Carrie was on her way to California to be a mail order bride. But when she stops in Wallace she decides she is going to work at Stewart House as waitress.
Leeroy Jackson, the coach driver that takes Carrie over to Stewart House takes shine to her but Carrie has just signed a year contact to work at Stewart house and she can’t marry or have any obligations.
Leeroy saves Carrie from a rude made in the restaurant one day and Carrie starts to see he is more than a friend. Can she give up and love him or keep her contract?
Loved these two characters Leeroy did not push and Carrie held out as long as she could. It was nice too see this perspective of mail order brides.
I voluntarily read a copy of this book.

This is a nice, short, clean historical romance. Carrie Nelson is going west after accepting an ad for a mail order bride. When her train stops over in Kansas she is given a news ad for a local job at a local restaurant. She decides she really doesn't want to continue on to California and takes a wagon ride from Leeroy Jackson to the restaurant for an interview. Wonderful characters, and enjoyable story. Can be a standalone story.

My honest rating is 2.5 stars. It's a sweet story but lacks depth. There was little character development casting them as one-dimensional. Good grief, the main characters have all of four conversations, two of which are extremely brief. How is the reader supposed to believe there is any sort of connection, much less romance, between them if they have such a flimsy connection?
