The youngest McBride sibling is at it again: ordering a mail-order bride for the oldest McBride sibling without said hero knowing about it. This time, the one who answered is the heroine, who traveled to the hero's home to meet him. Along with her grandmother and her personal things, the heroine arrived to find out that the hero didn't know about her. The hero doesn't want anything to hinder him from going back to his cowboy career but has some personal issues he must go through before he can focus on his own happy ending with the heroine.

This is the second book of THE MCBRIDES OF MONTANA series. I've been looking forward to reading this addition to the series, and for the most part the story was good. However, my tolerance level to a particular McBride sibling was given a critical hit at the start of the story, and I began to not appreciate said character for the rest of the book, even if said character did have some good moments. This has dire consequences in my reading enjoyment, and I found that my patience level for some secondary characters also wearing thin as the story progressed. I did find the hero a tad unlikable in the beginning, but his growth in the book brought his likability factor higher. I liked the heroine more than the hero, even with her own personal issues. The author does have a nice writing style, and the story vibe was also nice. Overall, a nice addition to the series.… (mehr)
