Editorial Reviews

Greta Olsen answers an ad for a mail-order bride and travels to Black Hawk, CO, to meet her prospective husband. But she is as surprised as Jess Gifford, who swears he didn't place the ad. And Greta learns that she is not the only woman who answered the ad. Now she has to decide if Jess and his busy life as a shop owner are what she really wants. Even if they are, will she be the bride he chooses? VERDICT This second "Blue Willow Brides" inspirational romance (after Deeply Devoted) moves along at a relaxed pace and should appeal to fans of Jody Hedlund and Kim Vogel Sawyer.
