Mail-order bride Lorelei Hastings arrives by train in Trinity Hill, Texas. Instead of being greeted by the darkly handsome, prosperous man she is expecting, a tall, muscular man wearing dusty work clothes claims her. Daniel Carpenter, the livery owner, explains the banker had ordered two brides to choose between for himself—and he's already made his choice. Lorelei is the leftover bride—and well, she’s got to marry somebody! She is furious, but has no recourse except to drive home with the big blond man who speaks very little. It isn’t long before Daniel’s son, Davy, steals her heart, and then Daniel makes his own claim…but will it come too late? There’s only so much a girl can take before she moves on!
Everyone has to do some changing to make love work
I really cared for these characters. All of the confusion and must derstanding created an ethos that made this book a page turner! Arthyur Teasdale gave me thee willies! I loved the beginnings of a normal childhood for his and the joys making friends. Of course the chemistry of these two continued to the very end. A fun read for light hearted romance.
Lorelei Hastings waits at the Trinity Hill train depot for Arthur Teasdale, the man who paid for her to be his mail-order bride. Instead, she gets blacksmith and livery owner Daniel Carpenter. Seems Teasdale ordered up two brides and already laid claim to bride #1.
Albeit miffed at being discarded, Lorelei goes home with Daniel to his place outside of town, where he lives with his young son. Lorelei and little Davy hit it off right away, but Daniel is a tougher nut to crack. Just when they are starting to communicate, Teasdale demands Lorelei be his bride because he and the other woman didn’t gel.
Now Lorelei’s got two prospective husbands and the choice is hers.
A quick, pleasurable read. Another winner from author Celia Yeary who pens books that make you feel like you’ve visited her Texas.

Good, but would have been better if it were longer. I love reading and this was good. An explanation of the talk between the two men and what changed the attitude to cause the lovely dinner would have been nice
