Aah, it's good to read about mail-order-brides again! I liked the whole premise of the story; desperate circumstances, the big move west, a family separated, household adjustments, the romance of learning your new spouse and falling in love. It was sweet and lighthearted and while the necessary conflicts weren't too heavy, this ready-made family sure had more than their fair share of misfortune. Some secrets are left as cliffhangers and act as lead-ins for the next book in the series. There wasn't a lot of sensual heat or deep emotional musing but enough to make Jake and Miranda's romance feel good in an old school sort of way. Still, a satisfying read. 3.5 stars.
