These were decent. Pretty basic, nothing overly outstanding. Your basic, run of the mill mail order bride books. They're great for some light afternoon reading. Tess was my favorite of the two, but unfortunately it has a giant plot hole! In both Luke's original ad and Leah's letter there's a very specific thing that's mentioned, yet later once they've met in person, Tess claims she was never told about it. It becomes the center for a lot of the drama, so that definitely needs to be addressed. Another concern is how similar the two stories were. She basically uses the exact same formula for both stories, and while they were both good, it was very noticeable. Some more variation would have been nice. Otherwise, both nice, simple, fun reads.
I love Mail Order Bride books and this boxed set of two books is just what I love to read. Leah is a young woman living in Albany ,New York with her brother and his family. Her father has dementia and she doesn't want to burden her brother. She answers Henry's letter and finds herself heading to Billings, Montana. Tess is a seamstress living in Albany with her mother and father and fearing she will be the old maid aunt to her family of married sisters. She knows Leah and when she answers Luke letter, she discovers that Luke is from the same town that Leah has moved to. The books are stand alone, but it is nice to know some characters from the first book. I love the romance of the Mail Order brides and have ordered the next in the series
Can't say I expected much of this set of stories, but was very pleasantly surprised at how good they both were. Frankly, when I see " sweet & clean" I've gotten use to it meaning "plain, boring, and preachy". These were indeed, sweet & clean, but not at all preachy. The characters were different, interesting, and just plain good people. Sex was only passively alluded to, and only within marriage. You really got to know the characters and it all felt genuine. Highly recommend and will be reading others from this author.
I loved the journeys of Leah and Tess in having the courage to leave their oppressive situations and take a leap of faith to find happiness in Montana. Both are great stories of taking a chance for love. Well written and such a joy to read. Stories that actually make you feel GOOD inside when you read them. Looking forward to more stories with Leah and Tess.
This review is more for the great opportunity to get two books in one. I read Leah and Tess as separate stories some time ago. When this anthology came out, I got these books and read them again. These are not long books so if you are looking for a quick read and enjoy Mail Order Brides, this is for you. I enjoyed the books all over again and thank the author for making it possible to get the books at the same time., They make for a nice weekend read. The stories are clean and can be read by anyone.
This was entertaining as well as unexpected events that took place in the lives of two young friends who went west to find happiness with the young men who chose them as Brides. A must read for those who enjoy historical western romance kindle books from at a special price and from a special author who keeps me wondering what next for the characters.
I enjoyed these two stories as they were lovely romances starting out in a very practical way. It made me think about the limited choices women had back then and how mutually beneficial these marriages were. I'm sure a lot weren't so nice but it's good to read about ones that were.
I loved both of the books. I can't imagine what it was like back in that time that women had to resort to mail order brides. Your books give me an insight on this. Of course, the happy endings are great. Reading about mail order brides in a romance, it has history and romance. I love both. The books on Leah and Tess left me feeling good. Thanks.
