My absolute favorite read is a mail-order bride story, so when I discovered Love Finds You in Bethlehem, New Hampshire, I was eager to get a copy. I read the back cover blurb and was even more intrigued. The artist who placed the advertisement, Thomas Haskins, takes one look at Sara McGee and realizes he can’t marry the penniless, uneducated and unkempt woman who steps off the train in his posh resort town. Being a man of honor, he befriends Sara, who, under his chaperone sister's tutelage, lear...more

Ms. Bliss has crafted an unforgettable Christmas love story, set in –where else?—Bethlehem. New Hampshire, that is. Set in the snow-capped White Mountains in 1890 with romantic sleigh-rides, breath-taking imagery and powerful emotion, Love finds you in Bethlehem, New Hampshire delivers a sweeping romance that keeps the reader guessing until the last page how two souls as different and yet the same as artist Tom Haskins and Sara McGee, the New York City orphan, will forge a life together.

This story culminates at Christmas. Set in the 1890's, this is a Christian romance story. That means rated G with no sex.
Thomas is 30 years old & a successful painter in the small town of Bethlehem, NH. He leads a productive, but lonely life. He decides, with the encouragment of his mentor, Mr Astor (yes THOSE Astors!)to look for a wife. He meets a couple who tell him that the wife was a mail order bride & they are deeply on love. He decides to try it.

This was my first book from the Love Finds You series (which includes different appropriately named places from each state), and I was not disappointed. Set in the 1800s, the premise is great: Tom places an ad for a bride (hence why the time period is important) in a newspaper. Sara's friend responds to the ad for her because while Sara has a good heart, she is essentially homeless, and has no social training or education. There was plenty of good about this, including the fact that the twists w...more
A Quickie Review
The Love Finds You... series must be a success, or else the publishers wouldn't keep releasing one locale-themed romance after another. Though this one isn't the best of the series, it was still enjoyable, especially for fans of mail-order bride stories such as Sarah, Plain and Tall. If you're new to LFY, though, I would suggest reading the ones by Janice Hanna first, which are the best ones I've read so far.
Score: 3.25/5

This type of book is not what I normally read or care for, so that might be why I didn't like it more. It was a clean love story, which is nice and appreciated. Apparently there is a whole slew of "Love Finds You in....." out there.
I thought this was going to be like the Janette Oke books, but it wasn't. Sadly, you didn't really care for the characters and the story did not flow well.
A Cinerella story of sorts. Easy read, only took me a few hours. Good Book, clean, and capitvating

This was a sweet story, but it wasn't very memorable or outstanding I don't think.
cute story. quick read. enjoyable.

Read like a fairly decent rough draft. The premise was fine, and with some considerable polishing the story could be quite cute.
I enjoyed the book. It was a little slow at times.
