Book Review: The Wrangler's Mail Order Bride (Wild West Frontier Brides Book 2) - Cindy Caldwell
Synopsis:
Every family has things they can’t talk about. Or won’t. For Clara Martin, the prospect of moving to New York from snowy Chicago is her only option after losing her bakery job. Resigned to her fate, she prepares to go…until a chance encounter with endangered horses reminds her of a letter she received from her friend, Sadie, asking her to come to Tombstone, Arizona Territory, to marry a horse wrangler, sight unseen. For Hank Archer, the only son of gentleman rancher Beau Archer, riding the trail has taken its toll. He wants more than anything to stay put on the ranch and when his grandfather leaves him property nearby, he hopes it will be a way to start a new life. The only problem is that to inherit the property, he has to be married. When Hank’s plans begin to crumble, he finds out that his new bride knows more about horses than he realized. And about people. Can she bring them all together and help Hank realize his dream?
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this sweet, clean mail-order bride story. The premise was unique and the writing was solid. The characters in the story are each unique and each come with their own problems and quirks. I like how this sets it apart from the majority of other mail-order bride books. Even though the couples meet and fall in love quickly the way that the story leads up to the ending you can feel a connection between them and the appearance is that it was longer.
The book did not feel rushed at all and when done reading you feel like you read longer than you actually did. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and immediately went searching for the next book that came after it. If you like mail-order bride novels or short (less than a 3 hour read), then this is good author to pick up and read.
