was really ready to love this book, & some of the emotional, landscape, & erotic descriptions were quite lovely. unfortunately the frenetic determined cheeriness of the narrative voice (neither deliberate absurdism nor actually funny jokes) & Sour Eagle the incompetent gambling indigenous character really took me out of the book every time I started to sink in & enjoy it. this might be the most, like, culturally heterosexual book I’ve ever read, which I guess means perhaps the author achieved their artistic aim?

This books was so fun. I love Junebug and the shenanigans she gets the family into. We get more great side characters and I can’t wait to see them in future books. These books are not as romance forward as a traditional romance (since the MMC wasn’t looking for a wife), but the characters are great and the story is fun. I can’t wait for more!

June Bug and the McBrides are back in this second hilarious mail order bride historical romance set in the remote Montana wilderness.
June Bug is one of the best young protagonists! I love these books so much as she secretly schemes to arrange brides for each of her brothers. In this book she's looking for someone who will put up with her grumpy eldest brother who yearns to leave the home for adventure after being tied down looking after everyone else.
Red-headed, Nebraska spinster, Epiphany "Pip," along with her spunky grandmother are the ones who answer June Bug's ad, not realizing that Morgan has no interest in getting married. Despite his protests, Morgan can't help falling for Pip but decides to leave anyways. Naturally June Bug doesn't let him get away and arranges for Pip, granny and herself to chase after him.
Lots of adventures follow in this slow burn, romantically charged Western that is sure to have you laughing out loud and swooning when Morgan and Pip finally give in to their mutual attraction. Many thanks to NetGalley and @prhaudio for early digital and audio copies in exchange for my honest review! I cannot wait for the next book in this series!!!
