Rating: 5 out of 5

I thought this book had excellent character developement and a good story line.  Emily's father promised her hand in marriage before he died, to a cruel man. Desperate to get away before she turns eighteen and Victor comes to claiim her, she  responds to an advertisement for a Mail Order Bride.  As soon as she arrives in Texax she marries the youngest Tate brother, Nathaniel and does her best to fit in with his somewhat strict and religious family. Quiet and shy, she behaves and honors her husband until she finds out that the three brothers believe in weekly spankings.  Sparks fly between Emily and her husband for the first time and she is devastated by what she feel is unjust treatment and while Nathaniel is resolved, he does begin to question some of the practices of his brothers.  In the meantime Victor, who feels that his bride has been stolen from him plots revenge, determined to make Emily a widow and extract his own brand of retribution from Emily.This author was able to draw the reader into the story and you come to care what happens to all the brothers and thier wives as well as Emily's Aunt and Uncle. I liked that by the end of the book, we begin to see the brothers developing a softer side in respect to thier women and their beliefs.  While there were a few editing errors, there was nothing that would distract from the story.
