Staff Sergeant Austin Hall has a brilliant record in the Special Forces—except for one disastrous decision that cost his best friend’s life. Now he’s heading home to Chance Creek, Montana, where he’d like to spend the rest of his days in the obscurity of his family’s ranch. Too bad Great Aunt Heloise won’t hand the ranch over unless all four of the Hall brothers marry and one of them produces an heir within the year. Austin is too broken to marry for love, so he places an online ad for a fake wife. What could possibly go wrong?

Ella needs to leave Hollywood—fast. It’s bad enough another actress stole her fiancé—on national television. Now she’s ruined her comeback by decking her ex on a morning talk show. Pursued by paparazzi, Ella needs a new life, a new name and someplace to hide. When she reads Austin’s ad for a stand-in wife, she knows she can act this part perfectly. To the rest of the residents of Chance Creek, they’ll be a happily married couple. In private, they’ll just be roommates. In a year when she’d old news and the Hall brothers secure the ranch, she and Austin will quietly divorce and she’ll go on her way.

Or will she?

Austin’s already finding it hard to remember his promise never to love again. Ella’s finding it hard to keep her hands to herself. But when they’re asked make a back-up baby, Ella realizes she may have stepped into a lifetime role.

Can this pretend marriage go the distance?

As reviewer 150 you know what this books is about but I have to say OMG these Hall men are something to write home about!! I loved Mason, now I love Austin and I am sure Zane and Colt will be equally HOT.

Austin is ex-Special Forces. He came home from the war with a few issues. It is more than survivor's guilt, he feels responsible for his friend's death. I can understand how that could plague a person and would be hard from them to move on. He marries Ella and they have an instant chemistry altho he fights hard against it. They do continue to get along night after night with promises to never again!! That part was rather funny for me and I thought they would eventually agree to have sex to just get it out of their system. With a body like this guy has, I can understand her enjoying it while it lasts!!!

As a run away movie star she is learning that to be her real self she needs to stay right where she is. Their story is very good, look for a big surprise at the very end!! I never saw that one coming. I really liked this story...so much so that I have to know how the other two brothers do with their quest for a wife. I did get a little peeved with so many people asking such personal questions of these two and feeling like they had an answer coming. It really got on my last nerve. I really wish they had put some of the people in their places!! But, I guess it is the way people really are in life as well as fiction.

Great story. I highly recommend it. Very entertaining and you find yourself thinking about these characters way after you finish the book. I love this series so far.

When Austin Hall received the latest skype call from his brothers he never would have imagined that it would be the beginning of a life that he no longer thought that he would ever have. His Great Aunt Heloise has taken over the Hall ranch, the same ranch that he and his brothers grew up on until his father’s untimely death. Now they have a chance for it to be theirs again but there is one small catch. All four brothers must be married and have at least one heir between them within a years’ time. He must find a bride fast but he’s been in the Special Forces for years and there is no one remotely close to being on his radar not to mention that after a disastrous mistake that cost the life of his best friend, he can’t marry for love when he has no love to give. By putting an ad on a dating website stating that he was in need of a fake bride he received a lot of responses but they weren’t good, in fact most of them were pretty bad until he saw the one from Ella.

Ella ??? had been an up and coming actress. She was up for a Grammy award and her fiancé was by her side, things hadn’t been great between them lately but she knew that they were both under a lot of stress. Who knew that not winning wouldn’t be the worst thing that happened to her that night. Nope that was the easy part, the harder part was to discover that her fiancé had cheated on her but even that wasn’t the worst part. After being humiliated on national TV she runs right into the arms of the cowboy that only needs a fake bride for one year. She’s an actress, she can play the role of the blushing bride, she can play the role of the happily married women while working on the ranch but can she keep her feelings hidden from Austin when she starts to feel more for him? It’s obvious that he doesn’t want anything other than her name on paper well that and her body in bed but that could only happen once, okay maybe twice, okay maybe once more but that’s really it…

This was a good book, the characters were enjoyable for the most part but there a few things that bothered me about both of the main characters. Austin was broken in the sense that he felt that it was his fault that his best friend died even though everyone else saw him as a hero because he saved someone else. Ella was also broken but her brokenness was because she was humiliated by her fiancé and his new girlfriend. Together they are both hiding out, him from his feelings and her from the world. It takes a while for them to get their acts together but it’s obvious from the beginning that they have true feelings for each other even though they both try to ignore them.

I would like to make a suggestion if you purchase this book. DO NOT make the upgrade and buy the audible portion. It pretty much ruined it for me. I believe that I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I hadn’t purchased it but I’m not going to let that effect my rating because it wouldn’t be fair to the author. This was the second book in the series and while I haven’t read the first book, I was still able to follow along and fine but it was obvious that it was book two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend the entire set!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2015

I have to preface my review with the following info: This book by Cora Seton is #2 in the Hero's of Chance Creek series. There was a bit of confusion for me on which of her SEAL's books went with which set so here is the order of this set:
1. The Navy SEAL's Email Order Bride, (Mason Hall & Regan)
2. The Soldier's Email Order Bride, (Austin Hall & Ella) *See Review Below!
3. The Marine's Email Order Bride, (Zane Hall & Storm)
4. The Navy SEAL's Christmas Bride, (Dan Hemmins & Sarah Metlin)
5. The Airman's Email Order Bride, (Colt Hall & Heather)
6. A SEAL's Chance. (Ben Warren & Caitlyn Cross)
The main books consist of #'s 1,2, 3, & 5 which focus on the 4 Hall brothers, Mason, Austin , Zane and Colt. #'s 4 and 6 are about friends Dan Hemmins & Sarah Metlin and Ben Warren & Caitlyn Cross and do still take place in Chance Creek with all the same characters. Just an FYI...book #1 - The Navy SEAL's Email Order Bride can be found in "Red Hot Beginnings" - a set of 14 novels by miscellaneous authors, #4 in a box set entitled 'SEAL's of Winter', and #6 in another box set entitled "SEAL's of Summmer". I had to purchase book #2, 3 & 5.
All were amazing and fantastic reads and I highly recommend the entire series. Although each can be read as a stand alone for the most part there is a string of events that does carry through. You don't lose anything from the story line if you skip #4 and 6 that are about the friends but the other 4 that focus on the four brothers are the most important and if you read one you will want to finish the set, they were that great!!!

Review of The Soldier's Email Bride - Book 2 has Austin Hall ending his military career with guilt over the loss of his best friend. He's headed home to Chance Creek, Montana at the request of his oldest brother Mason because a great aunt has given the 4 brothers just 1 year to get the ranch back in working order, marry and produce at least one heir or they will forfeit the ranch to a cousin. Mason is married and expecting a baby, fulfilling part of the agreement and he has placed a wife wanted ad for each of his brothers to get them married as quickly as possible and they are none to happy about it. Austin decides to place his own ad and when he runs across a response from a woman who seems desperate to get away from her current life and is then willing to leave with no strings he is intrigued. When he meets Ella at the airport she sure isn't what he expected from her photo, however, Austin doesn't ask questions. But Ella has secrets of her own and reasons for hiding out for the next year.

Austin's guilt is eating him alive at the deceit of this marriage but he is quickly developing feelings for Ella and not sure if she could ever see herself permanently on a ranch.

Surprises and shocking revelations abound in this full length novel. I highly recommend the entire set! I couldn't put them down.

Este é o segundo livro da série Heroes of Chance Creek e, apesar de poder ser lido como um Standalone, será muito mais bem aproveitado se for lido após o livro um que conta a história de Mason e Regan e fornece o background para todos os livros da série.
Neste "The Soldier e-mail Order Bride" vemos o romance entre Austin e Ella. A premissa é a mesma do livro um: o casal se aproxima, se casa e se apaixona, porém, por mais incrível que possa parecer, a história é original, interessante e, como esperado, bastante romântica. Há numerosas cenas amorosas mas nada com exagero. O casal tem química e é impossível não torcer pelo seu final feliz.
Os personagens secundários fornecem um colorido especial ao romance que diverte e emociona. Adorei e recomendo, com certeza.

Mein zweiter Roman von Cora Seton, der erste über die Hall Brüder.
Mir hat vor allem die Länge des e-books gefallen, sie hat sich genung Zeit genommen alles zu erklären, ohne sich zu wiederholen.
Die Geschichte ist glaubwürdig erzählt und hat keine Logik-Fehler.
Der Ausbruch von Ella aus Hollywood und ihe Beziehung zu Austin haben mich sehr gefesselt :)
Ich würde mir die anderen Bände auch noch holen :)

Read the first in the series and loved that but had to wait to download this book as could'nt find kindle charger!
This story was touching and fun and such a lovely read. As in both books once I started couldnt put it down.
Found myself staying awake to finish it with a nagging husband asking for lights to be put out! (spare room down hall for him if he isnt careful) a woman and her book cannot be parted!

This series just makes you want to find out how the brothers achieve their goals of finding brides, and how they all will settle together living on the ranch.

Obviously as you are introduced to the brothers in the first one they crop up through out so their characters develope and have you roped in wanting to find out what their future holds.

Must remember to look for new release of next in series, and get that other room sorted!
