Mail Order Bride: Katie



Mail Order Bride: Katie (Orphan Brides Go West, #3)
by Vivi Holt

My Reivew
Such pain and headache to have the love of your life with the future open before you to find out you are pregnant and that your husbands died all in the same day, on top of that you lose your job. To know you have no way to take care of yourself, pay your bills and take care of a baby with no job in sight. Your best friend talks you into marrying her cousin who lives far away knowing you can’t tell him about the baby. You are a lone in the world as you move all the way across the country to marry a man you never met. This all in the first few pages why you are still dealing with your lose. I wonder how many of us would do this, what if the only thing left is to entertain men in a sexual way. When the last one is added yep I would be on the first train to anyone who was willing to take me on. I could relate to Katie and all she went through along with why she felt or thought the way she did. There are misunderstandings, hurt and sorrow before Katie can find a place to call home.

This is a very sweet clean read filled with what if or does he/she still want me. There is confusion on both sides each trying to read each other’s actions and usually coming up with the wrong answer. This is a short read you can read at one setting. The author writes a great story with a wonderful plot which will break your heart. You really do not know who to cheer for at the start you only know your heart is breaking for Katie and all she has lost. I did feel the story was hurried and pushed a little but the author does fit in a lot in a short time. Both Katie and Kristoff will steal your heart why you would like to shake them for not just saying what is on their mind. I really enjoyed this short read of Katie and  Kristoff story it is a very touching read.
