Here are the stories of four couples who owe their wedded bliss to creative editing by The Hitching Post publisher. This charming bouquet of novellas introduces you to four Hitching Post Mail-Order Bride Catalogue prospects in the year 1870, all eager for second chances . . . and hungry for happiness. Year in, year out, they’ll learn that love often comes in unexpected packages.
1. “And
then Came Spring” by Margaret Brownley
Mary-Jo has traveled halfway across the country to meet her match, arriving just in time for his funeral. Returning home seems like her only option until her would-be brother-in-law proposes a more daring idea.
2. “An
Ever After Summer” by Debra Clopton
Ellie had no idea she’s not what Matthew ordered. And what’s wrong with being a “Bible thumper” anyway? She’s determined to show him she’s tougher than she looks—and just the girl he needs.
3. “Autumn’s
Angel” by Robin Lee Hatcher
Luvena would be perfect for Clay if she didn’t come with kids. But kids are a deal breaker, especially in a rough-and-trouble mining town. The trouble is, there’s no money to send them back . . .
4. “Winter
Wedding Bells” by Mary Connealy
David’s convinced he’s not long for the world. He needs someone to mother his boys when he’s gone—nothing more. Can plucky Irish Megan convince him to work at living instead of dying?
This
collection of four novellas by four different authors was a delightful read.
The common thread of all four mail-order bride stories are tied together by the
common matchmaker, Melvin Hitchcock of The Hitching Post, a mail-order bride
catalogue with the highest rate of successful marriages. None of the couples
that were matched up in this book got what they expected because Melvin edited
their letters. This makes for some intriguing twists in
these entertaining tales.
This book is fun and entertaining a
great summer read. There are also three discussion questions for each novella
in the back. This would be a great discussion for any Book Club.
