“The Promise Bride” (A Montana Brides Romance Book 1) by Becca Whitham & Gina Welborn
Emilia promises herself to Finn as a mail order bride and travels from Chicago to Montana with her family to start a new life with him. Upon arrival she learns of his untimely death and decides to stay in the small town to pay off his debts and made a new life by herself.
I loved the main character Emilia and her wit, determination, honesty, and hard working attitude. Nothing seemed to discourage her or deter her from improving her life for her family and working the ranch. I also liked Sheriff Mac and how he helped the new family and townspeople through out the book. This story had lots of laughs with some clean romance and drama set in the late 1880s.
I really enjoyed it! I read it cover to cover and can’t wait to read the next book in this series to find out more about the town people’s stories!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the book:
In a booming frontier town, a heavenly match may be in store for mail-order brides seeking a fresh start . . . women of strength and spirit who embrace the challenges of life and love in the wild Montana Territory.
Determined to save her father and siblings from a crumbling Chicago tenement, Emilia Stanek becomes the long-distance bride of a Montana rancher. But when she arrives in Helena, a rugged lawman shatters her plans with the news that her husband is dead—and deeply in debt.
County sheriff Mac McCall can’t afford to be distracted by the pretty young widow, not with scandalous secrets emerging as he investigates his friend’s suspicious death. Mac’s gruff order that she leave town at once only spurs Emilia’s resolve to take ownership of her late husband’s ranch and face his debtors. But as her defenses soften, Emilia begins to accept Mac’s help, feel compassion for his own wounded heart—and learns that trust means taking a leap of faith . . .
