Description
Elaina Andrews witnesses a bank robbery and recognizes one of the bandits, and struggles with fear and stress from his threats. Her best friend, Sarah, gives her a train ticket so she can take her place as the mail order bride of Peter Mullins, constable of Hunter’s Grove.
Pete turns out to be a fine gentleman and he marries her and brings her to his farmhouse. Every domestic duty Elaina performs turns into a disaster. She doesn’t like the house or the chores he’d burdened her with. She wonders if she should have the unconsummated marriage annulled even though there is a definite physical attraction between them. A rich man, Brock, steps into the picture. Is he her escape route, or will she find a way to reconcile with Pete?
Sara Landon –
I feel that if I was a mail order bride this would be my book. Elaina finds herself suddenly thrown into a mail order situation and is unable to cook, butcher chickens, make toast, you name it! Pete acts like he wants more of a housekeeper than a wife and judges Elaina on her housekeeping skills. When push comes to shove and Elaina finds herself in trouble Pete steps up.
This was a nice easy read, well paced, with characters I can relate to, and a narrator who did an excellent job bringing the characters to life. I will be listening to this one again.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
