CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:
Although a sweet clean western romance, A Mail Order Bride’s Hope is also a story of courage and strength. Crawford created a strong woman in Grace. A woman who will not give up, meets each challenge with fortitude and does what ever needs doing. Grace was made for the west with a pioneering spirit. Alonzo’s character is the perfect mate for Grace. He’s kind and gentle, gives her opinion thoughtful contemplation, and allows her to be her own woman. He’s so caring of her and appreciates everything she does for him. I found the tragedies they endured and conquered, made them into a strong couple. The secondary characters added an extra dimension to the story.
I found the pace of the book in line with the length of story and the characters well-developed. Crawford had several plot lines to weave together, which she skillfully did. In 65 pages, Crawford created a sweet clean romance and packed full of action, determination, and strength of character. Although short, I enjoyed this wonderful story. Perfect for a lazy afternoon read, I would not hesitate to buy this book for my self or a friend.
