I love The Bachelor-style romances and when I heard that we were being blessed with a third The McBrides Of Montana book with this trope, I was so excited! I do quite enjoy this series and this one was so good too. I loved the banter, the cowboy era America and the steamy romance that I love from Amy Barry. The only minor let downs were Junebug (I understand her existence as a character, but she’s so annoying) and the miscommunication trope. Other than that, a really good continuation of the series and I’m hoping for a book four or sequel series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

This book was so much fun!! I've honestly loved all the books in the McBrides of Montana series, and this one was no exception. The writing style completely transports me straight to Bucks Creek/Bitterroot and that along with the heartwarming and hilarious plot results in the perfect escapism for me. I really enjoyed that the plot was a bit different for this one, really making this story stand out from the others. I still adore Junebug and all her meddling, and it's nice seeing her grow up as the series progresses. I can't wait to see what antics she gets up to next!

If Junebug is going to shenan-once, she's going to shenan-again! This time, Beau is on the receiving end of her mail-order bride ordering prowess.

This series keeps getting better and better. I adored Kit and Morgan's stories and Amy Barry has outdone herself with the "Bourbon Prince" himself, Beau. Mostly dismissed as just a pretty face, I loved how Beau who initially thinks there's not much else to want for in a wife than "symmetrical attractions", ends up having hidden depths himself.

Ellie was a beautifully written FMC. Her proclivity to putting other's happiness before her own was really relatable and her growth as a character was excellent. I'll also say that the chemistry and tension, oh my!

I also loved spending more time with my favourite meddling sister and the rest of the crew from the previous books. There is always such a great balance of plot and humour. I do hope to see more from this series, with a few more McBrides that need to get hitched and find their happily-ever-afters.

Thanks to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster Australia for the eARC of "Seven Brides for Beau McBride."

I have been eagerly awaiting Beau's book, and it more than lived up to my expectations. The premise is certainly the zaniest of the series so far, and I really appreciate that Amy Barry has found three different ways to package the mail order bride trope. And this version really worked with Beau as a person. It was lovely to see so much more of Beau and get to know him better. He's delightful, a true romantic, and man who is infuriated by his family but still loves them so much.
Junebug was in top form, but I loved how Ellie didn't take her shit right from the get-go. Ellie was a lovely character, who I wanted to give a big hug.
The writing was once again great. The descriptions made me feel like I was right there in Bitterroot with them. Though I did miss being in Bucks Creek, as the majority of this story happens in town. I laughed out loud a number of times, particularly around Ellie's attempts to teach Beau how to compliment.
I genuinely can't wait for more in this series!

“Beau McBride needs a wife. Just… maybe not seven of them.”

Tropes you’ll find inside:
🐻Small town charm
🐻Mistaken identity
🐻Found family
🐻Mail-order bride chaos.

Seven Brides for Beau McBride by Amy Barry is the third book in The McBrides of Montana series, and it’s an absolute treat. Equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, this one leans all the way into its premise….A meddling little sister places a newspaper ad for a bride, and it results in not one but seven women turning up to marry the same man.
Cue the drama. Cue the banter. Cue the absolute chaos.
At the centre of it all is Ellie, a daydreamer with a kind heart, who only answered the ad to stay close to her best friend… and definitely not to fall for the stubborn cowboy with more ego than sense.

I had so much fun reading this. It’s got that comforting, Hallmark-but-better feel to it, with genuinely funny moments, sweet emotional beats, and characters you want to root for. There’s something really nostalgic about the tone, a little old-fashioned in all the best ways, and the love story slowly sneaks up on you.
If you’re in the mood for something light, feel-good, and full of heart, this one fits the bill perfectly. It’s a solid 4 star read for me and a great addition to the series, which continues to deliver with charm and heart.
