Adela's Prairie Suitor by Elaine Manders - Review of the first book in the Annex Mail-Order Brides series




BACK  OF  THE  BOOK  BLURB
(copied from Amazon.com)

A clean, Christian romance novella about a Victorian era, western mail-order bride.

Most of the ladies attending the Harvard Annex hope to attain a quality education and advance the status of women--except Adela Mason. All she wants if marriage and a home of her own.

After corresponding with Byron Calhoun, A Kansas farmer, for several months, she's convinced he's the man God has chosen for her. She accepts his invitation to visit the farm so he can "court her properly."

Byron finds Adela as sweet and charming as her letters have indicated, but will she marry him when she finds out he's in danger of losing the farm? Worse, how can he even convince sweet Adela to stay when his ex-fiance and mother are doing everything they can run off?

Prequels to the long historical novel series, "Intrigue Under Western Skies", the Annex Mail-Order Brides novella series follows three courageous young women who find love through the mail.


MY  REVIEW
Just how far do you think a mother will go to keep her son from marrying the woman he loves? You will find out in this short story and it is pretty interesting. There are two more books in this Annex series, which I just 'went' and purchased, then I will check out the "Intrigue Under Western Skies" series. Yes, it was really good!!!
