Modern Mail Order Bride #5
On A Rainy Night in Georgia
On a rainy night in Georgia, Ezekiel Neary lights a fire in the old hunting cabin in the mountains where he, his two brothers and father would come to get away from it. Healing from a gun shot wound, the post traumatic stress has left him less than fit for human company. Company was more than he bargained for when a naked pregnant woman in labor shows up on his doorstep.
The roads are washed out and Aisha Miller has no choice but to run from her captor or risk bringing her child into the world in a dark cabin. Praying, she runs wildly through the woods, ending on a washed out road. The only glimmer of hope is a blue mailbox, partially rusted, halfway sticking out under the sparse moonlight.
The lone cabin sits on a hill, with two large windows looking down on her as if to pity her circumstance. Half crawling, the contractions are one minute apart and she prays that the figure in the window will be a Godsend versus the nightmare she just escape.
Join me as we head to Georgia for a new twist in the happily ever after of Ezekiel and Aisha.

I'm a fan of this author and her books never disappoint.

I'm conflicted about this one. I was really excited about this premise. But this story simply did not work for me. I found myself rolling my eyes at times, or skipping sections because I just couldn't get into what was happening. Suspension of belief is not option with this story. Some of the "funny" moments just made me cringe so hard as to catch a cramp. The main one being the middle name he gave her. I literally wanted to throw my reading device (my phone) across the room when I read that. It was just awful. Ugh. But, at the same time, I didn't want to stop reading. I'm actually not certain how I should feel about this one. I just know it was not one of my favorites for a number of reasons. Also, an editor would have been a really big help.

Not mess
Every horrible Cliche about a black woman that you can think of is in this book. This lady lost me when she called the lead character sheneneh!!! Just throw the whole damn book away. This book was so bad that I don't wanna even read anything else from this author.

Their lives were not forfeit!
Aisha Miller aka Tameka Shenaynay Robinson found herself in a very heart wrenching and harrowing situation. That middle name just kills me. The only way she survived being held captive by Jimmy Don Maclemmore was by going inside herself to a difference place. She prayed for survival and God delivered her to the safety of Ezekiel "Zeke" Nash on a rainy night in Georgia. He was broken and she was damaged and it turned out that they were the healing balm each other needed to become whole again.
Olivia wrote a very creative and heart wrenching story of a young woman's survival. She has her way with words and how she wrote the conversations between Zeke and Tameka getting accustomed to each other was so cute. I loved the way she included characters from her previous work "Blind Date." It was good to read how Nate and Sharon faired in life. I just wish I could have read about justice being served to the Maclemmores and the corrupt sheriff. I assume that will be followed up in a future book.
This was a great read and I would recommend it.

As a fan of Olivia Gaines, I get excited when I see a new title that's available via Amazon Kindle
pre-order. Simply put, she's an imaginative author with loads of mother wit, who's on my shortlist of Auto-Buy worthy Authors.
Although this one wasn't pitch perfect, I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to next title in this entertaining series.
Giving this one: 4 stars.

Not what I expected
This book uniquely took a horrible situation and you still ended up with a happily ever after situation. This author has a wonderful humorous side that shows in her writing. It's a nice light and airy humor that is needed in literature.

I was not as thrilled with this as I wanted to be, there were a few things that irked me. Aisha is a victim of kidnapping after she singed on to be a mail order bride, she ends up being shackled in a cabin by her intended groom's brother. But she is no stranger to refusing to become a victim of her circumstances, now pregnant by her rapist and near starvation/dehydration. But her prayers are answered, on a rainy night as she goes into labor and manages to escape. Her determination and faith lead her straight into the home and into arms of Ezekiel Neary. Who is a secret service agent recovering from injuries he suffered while on duty. He's suddenly thrust into fatherhood as he delivers Aisha's baby on his mother's favorite living-room rug. He realises that in order to get her and the baby off this mountain, she must become someone new to hide in plain sight.
These two are stuck together after life altering unfortunate events, his physical and hers emotional. But the issue comes where Aisha, now known as Tamika never let herself process any of her ordeal, not just in a healthy way, but at all. Trauma effects everyone differently, which is an important thing to keep in mind. But the effects of it can manifest into many different symptoms. And her bottling them up and putting on what was essentially a mask for her new life was a bit unsettling to me. While its repeatedly stated how okay she is, and how mentally strong she is, the reality is that that is unrealistic after suffering from rape and being held hostage for a long period of time. By definition, she is most definitely not okay.
The other thing that was off to me was the complete normalization of Zeke adoring the woman 11 years older than him, that he renamed Tamika after. She was his childhood babysitter who was also a child predator. I don't know what you were trying to romanticize Olivia Gaines, but a woman having sex with 15 year olds (and both of Zeke's brothers) is a pedophile. There is nothing sweet about her grooming Zeke in a sexual relationship no matter that it continued till he was 21 and she was married. If the genders were reversed it's still a crime. And him renaming Aisha after his dead (pedophile) lover left a bad taste in my mouth. PLEASE DO NOT NORMALIZE ANYTHING about sexually predatory women, because it's no different than with men.
This couple just did not have a connection. And even of they did, it wasn't ever expounded on because we got a million and one other pov's that were unnecessary and could have focused on Zeke and Tamika getting more comfortable in understanding each other. In between taking care of baby Michelle and these virtual strangers becoming acquainted while healing. It was a bit of a let down and felt like things were just glossed over.
*And also, if Zeke was the detail for our lovely first lady Michelle Obama, her code name for the secret service is Renaissance.

Disappointed
I've enjoyed quite a few books by this author, this story however was an absolute disaster. The story fell short for me after the free sample. It was like the author wrote just enough to hook you with the sample then passed the story on to a 3rd grader to finish. I really enjoyed the other stories in this series but I don't know if I'll purchased another installment after this.

Serious content, not your usual style
The typos and unedited perusal took away from the quality of this work. It was a serious piece, with too much of the "laugh-a-minute" cracks. Could have been 5 stars, had it been edited correctly and serious throughout, with only the end lightened a bit.

Editing
The storyline was gut wrenching in the beginning, and it really held my interest. While I truly enjoyed the story, I was disappointed with the lack of editing. In my opinion, this would have been a much better read if one didn’t have to stop several times to either add, delete or rearrange words in a sentence to understand exactly what the author was trying to say.

So so
The premise seemed so far fetched and unbelievable. In addition to the dialog and phrases used by the characters didn’t fit their personalities. Just weird.

This book was the first i have read from ms olivia and it got me hooked. I love it and i love the Neary family. Tameka had such a traumatic life and i could feel her pain yet im happy she found her happiness through Zeke. And he with her. I have nothing bad to say on this story except for the part where the ugly truth of her abduction should have been revealed to her friends so they could understand her pain and endure her sufferings with her. They were supposed to have been closed after all. Other than that, the story was heavy and yet appealing to me. Among the three friends i love Tameka the most because of the trauma she went through and yet the bravery she posed in the face of death. She was the less privileged among the three and if it was not for her, the other 2 would not have met the Nearys. She is good in all terms. The whole year of her pregnancy, the ordeal she had to go through, the pain and hurt, oh my god. It was so nasty i cried while flipping the page. Yet i still feel her pain should have been made known to the Nearys and her friends. It would have brought her into a different light in their eyes.
The Nearys are sweet and loving. I would love to have them as my family too. No wonder she loved them immediately.
It was an awesome read and im glad i started with this to become your fan ms olivia. I am looking forward to other book and in the meantime, keep creating more Nearys and Tameka. Oh, michelle is one warm baby
Thank you

I didn't like it, but it gets five stars.
Written well enough but it was a HARD turn from the almost hallmark-ish stories that came earlier in the series.
On one hand I liked the hard turn. No way every mail order bride senerio goes damn near perfect every time. On the other hand, good lord, ease a reader into the dark side of the "romance" genre. Preferably with something slicker than (spoilers) a mucus plug.
Did I like it, nope. However, I think I would have liked it if I went into the read without thinking it was going to be a hallmark romance novel. Maybe even it was another author. I almost feel like this needed to be written under a different pen name.
This wasn't a "romance" and if I think of it as such it gets 4 stars. Giving it five because is keeping me on my toes and has me curious about the rest of the books in the series.

...Rainy Night
Wow. I'm going to try and give a great review without sharing the plot and story line. First, if you want to read an unconventional romance, this is it! Second, its one of the best romances I've read in a while, and I read over 100 romances a year (hobby, not work). There were no punches pulled in this story and ther is a happily ever after. It was so authentic that you witnessed the trials of the two main characters with respect for their strength and courage. Finally, it is NOT predictable and yet it is not so unexpected. So, if you want to "read" about romance, this is not for you, but if you want to share in the love story of two unforgettable people, don't hesitate to share in their story. I look forward to the brothers stories.
This book is a winner, and I'm waiting for the Romantic Times award for this writer. 👏

Interesting...
Gritty fast-paced scary tale. Zeke & Michelle are two broken people who are tossed together by fate repairing each other over time. The backstory is all too real in this fictional story revealing a most cautionary heartbreaking reality. It was a wonderful surprise to meet up with Nate & Shanice again..& even Gabriel. When I read the excerpt a few months ago & pre-ordered, I felt then it would be good. On A Rainy Night....is better than I expected.
There is a lack of the usual sappy "romance" here. But I think it's appropriate considering all of the heavy awful circumstances the H & H wallow in. Please read on people. Just sit back, hold tight and enjoy a helluva ride!

Great story please bring on the others!😂
As with the first of your books I read, I found myself laughing out loud again! Even though it started off sad with what happened to our heroine her ability to compartmentalize gave her character verve. Our hero was also funny, loving, loyal and dangerous once crossed. It is difficult to imagine such business enterprise coming from the likes of the hill Billy drug and people traffickers ensconced in the mountains where our heroine now found herself to be. I really enjoyed reading this story and aquainting myself with the many characters and how they impacted the storyline. I can hardly wait for the next books from Ms Gaines to drop. Great story! Readers: Please read this book for the pure pleasure of it.

Oh wow 😳 talk about DRAMA. Poor Aisha. She made a choice naively thinking it would lead to a happy ending. Sadly got into deep trouble 👿. Found love eventually. Loved all the characters especially Josiah and Wife as well as sons. Looking forward to reading all the characters’ in the forthcoming books. The author tackles some serious situations with humour as well. Snook’ums really... where do these pet names come from? Fun fun fun. It was a touching story with a lovely ending... Heartwarming. What is the matchmaker’s story...how does she have an agent who know that Aisha is alive and etc when Tameka’s friends didn’t know. Quipped my curiosity. Potential book ... looking forward to to Gabe, Isaiah story and will now heard to Nate’s story. Love your writing Olivia Gaines.l am hooked.

Love it
Not sure what I expected but this book was so unexpected. I enjoyed being able to catch up with Sharon and Mann; oh yeah and Gabriel. The new family twist is great.
This is the first book to an awesome adventure can’t wait for Gabriel and Isaiah’s books.
With her usual style Ms. Olivia has primed us for a new and exciting adventure. I will say it helps somewhat if you have read Blind date.
Aisha/Tameka’s strength is something to be admired considering what she has gone through. Zeke is true a heroes hero.
P.S. I love Mary and Josiah with parents like that their sons have to be awesome.

Faith...Funny Feelings... Flashbacks...& Floods
Olivia has a great ability to combine unique situations, home grown wisdom, quirky humor and life lessons. She is my favorite author for good reasons.
This story feels like a challenge. Like she challenged herself to dig deeper. Like she is challenging the reader to broaden their idea of what a strong woman looks like and what a strong man needs to be strong.
The characters each have a special relationship with God. They also have special abilities. They are fiercely protective and uniquely vulnerable.
This book is worth the read.

Lifetime movie in a book
Amazing story! I love how spiritual Gabriel and Aisha (i.e. Tameka) are. How they felt God moving the pieces in their life. I love how caring and gentle Gave was in taking care of Aisha. When Nate came through with the Armageddon prep bag, I was like come through Nate! Then the analogies Miss Gaines used to describe feelings....priceless. This was a adventurous story filled with that notion of watching a Lifetime thriller movie and the fact that this ish could really happen! I'm about to one click the next book in this series! I'm in love with these Neary men and Mate is a man after my own heart!

Can I rate this book with 10 stars? not that I didn't love the first four in the series because I did. However this book grabbed me from page 1 and never let go. I loved that they were friends with the Mann's from Blind Date another one of my favorites (book 4) And Zeke's family is a trip and one that you don't want to mess with. There was also plenty of Mrs. Gaines signature humor in this book. I'm excited to read the next 2 books which are about Zeke's brother and Aisha's/ Tameka friends. The tidbit at the end of Rainy Night let me know that they are going to HOT!

I'VE NEVER LAUGHED THIS MUCH!!
Ok! So we have to overlook typos! Have to suspend reality! And we have to guess what word is missing from the sentence in order for it to make sense!
BUT, once we do all of that, we find ourselves reading 📚 some of the funniest, touching and romantic books we have EVER had the pleasure of reading!!!
Yes....it's IR books, but the author doesn't make it a HUGE deal!
So unless interracial couples are against your beliefs, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES!

Broken x 2
Zeke needed a purpose to keeping moving forward he got it in the form of a wide and a new borne. The baby represent hope she is looking to these two people to love her and teach her the ways of the world. Tameka survived her ordeal the best way she knew how to. To heal she will need some counseling and am sure Zeke will ensure she gets it. Michelle was important in the story because it gave Zeke a second chance to protect and provide for a child that he lost previously.

Take a run through the woods
I finished reading this book while I should of been sleeping. Wanted to strangle "Tameka" for her calling MY name ghetto but your real name is just as hood and you deserved that middle name!! However, the book was well written but I felt some parts were repetitive. Thanks for the update on some other characters and can't wait for the next installment.

GREAT STORY.
This was such a great read for me, I loved Zeke and Tameka’s story. This is my first time reading this Author’s work and I loved the storyline. This was an emotional story about two people who were going through a terrible time in their lives. I would definitely recommend this book everyone who enjoy reading a good story. Thank you Olivia I can’t wait for the other two Neary men books.

Quite A Page Turner
This novel captivated me from the start and kept me entertained throughout. Lots of twist and turns, laugh out loud moments and powerful issues.
Real and honest characters that were greatly developed and convincing. A detailed story that unfolds beautifully, with a great balance of humour, love and seriousness. A breathtaking adventure that was emotional and uplifting. I would definitely recommend this book. A MUST read. Thank you OG 😁

Awesome
Ms. Gaines never disappoints! This story was amazingly spiritual! Tameka/Aisha was so resilient, not allowing herself to be victimized by that horrible Jimmy Don. In Zeke, she found a treasure beyond compare. I felt kind of sorry for Harley and wondered if he has his own story somewhere...maybe he will be more mature.....next on my reading list I have the other Neary boys and Nate!

Uuumm
I enjoyed this story, its a valiant effort, but sorta unbelievable. I'm going to read the whole series (I'll probably buy them together).
But about this book, I like the characters, I liked Zeke, he was a stand-up guy. Aisha/Tameka was okay, I like that she knew how to fiend off predators. She was a strong woman.
Read the book, but find the right order because I'm sure it will be fun.
