An Improper Proposal

4 stars

When a mail order bride and a rancher who has given up on love are thrown into a

dangerous situation, God makes amazing things happen even in the face of tragedy. Written in the third person limited point-of-view, we follow the two main' characters in this moderate to fast-paced, exciting, page-turning tale of love and heartache, showing the real struggles of what Frontier life in the West was like back in the 1800’s. This is book 1 of 2 in the Front Range Bride series that will stay with you well after the book is over. The author ties everything up but leaves us wanting more, by providing no epilogue, in anticipation of what is to come with book 2. Recommended for those who love a historical romance with a bit of mystery thrown in. 

Mail-order bride Mae Ann Remington has traveled a long way to get married, only to have her intended shot and killed shortly after meeting. Rancher Cade Parker is in the bank during the shooting and offers his assistance with the burial of Mae Ann's intended. Cade offers to pay her way back home since her purse was stolen but she has no family or home to return to and has a “business proposition” she throws at Cade. All she wants is a stable, safe environment to call her own and, if Cade chooses to accept, she will do her best to provide a wonderful home with good food. He feels inclined to accept her "business proposition" but is taken aback when emotions run hot. As it becomes apparent that someone or ones want to harm her, will they figure out what is going on before it is too late?
