This is one of the stories in the SEALS OF SUMMER BOX SETThis is the first book of a four book series involving four brothers, all in a different branch of the military and their return to their beloved family home in Montana, Crescent Hall, that has been in the Hall Family since the 1800s.  After the sudden death of their father, when the young boys were still at home, the home by family tradition, went to their fathers brother, Ezekiel "Zeke" Hall. But he has now passed away, his son Darren does not want the ranch and his Great Aunt Heloise is in an assisted living home and she has placed stipulations on the four boys to regain the home.Mason Hall devised a plan to regain their family home that comes with a one year time table and stipulations.  Mason, the oldest of the boy is getting out of the Navy in April, where he is a Seal.  He informs his brother of the message from their Great Aunt Heloise that requires marriage of all four boys and for one, a baby on the way in one year, plus 100 pair of cattle.Regan Anderson, during a moment of self pity and too much to drink finds the ad for Practical Wives Wanted for the four Hall brothers and sends off a reply to Mason.  They communicate back in forth in email, then a quick phone call and then onto Skype.  Mason's return to civilian life takes him to Regan in New York City to see if they have a connection.Crescent Hall has been in the hands of Uncle Zeke and he has left it in near ruins, sold off all the furniture, including in the bunk house, all the outbuildings are in series need of major repair.  Then to top it off, Uncle Zeke has left major overdue bills all over town.  Mason is overwhelmed but Regan believes in Mason and Crescent Hall. .  This is a cute modern day take on a mail order bride story.  This is book one in a new series that will follow the Hall brothers, leaving their military lives behind and going back to the family homestead in Montana.*I received a copy of this book for an honest review*
