STORY-LINE MAIL ORDER BRIDE: MARTHA BY MISTY SHAE AND TERRI GRACE:

Martha Plinket's on her way west as a mail order bride. When the train hits a mudslide and Indians board, kidnapping Martha, she's terrified. Tied, gagged, and thundering, only God knew where, the horse falls in a gully; killing itself and the Indian. Martha, with a huge lump on her head, stumbles to the cabin of mountain man Gabriel Marsh.

Marsh, a loner for many years, rescues Martha from his yard and the bitter cold. Waking with a headache and sick on her stomach, she finds a large man staring at her. Marsh, fearing they'll be snowed in, with no way out, knows he needs to get Martha to town and her fiancé. But after days together Martha's not sure she wants to go to her fiancé. How will this all shake out? Can Marsh, who has been hurt in the past, see Martha as a Godly Christian woman of faith? Will their feelings grow as they travel to the nearest town? My romance book review of Mail Order Bride: Martha, follows.

CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:

Misty Shae and Terri Grace crafted a sweet clean romance filled with heart and emotion. Marsh's past haunts him, however, Martha gives him ease. Knowing she has a fiancé unsettles Marsh. I found Shae and Grace's characterization of Marsh strong and dependable; a solid good man with deep wounds. They also gave him a caring heart; regretting his past. Martha's past allows her to care deeply as she is a giver, never complaining, unused to luxury. She had a hard life as a preacher's daughter; used to little food or warmth. Shae and Grace created a wonderful woman for Marsh; one who has heart, compassion, and a willingness to work.

Although short stories and novellas can not develop the characters or story-line in the depth of the their parent, the novel, Shae and Grace packed this short book of 48 pages with a solid story. Their characters are believable and likeable and the writing style flows smoothly. I loved both characters and would love to see more of them in a future book. Perfect for a lazy hour or so of relaxation. A solid sweet clean romance suitable for anyone who loves western romances, I would not hesitate to buy this book for my self or a friend. I look forward to reading more from Misty Shae and Terri Grace.

Short and sweet

I received this book free from Pure Reads and this is my honest review. I enjoyed this book very much. It wasn't long so I was able to read it in one sitting. It was how tragedy pulled two strangers together and kept them together. I highly recommend any books by this author.
