My Review:
This is an interesting book. I love the idea of this series with the 4 friends moving to Colorado and advertising for husbands. This book tell the background story how the Ladies end up moving to Colorado and then advertising for husbands. While all 4 ladies are featured the story is more focused on Evelyn. Jacob ends up in the same town as the ladies trailing his brothers murderer. I love getting to know the ladies and the town. The different characters who turn up in the town are interesting. I love Evelyn's character she is strong and in charge watching her and Jacob spa is really entertaining. Its interesting how men back in this era and even today to a degree don't think women can be business women and think they need looking after. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. The series is different from other historical I have read because the women take the initiative in this series to build and save a town.

The Bride Blunder by Kelly Eileen Hake with review

In the Nebraskan Territory of 1859, Gavin Miller writes home to request the hand of Miss Marguerite Chandler. Unfortunately, while he never forgot Marguerite was the French word for Daisy, he'd failed to recall that the two cousins shared their grandmother's name, and Marge was the nickname of the wrong Miss Marguerite Chandler! When his surprise bride comes to Buttonwood, unexpectedly followed by the very cousin he'd meant to marry, will Gavin be able to solve The Bride Blunder?

My Review:

Another of my Birthday books. I just finished this book last night and enjoyed the story. Its another book I would have loved to see a 4th book as this book featured 2 interwoven stories featuring both Marge and Midge.  I would have loved for them both to have there own books but love how Kelly worked both stories into one book. I Love Marge she is a great character and away from Baltimore she comes into her own. I also like Gavin although at times his logic is flawed but I look how he thinks. One of the scene stealers in this book is Grandma Miller her sharp wit and always wanting an argument really adds to the story.  This is a good end to the series and I look forward to reading more of Kelly's books.
