Sometimes a mail order bride needs to be saved… and sometimes she has to do the saving.
Everything went wrong for Robert. Alone and desperate, he needed a companion. Someone to fill the dark void in his life. He wasn’t searching for love, only friendship. He had no idea he would soon find both.
Clara was facing her own desperate struggles. A divorced woman with a secret that made her unwanted by most men.
The only way to save herself was to become a mail order bride.
But it wasn’t an easy choice, and Robert’s not an easy man. He has his own secrets, and he won’t share them. But Clara won’t give up. Robert might be tough, but she’s tougher.
The more Clara learns about him, the more she wants his affection… and his love. But she’s not sure Robert’s willing to give it. When disaster strikes, Robert and Clara will have to face their fears.
But can they overcome them in time to save their relationship, or were they doomed from the start?
How is this rated so high? It's incredibly boring. The hero is shy the heroine doesn't do much. I couldn't take it after awhile and and skipped halfway. Yup still same old skipped to end. Boring
Those mail order brides didn't always have a happy ending. You know marry a loving caring partner. You know friends, partners then lovers. Life is strange, sometimes these poor women are used and have more respect for their animals. This drama seems to concentrate on communication between two people. Can't get anything settled until you discuss the situations and how you feel about each other. Certainly won't happen through osmosis....right, you agree
I agree with some of the reviews the author should done more research on the historical error. It was an interesting plot and the characters grew on you. It is highly unlikely during that time a woman coming from polite society would have stayed with a man before being married. Also, some of the lust or sexual tension building up could have been left out of the story.
This is a good story. It's different from most MOB stories, in that this young woman lives with her soon to be husband for a few months before the wedding takes place. They have several adventures while learning about one another. I enjoyed the book, hopefully you will too!!!!!
Clara was a divorced and she was to be Roberts bride. Robert and Clara had serious skeletons in their closets. She was snow bound with Robert in his mountain home and not able to leave the home until spring when the snow fall would melt. Will they discover their love or part as soon as the snow melts? This is a good story and you will enjoy reading it.
This is a HEA story of two people brought together out of necessity. Sometimes HEA isn't easy when all you've known is sadness. But often, it can make the joy even sweeter, as it did for these two.
This book will remind you of a great loss that has been in your past or present and how you handled your grieving. A lonely man and a lonely divorcee find each other and work through their grief.
I enjoyed the book start to finish. These are people I have enjoyed meeting. The scenery was breathtaking and the plot just different enough to make it fun. Thanks.
Interesting to engage in their misinterpretations as they get acquainted. The past so frequently clouds the present and progress on moving into the future.
Most of these mail order books are predictable, this one has a bit of a twist. Lots of sexual tension. I want to read the rest of the books in the series
