Dacey: Bride of North Carolina (American Mail-Order Bride #12)
by Shanna Hatfield
My Review
Ms Hatfield has out done herself on this book I totally loved it. She gives you a different twist on the mail-order bride. With the mother doing to ordering up of one bride. She wants grandchildren and to see her son happily married. You will find yourself smiling and laughing the whole way through this story. One mother who does her best to see her dream come true, one not soon to be husband, the mail order bride who gets a shock that she is not to be wed, one ex who isn't happy that Braxton got away turns this into one funny read which is highly entertaining.
Braxton is taken by surprise to find the lady he past on the road is his soon to be bride. There is no way no how he is going to get married now to set his mother straight. I found myself laughing at this wonderful read with Dacey hello I am your bride to be. I would have loved to have been there to see his face and Dacey's when she found out that he wasn't going to marry her. There is something about this little spitfire that holds his attention. He might not want her but he sure doesn't want anyone else to have her. He finds a way to keep her close but not to close as he finds she has a way with horses and people he finds he might just want more than friendship.
Dacey has had a rough time of it, she lost her father, her stepfather isn't the man they thought him to me. She finds out just what a man he is when her mother dies. This leave her off and running starting a new life. Which leads her to being a mail order bride. Dacey seems to get her self into trouble. You will laugh at her tales of her life and all she has done. She is an independent women who knows what she wants and will step up to the plate to take care of herself. You are so going to love this charming lady.
Braxton mother has a few tricks up her sleeve as she puts plans in to motion to help her son fall in love. She is truly a sweetheart of a lady who is hellbent to see her only son married. You have to smile along with her as she plans her sons downfall.
This was a delight to read the author does spin some twist that makes this a page turner. She gives you wonderful characters as she takes you back in time that makes history. This was a well thought out book that had me laughing throughout it. I could picture the scenes as I turned the pages getting so wrapped up that I could not put this book down. There wasn't anything I didn't like it was a well put together plot. If you haven't read any of this authors work I suggest you start with this one. You will be hook and want to read more by her. Ms. Hatfield is my go to author when I need a smile I know she will have one waiting for me.
