Descripció de l’editorial
Laid off and down to her last few dollars, Gina Taylor is desperate to provide for her baby boy when she sees an advertisement for a mail order bride in Marietta, Montana. On just a photo of a serious but handsome man and the charm of his kind, deep voice on the phone, Gina packs up her few belongings and leaves the hardships of San Francisco behind.
When widowed deputy sheriff Rory Watson buys a neglected ranch in desperate need of repairs and a homey touch, he realizes how much he misses the companionship marriage offers. His brother found a bride and happiness with an advertisement. Maybe he can too. But Rory gets more than he bargained for when Gina arrives, baby on her hip.
Rory can forgive a lot, but Gina never mentioned a baby. His instinct is to send her home, but his uneasy conscience insists she stay–temporarily. Gradually, Rory discovers that Gina’s smile, love of country life, and can-do attitude wake up something he never knew was dormant, and the chubby baby reminds him of how much he once wanted a family.
Can a down-on-her-luck woman find the home she’s always wanted with a man afraid to love again?

Escape With The Stuff of Fairy Tales!
Interesting romance and a little bit of mystery/mild suspense to resolve before the requisite HEA ending. It is the tale of a city woman answering an ad for a wife, in contemporary America no less, and the widowed town deputy sheriff living on his brother’s ranch with a rundown ranch of his own just purchased now at hand to renovate, who placed the ad. It turns out she has an 18-month-old son and her intended might not have been quite so upfront with her, in their conversations by phone before meeting, as he could have been, about his circumstances. Cue the dead baby daddy’s family’s entry, and by extension now his also of course, and things get interesting.
I enjoyed the fairy tale. And it is an easy, ‘nice‘ read. The book needs editing, however, for fact/character consistency, proper word use (e.g., “on tenterhooks” is correct but “on tender hooks” appears at least twice), missing words, grammar, etc. that an editor worth their salt would have caught (These things simply jump off the page to me when I read.) While these complaints are on the borderline of being too many for me to recommend the book, fix them and I would happily recommend it!
Good read
Great romance with some unknowns
