Looking forward to a quiet life and a full stomach, mail-order bride Rebecca Rice is pleased to marry her shopkeeper intended, Mr. Fordham, until the justice of the peace calls him Thaddeus, not Theodore—proceeded by the title Deputy.
Is it possible to marry the wrong man?
When the newlyweds realize they’ve married the wrong partners with similar names, an annulment seems in order—and fast, since Rebecca’s true intended is impatient to claim her as his own, not to mention Rebecca would never marry a lawman like her father. But when the legalities take longer than expected, Rebecca wonders if Tad wasn’t the right husband for her all along. . . .
My Thoughts:
This book had me at the synopsis and it was a really fun
read. You had a very testy, if not a bit humorous situation where a mix up of
names causes a mail order bride to marry the wrong groom. Not only is that a problem, but her husband-to-be is his cousin. This makes for a difficult time for Rebecca as her now husband is a deputy and this mix up
is putting the safe and secure life she has dreamed and hungered for on a very
long hold. What’s a girl to do when she actually starts liking her husband more
than her fiancé? Do they continue to try a legal way to end the marriage?
Yep, this story was right up my alley and the author filled theirs
and the town’s conversations with some fun and witty banter. I could have told
Rebecca from the start she got the right guy when it all came down to it, but
then there would have been no story. The author really brought this small
mining town to life with a whole host of characters and to top it all off she
threw in a renegade band of thieves who were progressively getting more
dangerous; and drop in the ex-love interest of both cousins and you have the
makings of a great story. This was Wild West fun with heart.
I received a complimentary copy of this book
