Read the story to find out what happens to Phillip, Mack and Helen. A very interesting story.
It is like a Hallmark movie. And I do love them. Just the right false step in the middle to keep us on our toes and waiting for the climax to make everything all right in the end. The right won the right girl.
I would recommend this kind of book to anyone who demands clean reading material. It was added interest when they found the baby.in the avalanche. Audrey Maxwell
A sweet yet very short short story. Helen decides to answer an ad in matrimonial times after the death of her grandmother and the news that her best friend was going to California to be a mail order bride. She arrives only to discover that the man who placed the ad wanted a bride for his friend a widower.
What a difficult time people had in those days! So full of uncertainty and the unknown. Helen sure is stout of heart. She is an amazing woman who deserves the best. A lovely story that despite a few unexpected twists and turns ends up HEA.
Such a pretty cover. This is a short sweet story. I really liked how the author gave Helen some difficult situations as a mail order bride, the strange appearance of the baby. And how at least one of the two men knew what he wanted. I enjoyed this story. Need to check out more of her books.
This is a sweet, enjoyable read! Finding love can have blinders and often in order to realize that special feeling it takes someone to push and shove to remove any obstacles.
This was a good mail order bride story. Sometimes you think you are doing a friend a favor and things just turn out so different. Thank you for quick good read!
A really sweet book to read She lost her grandma and if that’s not bad she is being asked to leave the only home and then to find a baby and two wonderful men
