Mail-Order Brides

review 1: Quickly read in one day. Determined Miranda steals her brothers away from that awful orphanage and heads off to become a mail-order bride. Her sister has the letters to the men requesting brides and chosen Jacob Creed because he was the only response to the first class ticket request she demanded. Miranda 18th birthday is forcing her out of the orphanage and she is afraid of what will happen to her brothers and sisters living there. She has the cane marks on her back to prove how they had been beaten. I didn't like the step-father's underhanded trickery and the result of not finishing the business with the cowhand's behavior towards Miranda, and what happened to the ranch because of that. Thank goodness for Jake's mother Cricket's interference. Will read the next book, for... more sure.
review 2: I don't usually read this type of book but the librarians I work with are participating in a weekly readers advisory session and I drew Western Romance out the hat this week. And guess what....I liked it! It was a very quick, fun read. Kind of sexy and yet had a western flare to it. Basically, the whole book tells the story of a young mail order bride and her new husband who only wants someone to cook and clean. So you read through most of the book wondering whether they are really going to "do it" and the author does a good job of building the suspense. I was impressed. I might try another in the series. less
