5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Story!
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019

This is a well written story with some very emotional sections and witty ones too. I loved the impromptu appearance of the groom to be - such a lovely surprise and as for his proposal - well it had me in happy tears.
The characters are nicely formed with interesting personalities. I liked that a child was also written in as well as the love that both his father and future mother were able to show him.
I always enjoy J. Scott Bennett's narrations and this one was not an exception. He helps bring the book to life with his many and varied voices and I love this about him.
For an easy, very enjoyable, quick read or listen I would recommend this book or audio.
I requested and listened to the audiobook version and my review above is voluntary and unbiased.

The characters were good and the story line was the normal mail order bride book. I like the characters best because the author gave him a personality they were very well rounded. The author also also shows that sometimes when we say stuff that we don't mean how it comes out it hurts people's feelings And that's a good lesson for everybody to realize. I think you'll enjoy this quick I think you'll enjoy this quick if you're looking for a book to read while you're waiting for an I think you'll enjoy this quick if you're looking for a book to read while you're waiting for an appointment this would be a good 1 to read.

The evolution of the events in each of the lives of the main characters through their interaction with acquaintances who provided support to them, as well as the thinking expressed in the correspondence that set the stage for their unique meeting. The ending was spirited. What was most appreciated was the proper grammatical usage and correct spelling, (which showed the care of proofing)' as well as vocabulary which allowed me to increase my own literary intellect, I am well-pleased with this author's style and will add more stories from her to my library

5.0 out of 5 stars Shorter than a novella-- but worth the read.
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022

This actually could be fleshed out to three times as many pages, but in this short story or barely a novella format the story is that of an honest woman, an honest man, and making a connection by means of the American Post Office.

It was a bit more idyllic than real life tends to be, and there were no bumps in the road, so things just leaped forward quickly.

A couple more pages of their adjustment would have been helpful, but that is up to the writer, not the reader.

It earned five stars for managing to do what it needed to do so quickly.

I have been reading some of the shorter romance/mail order volumes, trying to get a better feel for the shorter format, and this one was exceptional in dotting the "i" and crossing the "t" with easy, straightforward writing, and this one gets bonus points for having the offspring spring off the page, albeit getting only a cameo role.

Candy. I'll' say though, I really enjoyed the man's point of view in opening the mail order response letters. It teaches a very good lesson in what makes a good letter. One really can learn a lot about a person through letters. Otherwise it's predictable fluff reading. Fun for a short few. I try to download only Christian or inspirational....I wouldn't call this either, just clean.

Catherine is a very tired and overworked chamber maid in Richmond, Virginia. Her best friend and coworker Ellen informs Catherine that she will be leaving soon to married a man she has been corresponding with for over 6 months. Ellen than expresses her belief that Catherine should also become a mail order bride or at least read the advertisements to see if any of them catch her attention.

Catherine read several advertisements and found she really didn't think she would find any to her liking until she read one where the gentleman was looking for friendship, companionship and a mother for his young son. Soon Catherine is writing to a gentleman in Texas to figure out if they might be compatible.
