His Heart's Guardian Angel
When nineteen-year-old Becky Adams boards a train, leaving behind everything she's ever known to marry a stranger, she's aware of the risk involved. The moment she discovers that her fiancé is not the well-respected business owner she'd been expecting, she decides to get away from him. She has to escape, before saying the two words that will sentence her to a life of fear and regret. Running away from the church on the nearest available horse, Becky gallops away for her safety. Hoping to track down an old friend, Emma, who lives in a nearby town, Becky unexpectedly runs into a wounded man. Exhausted but eager to help, she rushes him to the nearest doctor. It isn't until the light of day that she realizes that the person she just saved is none other than Emma's brother, the man she'd always dreamt of marrying. Could love be an option for her after all, or will she have to accept her miserable fate without complaint?
Jack and his sister have always longed to start their own cattle ranch in the West. However, their dreams fall apart when he is attacked by wandering outlaws, who abandon him penniless and severely injured. As he falls in and out of consciousness, a guardian angel comes to his aid. Jack will be stunned to learn the true identity of his savior, who is none other than Becky. He never thought he'd see her again, and he certainly isn't prepared to face the beauty she's become. The rancher finds himself tongue-tied in her presence, feeling lost in his strong emotions. Regardless, love will have to wait as he has a ranch to run, and a lost fortune to rebuild. How can he possibly repay her after she saved his life?
Becky and Jack become closer as they work side by side and their affection for one another grows, as they are learning to live on the unforgiving land. When Becky's ex-fiancé tracks her down, looking for revenge, Jack knows this is his chance to repay the debt. Fate meant for Becky and Jack to reunite, making the idea of continuing on without each other unbearable. Will it be too late for Jack to win over Becky or will his devotion to her prevail?

This is an amazing historical romance in the 1800's. The first few chapters were rough and raw making it hard to read.
A young girl, Becky Adams was living in an orphanage until she was the age to leave. She became a Mail Order Bride which didn't work out. She found a horse, jumped on and off she ran down the country road to find her friends who was in the same orphanage. She rode until she found a hurt man beside the road she stopped to help him.
The story got better as I read, it turn out to be a lovely story. The storyline and plot was amazing, I couldn't put the book down. I enjoyed the writing style and have already bought another book that author has written
The characters were vividly described making the story come alive and the settings were well described with vivid color. This is the first book that I have read by this author. It is a good clean book, I recommend this book to all that like historical romance novels. A bonus at the was an unexpected extended epilogue. This is a stand-alone story, no cliff- hangers.

When Becky finds out the man she was supposed to marry is twice her age and abusive , she runs. On the way to her friend's house she rescued her friend's brother who's been robbed and is hurt. This is their story. The author does a great job taking you back to the day with her perfectly painted scenes. Her characters are strong and well developed and the story moves fluidly with her descriptive and detailed writing. She brings drama and action as well as the sweet romance. It an enjoyable story and I would recommend reading.

A little unrealistic and possibly unfair
Strong against all odds, joined her friends and crush from the orphanage where they were raised together to build a life together as Cute story, but just felt a little “entitled.”
Jack showing his Money and walking back home with a year’s earnings alone was something his rancher friends should have known was a bad idea.
I understand why she ran away from marrying the man who paid for her to travel to WY to marry him, but think she should have made some attempt to at least reimburse his expenses or to let him know she would when she could.

An old friend, an angel, or his forever?
This was such a sweet story I loved every minute I spent reading. Becky becomes a mail-order bride and finds it is not what she expects so she becomes a mail-order runaway bride. On her travels, she comes across an injured man who just happens to be her friend’s brother and the man who holds her heart. Lovely characters overall and wonderful villain to is what you will find in this piece. I loved the cover perfect for this time of year. I am happy to recommend this book.

January 12, 2021I often wonder how many of the real mail order brides ended up with a William Culver rather than the person described in the ad. Grace Clemens has given us one of those stories with the tale of William Clemons, Becky Adams and Jack Davis. This book has deception, greed, romance, danger and truly, some very interesting characters. I enjoyed this story and be sure and read the Extended Epilogue for a few more twists.
June 12, 2021
Jack Davis and Becky Adams have known each other since they were in the same orphanage growing up. Becky has loved Jack since she was 12. Jack moved on with his sister Emma to Wyoming territory. Becky eventually took a mail order bride ad from out of Wyoming in the hopes of reconnecting with Jack and his sister Emma. True love and the wild west leads to an interesting read you won’t want to put down.

His and her hearts
Beyond all the struggles and challenges, I loved how true personalities and true family ties came about. The relationships were so pure and sweet, I couldn’t help but cheer them on. I liked the fact that propriety and proper decorum were obviously practiced. My favorite fact though was the emphasis that true riches isn’t about money.

I enjoyed this book. This is fiction but even fiction can tell a story about God making the way for some people to find each other again. As for him traveling alone with all that money was questionable - but the story pretty much began at that point. Even today, people make dumb mistakes - right.
Despite some complaints by some, I really enjoyed this book.

Inspirational historical romance
Good story. Not sure what they had on William that he would be in prison the rest of his life. Yes assault and breaking into Jack 's place.. I agree he is a nasty piece of work..but did the have enough on him?

After all this time could it truly be him?
A true of what like was like in parts of the old West . A great read filled with endearing characters and a tale of undying love that was thought to be lost.

Lots of adventure and intrigue in the beginning to reel me in. The book later slips into the “man is kind dumb” trope for a while before winding back to the danger faced in the beginning chapters.

Clemens packs so much into this book!
Tropes:
Orphanage friends,
Mail-order bride,
Thieves & a robbery,
A runaway bride,
And a rescue of a dying man.
Dang!
... But it all comes together pretty perfectly and this book was good. I was happy while reading this book.
Every once in a while I need a chill read that I don't have to think about much!
The plot was good and it wasn't too stretched out or boring.
⚠️⚠️⚠️SPOILERS AHEAD💚💚
Becky is a mail-order bride
for a guy named William, finds out he's abusive, runs away on a stolen horse, finds an injured men on the route to safety in
Kaycee, Wyoming & pulls him onto her horse. In the light of day she realizes that the injured men is friend of hers & someone the grew up with in her orphanage, Jack.
Jack was left for dead by thieves.
Anyways, Becky moves in with him & his sister (also an orphanage friend of hers) & slowly falls in love with Jack.
One thing I would've changed about this story is: we never get a good conversation between Jack & Beaky about how she saved him. He thanked her, but that was it.
Also, the book was a teensy bit redundant.
Especially because Jack's sister Emma kept bothering him about falling in love with becky. Becky's abusive groom finds her near the end of the book a Jack saves her.
This book was pretty good - a nice, chill read.
