Riley Butler has it all, or so she thinks. When her car swerves into oncoming traffic, she makes a desperate wish for a second chance at life. Brutally dropped in the middle of a grassy field in a chic business suit and sexy high heels, she looks distinctly out of place compared to her surroundings. Wooden buildings, saddled horses and strange stares all greet her as she stumbles her way into Dallas, 1845... as a mail order bride?!Riley’s first impression of John is quite daunting. He is unkempt, unshaven and unappealing at first glance. Underneath it all, she sees a tenderness in him that calls to her soul.Could this rugged and wild frontier life married to some grumpy man be exactly what she was looking for all along? When she is suddenly offered the chance of a lifetime, should she take it? Or can Riley give up modern gadgets and conveniences in order to have a chance at a lifetime of love?
Nothing exceptional, lots of thoughts going on. I would have preferred that they spoke together more than thoughts but that's just my own preference. Not for someone who likes a lot of excitement but just a sweet romance.
Interesting premise. I think I liked the hero's point of view more than the heroine's. There wasn't as much culture clash as I enjoy in my time travel stories, but I'm willing to give the next book in the series a go.
Even if you don’t read this genre of book, don’t hesitate to get this book. Ginny Sterling is one of my favorite authors. My favorite series of hers is Healing Hearts. While is a totally different book, expect the usual banter and swoon that you will find in every book of Ginny‘s. Riley and John will capture your heart and leave you with a great HEA.
You all know if Ginny writes it I will read it and when she told us she wrote this awhile back and what it was about I was in shock. This is so different from The Flyboys and Hockey Series I've been reading so much of lately. But let me tell you this was so much fun to read. I loved getting to know these characters.
Riley is from our time period and after an accident she finds herself in 1845 Texas!! Could you even imagine waking up with a fairy godmother in 1845?! I know I couldn't. She ends up meeting the grumpiest man named John. He thinks Riley is a mail order bride and oh boy does that make for one interesting story.
This story will have you laughing, swooning, smiling and getting a wonderful happily ever after ending. This is a quick read that will take you away to a different time and make you step back to when times were simple. I highly recommend this book.
That was a fun and sweet story. Thank you for publishing it. It would be fascinating to step back in time but definitely a hard choice with all the conveniences we have. But a soulmate makes all the difference! Love wins every time!!
Loved this one! A fun whimsical time travel romance with a quirky ‘Relocation Specialist’. Loved Riley & John and how their love story played out. I loved that Riley truly found out what mattered.
