Book received from NetGalley.

I would have given this 2 to 2.5 stars but I loved the main female characters kiddo, so it got bumped up to a 3. The premise of the book was cute, a younger brother sees how well his oldest brother's marriage to his mail order bride is doing and decides it's the best thing for him for his second marriage. I'm not sure when this became the new romance trope but I like it better than the step brother one from a few years ago. There was a HEA in the end, though the couple had some issues, it was a bit instalovey but I expect that from a book like this. The ending was a bit rushed, the big problem that was meant to bring drama to the story really didn't fit due to how it seemed to be thrown in at the last minute for extra stress to the couple. My biggest issue is the author is from New Zealand and the American characters kept using slang from that area of the world. She needs a better editor to catch the differences in the slang. I would like to read the rest of the series just to see what happens with the rest of the brothers. ( )

Received an ARC for voluntary review thru netgalley. The book was a cute fairly short story. Rory places an ad for a bride because he does not want to go thru the process of dating, but he wanted a companion since he was lonely since he lost his wife three years earlier. Gina, is a really sweet heroine and I liked her, she was a really decent person, and great mother, she answers Rory's ad and shows up earlier than what they had agreed on as meeting day, along with her baby Fisher, with the only last bit of money she had left, poor girl was completely broke. Rory was upset since she had never mentioned Fisher to him, and so they have trust issues to deal with, even though he wasn't truthful either. Fairly quickly they fall in love, and have to deal with problems, right off the bat, but they stand united to deal with them, even though Rory questioned himself a couple of times. I have to admit that at times I wanted to slap him, but he didn't let her go, which was smart of him. Loved Callie and Chase, plan on reading their book, so alls well that ends well. ( )
