This is a solid novella with the mail order bride and mistaken identity tropes. The FMC is half Puerto Rican and has a traumatic brain injury that she's coping with the aftermath of. The MMC is a mercenary prince who's had to fight for everything he ever got/wanted. He's looking to settle down for his crews' sake and because he's coping with the recent loss of his hand. The mail order bride thing isn't his idea and he's not looking for the love of his life or anything, just trying to get the problem solved. 

They come together really nicely, and the misunderstandings at the beginning are funny, especially if you're at all familiar with the Montana area or military brats. Enough tension and spice to keep you satisfied and can be finished quickly. Worth it if you're looking for some diversity rep and something light-hearted and fun to pass the time. I plan to read the next in the series.
