Description

Whoever heard of a mail-order bride in the 21st century? Julianne Dawson had mixed emotions driving across the country to marry the cowboy she remembered from summers at her uncle's ranch. Anxious to leave her former life behind, is she delusional in thinking that a rancher's wife would offer her the life she wants?

Desperate actions needed to keep the family ranch. No one in their right mind sends off for a bride he's doesn't know—not in this day and age. Yet Blake Reynolds does exactly that. He'll do anything to keep the family ranch even marry a virtual stranger—as long as she can produce a child within the year.

Can a marriage of convenience for both the bride and groom end in happiness for either, or is necessity the only driving force in this arrangement?

    Mail Order Bride by Barbara McMahon. This is Julianne Dawson and Blake Reynolds' story. Blake needs to be married and have a baby in the next year in order to inherit the family ranch. Blake and Julianne had known each other when they were younger. Julianne agrees to marry Blake. Will Julianne go through with this when she discovers the details of this agreement? Blake, Julianne, and supporting characters all seem to have this desire to be loved and have the comfort and security of being part of a family. They just have a hard time letting their guards down. I enjoyed the banter between the characters, the hot chemistry between Blake and Julianne, the side story of Shell (Blake's son) and Loni's story, and some surprising twists. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, emotional, and heartwarming romance. The story leaves you with a warm and happy heart. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

  • A modern day mail order bride

    I really enjoyed this modern day version of a mail order bride. Julianne Douglas agrees to marry Blake Reynolds after answering his ad in Western Ranchers. In order to save his ranch, he must marry and have a child. He only has a year left, so running out of time. Julianne was hoping to marry Steven, but when he found out she was sick, he broke up with her. Perfect timing for Blake. This book also includes a secondary romance story with Blake’s twenty-one year old son, Shell and his pregnant girlfriend Loni. Loni doesn’t want to stay a famous artist. If you enjoy reading western romance, you will truly enjoy this fantastic read.
