Book Review: The Bartender's Mail Order Bride (Wild West Frontier Brides Book 3) - Cindy Caldwel
Synopsis:
Nutmeg Archer has had enough of being invisible in a family of six girls—especially since the man she’s pining for doesn’t notice her, either. When she finds out he needs a mail-order bride in a hurry, she hatches a plan to get him to notice her, one way or another. Sam Allen gave up his career ambitions and left New York for Tombstone, Arizona, and a new start. He enjoys his job as a bartender—and is very good at it. But because he knew his mother would not approve, he told a white lie that he never thought would be found out. When his high-society mother unexpectedly decides to make a trip to visit, he needs to make that fib a reality—and fast. Sam is dismayed to discover that he has only one positive response to his ad—and to say that he is surprised by who it is is an understatement. It also presents him with a dilemma—what to do when the only person who will marry him is someone he shouldn’t be marrying?
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.
