Young Love Historical Romance Vol.II Book 7
STORY-LINE MAIL ORDER BRIDE: MARTHA:
Martha Plinket’s on her way west as a mail-order bride. When the train hits a mudslide and Indians board, kidnapping Martha, she’s terrified. Tied, gagged, and thundering, only God knew where the horse falls in a gully; killing itself and the Indian. She, with a massive lump on her head, stumbles to the cabin of mountain man Gabriel Marsh.
Gabriel, a loner for many years, rescues her from his yard and the bitter cold. Waking with a headache and sick on her stomach, she finds a large man staring at her. Gabriel, fearing they’ll be snowed in, with no way out, knows he needs to get her to town and her fiancé. But after days together she’s not sure she wants to go to her fiancé. How will this all shake out? Can Marsh, who has been hurt in the past, see her as a Godly Christian woman of faith? Will their feelings grow as they travel to the nearest town? My romance book reviews follow.
CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:
Misty Shae and Terri Grace crafted a sweet clean romance filled with heart and emotion. Marsh’s past haunts him. However, Martha gives him ease. Knowing she has a fiancé unsettles Marsh. I found Shae and Grace’s characterization of Marsh strong and dependable; he’s a good solid man who has deep wounds. They also gave him a caring heart; regretting his past. Martha’s past allows her to care deeply as she is a giver, never complaining, unused to luxury. She had a hard life as a preacher’s daughter; used to little food or warmth. The author’s created a wonderful woman for Marsh; she’s a woman who has heart, compassion, and a willingness to work.
Although short stories and novellas cannot develop the characters or story-line in the depth of their parent, the novel, Shae and Grace packed this short tale of 48 pages with a solid story. Their characters are believable and likable, and the writing style flows smoothly. I loved both characters and would like to see more of them in the future. Perfect for a lazy hour or so of relaxation. A solid sweet clean tale suitable for anyone who loves western romances, I would not hesitate to buy this short story for myself or a friend. I look forward to reading more from Misty Shae and Terri Grace.
