Since I was old enough to read Christian fiction, mail order bride stories have been one of my first loves. Fostered through Al and Joanna Lacy and Janette Oke, if it said mail order bride it didnt take me too long to think about reading it and the same still holds true to this day. But could you image ordering three bridesand all of them picking a different spouse? Oh I cringed for the hero for such is his lot.

Julia is an interesting and at times, confusing character. Her angst goes deep and needed much tender love, which Everett learns to give to her, however she at times confused me. A façade that seemed happy and cheerful when viewed from other characters, but timid and fearful when we saw the world from her eyes. The extremes were so distant I had a hard time reconciling the two, though it became a smoother transition the further I read.

I think what I missed the most in this particular title was the lack of a subplot. I would have loved to see more depth added by weaving in another characters story.

Otherwise, the story is a sweet and simple love tangle about characters the reader quickly grows to care for.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
