3 stars I purchased a copy of the 5 historical clean romance boxset of short stories called Mail Order Bride Western Romance: A Time to Love Complete Boxset by terri Grace and this review was given freely. A faith filled story comprised of five segments including four sisters and their mother who move to Idaho and become brides in order to escape being unpaid servants to their vindictive wealthy New York grandparents. Each piece can be read separately as they recap the prior one. Best if read in sequence. Each segment ends as the couple confesses their feelings or agree to marry. Contains a heavy portion of violence such as alcoholism, adultery,spousal abuse, mental abuse, whipping, starvation, abortion and enslavement. 18+ recommended for violence.

A quick short story about a daughter and mother and vicious grandparents. The grandmother and grandfather to Amber have hostility towards her mother and torture the mother. Three older sisters want their mother and sister with them out west. I the last born son of a family in the west hast to find a pride. Read this short story to see how Charles wrangles up the bride.
I found the series of stories about a mother and her four daughters to be a fun and interesting series of stories. The author has done a wonderful job of telling the tale of their fate. Romance and suspense is only a small part of the journey to happiness lived by the five women.
A good rescue from 'hell' story. Encouraging us to hope when all hope seems lost, and to remind us we still have a responsibility to work at our relationships. Short but helpful.
I loved how this picked up in the series and you get a chance to find out a little more about why the girls mother fell in love with their dad before he changed for worse. Hard to put down.
This continues to be an ongoing sweet sweet story that you will not want to miss. Reading it out of sequence will destroy part of the joy of the .mystery of watching God's hand at work, though he sure you start with book 1 and follow through.
Well book four was a little surprising but good as the other three books now I assume book five will be mom's happiness but... What about Dora at the tyrants estate??
