A Journey for Dorothy by P. Creeden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dorothy has been a widow for just a few short years and she's not looking to get married again. She and Scout have made a decent life for themselves on their little piece of land. When Dorothy gets a letter from her sister, she decides that maybe she can make some changes in her life. Along her journey, she meets a man named Elias and together they forge a way to Oregon on the wagon train. Can their relationship sustain the rocky hills or will there be an annulment in the future?

I love books like this! Historical reads are my favorite and add that it's a clean read and it's a win-win! This was a fairly short read as well. Made for an enjoyable end to an evening!

Joy’s Christmas Escape (The Marshal’s Mail Order Bride Book 1) by P. Creeden

 

Joy’s Christmas Escape: The Marshal’s Mail Order Bride Book 1 by P. Creeden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Joy is a schoolteacher who loves her pupils very much. When her grandmother falls ill and subsequently passes away, Joy isn’t sure what she’ll do. A very vile man comes at her and demands a large sum of money to pay off her grandmother’s debt, a debt that Joy cannot pay. When she tells him this, he says he’ll take her as his mistress instead. Joy isn’t about that life and does everything she can to get away from him.
Marshall Jake is alarmed when he sees fire coming from the direction of his family’s home, a home that his sister and her family now live in. When he arrives, he sees the twins, but not his dear sister or her husband. It doesn’t take Jake long to figure out that they’ve passed on and he’s now responsible for these two precious souls. How can he maintain his role as the town Marshall, take care of his mother, and raise these two kids?
When Joy’s minister suggests to her that her grandmother set her up with a “mail order bride” service in Denver, Joy’s first thought is “no way”. However, with Pomeroy and his goons after her, she decides that maybe grandma was right after all and knew she would need an escape. Joy takes a chance and answers an ad for the Denver agency. She immediately falls in love with Nate and Natalie and life in Denver. Would she be able to fall in love with the Marshall though?
I LOVED this book! It is in my top reads for this year. I’m a huge fan of historical novels and especially ones with mail order brides. This was a clean read, which I also much prefer! I will be looking for more titles by this author in this series.
