How is he going to get out of this one? Loved the characters. First story I have read by Susan Page Davis but look forward to more.

So Debbie seeks for a husband. The mail order husband might be just the thing to do for her. Zack has applied to the ad seeing he lost everything in the war. But can Zack prove to Debbie's father he is worthy to be the husband to Debbie and help them on the farm? Time will tell. Great characters and well written.

Britisher Barden Granville IV is on a “cowboy holiday” when he finds himself flat broke in Kansas.

My Review
Carrie Fancett Pagels always has wonderful stories. Always well written and great characters. Caroline Kane has been left with her teenage siblings to raise. After the war so many of the men didn't return. Leaving women to run the town and raising families are on their own. The mayor had a ideal she believes is from God. To put a ad out to see if men from other cities would come there to become husbands to the ladies there. That is till she mistakes Britisher Barden Granville IV as a prospective mail order husband. Barden is going through the town and realizes he is broke needs a job and this just might be the place he can get one. But maybe God has other plans!!! Wonderful story.

My Review
Great novella by Gina Welborn. This one finishes up the Seven Brides for Seven Mail Order Husbands. a great ending. After all the war stories J.R. Lockhart is very bored and needs something more entertaining g to write for the Godey's Lady's Book. Coming upon the advertisement about mail order husbands needed she decides to write up a story about it. Jane Ransome is eager to help him with the stories of the brides and their choices. Also keeping in mind Jane is looking for her own husband. Who will fit her description for a husband? Could it be that handsome sheriff, hmm but he is engaged to the mayor. Who will she be able to match up with? Loved the story and the whole series of novella's in the Seven Brides for Seven Mail Order Husbands.
OVERALL REVIEW
This book has been filled with many great novella's by many great authors. Seven Brides for Seven Mail Order Husbands is a great collection of romance stories from the time of war and whats left after the battle. In this time in history mail order was a great ideal to pull men to a area where women are needing husbands to finish up the family. Plus to help them in their lives. Sometimes even true love comes out. I loved this book was well written by seven different authors each telling a story of a bride. Characters are well written.
