I finished Bill and Jill's story. I'm now into the second book about Mary Marsh, Jesse and the Pastor. I'm glad Mary is staying with Bill, Jill and the kids. I just finished book 2 about Mary and John. So much sadness, but so heartwarming.
I just finished Book 3 about Daphne and Parker. Without Jill and the kids this one is different. I'm loving these families and their lives. They do have problems and sad events, as life has. Everyone is so heartwarming though. I'm not crazy about the store owners spreading gossip. Everyone has to be careful around them because they like to gossip. Though they are friendly.
I'm at 93 % of David and Eloise story. Wow, his care and compassion for her is just too much. Eloise had a terrible traumatic experience. I cannot imagine any man being so caring. It's nice to read, but I had to comment as the understanding that he is showing her is beyond anything I've ever seen or known.

The dates don’t add up
I put a lot of stock on research. At the beginning of the book the author wrote these books spanned 1882-1885. However, she has a character reading boxes of cereal which didn’t come until 1906. Also, the water closet wasn’t installed in homes until 1890. Showers were not capable of using hot water until 1889-1907. Prior to that a shower was a bucket of cold water that was dumped on the person by pulling a cord.
There’s also a lot of talk about Daisy Creek having lost a major portion of the population and had a lot of vacant storefronts due to the California gold rush, which was 1848-1855. It doesn’t seem realistic that in the 30 or so years that the town was still half empty.
Another problem I had was the language. It didn’t match the time. It was more modern which threw the story off.

Sweet Historical Romance
Book 1
Scarred Mail Order Bride for the Widower
Jan 31, 2021
I was enjoying the story for the most part, until he takes his intended to the bar for dancing. I thought I was reading an historical book, but this entire scene was reminiscent of a contemporary story.
The narrator had very little changes in her character voices, tempos, accents, etc. I could distinguish between male and female but everyone really sounded to similar. The entire book maintained the same kadence! It was too easy to fall asleep to, and I couldn't listen straight through for this reason alone.
There was also too much droning on with details. It was a bit frustrating. But I loved the story line. The concept was beautiful and I had very high hopes for this story!
**edited Jun 29, 2021** after reading book 12 in Bear Creek, I understand how the author meant this saloon. It's definitely different from any other saloon I've ever read about, but this is a family place that offers dancing and food for families and limits alcohol so no one gets drunk and rowdy.
Book 2
Unexpected Mail Order Bride for the Pastor
Jul 5, 2021
Definitely some sappy and predictable scenes, but others are unique and thoughtful! I love their beekeeping dates and their relationship with many of the Lakota tribe. Maybe I'm getting used to the narrator, but besides being a bit too slow in her rhythm, it was good.
Book 3
The Hopeful Mail Order Bride's Destiny
Jul 6, 2021
This book is definitely a new favorite for me! Parker is a true hero! He's compassionate, and considerate, yet willing to uphold righteousness even at the pain it will cause his family! Daphne's voice seemed to change about half way through. Turning to a Southern Bell with a haughty sound. Not my favorite voice.
Book 4
Enticing Mail Order Bride for the Banker
July 7, 2021
This was an interesting book. I know he's a banker and she's from a prosperous family, but I'm glad more focus was on their character than their money. I feel like there should have been resolution with his father though.
I've definitely grown more comfortable with the narration and can't think of anything that needed improvement in this book.

Daisy Creek Brides: Books 1-4: from Amelia Rose is a well-written clean romance. It is set in the wild west in a small town called Daisy Creek. It is a great place near the camp of the Ota Indians. Unfortunately, there are no marriageable women for all single men in the region, so the men put an advertisement for a mail order bride. The series is about how brave women travel west to get married and all the adventures they experience and obstacles they encounter. A very nice series to read. With nice characters that you really get to know. The stories will keep you captivated until the very end. Another great series by Amelia Rose.

A nice introduction to the genre
I was pleased to get the books as a set and be able to read one after the other. It seemed the writing improved as the books progressed, although I did wonder at the accuracy of the era. Some settings felt more of a wish than fact - the relationship with the local indigenous tribe and attitudes of the day seemed more tolerant than usually depicted.
The action and plot did keep my interest.

December 11, 2022Absolutely Amazing Read
I truly enjoyed you book! Everything about the west seems accurate except for the water closets. You have the man bathing in a metal brass tub and the woman in a shower. I truly do not think they had showers in the west with stagecoach! Maybe after the railroads or shortly after.
This book kept my interest and I was very pleased with the ending.

I only read through the first story and couldn’t go any further. The book started out well. The character development was good and then something happened. It was is if mid-book, the author changed and was just in a hurry to complete it. Several pieces of information were repeated and the characters began to lack depth. Jill and Bill became flat and lost their personalities. I just didn’t see that reading book 2 was worth my time.

Daisy Creek lends itself to many adventures
Nebraska was still a part of the western front with small towns and not a lot of people. Daisy Creek had suffered a loss of people that travelled to California in search of gold. Those folk that remained were trying to grow the town by getting mail order brides for some of the single men.

Loved the books
I truly enjoyed reading the books. However after reading the first three I had considered stopping. I felt the books were too similar in the start and should have been a little more different than they were. I was pleased that the following books started differently and I continued reading

Changing Man
This has been a wonderful set of books.
I really dreaded having Book Four end! It has been a page turner for sure! A man who never wanted to marry, or even be friendly with people in town. Guess what happens to him! I laughed while reading, and cried. This is an amazing story.

Great story though ended abruptly.
I love the history of the Mail Order brides. How they moved west only via the written word of the men who advertised. The diversity of each connection and the love that grows. I had hoped David would change with the love of Eloise.

Could not put it down!! I was hooked from the beginning.
This book was so delightful I recommend this book for teens and older. It's a series of stories about mail -order brides that all went to the same town out west. Bonniejo

Different
Each story in this box set is very different from the others. Yes, it is the same town, same community, but each story is unique. That is what I enjoyed the most, apart from the Lakota Indians. Really like how they are an important part of the stories.

I enjoyed each story. The characters were well fleshed out. There were some sad parts, the death of a brother, a kidnapping, and other incidents that could be expected in the wild west.
The romances were pleasant.
