Born overlooking the Jefferson river in Montana, Cassidy Hanton has always been attracted to the nature of the West. As the only girl of six siblings, her mother used to tell her stories that she later on discovered they came from her favorite romance novels.

With a double major in Philosophy and Creative Writing, Cassidy started writing contemporary romances, only to realize that the American Frontier Era was her favourite. That was back in 2008. Now, she writes overlooking another Montana river and a beautiful ranch that she shares with her husband and three children.

Cassidy delved into the Western Frontier history and the local native stories only to provide her readers with the intrigue and authenticity of the era. She hopes her stories satisfy their thirst for love and adventure and inspire them to live every day with a smile.

Amelia lives a very bad life due to her father's hatred of the fact she was not a son and the fact her mother had died from the birth, as far as he was concerned she had killed her mother and he never forgave her. She saw an ad of a man looking for a wife and wrote to him. Her best friend had a wonderful marriage as a result of answering an ad. After a number of mails from Oliver she finally got one with the ticket money, she was thrilled, and very carefully she left home with her carpet bag and was expecting to be met at the station by Oliver's helper. But he did not arrive so she went to the sheriffs office to get an idea for where Oliver lived. It was too far to walk but the Sheriff took her. Well, Oliver did not know anything about her, so this is how our love story begins which also brings out a very evil man. This is a fascinating story, one that I really enjoyed. It also includes an extended epilogue which tells of their friends and a baby son as well.
I highly recommend this well written story I am pretty sure you will love it as I have.

This book opens with the story of a young girl who works her fingers to the bone scrubbing clothes and linens by hand and is treated badly by some of her employers. When she gets home, her father is ready to take her earnings to the nearest saloon rather than allowing her to purchase bread to eat with the vegetables that she grows.

One of her employers had noticed that she was an eager learner and taught her to read. She read anything she could get hold of. Something that caught her interest was a notice for a mail-order bride. She decided to respond to the notice, was sent a ticket for the trip by train and stage coach, and she made plans quickly to escape the beatings she had to endure and travel to a better place.

It turns out that the writer of the advertisement was the uncle of a young man named Oliver. He had not really given any thought to marrying so was surprised when she arrived. He lived with his uncle and the uncle placed the ads without letting Oliver know. All was not well at the ranch where Oliver and his uncle, Melvin, lived. Oliver's father had died when their home was burned by people who thought they should have the land. They were disappointed when Oliver and Melvin did not move on. They then tried shooting into the house, stealing livestock, things that would encourage Oliver and Melvin to leave.

The young couple decided to get to know each other before marrying. Melvin served as their chaperone. This gave them a chance to get to know each other.

Amelia has been blamed for the death of her mother because of her birth and beaten, mistreated and verbally abused by her father ever since and made to help around the ranch besides working in town. When she comes across an ad in the paper for a mail-order bride and the picture of Oliver Gyles, she is drawn to him.
Oliver lost his father in the fire 🔥that destroyed his home and left him scarred from the burns he suffered getting his father out. Three years later, he and his friend Melvin have rebuilt the house and barn. When Amelia shows up, Oliver doesn't know anything about her or any letters exchanged and finds out that Melvin is the one that had been corresponding with her.
When the ranch is attacked and Amelia's safety is threatened by his father's nemesis that had tried to kill them three years before he tries to keep from telling Amelia anything that would make her feel unsafe at the ranch. Then she is kidnapped and all Oliver can think about is saving the woman that he's fallen in love 💘with.

She is badly mistreated by her father - physically & mentally. She sees an ad for a mail order bride and chooses to write him. Oliver did not know anything about her, his sub-dad, Melvyn, is the one who wrote the letters. She then becomes a 'niece' to Melvyn and she begins working at the ranch. But danger arrives, a man Oliver & Melvyn know of but have no proof that he killed Oliver's dad. Odd things are happening around the ranch, the bad man tries to force Oliver to fight him until Oliver does fight & is put in jail because of an asault charge against him, she is kinapped. Lots going on. Worth reading.

This is a well written book. Amelia is a brave woman to escape from her abusive father to travel on her own into the unknown. Only to find out that her mail order husband doesn’t even know about her. Who has been writing her letters? Read it and find out.

Arriving on Olive's doorstep when he didn't know her was confusing to both of them. Oliver's best friend Melvin who had been detained, arrived and told them that he had been writing letters to her for him. Oliver said that she could stay there till she could make enough money to go back Slowly, Oliver realized that he was starting to have feelings for her. Oliver's father had been burned in a house fire years earlier and he was trying to carry out his father's wishes. She saw a strange man at shop that Oliver did business with. She felt that she shouldn,t ,have anything to do with him. Reading this book will show the good in people and the bad in some. I received an ARC of this book and am leaving my hones review.

Reviewed in Australia on December 14, 2021

Yes poor editing like having a bedroom upstairs, then going to the back of the house to their room. And a woman with her hands tied behind her back with rope, rolling to lie on her back. Poor proof reading like Oliver becoming olive, and many more.
It ruined the story and if this is the standard of this authours books, then I’m very glad I didn’t pay for it. It was a freebie through bookbub.
