Jack Sanders built his career as an army intelligence operative on his uncanny ability to anticipate what the enemy will do next–but he never anticipated the trouble he’s landed in. Removed from duty, his future on the line, he’ll have to accept a truly unusual mission to redeem himself. His orders are clear: head to Montana, marry General Reed’s daughter, and secure the family’s ranch once and … and for all from the drug cartel trying to get a toe hold in Chance Creek.
Everyone knows Alice Reed gets hunches about what might happen. What they don’t know is she’s got one blind spot: her own future. But she’s watched four men arrive to marry her four sisters. It doesn’t take a psychic to predict her father plans to send a man for her, as well. But when Jack arrives, Alice knows she’s in trouble. He seems as aware of the future as she is; and he wants something from her she swore she’d never give to a man her father sent–
Her heart.

This is not just one book, but 5 books………..When I find a series I enjoy, I have to gather the entire group of books and start at #1 and read one after the other. This was one of them I finished off in just a couple of days. Good stories, I highly recommend you put some time aside. And enjoy the 5 books.
Great series! Love this book
I love this series.
I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and I enjoy books by this author
So happy there will be another story in this series. Love the characters!
Loved the characters and the continuing story
I read every book in the series. It was a long wait for book 5. The last daughter was an odd ball. I was curious how it would end up. I enjoyed the series. Would recommend.
Great!!!
Jack is going to have it a lot harder than the other guys the General sent. Not that any of them had an easy time winning the hearts of their Brides but Alice is different.
Jack believes there is a logical explanation for everything and nothing is magical or mystical. Alice on the other hand, has visions, not always clear but they come true and there is no explanation.
Jack has also been trying to see the maze and the center stone, sending drones in to observe only to be foiled at every turn. When he tries to enter the maze it closes, and he thinks it’s something Alice is doing with some sort of mechanism. He’s determined to figure it out.
Top all that off with the problem that started in the last book with all the daughter’s off the ranch. The General is injured and coming home. Not an event they are looking forward to.
Alice also has a commitment to make Civil War ballgowns for Landon Clark, a producer, to review and he keeps changing when he’ll arrive, bringing it closer instead of postponing.
Talk about tension, when the General arrives he believes he is in control. His daughters are stubborn and he is going to see a bit of their wrath.
Getting ready for the holidays, a plumbing issue with a new plumber to fix it, a producer filled with his own self importance and Cass’s best friend Wyoming staying with them since she lost her job combine to make this a family drama of epic proportions.
Oh did I mention the cute aide the general has with him? He kind of likes Wyoming but she has her eye on the plumber.
Lots of problems for Jack as he tries to make sense of Alice’s gift, I found myself laughing and cheering on the strong women of Two Oaks. I even cried a few times as the General works his way toward peace with his daughters.
Plus the added surprise in the general’s letter from his wife, giving us yet another book in this series!
Loved it can’t wait to get more in the series
I enjoyed this book and the rest of the series as well!
I really enjoyed this story…I’ve read the whole series and will probably read again! Would like to see something done with the General…that would be a real coup for the daughters….lol!! Recommend this series!!!!!!!!
I think I have read all of Cora Seton books all excellent reads so enjoy !
It hooked me from the start and I couldn’t put it down.
Great read
Couldn’t read it just once,
Sorry it had to end. But does it really?
I enjoy all of Cora Seton’s books. This was no exception. I read the entire series so far and hopefully it won’t end with this book. I highly recommend this book as well as all her others!!
ARC for honest review with no compensation
The continuing saga of the Brides of Chance Creek, Book 5 by Cora Seton and what a way to continue this series as the men keep coming to Two Willows! ! !
This story is about Alice Reed, the final unmarried daughter, Jack Sanders the last soldier left in the task force unit and of course, General August Reed along with the letters from his deceased wife. When the General reads the letters he chooses another man from his unit which he has handpicked to marry each of his daughters and keep them safe from harm and to make Two Willows (the ranch) prosper.
Alice an accomplished designer and seamstress of period clothing also has second sight like her mother, she can see into future that is except her own future. As she has watched her sisters fall in love and marry the men their father has sent to the ranch she knows it now her turn to meet the man she will ultimately marry except he doesn’t believe she has second sight.
Jack Sanders is the last soldier being sent to Two Willows to marry Alice, who he has comes to love from her picture but doesn’t believe she has second sight as people can’t really see the future…he has second sight but in a totally different realm. He’s determined to win her heart and keep the ranch safe from another attack. Little does he know it’s coming from multiple sides….
But as usual something always happens to put everyone in danger…Can Alice and Jack proved to one another that second sight no matter how it looks…it is real and finally put a stop to whoever is determined to destroy Two Willows or will second sight be what destroys the ranch and their HEA??
Lots of sexual tension, visions of the past and future, opening of the minds, hearts and finding love. Once you start this book you won’t be able to put it down until the last word is read…..thought this was the last book in the series…but why should the General stop matchmaking now!!
It’s always a little bittersweet when you find a series that you really enjoy because as much as you want to get to read everyone’s story, you’re also a bit sad because then it means the series is over. Fortunately, it looks as though Cora Seton is far from done with the residents of Chance Creek! This is the story of Alice Reed, the last of the five Reed daughters. Their father, the General, has been sending men to the ranch to marry each of the girls. And just like the other books, it seems as though the General once again has found the perfect match for Alice.
Have to say I really enjoyed the pairing of Alice and Jack. Two characters that at first glance seem like total opposites but actually have more in common than it seems. This is the fifth book in the series and I definitely recommend reading these books in order because so much of the drama in this book is based on previous events. However, you don’t need to have read the other Chance Creek books in order to enjoy this one but you might recognize some familiar faces from town. All in all, a very enjoyable read.
