A Bride for Keeps

A Bride for Keeps

Unexpected Brides #1

Melissa Jagears

Everett heads out west with his fiance only to arrive and lose her to another man. Every time he attempts to get a mail-order bride she arrives and decides to marry someone else. Everett decides he's finished with mail order brides. But his sister-in-law writes to one anyway and Everett decides to make the best of a bad situation. He marries her with the understanding that this is not a love match, it's a partnership.

This story has been done a million times in a million different ways. But it was still romantic and enjoyable. It was definitely the typical romantic story with the obvious ending, but it was sweet and the characters were entertaining. The couple from the novella Love by the Letter were in the story as well so you get to read about them again, which was nice. This is the author's first full length novel and I look forward to reading more of her work. She shows great potential as a new Christian fiction author.
