Mail
Order Brides Anthology: Leah and Tess Books 1-2 (Montana Mail Order Brides
Series)
I’ve always
been fascinated by mail order bride stories. I’m sure that there were real mail
order brides back in the day. That was
the only way to have decent women to move to these remote towns that are filled
with men, many of which want wives, not saloon girls. The authors that write these books make you
feel the brides stories and their mates reaction to having them come to marry
them. The stories are sweet and fun
reads and you can only believe that many of these stories could have been true
because back in the day you were either an old spinster or a teacher, etc. or
you got married. If you couldn’t or
didn’t want to get married to anyone in the town you live in, moving to another
community is the only way and they didn’t often have backing from their family
to leave so by writing letters and receiving money to travel is the only
recourse they had. I love these stories
and find the different authors who write these stories to have great minds in
coming up with something new and fresh for each bride! I do recommend these books if you like these
types of stories.
This book was
given to me in a kindle format in exchange for an honest review.
