This is one of my all time favorite books. Carrie has always been taken care of and is such a joy. She falls in love with a picture and makes herself a mail order bride. It’s a fun story and loved how Josh’s children play matchmaker. I had some tears at one point but thankfully everything works out well. I really loved their happy ever after. I highly recommend this book.

Although this book doesn't measure up to her usual standards, it is still light years better than most of the books that I have read. It's a quick, light read with good characters, but the plot is a little too convoluted and hard to believe. LOVE the children!

4 1/2 stars

This I a wonderful example of the ability of Ms. Deveraux to demonstrate her outstanding written expression, to entertain her readers. Personally, it is difficult for me to enjoy stories of the old West. However, this was an enjoyable experience. Hopefully, you, too, will find it enjoyable.

In rereading this book, I feel compelled to change my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars. The plot is a little preposterous and the ending is way too abrupt. Someone so blasé about money as Carrie Montgomery is really hard to believe. And the “development” of the town solely due to the fact that she opened a dress shop is also a bit much. I guess that this book ranks as one of my least favorite books written by Jude Deveraux.
