The Soldier's E-Mail Order Bride

Ethan Cruz should be mending fences on his Montana ranch, but instead he's driving to the Chance Creek, Montana, airport - to pick up the bride he didn't know he had. This latest salvo in his ongoing practical joke battle with his best friend, Rob Matheson, has gone too far, and Ethan plans to send his "bride" right back home, then get busy plotting his revenge. One look at Autumn Leeds changes his mind, however. Perhaps he needs a bride, after all. A breathtakingly beautiful city bride. Autumn Leeds needs a story - fast - or she's going to lose her lucrative contract with CityPretty Magazine, so when she sees the crazy video plea for a modern mail-order bride for a cowboy, it sounds like the story of the century. Making a video of her own, she casts herself as the perfect mail-order bride for a rancher, but when she finally reaches Montana, she's surprised to find Ethan's the perfect cowboy husband-to-be. Against her better judgment, her plan to keep her handsome groom at arm's length disintegrates into a night of passion spent in his arms. Ethan knows he can't keep playing this game - he has to come clean with Autumn and tell her the truth; about the practical joke and about the state of his ranch. He's about to lose it all because of the debts his mother racked up before his parents' deaths. Now his sister, Claire, wants to sell the ranch and collect what little money they can. He'll be out of a home and a job, and in no shape to support the bride he desperately wants to marry, after all. Autumn's in bigger trouble than ever. Not only has she fallen in love with the subject of her expose - she might be carrying his child. If she doesn't write this article and secure her contract for another year, she'll lose everything - her career, her apartment, and more importantly, her family's approval. The only alternative is to stay and marry Ethan. But how can she trust a man she's just met when she knows too well that men always let you down? Can a love based on lies last?

This was a very enjoyable book to read. Not only did it have the fun element nailed down, but also it had an amazingly interestingly realistic sweet romance.





All the characters showed noticeable positive development in character. 
One of the great aspects of this book is that it didn't have much drama or stereotypes. Add to that the fact that even the complications that were seen since the start of the book were solved smoothly and easily that it didn't lead to frustration or annoyance. 

Cora seton did a great job in perfecting the plot and the style. Cora also gave us a great teaser in the last chapter of who is the next book is about which was, in my opinion, a very smart move as it peaked my interest in searching and reading the next book :).

This book is a PG book due to the presence of minimal sex scenes in the book, However, there was no evident details or violence. 
the language used is mild and unoffensive.

All in all, I recommend this book to everyone, it works best as a relaxed romantic read between heavy books or when you are in need of utter relaxation and peace.

Until next review , stay lovely and enjoy reading :)

★Review★

Overall I enjoyed this book.

It was a touch silly in parts, especially at the start with The Oscars and then the TV interview goings on. It was all just a touch far fetched for me.

But then, the whole premise for the set up of the series is a bit fat fetched, being forced into marriages and pregnancies within a year, with babies and back up babies etc.

But, I did like both characters, and I thought Austin's struggles were very real and you felt and understood his pain.

I did not like the plot twist at about 60% and then again at 90%. I understand the need to set up the "next" story in the series, but personally, I hate when it really impacts on the story of the couple I am currently reading about. But that is just a personal preference.

In the end, it is a 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars, and while I probably will read, and most certainly enjoy future books by this author, I would not necessarily rush out to buy them on release.

If Gunnery Sergeant Zane Hall wants to save his family’s ranch, he’ll need to fix up the buildings, stock the spread with cattle—and find a wife. The first two are easy with the help of his brothers, but getting hitched is proving more difficult. When he meets mountaineer Kenna North through an online ad, she seems like the perfect fit—at least in her e-mails. She wants the same thing he does: a temporary marriage to secure an inheritance. But when Zane meets Kenna, she’s nothing like he expects, and Zane finds himself changing his priorities, fast. If Storm Willow wants to save her family’s seaside cottage, she’ll have to keep her boss happy—which means taking Kenna’s place and marrying Zane when Kenna is detained out of the country. As long as Storm acts her part, no one will know that she’s an imposter. But when she falls for the handsome Marine, Storm begins to wonder if holding onto the cottage is worth giving up on love. Can a fake marriage lead to real happiness? Or is disaster just a heartbeat away?
