In theory, sending for a bride through a Matchmaker was a sound plan. In reality, it couldn't have been more disastrous...
As
Cottonwood Creek's newly elected Mayor, Harvey Dennett is in need of a
bride. Utilizing Chicago's most successful matchmaker certainly seemed
like the answer to all his problems, but when Martha, his wife-to-be,
faints the minute she arrives, he wonders whether he made a giant
mistake.
Bashful Martha, on the other hand, is happy for her change
in circumstance but unaccustomed to the wilds of her new frontier home.
When a string of robberies plague the citizens of Cottonwood Creek,
Martha enlists the help of two stalwart friends to conquer the threat,
endearing her to the people of the town. Will her efforts be enough to
win the heart of her husband?
Harvey's Bashful Bride is part of
the multi-author series Matchmaker's Mix Up but can be read as a
standalone story. Readers can expect a sweet happily ever after.
My Review: 5 Stars
This darling historical western romance was so sweet. The book begins with an intriguing prologue, setting the story up for a matchmaking mishap--can you imagine? It was simply wonderful!
Harvey is the mayor of a western town in Nevada and doesn't know how to handle Martha, who is completely opposite of his marriage request. With help from her new friends, Martha grows and adapts, while a mysterious string of robberies shadows the town.
I adored Martha and watching her metamorphosis. I loved watching her find her place and fit into it like a missing puzzle piece. But the surprisingly sweet, slow-burn romance was what really warmed my heart.
This small town is full of feel-good characters and charm and the story was heartwarming in its entirety.
