Spinster Mail Order Bride And Her Conflicted Man
What can a spinster mail order bride hope for? Plenty of luck.
An unlucky Vivian Reed ends up in a strange town after the mail order bride agency fumbled with its paperwork.
David Black, the man who shows up to get Vivian, is not her intended husband. David wants to fulfill her ailing mother’s dream of seeing grandchildren filling the house before she passes on. And David’s ‘perfect match’ is supposed to arrive as he has corresponded with a woman who has three children.
Instead, the mail order bride Vivian has no children, is a spinster and totally mismatched by the agency.
Now, David has no choice but to enlist the help of Vivian to fulfill the last wishes of his mother.
But can Vivian and David realize they are actually meant for each other?
Or will they see the whole situation as one big mistake?

Vivian arrived in a small Texas town to meet the man she had been writing to after he’d answered her mail order bride ad. Unfortunately, no one was there to meet her when the stagecoach arrived. He was sent for, but the man who arrived to meet his future wife was not the man she had been writing. The ticket office had sent her to the wrong place!
And things only got more difficult from there, as the next stage coach out wouldn't be leaving for another week, meaning Vivian would need to find a way to afford a hotel room for the week and buy another ticket elsewhere.
David, who had expected a different woman to arrive in another month was less than pleased at the mixup. He had sought a mail order bride to make his very ill mother's possible last days happy, knowing her son would soon be married. He wound up coming to an agreement with Vivian to pretend to be his fiance and make his mother happy until the next stage coach will arrive to take Vivian elsewhere.
Again, as with all her other mail order bride stories, I found this one just as enjoyable as the others. This one has a few extra elements of conflict that arise within the situation than most of Ms Linnington's previous tales, but they only add to the excitement of seeing the two main characters overcome their pasts and try to learn to trust in their own feelings as well as those of another person.
This is another good book for anyone who enjoys mail order bride stories or any of Ms. Linnington's previous books.

This was a very good read about David and Vivian. A mixup of grooms or brides is what happened in this book. David ordered a bride that children already just to make his mother a grandma before she dies. Vivian is bride for another man in another town what a mixup this is. David’s bride is a no show as she changed her mind, Vivian’s groom later changes his mind after he is told about the mixup. Will David and Vivian see eye to eye and tie the knot. Very enjoyable to read.

Spinster Mail Order Bride And Her Conflicted Man By Florence Linnington
Four stars, this book was title correctly, it was filled with conflicts.. Vivian the mail order bride had past baggage, and a hard exterior.. Both her and David were dumped by their future spouses.. David had baggage, but he was willing to give Vivian a try in order to help his mother.. A lot of soul searching drama, which comes to a head.. When answers are found, forgiveness and healing begins.. Good happy ending.

The man who courted her had become mean. Her trip west to her groom through a mail order service had thought another woman would come to be is bride. Does anything work out for her?
