I loved when he was at the ball with Chloe and they went through the backway. He was such an adventurous person that I mean how could you not fall in love with him.
The one weird thing was they didn’t really talk about the age gap between Trey and Chloe. Trey is older than Parker and Parker was 35 in the original book meaning Trey is older than 35 and the youngest he could be is 37 since that is two years older and most siblings work that way unless he is Irish twins with Parker. Chloe said she had Sophie at 16 and Sophie is 6 and a half then factor in 9 months to carry her and Chloe should be about 23 or 24.
So Trey is 37 and Chloe is 24 at most meaning they are 13 years apart. I mean I could be wrong but….
Personally, I feel like most of the book was about Sophie in the hospital which is honestly pretty hard to see such a sweet little girl so sick but it was nice to see Trey take care of her.
Content: One bad word repeated twice. So I would put it in moderate language.

If you have ever dreamed of being a part of a large family (4 boys and one girl), traveling extensively (in helicopters and private planes), being able to make a huge, life changing sacrifice for your relative, or having money to spend on something frivolous or giving to help others, you are going to get such a kick out of this book. Farrah Lee has created a large family who has made their fortunes through hard work in medicine, architecture, and hotels and are completely dedicated to helping others. They are funny, fun-loving, and outrageous in some of their antics – picture an adult Easter Egg Hunt where participants army-crawl under bushes and sneak around to win bragging rights for the year.
When Trey Hawthorne told his mom, Victoria, that he was ready to settle down and marry, he also told her he wanted her to find his bride, like she had for two of his brothers. His lifestyle left a lot to be desired and he was ready to commit. But first, he had to wear a rabbit suit for his mother and the little girl who was visiting. Into this picture walks Chloe and her daughter, Sophie, who recently arrived from Australia. Trey is totally gob-smocked, unable to speak when he directs his large glass eyes their direction. Are you getting the picture?
Farrah’s ability to write enables you to fully picture this family and their antics. She creates lovable characters to admire and root for and who keep you reading into the night.
The author gave me this book and I am willingly writing this review because I hope others will enjoy this clean, fun-filled story. Great work, Farrah Lee!

I love it! The beginning of the book is so funny. Trey going to his mom to ask for his own wife. I just love it. I was excited to see that Chloe and Sophie were in this book and that the author connects her books together. It just shows me that she put a lot of thought and effort into this book series. I really enjoyed the character of Trey and Chloe and I really like the Easter Bunny costume and the creepy eyes. Once again I could not stop reading the book, and I am excited to get started on the next book in the series. I would definitely recommend this book!

Victoria Hawthorne is at it again! Now her oldest son Trey wants her to find him a mail order bride. He is a successful pediatrician (from a rich privileged influential family)and is tired of the same women wanting him for their social status. He has done the socialite and models scene for far too long all he wants is to settle down and have a family like his brother Parker. Mia who is married to Parker sister Chloe has come to visit from Australia with her sweet six year old daughter Sophie who is recovering from heart surgery. There is an instant connection between Trey and Chloe which confuses him because he has already told his mother to get him a mail order bride. They both have feelings for each other but neither one willing to admit because she is returning to Australia. As Victoria begins bringing more folders for him to look at for potential brides he begins to have second thoughts but is encouraged to continue. When all else fails Victoria has a way to make things go just the way she needs them to.
I fell in love with the sweet rambunctious Sophie and how we got to see the characters from the previous books. I must say I would of loved an epilogue since it ended kind of abruptly.
If you are looking for an sweet,funny,innocent romance this book is for you.
I received an ARC from the author for my honest review.

Chloe is visiting her sister Mia from Mail Order Mistletoe over Easter and Mother’s Day when her daughter who had a heart valve replacement in that book ends up in the hospital. Six year old Sophie was adorable with her enthusiasm and imagination even when she wasn’t feeling well. Trey feels an instant attraction to Chloe, but he asked him mom to get him a mail-order bride and Chloe is going back to Australia in a few weeks. Trey was wonderful as pediatrician with a sweet and funny bedside manner, so caring about his patients and their parents. I was frustrated that Chloe was determined to leave her sister and go back to Australia with no job and without talking about her problems. There is a lot of back and forth dialogue among the characters which can be hard to follow at times. The Aussie slang was also hard to keep up with, but the glossary in the back helped. The Hawthornes have some silly Easter rituals with decorating eggs with strange things and adults running around the yard tricking each other to find the most eggs.

I was so anxious for this installment in the Hawthorne Series. Mail order Surprise by Farrah Lee did not disappoint either. In this installment Chloe, with her daughter Sophie, comes to visit her sister, Mia who married into the Hawthorne clan as a mail order bride. The family is happy to have a little kid around and the matriarch of the family gets to play grandma while she searches for her son Trey’s new bride.
During the visit from Australia to Manhattan both Sophie and Chloe fall ill and Dr. Trey Hawthorne comes to the rescue. While ill Chloe’s past catches up to her and Trey bends over backwards to help her and her daughter stay in the USA. BUT Chloe can not see Trey marry his new mail order bride.
Who is the newest Bride to marry into the Billionaire linage?
If you hate a lot of dialogue then Farrah Lee’s novels are not for you. But if you love genuine interactions among family members, relationships that grown through stolen moments alone, then you will love this series. Such a treat to read.
AND yes there is always a lot of Aussie slang but once again there is a glossary of terms in the back of the novel and a preview of the next novel in the series.

I enjoyed the overall story of Trey and Chloe and it was nice to see other how characters from the series were. This is a standalone but shares characters from the series.
Trey and Chloe had an attraction from the beginning but neither was willing to act on it.
Both characters were likeable and I loved the banter between family members.
I did struggle with the relationship between Chloe and Trey as I didn’t really feel the love building between them despiteall the time they spent together.
I really struggled with the timeline, there was nothing to mark the days or how much time had passed, sometimes time jumped from one paragraph to another.
I also felt that the ending was really rushed, a huge amount of info was revealed and then it just seemed to end without explaining how it was sorted out.
I would have liked some kind of epilogue as the story just seemed to stop.
