Frontier Love #1
Devoted
Clean Christian Mail Order Bride Western Romance...
It's 1867 and sparks are flying in the small frontier town of Firestone, Montana.
The exciting new 'Frontier Love' trilogy follows the struggles of Mail Order Bride, Ginny Douglas, and pioneer cowboy, Manly Forsythe, as they overcome every challenge to finally find a love that will last forever.
Virginia “Ginny” Douglas arrives off the mail coach to meet the man who will be her husband.
Manly Forsythe appears with his wagon to take her first to the church and then to his mountain homestead. Ginny has her own ideas for her future though. She won't go anywhere with him, let alone marry him, until she's seen her new home for herself. She books a room for herself, with her own money, in the local hotel, until he can take her to see the homestead. Only then will she agree to marry him. Manly must spend the night in the livery stable.
Things do not go as planned, however, and on their way to view the homestead, Ginny and Manly find themselves thrown into danger and uncertainty. They must trust and rely on each other, and in God, beyond anything they ever thought possible before they can live happily ever after as man and wife.
This beautiful tale of strength, love and faith against all odds will have you on the edge of your saddle!
While this book is part of a series, it can be read as an enjoyable and satisfying standalone.
The Frontier Love Trilogy consists of:
Book 1 – Mail Order Bride: DEVOTED
Book 2 – Mail Order Bride: DESIRE (coming soon)
Book 3: Mail Order Bride: DELIGHT (coming soon)

This is the 34th book I read by Terri Grace. This book's storyline was okay. Manly's character was okay. Manly & Ginny's arguing got on my nerves. I liked Ginny's character. I liked Ginny's bravery in this story. The ending could've been better. This story felt incomplete.

Very descriptive.
I enjoyed reading how everything was described to the point you could visualize the flowers, trees, grasses, mountains and water. I liked how capable Ginny proved to be and her attitude.
A very enjoyable quick read.

An okay read. This is part of three installments about one mail order bride, it’s filled with unbelievable events that take place in a very short time, and ends with a promise of more.

A strong woman for a strong man
Perfectly written to put strength of character to the test. God’s plans are best especially when they don’t make sense v

A LEAP OF FAITH
I love mail-order bride stories and this one did not disappoint. I found the hero, Manly Forsythe as a mountain man who apparently forgot the gentler nature of ladies and living in a civilized area. Virginia “Ginny” Douglas is no wilting flower and proves she can hold her own. The plot has humor and a few edgy moments that keep the pages turning. I found the dialog heartwarming and faith-based without being preachy. The story ends before they marry and will go into the next book.

This is a wonderful set of stories. Written like a serial, each book follows the one before it. Strong and adventurous. Loved all the descriptions of the area. Felt as though I was there myself. Great interaction between characters with a very strong female lead. Great telling of how making it in the wilderness happens as well as what can happen to you. Loved this set very much and highly recommend it. I was given a copy by the author in exchange for an honest review.

This book is the first book of the series. Ginny comes to Manly as a mail order bride and finds that she needs to stand up to him to get him in order:). She demands to see his homestead before marrying him and that's where the first excitement starts! These books are quick reads so I recommend getting the set as they're great read in one sitting!
