This type of marriage happens everyday in real life.  People can fall in love like the couple in this book.  She needed money and he needed a green card.  The plot was great this is the first book I read by her like her stuff.

Liz Talbot is getting married! Then with just days before her wedding, she takes on a case involving one of her bridesmaids. Her sweet southern country belle Mamma is not happy about this AT ALL!

This case has her casing a "bordello". Her first visit into the house, she's been told there is a dead body, however, she finds nothing there. Her bridesmaid is sure there is a body and ultimately ends up spending the day of the wedding rehearsal dinner in jail for murder.

This little madcap mystery with all its little quirky characters makes for a very fun and enjoyable read. Of course, the wedding is one you will never forget as the case is finally solved as the bride is about to walk down the aisle.

This series is very entertaining and little ole country belle Liz Talbot with her ghost of a high school friend who died will definitely make you chuckle.

Thanks Henery Press and Net Galley for providing me with this free e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the final in the 12 Christmas Bride series. This one features Karen who has come to be married on Christmas eve to her fiance Clayton who she has known since she was young. Clayton is now a pastor and we see how Karen wants to be married but is scared she will do something to affect Clayton or that she may not be suitable to be a Pastors Wife. Throw in a few locals who can be difficult and a single girl use to having her own way and you have some interesting situations happening. I really felt for Karen I could feel her insecurities which some stem from childhood and it was good to see how the author would deal with them. Good Christmas read.

Another ultimatum type story where the hero/protagonist must marry in order to secure his fortune. Unfortunately his target bride will not go quietly into the night!
Miss Theodora Cumberbatch-Snowe has always adored her brother's friend Connor Douglas  but marriage to him would be that of a sometime bride as the dashing Scots privateer hied off on more adventures leaving her behind.
Hence the idea to settle for the steadfast squire Lancelot Fox. He has little imagination and great expectations of a wife who knows her womanly place. He has forgotten to tell Theodora all this. Her answer to her Connor problem is an elopement. An elopement with mishaps, where the spurned suitor catches up with them. Connor is about to have his comeuppance, delivered by that supposedly biddable young woman.
After a month's carousing Connor returns to find his targeted bride had fled the coop. This cannot be allowed to happen, she is after all the perfect bride; respectable, meek and mild--NOT!
A delightful somewhat sensual romp with a goodly dose of humor!

Kate OBrien has inherited her brothers run-down ranch in the Montana Territory, circa 1875. Unsavory neighbor Rafe Hamilton has long been after both Kate and her land. Thinking to help Kate, Bill Stricklin,owner of the mercantile, gives stranger Buck McKean a good recommendation to buy her land.

Buck rides out to the ranch, but can only convince Kate to hire him as foreman. Things become complicated when Buck is forced to stay overnight to protect Kate from marauders.

What a surprise awaits this couple when they ride into town. Suddenly, they are in a marriage of convenience. Can they trust God and each other and make a go of this unusual situation?

I enjoy reading about arranged marriages in our countrys past. It is interesting to see that the same faith that makes chosen marriages work today is the faith that made those marriages of the past successful. Funny how pride so often is a barrier between the key players. That is still a common problem today.

Thank you, Ms. Scott, for this complimentary copy that made me take a fresh look at how I am acting in my own marriage. I was not required to leave a positive review and all opinions are solely my own.

His brothers are married and some extended family has moved in with Adam. Now he has a larger family and no home. He thinks his hopes of raising and training horses are gone also. Enjoyed it immensely! Good clean writing and storyline. Thank you!

Lord Peter finally marries his Harriet in this classic mystery from Sayers. The wedding the couple set off on their honeymoon only to find a dead body in the basement. The newlyweds try to start their life together while solving the murder. There are so many wonderful characters in this book. The Dowager Duchess is a delight, and the local vicar and his wife, the spinster schoolteacher, the chimney sweep even the local cops are all wonderful creations. Seeing Peter and Harriet together after their long courtship is a delight.

Now that Garrett and Ammy are Wed and Morgan Wed his Daisy in the last story, that leaves their friend Julian still a bachelor. Whom ever sent for a mail order bride for Garrett might send for a bride for Julian next. It could be Betsy. Maybe Betsy might get together with Cecil or Chester as she calls him. These are cute stories. I am so happy that Horace put that nasty Eunice on a stage and sent her back to Portland.

I love her love stories. It was very entertaining. I wish more details about the wedding was included and the name of Cheyenne's baby daddy was given. My favorite part was there boat ride.

I'm in a Grace Burrows phase. I very much like the Windham family and their dynamics.

the Duke of Moreland: "I am telling you, in the absence of the Almightys availability: Do not marry her out of pity or duty or a misguided sense you want a woman in debt to you before you marry her. Marry her because you cant see the rest of your life without her and you know she feels the same way.

Belle Broune thought she had the man of her dreams until she found out he was marrying someone else and she wedding crashes the smarmy groom and lets him have it.  At the time Belle didn't think about consequences until she becomes gossip fodder and "The Other Woman".

Marty Lawson is thinking about the after party with his date for the wedding when he witnesses something far more entertaining, the Groom getting called back by a full figured woman.  Little does Marty know that his family knows Belle and he becomes intrigued by the passionate woman, she may not be his type but everything about her has him wanting to get close and claim her as his own.

This was fun, started off with a bang and had some really hilarious moments.  There were a couple things I would have liked to have come full circle by the end but found the story entertaining and curious about the other Lawson books.

This was such a fun read.  Willa's sister Peach is marrying into the enemy's family and that means that Willa and Knox  (the brother of the groom) are going to be running into each other a lot.  Knox has gone and bought the house that Willa has wanted since she was fourteen years old.  When Willa finds out he is the new owner she blows a gasket.
I don't want to tell much more, but this is a fun fast paced story and I plan on reading it again.  It was short but It is that good.
