Meadow has been working at the bank, but once money goes missing, they blame her for taking the money. To protect her sisters she becomes a mail order bride and moves far away as possible.
Booker has been wanting someone to take care of his girls and since his wife died they have all taken it hard. They wanted a mama so he placed the ad.
While these two were getting close someone shows up to mess everything up for Meadow. Does she run or stay and face the storm?
The characters were well developed, you felt for Meadow and wanted to see her thrive. Booker was great and his girls were all wanting loving. It was nice to see them all work together.
A great story but an even greater author.

Meadow has been framed by the powerful man she rejected, and her family advised her to run. She answers a mail-order-bride ad, and eventually she marries Booker, a banker in the next state. But Meadow doesn’t confide in Booker about the trouble she is in. And each time he catches her in a lie, she makes up another one to cover.

I liked the book. Mail order bride books are interesting to read. I love that they always have a happy ending. Meadow ran away because the banker was accusing her of stealing the money when she knew she did not steal any money and was going to have her arrested if she did not give him his way with her.

The Accidental Outlaw in the series Ladies of The Frontier by Leah Laurens. This is an amusing and entertaining story, with some drama and mystery thrown in. With all the lies and deception Meadow and Booker come to realise they truly love each other. My free opinion ARC. Thanks.

Creeper on the prowl.
Pretty good book. Accused of stealing money. Innocent and time to leave town. A lot of lying and misunderstanding. I liked that the chapters were not long, making it easier to read. I did not like the spelling and grammar errors.

She came in the mail.
I enjoyed reading Mail Order Bride. The story was good but a little slow moving. I also found Mr. Hanson's temper too short. Not a favorite book.

I got tired of reading this book because of the heroine’s repeated convoluted lies that made no sense and got to the point it just seemed stupid.

Courage and independence
Meadow is so courageous and a hard worker. She had a hard life after losing her parents and raising her sisters alone at a early age. Working in a bank with someone she thought she could trust after a few years really turned her life around when she got promoted to head teller. Then the unthinkable happened. Women were at the mercy of men in those days more than now. This story really has a lot going on. One of the best of the series yet.
