Another great one in the series. Molly and Tobin have their hands full! Impromptu marriage, adopting 2 small, apparently deaf young boys (or maybe hellions is a better description). Many twists and turns in this story. Really held my interest. Can’t wait for the next one.
I received a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary, honest review.
WILL THE KIDS’ CHAOS CAUSE THEM PROBLEMS?
The story is the sixth in a new series and is a spin-off from the Grooms with Honor and Brides with Grit Series. When six of the elderly ladies, better known as the Peashooter Society, get together, it is to come up with a plan. Now it involves getting the six prospected new grooms to meet the six potential new brides. The story is the match between Molly Breener and Tobin Billings.
The beginning starts with the surprise wedding and reception for the town where the Brenner girls married suddenly and even adopted children. The story will mostly focus on the new Billings family and their adjustments. Married in haste, but will they find love in the end?
The plot will have Molly Breener accepting a hasty proposal of marriage from Tobin Billings at the train depot to be able to adopt twin red-head boys who can’t speak. While these two have slowly been becoming acquainted, the marriage is rushed for the sake of two boys who they are told are Tim and Tommy. Not only does Tobin want them, so does Molly.
The story is full of twists and turns as they, along with other family members try to help the twins acclimate to their new home which will include Lucas, the man who Tobin bought the livery and home and a hodgepodge of animals. With both Molly and Tobin being adopted themselves, they have a unique compassion for the boys and Molly will have some clues as to how to help everyone tell the twins apart. A trip to the barber to see Peter Gehring will come with some shocking surprises. Rather than things calming down, new questions arise.
There are secrets that Tobin has kept that cause a rift with Molly, but he will be granted forgiveness. Together, they make a new life for two boys and are willing to fight to keep them when trouble comes their way. Watching Tim and Tommy together, their closer interaction, and as new experiences develop how everyone handles it is enduring.
“You just have to expect it to take time to learn each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and quirks.”
There is one more story in this series, Nadine Trades her Partner. It will be about Nadine Paulson and Wesley Preston.
Sweet Historical Romance
So many secrets hide in the twins’ past! They start to unfold bit by bit, till trouble comes to town! Can Tobin protect his family and keep them all happy? I loved this crazy story and the happy ever after!
Sweet, cute, quick read.
this was such a good read – and to start out married with children and then learn who/what your husband is about – what a great story of love and understanding. They finally make their way to an HEA!! I read and ARC and freely leave my review
Linda Hubalek brings us a wonderful addition to this series. I know the Peashooter Society had no idea how their meddling would end up but it worked out perfectly for Tobin and Molly. Rushed into marriage to save the orphans, Tommy and Tim, there couldn’t have been better parents for them. It is fun to watch Tobin and Molly figure out that they care for each other, not just the boys.
What wonderful book. It is a story full of action, intrigue, humor, mystery and a HEA. You will meet some old friends from the Peashooter Society, as well as some new ones. Your heart will go out to the two little red headed deaf orphans, as they try everyone’s patience. This is an excellent story and I highly recommend it. Don’t miss it..I know you will enjoy it.
Tobin Billings is one of the 6 young men that came to town together, brought by a letter written by the Pea Shooter Society. He and his six friends were on an orphan train as youngsters and all were adopted by families in the same community. They joined the Army together and served together as well. Once out they found the letter after a train robbery and decided to travel to Clear Creek, Kansas and pursue the Pea Shooters Plan.
They are paired with 6 young women in the community, but none of them are truly attracted to the person they are paired with.
Enter the Orphan Train. Two young boys with bright red hair exactly like Tobin’s escape and need to be tracked down. They cannot hear, and Tobin’s heart goes out to them. He was raised the adopted son of Deaf Parents. Right then and there he asks Molly to marry him so they can adopt the twins. They are in for quite a ride. Secrets abound and will come to light, but you must wait for them!
This story is full of action, fun and some mystery and drama as well. Linda Hubalek’s talent at blending personalities truly makes a story fantastic! Her plot weaving keeps you reading to find out where it goes.
I received an ARC of this story and am choosing to leave an honest review.
