The Widower's Wife by Prudence Bice

The Widower's Wife is a fun, light read.  I think it is well done.  I enjoyed just sitting and reading for fun.  I had a hard time pulling myself away from this book.

Jillian Grey is going to become a mail order bride to Dalton McCullough.  They have been corresponding through mail.  They have both arranged an agreement that she would take care of his children and become his wife but both have an understanding there would be no romance.  When Jillian & Dalton finally meet they both discover it may be hard to keep that promise.

You'd think this book would be just a simple story but, the author tells beautifully how they manage.  I was intrigued by this story and think you will be too.  I recommend it.

Boston Jane by Jennifer L. Holm

Boston Jane Series by Jennifer L. Holm

There are actually only 3 books to this series, but there's more than one cover for the first one.

I think Jennifer Holm had a great way of keeping the same atmosphere in all three books.

I cried in the second book, and I think it is because I could relate so well with the main character. Sometimes odds are stacked up against us. I like how it is said in the book that we make our own luck.

She has a lot of bad luck it seems. She'd like to have a man named Willam to marry, but finds life to be quite an adventure even though she'd prefer it to go here way a little more.
