Jack Dixon knew his mother was right. It was time he married. He’d go along with whatever she writes in the letter to the matchmaker.
Priscilla Pringle fell in love with the man who wrote such a tender letter. Too bad that the man she meets in Missouri is his opposite. She’d leave and go home except for the little piggy she is bottle feeding.
Will she stay after the piggy is weaned? Is Jack the only one who needs to change
to make a marriage work?

More Thoughts:
This was a surprising little book that was full of romance and even suspense with twists and turns. Priscilla needs to leave her father's home due to a bad match her not so good father is trying to force upon her. So, she takes matters into her own hands and signs up to be a mail order bride.
Her husband to be, Jack Dixon, has just gotten back from the military and he is haunted by his war years. He is not sure he needs a wife, but his mother persuades him to get one to help her around the house and farm.
What happens is a whirlwind marriage and a very eventful first few months as Priscilla deals with Jack's war demons while knowing nothing about the danger that is stalking after her. Her family is full of some dark secrets. I enjoyed this story by a new to me author.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
About the Author
Marisa’s sweet romances often are set in her home state of Wisconsin. Growing up, she loved hearing stories about her family who pioneered in that state. Those stories, in part, are what inspire ideas for her books.
Though she’s from Wisconsin, Marisa and her husband of thirty-four years live in Saginaw, Michigan. They have two grown children and a precious three-year-old granddaughter, Hunny Junebug. She’s been Marisa’s best physical therapy and keeps her moving.
More from Marisa
As a girl of about ten, I remember holding a glass 7-Up bottle for the orphaned piglet. My grandpa attached a black rubber nipple and had me feed it—just like Fern in Charlotte’s Web. Unlike Fern, I knew not to name it or grow attached. It would be sold when it reached 40 pounds.
That memory came in handy with Priscilla’s Piglet. I wondered what I could add to keep my heroine at the farm after she decides the hero is not her perfect match. The memory prodded my brain. Who doesn’t love a baby that is in need—even if it’s a baby pig! It seemed the perfect fit for this story.

This historical romance has a lot going for it—mail order bride, secrets, suspense, trauma from war, and a cute piglet.

ReplyDeletethanks for your thoughts. I love this cover (brings back memories from when I lived on the farm with my own little runt piglet that I nurtured into an 800 lb. boar) this book sounds delightful and cant wait to read it.
