The Rancher's Bride

by Barbara McMahon

Wyoming rancher seeks wife...

Brianna Dawson needs to change her life. And for a Madison Avenue ad exec, life doesn't get more different than a cattle ranch in Wyoming. Which is why she gets into her car and drives for a week to accept the proposal of Jake Marshall, a cowboy she met only once — and that was a long time ago.

What Brianna doesn't know is that this marriage of convenience comes with a serious stipulation — a child by the end of the year.

Personas que no están acostumbrados a compartir, que son duros e independientes pero que tienen todos los deseos de ser una familia, aunque con miedo ... Bonita y fácil de leer, los personajes principales son simples pero los secundarios no tanto.

this was my first mills and boon, and I've got to say I did enjoy it, but the story was so slow. could that be because it was written from another time? possibly. could it be because it was closed door? also possibly. overall, I still enjoyed this!

Traducción mala que te hace desistir de su lectura.

This is a great read about love and marriage. You get a two-for-one deal too since there are really two love stories - Brianna and Jake as well as Shell and Loni. The characters were all very strong and interact well with each other. The range of personalities and dynamics really show you so many different sides of the story and the family that you really get drawn in. The author does a good job of convincingly bringing a situation usually used in historical books - "mail-order bride" - into a contemporary setting. Although a little steamier than many books I review (with a lot of bedroom scenes not described), this one is still a good clean read.

A woman from NYC leaves her hectic life to slow down on a ranch in Wyoming. She goes to meet up with a man she remembered from her teenage years working on a ranch during the summer months. He needs a wife and a baby by the end of the year in order to keep the ranch, according to the will of his grandmother.

For an arranged marriage, they fall in love and she helps make a family and traditions for the little group on the ranch.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was clean and an easy read and just a good story.

Cute, it's sort of like a modern day mail order bride which btw is hard to swallow. Though, I can imagine it if that makes any sense at all. I really liked where these two were coming from and that made for more enjoyment.

A solid entry 3.25, quick and easy.

It was great. At first he just wants her for a child, but ends up loving her along with a new grandchild, future daughter-in-law and a baby on the way. AMAZING!!!

Should a marriage of convenience be based on the desire for a child?

LA NOVIA DEL RANCHERO
Ella necesitaba cambiar de vida... y lo hizo gracias a él
Brianna Dawson, ejecutiva de Madison Avenue, iba camino de un rancho de Wyoming. Se disponía a pasar una semana en la carretera para aceptar la proposición de Jake Marshall, un hombre al que había visto sólo una vez... y hacía ya mucho tiempo.
Lo que Brianna no sabía era que el contrato de aquel matrimonio de conveniencia incluía una cláusula muy importante: debían tener un hijo antes de que acabara el año...
