To Love a Stranger is generally a nice book to read. The characters were likeable, the plot was interesting, and the writing was drawing...however the novel was a times unbelievable. For example, Bessie's younger sister Lenore decided to correspond as a mail order bride under her sister's name. By doing this, Lenore ended up marrying Jackson under Bessie's name. However, what was borderline unbelievable was the fact that Bessie went along with all of it and, without an argument or a ...more

I truly enjoyed reading this book. I've read a couple of Colleen Coble's books and, while I am not generally a fan of inspirational fiction, I find that I enjoy her stories. She's a great storyteller and I feel she inserts faith into the novel at appropriate times. Her book reminded me of a Hallmark movie (I love those movies).

She weaves the plot to define her characters in a way that I like. I'm not sure how she accomplishes it, but the plot and the characters grow seemingly at the same time. I ...more

Thirdly, I really enjoy a good marriage-of-convenience or mail-order bride story & To Love a Stranger is a marriage-by-proxy story; one I've never heard of. I can see where it may have been more common in this time period, especially when women far out-numbered men.

Ah yes, sisters! Growing up with one can be one of the greatest joys & sometimes even the greatest sibling rivalry around. Lenore is the younger sister of Bessie Randall, our herione in this book. She hatches a plan to correspond with Jasper Mendenhall, a military man, in Bessie's name. As if that weren't bad enough, she signed a marriage certificate and agreed to join him out west....all without Bessie's knowledge! But of course she finds out and feels obligated to go through with it, if only to straighten the mistake out. Finally upon meeting Jasper, decides maybe this was what God had planned all along for her. Can these two form a real marriage, or will Lenore's deceit be too much for them to overcome?

I really like the adventure Coble took me on; from that first meet to final chapter, she kept me turning pages because I had to find out what happened next. Being a hopeless romantic, I loved watching Bessie & Jasper fall in love and face each obstacle that came their way head-on. The faith theme was refreshing, God was very much in the center to help guide them. I also loved that Coble referenced 1 Corinthians 13—the love chapter—because that is the scripture God gave my husband & I when we were first married. It's the perfect model for how marriage should be between two people! It was a real pleasure watching these two want to reflect that scripture in their own relationship.

This was a very enjoyable story that I would recommend to inspirational historical readers who are hopeless romantics like myself!

Bessie is married by to a man she has never seen before. And without her knowing she is even married - as this setup is the doing of her irresponsible younger sister! Yet, she is willing to give this marriage a chance, as she longs for her own family.

This is going to be very frank and blunt review.

This is one of the earliest works of the author and it shows. To be embarrassingly honest here - the premise is highly immature and it highlight some very troubling settings and behaviour. Like young Bessie is married by to a man she has never seen before. And without her knowing she is even married - as this setup is the doing of her irresponsible younger sister! Yet, she is willing to give this marriage a chance, as she longs for her own family.

This is going to be very frank and blunt review.

This is one of the earliest works of the author and it shows. To be embarrassingly honest here - the premise is highly immature and it highlight some very troubling settings and behaviour. Like young girl having a huge inferiority complex (because she is constantly compared to her more beautiful sister), so she believes that being "spinster" is her fate and that her only chance for a family is to proceed with a false marriage - instead of confronting her younger sister with her immature lies in leading the unsuspecting man just for a foolish fun (said younger sister never has to face any consequences and is never ashamed of putting her own sister down because of being older than her and less beautiful). What about building Bessie's character to let her see that she is loved by God the way she is, single or married? What about confronting Bessie's cold family in showing them the same? And what about Jasper willing to stay in a marriage just for the sake of not offending Bessie in sending her packing? This simply de-values any honesty and sanctity of the marriage. What if this marriage simply would not work??? Sure, Jasper is written a a blandly, one-dimensional ideal Christian man without any faults, but the life simply does not work like that ands promoting this naivete, Christian or not, is wrong. I suppose that the authoress based this work on the Biblical story of Leah/Rachel - but the Bible shows the wrongs in this setup, also!

But I am happy to say that the authoress nowadays writes much more complex and interesting novels, where she addresses the issues maturely and wisely. I like her current works. I guess everyone has to start somewhere and move upward from that point. ...more

It is easily read as a stand alone novel.

This story is about Bessie Randall. Unknown to her, her younger sister Lenore has been corresponding with an army man, felt smitten with him, and when he asked her to marry him by proxy (mail) she agreed. Unfortunately, all that was done with Lenore using her sister's name. Bessie only finds out by accident about the romance and that as all the legal documents were in her name that her sister forged, she is married to a man she has never even spoken to. Lenore is selfish, and has actually fallen for another man, this one in person, and she pretty much expects Bessie to take her place with Jasper Mendenhall. Bessie knows her sister has really wronged both herself and Jasper, and she is in two minds about what she should do. She has always been known as the plain sister, with not so much as one marriage proposal in her 26 years, so this situation could at least see her married and maybe in time with children. But on the other hand, she is not the sister this man fell in love with. She decides to read the letters that he had sent Lenore and before she even got half way through she realised that she had to go to him and explain the situation while at the same time offering to stay as his wife.

Jasper isn't at all pleased when he finds out what has happened, and he certainly isn't at all keen on the plain woman that Bessie is, when he was expecting the stunning black haired beauty that is her sister. He isn't even sure if he believes that Bessie wasn't involved in the duping, trying to trap herself a husband. It's not the greatest way to start a relationship, but they both decide that during a trip to his new posting they could think further about if they wanted to try to make their marriage work, or just get it annulled.

This was a beautiful, sweet love story that was a pleasure to read. It was only about 2 hours long, so although the content was deep and emotional in some places, it really was a nice light read. There were plenty of light hearted moments in the book too which had me laughing out loud. I started out angry at Lenore for her deception, but as things get better and better between Bessie and Jasper, I was actually happy that her selfishness paid off for the couple. As for Bessie, she's a beautiful character, and watching her confidence grow throughout the book was a real delight. As for Jasper, his biggest problem was trust, and his pride. Every time he seemed to let his guard down, he would remember being duped, and the doubts would start up again about Bessie's part in it, and the walls would come up again.

During the long journey many trials and tribulations are faced including an attack by Indians. Bessie holds her own and shows all the men of the army, including Jasper that she isn't just a little woman who won't be able to cope with the strains of living out west. During the trip the relationship seems to take one step forward and two steps back, with neither of them really being honest about their feelings. Will they decide to stay married? Will a relationship between them ever work when it started out based on lies? It doesn't help that Bessie believes that Jasper is still longing for her sister. Will she be able to settle in a marriage where she knows there is no chance of a total commitment from the heart from her husband? You will have to read the book to find out?

I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ...more

I thought Coble struck a good balance of humorous moments and serious events, and the unfolding romance between Jasper and Bessie was crafted well; subtle and sweet.

Her sister is deceptive, but Bessie must really love her because she not only forgives her but goes through with the charade. I liked that Bessie put her all into making herself the best wife she could and how everyone seemed to love her.

She believes herself to not be fair in looks, no real prize, so she takes a chance to see what God has in store for her and travels to Ft Bridger, WY to meet her husband, Jasper. And immediately the adventure begins when he is called to a post in Arizona.

At times this does get a bit preachy, but I like the emphasis on loving in the way God wants a couple to. Sometimes it felt like Bessie had to put up with more than was fair, but she was already in love so it's more a testament to her loving strongly than anything. Kinda wanted Jasper to go chase after her in Boston though, wish he'd had a chance before she came back. ...more

"To Love a Stranger" by Colleen Coble is a historical western romance set in 1868. It's the story of Bessie Randall, a mail order bride from Boston, and Jasper Mendenhall, a soldier who is to be stationed in Fort Bowie, Arizona Territory. The initial conflict is that Jasper unwittingly and legally marries Bessie by proxy, thinking that she is actually her sister, Lenore, with whom Jasper had been corresponding for six months. In addition, Bessie doesn't know that she has legally married Jasper, "To Love a Stranger" by Colleen Coble is a historical western romance set in 1868. It's the story of Bessie Randall, a mail order bride from Boston, and Jasper Mendenhall, a soldier who is to be stationed in Fort Bowie, Arizona Territory. The initial conflict is that Jasper unwittingly and legally marries Bessie by proxy, thinking that she is actually her sister, Lenore, with whom Jasper had been corresponding for six months. In addition, Bessie doesn't know that she has legally married Jasper, because Lenore had impersonated her sister by using Bessie's name, even though she had mailed her own picture to Jasper. Lenore no longer wishes to join Jasper because she has met another man whom she has become interested in, and begs Bessie to take her place so that her deception will not be exposed to their parents and to society. Lenore asks her sister to make this sacrifice in order to save Lenore's reputation, which would be in ruins if word gets out about what she has done.

Bessie is the homelier sister. She has always longed for a man to love her and to have a family of her own. Compared to her pretty and vivacious sister who is surrounded by beaus, Bessie has been frequently overlooked by men. Even though she initially balks at participating in the deception, Bessie agrees to go west to join Jasper, partly because of her own desires and dreams. She hopes that he will forgive her, accept her as his wife, and eventually come to love her.

Jasper is pretty angry about the deception when Bessie arrives in Lenore's place. He can't understand why Bessie and Lenore didn't tell him the truth before Bessie travelled out west to meet him. When he discovers that Bessie had also been deceived by Lenore, he still wonders why she didn't write to clear up the mess, and wonders at her motivation in following through with the deception. It is difficult for him to trust her, even though he senses integrity in her character. He is also uncertain that Bessie's frail appearance will make it easy for her to survive on the trail and at Fort Bowie once they arrive there. He plans to consult an attorney to see what their options are after they travel to his new posting. Will Bessie be able to win Jasper's love so that he won't seek a divorce?

The plot seemed to allude to a Leah/Rachel/Jacob triangle. Bessie is the unattractive older sister who finds it hopeless to win the love of her husband because she fears that he loves the younger more attractive sister. She has issues with self acceptance because of her looks, which leave her vulnerable to doubts about whether Jasper could ever come to love her.

Jasper, on the other hand, begins to find that who he thought he wanted might not be the best for him as he gets to know Bessie better with each passing day. However, various circumstances arise which threaten their fledgling marriage.

When I saw "To Love a Stranger" on NetGalley, I snapped it up because it was written by Colleen Coble. I really enjoyed her contemporary novel, "Tidewater Inn," but I didn't recall reading any of her historicals, so I was looking forward to reading this western romance. However, while I was going through "To Love a Stranger," I kept thinking that it didn't seem to match my memories of what I expected a Colleen Coble novel to deliver, and after some digging on the internet, I found out that "To Love a Stranger" is being re-released by Thomas Nelson in 2016. It had originally been published by Heartsong Presents in 2000. Basically, I would say that "To Love a Stranger" is a decent story, but "Tidewater Inn," released in 2012, is an even better written novel. You can tell the difference in Ms. Coble's storytelling over the years when you compare the two. If I had not known that Ms. Coble had written "To Love a Stranger," I would have said that it was a fairly good story. I must confess that my opinion of "To Love a Stranger" is biased because of my previous experience with Ms. Coble's later book.

April 1868
Bessie Randall is age twenty-six from a prestigious family in Boston. She is the older, plainer and quieter sister to Lenore, who is beautiful, and toast of the town at age twenty-one. On a whim, Lorna has decided to correspond with a handsome soldier, from Fort Bridger, Utah Territory, who is interested in marriage. She thought nothing would come of it, but the letters continued over six months. She had used her older sister’s name, knowing her parents would never approve of her writing. When he asked for a marriage by proxy, it sounded exciting, so she just did it. Then she met Richard and changed her mind. She tells her sister, “I know you would like Jasper. And you’d make a much better soldier’s wife than I would”. Bessie feels both betrayed, and bound to a promise made in her name. Fearing her sister may even go to jail, she agrees to follow through on the marriage.
Jasper is smitten with the beautiful photo of Lenore, who he thinks is “his” Bessie, and feels connected to her through their many letters. Knowing she craves adventure, he intends to surprise her with the fact his regiment is being reassigned to the untamed land of Arizona, filled with Indians, and other dangers. When the real Bessie arrives, he feels duped and betrayed. Bessie prays he will accept her and not send her packing. He has little choice when his timetable gets moved up. Either try to deal with the situation along the way, or leave her behind, legally married to him. They decide to wait until they get to Phoenix to figure out the best course. Along the way, Bessie finds an Indian baby, destined to die in the dessert. They immediately help care for the baby, and Jasper discovers there may be more to this tiny waif of a woman than he originally thought. They encounter hardships together, and walk on eggshells with each other, constantly assuming and reevaluating things in their minds, as they muddle through their new relationship. They finally agree to use the Bible as a road map for love, and try to figure out God’s direction for that. FAVORITE QUOTE: "The Lord called me as His own when I was ten years old. I will do my best to raise my daughter in the ways of Jesus as we travel among my people to tell them of His love.” Thomas, Ch. 15
Because this book is only 224 pages, it felt quite rushed to me. I would have liked things to develop at a more realistic pace. It is well written, but also lacked the mystery element this author is usually famous for. It is a nice diversion, and I easily read it in one evening. I also noticed more than one cover. I liked the one featured on NetGalley, but I did not care for the one I saw on Christian Book Discounters, which appears dated.

I recommend this book as a light read, and appreciate receiving an advance eCopy through NetGalley. My opinion is my own.
