Publisher Description
Anna Dawson thought she had the perfect man. She had the perfect life planned out with her perfect man. She was marrying the town's most eligible bachelor. Until she wasn't. Suddenly, on her wedding day, she's spurned. What's a girl to do but run away, her head tucked low in shame?
Daniel West's got a problem. His uncle's will states that in order to inherit his own parents' property, Daniel's got to have a wife before his next birthday. Before his next birthday? There doesn't seem to be time to find and woo a wife. Until his sisters concoct a plan involving placing an advertisement for a mail order bride.
Seemed like a great idea at the time, but it seems Mother Nature has other plans. No sooner had Daniel collected his mail order bride than an earthquake struck and destroyed the town, sending the two into a head-spinning day of search and rescue. Among all the ravages inflicted on the town, can Daniel and Anna find what they are seeking and rescue their attempts to find love?

Great read
Love the spirit of this book… Good clean story… What we think sometimes is bad,, God turns into good for us…
Not bad...
A quick, sweet read. Needs an editor and likely some fact checking about items mentioned and if they were actually used during the time period of the setting. The storytelling is a bit juvenile and lacks depth but the story idea is good.
Not what I expected :(
The first book I read by this author was A Highwaymen’s Mail Order Bride—it was nicely written and seemed to flow well, plus the characters were believable and endeared themselves to the reader well before the ending. This book was sorely disappointing in comparison. I am glad I read the other book first or I may not have decided to read more from Blythe Carver. This book centered entirely around a natural disaster that (while devastating) could have been wrapped up in less than a chapter—the scenes felt entirely too drawn out and every sentence was stuffed with filler words that didn’t lend much to the enrichment of the paragraph as a whole. Worse, the character dialogue was stilted and unnatural and too modern for the time period. The characters did not come off as lovable as they were intended to be—instead they annoyed me. This is just my opinion, and someone else may enjoy the book much more than I did—but maybe read A Highwaymen’s Mail Order Bride first or you won’t have a nearly accurate picture of the talents this author truly possesses.
