Fun, action-filled western romance with a little bit of humor thrown in.

The life of Rose Cross has gone from bad to worse. Her father has recently died, and half the hired men won't work. When she tries to fire them, they say they won't leave. To make matters worse, one of those men is a hired killer. If things don't turn around soon, Rose could lose her ranch or lose her mind. Fortunately for her, she has Carrie Higgins as a best friend, and Carrie will do whatever it takes to see Rose happy again. She'll even come up with the perfect plan to save the day. A mail order husband.


A different kind of mail order bride book.

This book was really good about 2 friends who would do anything for each other. Carrie wanted her friend Rose to find a husband to help her. I enjoyed reading this story.

Enjoyed reading a good clean romance. The stories are fun and just long enough to read in a small amount of time.

Knew what the outcome would be but still enjoyed the story. Just wonder why Percy didn't go get Jake in the first place.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of time
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2014
This has got to be one of the worst books I have ever read. I have Kindle Unlimited and picked the book out through that. I'm grateful I didn't spend any money on it. Rose's Dad makes her chose between him and his ranch and her boyfriend, so she picks daddy and his ranch. Then daddy dies suddenly of a heart attack. After spending 3 months staring at the walls, several of her ranch hands refuse to work and her best friend has the brilliant idea of sending for a 'mail order husband', to fix the problem. (This is sarcasm, if that isn't clear.)

***** Spoilers Alert*******

The book is short, which I knew. The characters are all one dimensional, you have no sympathy for them, in fact I gained a healthy dislike for several, including the two main characters, Rose and her best friend. Carrie her friend, refuses to listen to her husband when he tells her it's a bad idea, and there is something wrong with the guy she picks out for her friend. She then badgers the friend into marrying the idiot, and to no one's surprise (except Rose and Carrie), he turns out to be a con man.

Suddenly, her faithful foreman leaves to 'fix the problem' and is gone for about 3 weeks. He shows back up with, wait for it... the old boyfriend she kicked to the curb. In about 3 paragraphs he proceeds to kill the husband and the gunslinger employee that refused to work and get's the girl, then end.

With the amount of emotion invested in worrying about the killings of her husband and ranch hand, Rose would have been ahead to just load a shotgun and take care of the problem herself in the first two pages of the book. Save your money, this isn't worth the half hour or so it took to read it. I kept waiting for some redeeming virtue, but I didn't find it. I won't be reading anything else by this author, it's not worth the effort.
