I only read Jillian Hart's story because I was doing that thing where I read all of the stories of a series in succession. So there was no time to read the other stories... I don't even know what the other stories are.
In this installment of the series, I didn't like how the mother played her cards in this story. If I'm ever a jolly, loving, and sneaky mother of 3 adult men, living in an isolated town, and I mail-order me a woman for one of those kids, and I know she is running from violence and...more

Three short predictable love stories all about mail order brides. The first is a clean story about the bride arriving and finding out that her fiancée has married someone else, but falls for his brother. Bit of a story thrown in regarding an inheritance and a baddie of a brother in law, which in my opinion, didn't add to the story at all. The second is about a father who has two sons who needs a mother who can cook, clean and provide "home comforts" in the marriage bed! The third is about a woma...more
3 short stories about mail order brides. normally I don't read short stories, there's not enough time to get to know the characters and form relationships with them, but this sounded interesting enough I gave it a try. sadly, it was only "meh" for me. the first story was apparently the last in a series and you had no idea what was going on most of the time. the male main character was a jerk and the female annoying. I did like the second story. it reminded me of Hattie Big Sky (for adults) or a...more
Well, I have finished reading this book completely. I don't know if I will keep it or not. It is really, really, really good and very well written. But the thing is, I don't like reading books that have risque things in it. Nothing that is wrong, mind you; it just shares several marriage bed scenes in it. So, anyways, other than this; these stories are very well written. I really enjoyed reading it, skipping over the bad parts. And I am very familiar to Jillian Hart, as many of her novels are re...more
Three nice stories of mail-order marriages.
Rocky Mountain Wedding by Jillian Hart is very good. Tied to her McKaslin family in a roundabout way.
Married in Missouri by Carolyn Davidson was good but not great. Beta hero which I'm not fond of but a decent story.
My favorite was Her Alaskan Groom by Kate Bridges and I devoured it. Its about a midwife to comes to Alaska as a mail order bride and her new husband who owns a stable.

I really needed some pioneer stories in my life today.
First story - DNF. I normally love Jillian Hart, but the lead guy was such crap, I knew I couldn't like him by the end of the novella.
Second story - felt modern in places, but overall, okay. It was the perfect Western story until the bizarre murder plot came into play, and I half think the epilogue was written as a joke. It was every OBHWF story that Harry Potter fandom loathed so much.
Third story - I love Kate Bridges, but this wasn't her fi...more

Another happy ending for the Brook's family.
Read "Married in Missouri" by Carolyn Davidson on May 27, 2010.
What a great story. Elizabeth answers his ad for a wife and to help with his 2 young sons. And she was the perfect fit for Lucas Harrison's family.
"Her Alaskan Groom" by Kate Bridges is a unique story of expecting one mail-order bride and getting another.

For the type I found myself enjoying the books, they are simple quick reads but I left each story satisfied. This was my first kindle purchase on my nexus 7 so I wanted to see if the app worked before I invested in a higher cost book. All was well and I enjoyed the stories to boot.

This was a very good historical anthology about mail order brides. Dealt with pretty much things that probably happened on a semi-regular basis. The three stories were sweet and I really enjoyed reading them.
Well worth the time.
Well worth the time.
The first two stories were mediocre at best; I was too bored to even start the last one. Writing was very cardboard with uninspiring characters. Too bad because mail order bride themes are my favorite. 2 stars.
I thought this was a pretty good read. It contains 3 novellas. The stories were sweet & fairly short. I read through them pretty quick & who knows I might decide to pick it up again one day & re-read the stories.
Three very sweet, short stories that I enjoyed reading while my three year old son was sick with a fever. I can not imagine what it would be like to be a mail-order bride.
I think the Jillian Hart story was the real stand out.

Three mail-order brides. I have no idea why on Earth I continue to read these short story collections. It's not like I've ever, ever, ever, ever found them to be good. The first story had good bones... and that's the only complimentary thing I can say about it. The second story was pretty bad, until I realized it was about a robot couple. The third story had no redeeming qualities nor alternative explanations. The dialogue in all three was beyond atrocious, although I have to give the robots a p...more
There were three novellas in this book. Each had it's own theme and they were all a breath of fresh air in between vampire love. Although I enjoyed them all immensely, they all felt pretty rushed once the hero and heroine finally admitted their feelings for each other. Sweet stories with a few spicy sex scenes in them. I would recommend if you need something to refreshen your palette in between series books.TTFN.
an easy read - pleasant
I did not care for this book of three stories. I liked the one by Jillian Hart, but the others I did not like at all. Okay, the second one was the worse of the three and the 3rd one was in between the first and 2nd one. So since I liked the first one I give the entire book 3 stars. The 2nd one was way too explicit and so was the 3rd one. If you want a clean story, the first one is the only one worth reading.
Very Good Book. All 3 stories are excellent reads
I absolutely loved the story by Carolyn Davidson titled "Married in Missouri". This was a wonderful story of love. It shows good people brought together by a simple ad, and finding a life full of love and happiness.
I really liked this story and it is one that will stay with me for
a very long time.
