Synopsis (from Goodreads):
Sara McGee is not what
Tom Haskins expected. The artist knew he was taking a risk when he
reluctantly agreed to advertise for a mail-order bride but Tom assumed
the woman who answered his ad would be more refined than the penniless
and uneducated Sara McGee. Tom takes Sara under his wing but he knows he
can never marry her especially now that hes suddenly receiving
attention from accomplished pianist Annabelle Loving. While Toms sister
is bent on transforming Sara into a lady, Sara knows she can never
compete with Annabelle. Nonetheless, she finds herself drawn to the
lovely mountain town of Bethlehem and to the artist who brought her
here. But without a marriage to Tom, Sara knows she cannot stay. As
preparations for Christmas transform the tiny town, will Tom come to
understand the message of the first Bethlehem that the most precious
gifts don't always come as they're expected?
I have to admit, that mail-order bride trope is one of my favs. And I've read several of these Love Finds You... books that have been very fun. I just haven't read this one. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first one I have read. I saw several review's so they liked this one least or that this one was the slowest. I plan to try other's in the series.
DeleteI do enjoy a mail order bride book once in a while. This sounds great!
ReplyDeleteWendy, it's not a theme I have read much of but it does fascinate me. I have quite a few on my Kindle.
