Quick, light, sweet
Easy read. Good to pass the time. Clean novella. I wouldn’t classify it as Christian but nothing offensive in it.

I was in the mood for a cowboy type book, but not one that was modern day. I was never one for the mail order bride genre but Effie sounded good when I read the synopsis. I was not disappointed. There were no gratuitous sex scenes which was nice because I was in the mood for a feel good, happily ever after story. I really enjoyed the way that the characters were portrayed. You could have easily disliked Effie, but I felt for her. The book is a quick read and isn't bogged down with unnecessary description or dialogue. I would have liked to know what happened with Alice and her husband and some of the other characters, but this wasn't their story to tell obviously. All in all, I really enjoyed this book, and would highly recommend it. I'm going to need to find more Kit Morgan books!!

Effie and Forrest
Effie is a New York debutante, Forrest is a hog farmer in Oregon. Fate will throw them together after tragedy strikes Effie's family. When Effie arrives in Oregon as a mail order bride, Forrest isn't sure what he's gotten. Effie can't cook, can't see, and doesn't know anything about slopping hogs. Effie isn't too pleased that she'll be living in two room cabin and learns that not only will they not be making regular trips into town, but their nearest neighbor lives five miles away. Will these two opposites attract or will Effie find a way to go back home? The book is filled with humor, angst, and love. I quite enjoyed it.

City girl weds country boy
And they make a good life together. Hard to imagine the choices mail order brides had to make, but one has to wonder how many were not to live happily ever after. Fortunately, Effie learns quickly how to best help her husband carve out a life together in the western town where she lands after being turned out by her bankrupt father in New York. How she and her husband bond makes a very nice sweet read.
I got this book in a mass giveaway, and am reviewing it in hope others will also enjoy it.

I was looking for a good mail order bride series and decided to give this one a shot. It is a little different because the books are written by different authors. This review is for books one and two. We have a couple of brothers that lose everything and as a result their daughters have to find husbands quick. The first book deals with Effie a girl that really had no idea how to do anything but ends up finding love. I am looking forward to next one.

quick read
Story was interesting. It was a quick read. The moral was very good and well done. The writing was okay, but not great. The story was a tad choppy in places. But over all it was a good read and worth a short amount of your time.

Very good story
Lots of good reading here. Very enjoyable. A fall from riches can't be easy for the rich. But if you are born poor you can appreciate what you do have and be happy.

Sweet, clean, and humorous
This was a sweet, clean, and humorous story. I love how Effie adapted to her new life and learned to enjoy and respect it. My only wish is that there had been an epilogue.

Learning true values
The story was a bit short, even more character development would help with that. I enjoyed the humor of Effie learning new values and the common sense tenderness and willingness of the couple to patiently work toward goals.

New life
Have you ever the about traveling across country to marry a person you never met ? To me it's very scary. The mail order brides were the strongest women's of their time . I loved the book.

Sweet Read
Kit Morgan teaches you in this story just what is really important. Effie, the New York socialite, learns in a hurry what it means to be just the opposite of everything she has ever been when she becomes a mail order bride. Clean Read.

Culture Shock
Effie thought she was better than moist until her world changed dramatically. She became a mail order bride. What a great start to a new series. Fantastic!

A bit different from the usual
Tale. Good main characters, would have liked more background on the groom. Devolved into some stereotypes but enjoyed the book.

The story was very sweet, yet full of lessons in life. Effie learned humility, trust, friendship and the value of real life. I loved it. She made me laugh and get emotional.

This is unexpectedly good. It was short which is sad but it was so sweet and well delivered story.

So Kit Morgan is the author that I stumbled across last year that introduced me to the whole mail order bride/western historical romance/kindle book thing. I have loved everything that I've read by her and this is no different. A very good introduction to a new series, I look forward to reading more books about the other sisters and cousins. I just don't think you can go wrong with Kit Morgan.

Her Step Mom Ship her off as a Mail Order Bride
It was the best thing her Step Mom could have done , is sign her up as a Mail Order Bride
The story told how she learned to care about other people instead of just her self.
