Addeline Brown, the matriarch of Wichita Falls - Max Jones, the man she's always loved - Will years of companionship turn to dust in the wind, or a wedding in the town of Wichita Falls?

Adeline has refused marriage to Max for decades while she helped to build Wichita Falls into the decent law-abiding town it is today. She takes it for granted that he will always be there, especially since he promised to never leave her no matter what. Those were his words, years ago. Now, there is a mystery in the air as a mail order bride that Addie didn't order is expected to show up by the end of the month. Will this be the end for Addie and Max? Or will it prompt her to finally make a decision so they can live happily ever after?

Max Jones has always loved Addie, even when he had to leave for 7 years to clear his past. Even though she won't marry him, he's promised to always look out for her. He knows her well enough to understand she has a hard time breaking away from the role she took up years before. With the help of every single citizen in Wichita Falls, Will Max be able to pull it off and finally make her his bride?

Will there be a happy ever after for Max and Addie or will fate once again step in?

Wonderful Series\ Book.

I loved everything about this series, Max and Addie was a Sweet Loving Story. He tried his best to get Addie to Marry him, took almost a Bank robbery to do the deal, Thanks Cyndi Raye.

Ok

It's difficult to finish off a series like
this. I enjoyed the beginning of the book. The 3 rider's part sort of detracted from it for me, although loved how the whole town comes to deal with it. A good ending to the series.

Addie and Max have been good friends from the moment they met. Max is in love with Addie and if she is one thing she is honest with herself. She loves Max too.
Addie has let herself feel comfortable with Max and he knows her well. She has decided the time has come to let her businesses function without her at the helm. She plans to turn over the Mail Order Bride business to Emma in Mill Ridge.
Max has asked her repeatedly to Marry, but she always says no. She has decided she is ready, but Max throws a wrench in her plans. He secretly sent for a Mail Order Bride and has purchased a home directly across the street! Addie is furious... She goes to Emma, who shows her the portrait of the woman Max has sent for.
Addie chooses not to let this get her down... Upon returning to town, she plans to continue the plan of meeting Max at their usual Saturday night dinner. However a few things tip her hand... You will be surprised when you read what they are! Max has a little surprise up his sleeve as well!
One last dramatic fight that Max must endure from his past and Miss Addie will finally be his bride! Can they both survive this fight? How will they get themselves out of this pickle! The men and women of Wichita Falls and Mill Ridge combine in a fight to see Miss Addie and Max have their HEA.
I have loved this series and am sad to see it end. I look forward to the next exciting series Cyndi Ray plans! Her books captivate me and keep me reading.
I received an ARC of this book and am choosing to leave an honest review.

This is a fun and heart warming book that will have you sometimes laughing and sometimes crying. Miss Addie has spent years helping to make Wichita Falls a wonderful town to live in and raise a family; she has ran a mail order bride business and has helped countless couples find their HEA and yet she has denied herself the love and happiness that is out there for her in the person of Max. The time has come; Max puts a plan in action, with the help of the entire town, to convince Addie to once and for all agree to the love and happiness that is hers. The plan does not go quite as planned when Addie finds out about it. Then Max's past comes calling and Max and Addie are kidnapped. They are eventually rescued by the sheriff's posse and the gun carrying women of Wichita Falls who are determined that Addie and Max will have their HEA. The author has done a wonderful job in bringing this great series to a conclusion. I really enjoyed this book, which is one of those that keeps you turning the pages to see what will happen next. Don's miss this one...

The perfect ending to a great series. Cyndi Raye has done it again.
Addie was the one who helped so many women to overcome obstacles in their past and find loving husbands and happy ever afters. She has put her happiness on the back burner for so long thinking what she is needed to help Wichita Falls to grow even more than she has.
Max has loved Addie since the day he met her and has asked her every week to marry him. Now after so many years he is growing impatient and with the help of the whole town has come up with a plan to make her change her mind.
I know you will enjoy reading this book as much as I have. It is the perfect ending for the matchmaker.

A one word review : Ahhh
The longer version is Miss Addie has been helping arrange Mail Order brides for years and perhaps it is time for her to have her own happy ending. She has been turning down her best friend's proposal for years, initially for good reasons but maybe it is time to change? Certainly Max thinks so and comes up with a devious plan to make her change her mind and naturally things don't go to plan.
The author certainly knows her readers and this book is perfect for us.
I received an advance copy of this book from the author, however this did not influence my review.

Addie, the matriarch of Wichita, decides it finally time to say yes to Max. He has asked numerous times now and she’s ready. Until she discovers he ordered a mail order bride, has he given up on her? Max has enough, it’s time to move on, or is there still a chance with the woman he’s loved from the first moment?
Sad to see this series end but what a great story. Catching up with all the brides and grooms is fun. They all will do everything to help with this HEA.

Addie

The whole town loves Addie and will stand beside her and offer her all their support. When she stubbornly refuses to admit her love they push her forward and humorous adventure ensues. Plus some good old western gunslinging. Fun to see characters from the past and let the story come to a natural conclusion.

👍The Best

I hate to see this series end. I have been an avid reader of this author's writing. She's superb storyteller. I wish the very best for Mac and Eddie and all the characters from all of her stories. It was a great and thrilling ride. Onward to the next one.

I have enjoyed every book in this series and the spin off series. Cyndi Raye's characters are brave, daring and interesting. Miss Addie has earned a happily ever after and hopefully she and Max will have a wonderful future. I look forward to what the next series will bring.

Great series

A really great ending to a wonderful series. I enjoyed every book in the series and really loved this last book. Addie and Max's story was worth the wait.
