Seven Brides for Seven Mail-Order Husbands Romance Collection

A Newspaper Ad for Husbands Brings a Wave of Men to a Small Kansas Town

by Susan Page Davis, Susanne Dietze, Darlene Franklin, Patty Smith Hall, Cynthia Hickey, Carrie Fancett Pagels, Gina Welborn

A collection of Christian Historical Romances – all set in the same town in Kansas, just after the Civil War. Each of the brides in this series of stories is special. The town was full of women who had lost their men during and after the war. They were strong and had shouldered the work for years, but now they decided it was time to bring in some help. I enjoyed getting to know each of them as well as their prospective husbands. Even though the stories revolve around the advertisement for husbands, not all came in from the ads. I found each one to be interesting and engaging.

The Runaway Brides Collection

From  Maryland 1865 just after the civil war to Kentucky 1877 to New York 1898 to Ohio and Colorado1892 to Massachusetts 1892 to Ohio 1877 to Ireland 1877. I never used to really care for collections, mainly because they were too short. If I did feel that way, this is sure to change it, as I am quite endeared to it. Some were new authors to me, some I'd read their books before, now I'm a fan of all.

Usually as I go along I think of what I would like to say in my review, noting things that stand out. This book though, as I was reading I thought - I like this one best. Then I thought the same about the next story. And the next. So, they're all my favorites! The Groom She Thought She'd  Left Behind I couldn't put down and I swear that I held my breath till the end. Then the next story makes you laugh out loud. Misunderstandings and perfect understandings, rejection and acceptance. A girl can change her mind, can't she? I love that there's a Christian message and lessons too. This is a book that I can highly recommend to just about everyone. They are fabulous on their own, fantastic in this collection.

Mountain Christmas Brides

by Mildred Colvin, Mary Davis, Susan Page Davis, Lena Nelson Dooley, Darlene Franklin, Debby Lee, Tamela Hancock Murray, Carrie Turansky, Gina Welborn 

Nine stories, two time frames. The first 1880 on a ranch in in Wyoming, the second in Washington territory at a logging camp area, the third in 1913 near Denver, Co during one of the worst snowstorms in it's  history. They share characters and friends, which I love in this type of book. A mail order bride the groom doesn't know about,  a tomboy, camp worker, some wealthy girls, a Parson's daughter to name a few. A delightful mix with tons of depth and characters you feel you know. If you want to cozy up with a good book that will keep you engaged, especially for the holidays, this is a great choice. Isn't that cover just gorgeous?
