I’ve been trying to find a series of books on KU and thought I would give this ago. I have never ever read a book with this storyline before, a e-mail bride!!! it’s just not something I would normally choose. As soon as I read the first email from Reagan to Mason (pride and prejudice style) it really caught my attention, what a sassy, spunky heroine, couldn’t help but really like her. I loved the spark between the characters, the romance was great, the couple did declare their love rather quickly (insta-love books aren’t my thing) but you know what it didn’t make a difference to me really enjoying the story and I can’t wait to read about the rest of the brothers. I could imagine this book being made into a movie, as that’s exactly what I saw in my head. Loved it and had a grin on my face throughout, steamy moments where good too.

Oh To be whisked away to a ranch in the middle of nowhere .  The amazing scenery this book conjures up is breathtaking. The whirlwind time from the entail email to them starting forever together is unlikely to say the least the grandmother must be delusional if she thinks her timescale is achievable for all of the brothers especially as only mason the oldest has now  left the navy.  Saying all this though I really enjoyed this book and will be reading the next installment straight away.

What a story! I've read mail-order bride tales before, but having Mason halfway around the world flirting with a woman who doesn't think she wants to get married (let alone move away from her life in NYC) was just an amazing start to an even better book. The troubles, the determination, and the development of their relationship were all very well written. I especially liked how he dug himself into a hole because he chose to honor his uncle's debts... when strong character traits cause more problems than they solve but then solve everything later on, I love it.

Quick read. I finished in a couple hours. Predictable, not totally believable, but very sweet. It was a free kindle book and I thought it was cute.

This was recommended by a Goodreads friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love Mason and Reagan. Normally, I like a bit more suspense/thriller in contemporary romances but this had enough real-life trying to make it work drama to keep it moving. And minimal angst.

Sometimes you just need a good fluffy read, which this is, but I did get invested in the characters, so I will finish reading the series to see what happens with the brothers and the ranch.

I laugh out loud many times during this book. Quite a fast-paced one, but oh, so sweet.

I really enjoyed reading Mason and Regan's story. A wife wanted ad, a little too much alcohol and next thing you know a romance has bloomed. There is lots of humour and some angst. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Very interesting modernizing of the idea of mail-order brides. I really liked the characters and am excited to see where this series goes.

Loved it. I was so pleasantly surprised with this novel!! I didn't expect to love the characters as much, and fall for Mason Hall as quickly as Regan did.

Can't wait for more love, laughs and drama as the remaining brothers fall in love.
