Great book. Couldn’t put it down.
I loved the story and the characters and wood love to read the other books in the series so far I have not had any luck finding them for my IPad.
Very enjoyable read, with action and romance
Liked this book very much. Just the thought of so many mail order brides turning up for one groom was funny. Each bride having her own past and reason for becoming a mail order bride should lead to interesting books to follow in this series.
Fast read. Predictable.
Great read!
Predictable romance novel but a good quick read novel that doesn’t require thought.
Clara leaves home to become a mail order bride to a man named Ivan. When she arrives in her new town she quickly learns her prospective husband has died. Not only has he died but he had sent away for 8 other mail order brides. So she is left without a husband, and sharing her prospective husbands home with 8 other mail order brides. They must learn to run a mining operation in order to live while they court men from the area until they marry. Clara begins to fall for the local town sheriff, Sawyer when he rescues her on more than one occasion. Wonderful historical romance with great characters!
I really enjoyed reading this book. On book 4. Great reading.
fun read
It was somewhat unpredictable but had a good ending.
I’ve always enjoyed reading Historical Romances and Janelle Daniels did not disappoint. She became a favorite Author for me instantly. This was an amazing, easy-to-read, historical romance and I look forward to reading all of her work!!!!
Was a different take on the mail order bride books. Was entertaining and enjoyed the story
This was a new twist I didn’t see coming. A good read.
I enjoy the mail order bride series. Their problems are real-life problems, and their solution is always very interesting.
Enjoy American West romances. Love details of the surrounding areas.
Quick and easy read. Enjoyable and keeps your interest.
Good book
What a fun idea for a plot! One man ordering 7 brides…the very nerve of him! hahaha What agency would work with one man to send him 7 girls? He must have been very diligent to write all those agencies and have the timing so coordinated! Whimsical!
Frankly, I had to go back and reread some of the book to remember the story and give a review. It was very entertaining and I enjoyed the romp!
I just finished reading this book. I could hardly wait to find out how it all ended. It was easy to read and held my attention. Loved the characters. Will seek out other books now by this author.
