"This book is awesome. I couldn't put it down last night but at 3 am, I put it up for the night. It is so well written. A new bride is left with the husband's mother so he can go out on the range. The mother-in-law is crazy along with the man who is supposed to protect her. O my goodness. This part is not pretty at all. My mouth fell open with the bad treatment our new bride received. I had to get tissues when her husband returned home after 6 weeks on the range. I could truly understand the way the bride felt towards her new husband when he returned. But it was a good love story with a lot of obstacles to overcome. Wow What a book " --Amazon Review "One of the best Mail Order Bride books I've read. It had a very good story, with an unusual twist because of Parker s mother and a twisted former Confederate soldier. Georgie was brought to Texas under false pretenses. Parker has no idea His crazy mother has ordered him a bride. This was a really good book. I will definitely be reading more of this author." --Amazon Review "I loved this story. An action packed on the edge of your seat read. I love strong female characters, and no one is stronger than Georgie. Her strength and Parker's patience make for a wonderful adventure. This story had it all war, family violence, strong friendships and everlasting love. I highly recommend you read this story and all titles by Kathleen Ball" --Amazon Review
