Charity is in dire straits and is desperate to get out of her current situation when she finds an advertisement for a mail order bride. That was enough to peak my interest. What would a person do if they were in that situation and Sylvia McDaniel’s story of Charity and Lewis was gripping and heartwarming. As with any good story there were times I was at the edge of my seat wondering where it was going next or what was going to happen to get the characters out of their current situation but I didn’t want the story to end. I absolutely loved Charity and Lewis’s story.
Sweet Historical Christmas Romance
I love how this starts out as a story telling the children in the family how the 5 friends left Charleston and moved to Angel Creek! It’s a unique perspective and it gives us the happy ever after, even before the story gets told!
I like the concept of this series. It starts and ends with five women looking for Christmas miracles and finding love and happy-ever-after.
It’s a perfect Sunday afternoon read for anytime of the year. After the Civil War, so many women were left without their man, family or homes, that the Mail Order Bride idea took root once again. Men out west needed women to be help-mates on farms, in business and in homes. Seeking brides became big business. This is the first book in a series when five women head west to Angel Creek to marry the man they hope will be kind, trustworthy and selfless. This is a really nice story-line and I loved it.
I loved this first story. in this Christmas series. Sylvia McDaniel is a wonderful author who has to have a great adventure all her stories plus great heros and heroines. I loved both of these characters and their banter and how he can’t get over how he had gotten this beautiful, feisty, red headed Irish woman as is wife. She is something else and he knows never, ever cross this woman.
She wonders after all she’s been through as a Southern woman all alone after the war, she was so lucky to get him, the most handsome, hardworking, honest, caring man as her husband.
This is such a great story, you won’t want to miss. This series as I go forth, I know will be wonderful, all the books. Please read this series and this first story even if they are Christmas stories as the premise behind this series is sensational. I don’t think you’ll be sorry at all, in fact these stories, at least this one was very good, funny, inspirational, and had me very happy and in many spots laughing out loud.
3 stars . Needs a good editing but is a good story!
A great book to start off the holiday season! Are you reading it yet?
Highly entertaining, emotionally thrilling and sweetly sexy romantic journey that is filled with secrets that follow them to Angel Creek and a fiery passion that will not be denied no matter the damaging past they each are hiding. This historical mail order bride story kept me reading from beginning to end in one night.
