Description
Elizabeth McKinnie will no longer accept men ruling her life. After the Civil War devastated her family home, and having no way to survive, Elizabeth accepts one of the mail-order bride proposals presented to her and her sisters. She chooses a man who promises to treat her as an equal. Her sister convinces her to switch suitors, proclaiming the weather in Texas would be more suitable for Elizabeth’s weak lungs. Agreeing, she heads west to meet the mysterious cattle baron she knows little about.
Jeb Clayton grew up as a poor son of a drunkard. He has worked his entire life to ensure he never starves again. He is a man who understands cows better than women, especially after watching the fairer sex manipulate his father into an early grave. Still, he begrudgingly agrees to marry a sturdy bride to produce sons who can help build his ranch into an empire. Yet, what he sees getting off the stagecoach is a whisper-of-a-woman with undesirable birthing hips.
When Elizabeth’s and Jeb’s futures are threatened will they join forces, or will their bitterness be their end?

This is Elizabeth McKinnie and Jeb Claytons story, 4th in the McKinnie Mail Order Brides Series; a standalone, happily ever after, sweet love story.
This is the story of a woman strong enough to rise to any situation she is confronted with and a man who has been raised not to trust any woman.
This tale is well written, has nice flow, interesting characters, both good and bad; a nice sweet romance. This is the first book I’ve read of this author and look forward to reading more in this series.
I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This is a Historical Romance. It is a story about a substitute mail order bride and a cattle rancher. Both have scars from their pasts and make them leary of a union between them. Jeb's view of women is shaped by the women his unscrupulous father associated with. Therefore he wants a wife to have his sons. The men in her family were killed by soldiers and one of her sisters was attacked. So she wants to be treated as an equal. This is a great story. It has wonderful characters and an interesting storyline.

Elizabeth McKinnie is forced to become a mail order bride to a growling, handsome Texas rancher, Jeb Clayton. Jeb thinks he’s been duped by Elizabeth and she wants a man who doesn’t treat her like his property. Together they find what they are looking for on a long, tiring cattle drive. Great characters and a sweet, romantic theme make this a delightful, enjoyable book for historical romance lovers.
