Mail-Order Brides of Oak Grove: Surprise Bride for the Cowboy\Taming the Runaway Bride (Oak Grove #1-2)
by Lauri Robinson, Kathryn Albright
This was a great buy two books for 1.99 from two delightful
authors who have intertwined two stories together that complement each other. Two twin sisters whose father has died is more
or less run out of town and made to become mail order brides or go to jail. The
two stories are built around them and their goal of whether or not to get
married.
Surprise Bride for the Cowboy
Mary has always been
the one to take care of issues, dealing with problems and take care of her
family. When her father died he left her taking care of his mess and her
sister. Her sister is more of a gentler
lady more of a wall flower than a doer. Mary is a doer, shaker and doesn’t let
any grass grow under her feet. She is not getting married no way no how. As she
sneaks off the train she is caught by a very handsome man. He is a little surprise
when she lands in his lap. This first meeting doesn’t go so well leaving them
both very surprised when they meet up again at Steve’s home with her needing a
job.
Taming the Runaway Bride
Maggie’s sister takes off leaving her behind to take the
fallout for her leaving. Maggie is worried about her but is enjoying her life
of others taking care of her. At first she comes across as a little spoiled but
that really isn’t the case. No she cannot cook very well nor do a lot of other
things most women can but she is willing to learn if she must. Life gets
interesting as men more or less fall at her feet but she isn’t having any of
that. That is until one man gets her attention leaving her waiting to spend
time with him.
Both stories complement each other neither sister nor Steve
or Jackson wants to get married. They put up one heck of a fight but it is a
fight they might not win. There is the contract both women signed which isn’t
going to be easy getting out of. I think
I liked Mary the best she is more of a go getter but Maggie is more sweet and
loveable. I liked both Steve and Jackson for different reason. Both has issues
with their past that they will have to overcome. What really makes this a
delightful read was the humor. I just loved watching these couples try to out
to the other butting head and making waves. The doctor is a delight and gives many hours
of delightful reading as he goes after Mary trying his best to win her hand. He
does have a little surprise that left me with my mouth hung open. I found
myself chuckling and even laughing out loud a time or two. There is the cowboy
that doesn’t seem to want to leave Maggie’s side which leave her trying to
outrun him. I really enjoyed reading
these two stories loving how the authors collaborated giving
you a highly entertaining read. A clean fun read that really hooks you. The stories
are nice and easy and at times fast pace that builds up to a little passion and
a lot of fun. I loved how the authors gave a touch of mystery to the story and
how fun the characters and the plot was. I look forward to reading more from
both authors.
