Anyone who follows my blog knows that I am quite the fan of the romance novel. I love the tropes (most of them), strong heroines, worth-the-wait heroes, and the HEAs (Happily Ever Afters).
Based on all that - Saving the Mail Order Bride did not disappoint! We had the trope of "forced proximity" in that both Nora and Jack find themselves, not only together, but eventually stranded together against the elements when the carriage they were traveling in crashes. At first, neither knows the true identity of the other (the fact that Nora is indeed the mail order bride), so it is quite a shock when the two experience their growing attraction to each other, and eventually get to know who the other is. Nora doesn't expect an "outlaw" to be her groom-to-be. However, what she believes turns out to be very different when she realizes the kind of man Jack actually is.
This was a lovely romance book that was not too heavy to enjoy (sometimes, you just want some fluffy romance, you know?). The book was well written, and the characters were so easy to care about. I love a story where you can really enjoy who the characters are - as if they were real people. I typically do not go for "wild west" stories, but STMOB was definitely stepping out of my comfort zone for!
