A socialite turned maid lands in the path of a rancher and his children. Will she wreak havoc or become the glue that holds this family together?
Katie Bryan is happy to be away from Tom’s River, New Jersey but she does miss her wealth. She’s not used to manual labor and she’s not very good at it. However, she’s very thankful to have found a job as a maid so quickly upon arriving in Lubbock, Texas.
Widow Sam Collins is a busy rancher taking care of two boys, one a baby, on his own since his wife was murdered by highway bandits. He’s not impressed by Katie’s skills as a maid, but she is wonderful with his boys. For that alone, he can’t bear to fire her.
Sam’s wife’s family arrives in Lubbock determined to prove that he is unable to care for his boys. They’ll do whatever it takes to lay claim to the children, even use Katie if necessary.
Will Sam’s burgeoning feelings for Katie and her instincts with his children place her in harm’s way? Will this family be ripped apart or will Sam be able to keep his baby for Christmas and find love along the way?
Katie was raised in a wealthy family but has come upon some hard times. Her Father died leaving all his wealth to Katie's stepmother and Katie is destined to support herself as a maid for a rancher. A position she has no training for. But Katie is a survivor, determined to be successful and not have to return home a failure. Will she succeed? Can she convince the handsome rancher to give her one more chance, or will she accept the proposal of the rancher's wealthy brother-in-law? This is another great addition to Indiana Wake's Texas Mail Order Bride's series and another great read.
I received an ARC of this from the author and this is my honest and voluntary review.
I love romance with good characters and a sweet storyline. Katie meets Sam in an employee-employer situation after leaving her childhood home with the death of her father. Sam is a widower with 2 young boys and has hired Katie to work at his ranch as a maid. It isn't easy for her to transform from a privileged young lady to a maid and there are definitely ups and downs. However, this story does evolve into a delightful and touching story with promises of more romance tales to come. I received this book with my KU and this is my voluntary and honest review with my own personal opinions.
This is a sweet love story written by Indiana Wake. Sam has two young sons and he is co-owner in a nice, prosperous ranch. Katie is from a very wealthy family in another town and until her father died and her stepmother try’s to marry her off, she has a charmed life. After being forced to leave her home she is now employed as a maid at the partners ranch. You will enjoy discovering how they find their happily ever after.
I highly recommend this beautiful love story of Katie and Sam. Katie lost all her inheritance when her parents died in New Jersey. She became a maid for Sam in Lubbock, TX who was a widowed rancher with two small children who his Mother-in-law was trying to get custody of. Will Sam triumph over his inlaws? You will have to read the book to find out. I received an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Very hard for a rich privileged girl to have to become a maid
A rich socialite leaves home when father dies and new stepmother tries to marry her off to someone unsuitable. She takes a job in Texas as a maid but hasn't any idea how to do the work and doesn't want to get up in morning. She spends the days complaining and not doing the work. She is given 2 weeks to do better and change her attitude.
Another good read by Belle Fiffer and Indiana Wake. Katie is the maid, a maid that had money at one time. A time when her father was alive. When he died her step mother took it all. Sam is the rancher who’s wife died leaving him with two sons. Sam’s mother in law wants the boys. So his brother in law comes to take the boys from him. Katie and Sam join forces to save the boys. Very nice read and well written. Enjoyable.
It was a great book. The beginning was rough. Then Sam brother in law came along to spice it up. Then Jonathan came to the rescue. Sam propose to Katie Now the children and parents are happy forever. I hope people will please read this book
A Christmas Bride for the Rancher (Texas Mail Order Brides Book 4)
This is the fourth book in this series and it is a good story about love and family and and an in law trying to take possession of all the rancher loves
Another cliff hanger ending. Katie goes to work for Sam on his ranch as a maid, but has no clue how to do the job. Sam's in laws want to take his children away from him.
It was an easy read, and held my attention the whole book . It was enjoyable , and exciting, couldn't put it down. Am looking forward to finding more books by this author.
I really enjoyed this book very much . A CHRISTMAS BRIDE FOR THE RANCHER TEXAS MAIL ORDER BRIDES BOOK 4 BY INDIANA WAKE , BELLE FIFFER . I recommend teens and up .
Another group of chapters marketed as a part of a series of books. I enjoy reading because I understand that I'm reading a book just given to me in parts.
I can imagine how hard it was for Katie to transition from having maids to being one. Socialites did not learn how to clean, cook, do laundry and just work in general. I enjoyed her journey from unhappiness to joy. Another enjoyable book by Indiana Wake and Belle Fiffer
