Turns out, he doesn’t just need a wife. He needs Ella. But she has a secret, and it might destroy their marriage almost before it’s begun.

Woman becomes a mail order bride so she can blow away her new husband or at least make him hurt real bad.
Realistic representation of the old days of the West in Montana.
This story is fictional but it does give you an idea how women had to be very creative when life has handed them big bumps in the road. Women did what they had to in order to live.
“Mail-order Bride Carries A Gun” is an
exciting adventurous romantic novel.
This novel is a study in trust, family
relationships and sacrifice for others.
The characters are well developed and
become people you’d like to really know! Their dialogue is quick and the
plot keeps a reader up all night. Ty &
Ella & the younger boys that stay, plus
the older ones that leave to start
families of their own are all so unique.
Self-sacrificing Boone, his lost pet and
his soon-to-be family are all hopefully
resolved of most of their problems in
a future book. A great book you can’t
afford to miss!!

Very well written and interesting characters that worked well with the plot.
Very interesting book. I could not put it down. Though it was not going to work out the way I thought several times.
Good clean reading. I can see the author building stories for each of this band of brothers since there are a few loose ends to tie up. Nice way to spend a few hours escaping.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a sweet story about 2 people with difficult pasts and how they found their way together.
Nice start to a new series! Great reminder of the power of forgiveness!
I really liked it. Fun to read and not all that predictable.
Good light reading
Action packed and a bit unpredictable.
Loved this book
Nope
This book left me eager to read the next in the series, unfortunately, the others are not available for my Nook. In that case, I’m glad I got it free from BookBub. I wouldn’t have been happy if I spent money on the first one, then found out I couldn’t get the others.
I enjoyed very much because of the hope that is demonstrated. I wanted to keep on reading. I recommend highly.
