The Bride Next Door is the second book in the Texas Grooms series and I haven't read Handpicked Husband , the first book in the series. I don't it's necessary to read them in order, as each is about a different couple, but I now know some of the key things from the first one because the people from the first book are a part of this one. This wasn't that big of a deal to me, though had I realized that it was the second book in a series before I started it I would have read them in order. So I just thought I'd mention it for people, who like me, prefer to read books from a series in order - in when it doesn't really matter.

In some ways Daisy reminded me of Tammy Tyree, she sweet, always cheerful, somewhat naive, thinks the best of people, etc., and that was both nice and a little annoying. She doesn't care what people think of her, which was a nice change from most heroines.

Everett is almost the exact opposite of Daisy. Where she is almost always cheerful, he always seems somber and he is very aware of society's restrictions and rules and strives to adhere to them - almost too much so.

A nice read, great for a afternoon lounging on the couch. Fans of Love Inspired Historical line should enjoy this book - I know I did.

***I received a complimentary copy of this book to review. I was asked to give my honest opinion of the book - which I have done.***
