Mail Order Bride: Free At Last In California -- Sick of the taunts from the inhabitants of her small town, above average weight Jocelyn had endured numerous insults since she was a small child. An ad for mail order brides spurred her to act and she wrote to the company and was matched up with a rancher in California who wanted a wife with a sense of adventure. She told him that she had that same sense and was looking for a new life, but she also omitted to tell him anything else about herself. Pulling into the train station, she almost dreaded what would happen after she met him. This is a story full of love and about what's truly important in life.
Nice stories but rushed at the end of both. It's as if they were allowed so many words per story, then all of a sudden they realized they were close, then closed the stories kind of abruptly.
Horrible. The relationship just developed too quickly. I don't even remember the man Jocelyn was going to marry's name and I just finished the book. It could have been a cute little chick lit book, but it was poorly rushed.
I'm a little disappointed, this plot could have (and should have) sustained a longer story. We could have had a real feel for the dynamic between the characters, which was sorely lacking.
