Mail Order Brides Rescue Series Books 1-4
(Alternate cover edition of ASIN B08TCJRQXG.)
Book 1: Hot-Tempered Hannah
A bounty hunter searching for a missing mail-order bride who looks identical to the only woman he’s ever loved... When Gabe Donovan is recruited to track down a missing mail-order bride, he receives the shock of his life. She could pass as a twin to Hannah Merrill, his former partner whom he thought he lost in a fire. If she's still alive, it can only mean one thing — that she faked her own death — leaving Gabe precious little time to track down the missing beauty before the past she’s been running from finally catches up to her.
Book 2: Cold-Feet Callie
When a runaway bride meets a true cowboy... Tennyson Barra, a claim jumper turned rancher, is ready to settle down with a wife and family of his own. He figures the easiest way to find the perfect woman is to let the Boomtown Mail Order Brides Company do the searching for him. He never counted on his prospective bride being kidnapped by highwaymen on her journey out West. Or being the man sent to rescue her — only to discover she never intended to follow through with their marriage contract in the first place…
Book 3: Fiery Felicity
When love and the law collide… Levi Barra receives a telegram warning him to pay off a loan he wasn’t aware existed or risk losing his ranch. Since his sister has been badgering him about finding a good woman to marry, he decides the quickest way to solve both his problems is to advertise for a mail-order bride with a background in law.
Book 4: Misunderstood Meg
A lonely federal marshal working undercover, a wealthy heiress posing as a mail-order bride, a marriage of convenience that turns out to be anything but convenient… Meg Gladstone is a wealthy heiress who’s never tasted life outside the palatial fortress where she was raised for her own safety. The moment her late father’s shipping dynasty transfers to his business partner, she pursues her dream of living an normal, ordinary life. On a whim, she walks into a mail-order bride agency to inquire who would employ such an outlandish means to find a husband. To her surprise, the matchmaker spins a tale about love, family, and acceptance — all the things she longs for that her money can’t buy.
A sweet western historical romantic suspense series with humor, heart, and happily-ever-afters! Each title can be read as a standalone.

Fiery Felicity is just one of the mail order brides that need rescuing in this clean series that will keep you in suspense, entertain you, and all the while sprinkling a good measure of romance. These are all spirited women that refuse to crumble under their predicament. A box set full of good stories to keep you turning the pages.
Boomtown Mail Order Bride Company offers a insurance policy to try to locate the bride to be with her virtue unscathed if possible and return her to her potential Groom. The bride to be had already arrived in town awaiting the time she decided to set the wedding date. But her snooping into legal business of Levi's ranch turns up more answers than she could digest at the time. And her uncaring Uncle was the basis of all the ill gotten gain that was hurting so many people out west including the loan facing Levi. Her Uncle comes to kidnap her but she was not going to play the victim. Another entertaining mail order bride story that is full of fun and fear, happiness and tears.

In this boxed set, we have the first four books in the Mail Order Brides Rescue series. In the first book, we meet Hannah and Gabe, and the Barra brothers. I had to keep reading to find out what would happen next!!
In this second book, we meet up with Tennyson Barra and he meets Callie. Oh, wow, this book is good!!
In the third book, we meet up with Felicity, who just so happens to be an attorney, and Levi Barra. This one had a couple of surprise twists, and I loved it!!
In the fourth book, we meet up with Meg Gladstone and Shad Nicholson, who is NOT what he first seems!! This is a great set of books, and if you like Mail Order Brides, you'll love this set!!
I received a complimentary set, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.

very nice
Well just finished reading this set of 4 books by Josie Grace. Each book could be a stand alone,but as a set made it more enjoyable to read. Each character is so enjoyable to hear how they became brides and grooms in these books. They all hard hardships that brought them together. I look forward to the next set as I am sure they will be just as enjoyable to read as this set.

I really enjoyed reading this series of books! There are 4 mail-order bride books in this series that are about women that are needing to find some happiness in their lives. Each one in her own way works out their problem and finds their happily ever after! I recommend this set of books for anyone who likes romance!

Have so much admiration for these bride's.
Giving up everything they knew and valued and travelling across the country to strangers and an unknown future required great strength. Each story is different and enjoyed all. The typos, particularly in book 2 were distracting but stories intriguing enough to continue.

The growth of love in time
I chose a five star rating because these books were that good. I liked them all very much, more and more as I continued to read. I especially liked the last three. I found Shad and Men's relationship especially sweet! Great job and I hope the stories will continue?!

A wonderful collection of historical western romance. The characters are charming, witty, and loveable. There is humor, wit, love romance and strife, but all is well in the end as their faith guide them through all their trials and tribulations. I enjoyed the hours spend reading this box set.

Great clean romances!
Awesome books! It was fun to see the Barra brothers in love after their rocky start in book 1. And I was totally surprised by the hero's identity in last book. I did keep expecting something different to happen in his story, especially with a rich fiance. But it was still good. All the romances were clean & totally entertaining!

The trouble in running
This set of books were so good I did not want to stop and review each one separately and instead waited till the end of the last one as I couldn't wait to finish the series! Each book can be read individually, but the way they are pug together here they run together seamlessly and were very entertaining. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Great Adventures
Four stories of independent quirky women handling difficult situations with bravery, determination, and openness to changing their situations in life. Four men, imperfect humans but gallant heroes, meet their matches with the women. Rough starts, but happily ever afters.

Great stories
This is a book with four stories about men and a mail order bride company. The first story is about a partner that get kidnapped. Tell second story has the same story line. The third story is about a man that needs a lawyer and a wife. The last story is about an undercover police officer that wants a wife.

Wonderful collection of intertwined stories. Three of the tales have brides that have gone missing or are in need of rescuing. The other has a unique twist to the theme. Each story is a standalone and all are thoroughly enjoyable with just enough danger to keep your attention. Thoroughly enjoyable reading.

I loved this part of the series!
I really enjoyed Brooke’s 1-4 of the Rescue series. Although many similarities in the books they were all enjoyable. One of those easy to read book series which kept me flipping pages. Looking forward to the next half, hoping the rest of the characters will have a “starring role” as the main character.

Down to earth stories
Good read. At least these stories dont go on and on page after page of porno! This is one even i would recommend to my Christian sisters. It's interesting, easy to read and just simple pleasant stories of romance.

4 Wonderful different stories of the old west.
Reading about the different stories, and the different backgrounds of each person gives the reader anew look at life during those times. Seeing the reasons behind why mail order brides worked has been amazing.

Great series!!
All four of the mail order bride books were charming. The characters were all quite likeable, which says a lot for the imagination of the author. Give this series a try. I believe you will be happy you did!!

Cozy read mixed with suspense and soft love
I eagerly waited each day for having time to read this book. It is a wonderful read with just enough guessing, suspense, and excitement dispersed among a growing and loving relationship. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this set. The stories are short and full of action with a little burst of suspense.
Although all the stories feature a mail-order bride and a rescue situation, each is different and entertaining on its own.
