A Bride for All Seasons Review
A Bride for All Seasons is a novel composed of four short stories about the marriages of four mail order brides-one for each season.
The first story is written by Margaret Browley and takes place in Spring. It is the story of Mary-Jo Parker and Mr. Garrett. Unknown to both characters, the agreed upon union is based on information tampered with by the mail order catalog owner, Melvin Hitchcock.
Both characters uncover the truth about their correspondences but somehow seem to make a workable relationship in which both discover love and happiness. Margaret Brownley weaves this story with her usual wit and humor much to this reader’s delight.
In the season of Summer, the reader discovers the story of Melvina Smith and Matthew McConnell. Once again, letters have been tampered with by the catalog owner and both characters are in for rude awakenings when they discover the truth of one another’s desires for a mate. This story is written by Debra Clopton. This was a first time read of this author but definitely not the last! This was my favorite story in the book.
Robin Lee Hatcher wrote the third story for Fall. I was quite disappointed in this story of Luvena Abbott and Clay Birch. The story line was very different from the other three-not really holding to the theme of the old West.
Mary Connealy wrote the final story taking place in Winter. Megan McBride and David Laramie are the only couples to unite in matrimony shortly after meeting. After the wedding, Mr. Hitchcock’s interference is uncovered. Mary Connealy is a talented author. Once again, she has created a male character that this reader can picture and admire.
Overall, this book was a very good read. I look forward to more stories by these authors.
Booksneeze gave me this ebook in exchange for my honest opinion.
