This boxed set presents some very different heroes and heroines, but the common theme is that they all find love, despite trials and tribulations along the way.

Excellent Collection of 25 Mail-Order Bride Novellas

I have not read these authors before, and what an introduction... 25 novellas all in one box set! Even though the stories are relatively short, the authors didn't do the dreaded information dump that is so typical in shorter fiction works. Yay! Good for them, and for us as the readers! The first story pulled me right in and brought me vividly into the characters’ world, time, and place. The settings and circumstances are well described, and the characters are believable and relatable. If you enjoy mail-order bride Western romance stories, it's hard to go wrong with a collection of 25 ones—especially when they are as well written as these.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

The stories I have read until now have been quite good for this kind of stories. But honestly - just OMG 25 stories all about the same things - is waywayway toooooo many stories together. 10 should be the max. I am almost giving up and I am reading the 11th or 12th story in this set and must say that I am not sure I can stomach all 25, they are just tooooooo many. This is just my opinion and the individual stories I am not letting them suffer here in my star ratings as the individual stories are quite good for this genre but to put all of them in one... not the brightest idea in my view.

I will cherish every book
If you love mail-order bride tales this is the book to pick-up because this gem has 25 of them! Some of them I have had a chance to already read but many I have not and I will cherish every book in this collection. Both authors do such a wonderful job with their characters in making them feel realistic and people you would like to meet. They have awesome twists in play too. I am still reading but I highly recommend this marvelous collection. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

This collection makes the reader feel happy and content. The characters are realistic and the stories are quite believable. Many have spins that are not expected and turn our delightful in the end.
Both Ms. Phillips and Ms. Smith have presented stories that are charming and uplifting that exhibit their writing ability. The 25 stories provide many hours of clean pleasant reading. The collection is highly recommended and not to be missed.

25 unique and interesting stories, this collection covers all kinds of opportunities taken by Mail Order Brides. The twists and turns keep you engaged and the personalities draw you in. Some of these are stories I've read in other collections and I enjoyed reading them once again. (I love being able to sit down and read a complete story in one sitting.) These authors are both favorites of mine and neither of them disappoint. A group of books like this is a gift that keeps on giving.

Filled with hope

This compilation of short books is filled with stories of young women who, many times selflessly, choose to leave home and family for an unknown, uncertain future as the bride of a man of the frontier. Pleasant reading. Great for one book each night before going to sleep!

nice clean stories

The mail order brides were so lucky to find peace and love in places they had never been. The stories were clean Christian and romantic. They kept a smile on my face and a interesting pastime. I look forward to reading more

A good variety of short stories

This collection is an eclectic mix of short stories. They include a lot of different plot twists. It’s easy to pick up and read a short story and then be able to put it down until later.

[Bev Neuenschwander · Rating 3 out of 5]

Expected more.

Stories had little plot and shorter than I prefer. Like a little more depth to novels. I was a little disappointed in the collection.

[Raylene Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Different

Esch of the books were actually very different than the others. It was hard to stop wanted to read without stopping could not do it

[Christine Oliver · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very short stories

The stories were clean short stories. I would like it if the authors continued the stories in a larger book, more detail and continuing the story.

[Phyllis Stinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent Set

Many mail order books are similar but this set is creative! I enjoyed them. There were a few mistakes but it didn't effect the stories!

[Leah Parker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entertaining

The first stories are not mail order bride in the strictest sense. They are all short fantasy stories that will help you forget your surroundings for a while.

[Marcia West · Rating 5 out of 5]

Streak.

I got on a steak of going from one set of books to the other. I failed to post when I got through with this set so don’t remember all the particulars.

[Ruth Magill · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed each one. I was afraid they would all be just alike but I was happy to say there was plenty of excitement with each one.

[Sharon Dexter · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Good Read

This series of books is a bit redundant. I got tired of reading about the cerulean sky . I did enjoy the stories though.

[Richard P. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Interesting characters and interesting story like the rest in the series. I recommend reading more of the series enjoy it

[carolyn Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

the stories were a quick read

I enjoyed reading the books when they were about a family of girls meeting their mates. The stories could have been a wee bit longer.
