Lover of Romance 

I received a arc copy in exchange for a honest review. 

Cooper Thorne, is one of the three well known bachelors, and a trio of bonded brothers, all of them orphans, and struck up a friendship and a brotherhood. Cooper is more than content in his single status, until he meets Delta Dangridge. Delta has come to Texas to answer an ad in the paper for a mail order bride, a man she had been corresponding with for quite some time. But when she arrives no one greets her, and she gets angrier by the minute. When she learns that Cooper has no plan on marrying her, and tells her to leave town. Well Delta is no wilting flower, and after she stays a couple of days in Battle Creek, in Texas, she starts to love it, and realizes this is the best place to set down roots and begin a new life here, without Cooper Thomas. Cooper is appalled when he learns that Delta is staying around, and at first he figures it will be easy to ignore her presence, but he soon learns that there is a lot more to Delta than meets the eye. Soon Delta and Cooper can’t resist the attraction that seems to build between them. But Cooper has an enemy, and doesn’t believe himself worthy of a future with Delta, will his past destroy them both or be the key to redeeming them….

Texas Mail Order Bride is the first book in the latest series by this author. Now I just adore western romances, there is just something about those southern drawls, Stetsons, and a gorgeous man on a horse is mouthwatering…and this story was no different. I fell in love with it from the first moment. I read this one in no time at all and what a fun reading moment this one came to be. I just couldn’t help but read this one, without putting it down. I can’t believe I haven’t tried this author before now, but I definitely can’t wait to read more from this author in the future. 

What did I love most about it? The sizzling connection between Delta and Cooper. These two at first don’t like each other much. Cooper not wanting to marry a stranger, content being a bachelor. They are both at odds with each other, but then certain events draw them closer. I really enjoyed this couple and their connection to each other. This story was revolved around the building of their relationship, and setting up the plot. There is quite a bad villain in this one…and boy did I want to shoot him myself LOL. I really grew to admire the way that this story developed and there was quite an emotional edge to it that almost acts like compulsion to read more. You feel so drawn to the story and the way that this author writes her characters, you can’t help but admire her talent to weave together a story that is stunning and magnificent. This is one that I won’t be forgetting any time soon, a romance that is poignant, wild, and vibrant….guaranteed to take your breath away!! Watch out for this story, because you just might fall head over heels in love….I know I did.
