Lucy Magee fears she may be cursed with bad luck forever. Desperate for her marriage to Dr. Sam Slater to finally bring her the good fortune she longs for, Lucy’s fears are confirmed when a tragic death clouds her journey to meet him. Just one look at the dashing doctor’s face, and Lucy knew their marriage was the right choice. But Lucy is devastated when their first picnic together ends with the discovery of Sam’s shepherd’s dead body. Her luck turns from bad to worse when she starts receiving anonymous threats: someone is trying to force them from the land. But who? Will Lucy’s love for Sam be enough to get them through the storm, or is she really destined for a life of misfortune and tragedy?

Martha falls head over heels for the wisecracking farmer, but she has a secret. The new life growing inside her and a dark enemy from her past threaten their one shot at happiness. Can Martha and Gray triumph over Martha’s past and the menace that follows her? Will they finally get their chance at true love?

Fiona Wilkins is eager to leave her life in high society behind her and embark on an adventure on the frontier. She secretly replies to Eddie’s listing, but her father has other plans for her: she is to be auctioned off to a man she detests. Desperate to escape her parents and a future of certain unhappiness, Fiona escapes to Montana during the night.
But her carriage is hijacked, and Eddie’s anxiety turns to dread when he hears that the woman of his dreams has been taken hostage. Can Eddie and Fiona escape fate’s plans for them and secure a life of love and happiness together? Only time will tell.

Entertaining but juvenile writing
If you can enjoy a story without being bothered or being irritated by the style of writing, then these stories are for you. The characters are squeaky clean and all obstacles are overcome with very little effort. Everybody likes everybody else, even the Crow characters seem to be part of the family at times.
For me, the writing is juvenile and the character's inner thoughts are repetitive throughout each story. TIn one story the reader even gets a sentence in what a horse thought! I also felt that the author was introducing contemporary standards to the stories when each woman was expected to seek employment of one kind of another even though they seemed very contrived.

The basic story lines are relatively typical of genre but the presentation is below reasonable expectation. As well as needing more work on basic proofreading and elements of craft, all volumes struggle with inconsistency. The characters decide something, ignore it, then decide it again. Contradictions abound. I spent a chunk of the second book waiting for woman to be caught out in lie on her fake name only to finally realize the author just up and changed it instead. Also seems to make little attempt at historical accuracy--stressing repeatedly it was only a black and white photo, assuming women should work and care for the home as the norm, etc. You drive wagons, not "lead" the horses from the seat.

I had great difficulty with all the editing mistakes. From sentences not making sense, misspellings, added words, character names changing after several pages. I am ashamed that a professional author can be okay putting books out like this. The problems were way beyond computer spell check. I won't buy this author again. Story lines were okay but you could guess what was going to happen. Book 2 was the worst.

I would like some more of this series please!
I just love Amelia’s books. Out of this set of four, I think my favorite would be the 3rd book with Eddie and Fiona. That one had a lot of action in it. I love when the Crowe Indian Tribe is included in the stories. I know I quickly fall in love with the characters in the series, the town and the individual stories. Only problem is that I am left wanting to read the next book in the series. I hate when I reach the final one!

Strong women and full of love!
A family grows bigger with each mail order bride. The women find what true salt they are made of and the men are helpless to fall in love. Each book brings the town closer and a true family seems to emerge throughout the series. It's wonderful to read about this new frontier life!

Fantastic
I love western mail order bride stories but a box set of continuing the saga, that takes it to the next level. Four wonderful stories featuring strong women, ill prepared for western life but buckled down to reach their full potential. Don't miss a second of the grand adventures.

Brides and Grooms
The series was very good. I liked the way the stories all started. High society women, going to the small town of the west. They all had to overcome barriers, and make a new life. Thief struggles made them better women and wives and mothers. Thank you for a great read.

Wonderful clean story's. Each book was added us.
They have been a joy to read. With unexpected turns in the middle of the book. Clean and wholesome yet entertaining. And a love story I can read with out worrying about the graphic sex. The romance was there. Thank you for your skill in writing.

4 Eastern mail order brides for Spruce Valley.
This box set is an excellent group of plots for a variety of western stories. There is lots of action and I always like when the stories interconnect. It's nice to revisit the previous story lines to see how the families are doing. The plots are rich in detail and well told. A very enjoyable read.

Finding yourself in the joy of purpose and love.
Delightful stories of lives that must change in order to find a future they never new was possible. Each story has its own charm and surprises. Moving seamlessly to the next book and seeing all the characters come together is an added bonus.

Mail Order Brides
To settle the West young men often had to advertise for Mail Order Brides from back East. Most worked out and the couple found love. These five books have all stressed how important sharing the truth makes it easier on both people to enjoy a relationship that lasts. Working together in a give and take situation brings respect to both and a happier relationship.

Audiobook Version
Another wonderful collection of stories from this author. I found many of these characters rather fun and interesting. The plot were well written and maintained my interest. Emotional at times and of course plenty of laughs. The narration was very well done. I recommend this set.

Great set
I really enjoyed the stories. The characters and descriptions were wonderful. I’ll admit I was not pleased to read a line from a famous book and movie in this book without any reference given at the end to offer credit to the original author. But otherwise quite enjoyable.

Well written, life experiences.
Emily and Josh were so very different but both willing to learn, accept the others differences and look at their future.
Seemingly impossible hurdles
for Emily and she took up the challenge.
I enjoy good clean, moral writing, which this certainly is!

Mail Order Brides for Men of the West
I loved the way that each bride didn't just travel to the town but had problems on the way or when they arrived in the town. The Author created a separate situation for each bride and the person that ordered them. And had them work out the problems with the help of the other brides and their families. I highly recommend this series.

Interesting
Amelia Rose weaves plots that are very familiar to me in the 21st century, but tucks them into another time very nearly. I have to say that the stories desperately need edoting

An enjoyable series of mail order brides travelling to Montana in hope of a freer lifestyle. A range of stories with colorful characters and some hair raising adventures that challenge the women venturing alone to the Wild West. Thanks Amelia Rose for a pleasurable read.

Thank you Amelia for writing such a wonderful series. Each book was as enjoyable as the one before. I enjoyed all the main characters very much and hated to see the story end.

I loved reading the stories of the four mail order brides. Amelia Rose was an unknown author to me, but her writing is great. I could picture the setting, and the people of the story. Loved Lucy, Fiona, Martha, and Emily.

Good story, needs editing
I enjoyed the stories but they all need to be edited.There are incorrect pronouns in several places. There are places where the wrong word is used and I had to go back and re read the sentence to figure out what was being said.

Heartwarming Stories
Each bride overcame their own set of problems that led them to their 'happily ever after.' Too many mis-spellings, wrong verb conjugations and plain and simple odd words to give 5 stars

Set in the late 1860s to early 1870s Montana. Inconsistencies in the stories and repetition take away from the reading experience. IMO if a character is going to come from the city of Atlanta just a few years after the civil war, that experience would have affected them.
