A Sweet Mail Order Bride for the Distant Rancher
Milton was a young rancher who had placed a and for a mail order bride. After receiving three letters he asked his best friend Matthew to tell him which one he should write too. Matthew picked Jane Bennet and said she is the one for you never looking at the other two letters. This was a very well written book and very intriguing to read and not stop till done. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

A Story of the Cost of Greed.
Jane's stepfather made a deal with a ruthless man, Dorien, that he would get a lucrative job if he made sure Jane married Dorien. When Jane found out about it she ran away and married Milton. When Do rien learned where Jane was he followed. He made a lot of trouble for Jane and her whole family because of his greed and need to always get his own way. This was a great story with strong characters and heart wrenching plots. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed reading this book! Because her father was going to give her in marriage to an old man, she went to New Mexico to be a mail-order bride! Her husband was a rancher and didn't really have time for her. I recommend this book to anyone who likes romance!

Western historical romance
Overall I enjoyed your story. Not so fond of drama and evil. Happy to see the family overcome the nastiness. Still hate that the extended epilogues are not a part of the original book. They add so much to the story.

Good Interesting read!
A young woman running from something not pleasant that would never be her choice. Afraid of what she was running to. But anything would be better than what she ran from!

Extremely frustrating -so many secrets and lies by omission!!! Getting to the end takes a lot of patience.
