It was fun reading Malinda & Wesley's story after the bride mix up between her sister Ellen & his brother Patrick in the previous Brides of Beckham series. In this second of a two part story, it was interesting to have some of the blanks filled in while already knowing parts of the story from the older sister Ellen's perspective. Malinda seemed a bit childish in the first story, but the author was very insightful in writing two separate stories because Malinda is a more complex character. She is shy, unsure, afraid of intimacy, fears poverty, and felt the loss of her father more deeply than her older sister Ellen. Each baby step she takes in her new life makes the reader want to cheer her on. In the end it is the love for and from her handsome sheriff husband Wesley that helps her mature and overcome her insecurities and fears. Once again another piece of the complex puzzle of Harriet Long, the owner of the mail order bride service, is revealed. I believe Harriet's story is soon to be released. Can't wait for the next book in this interesting mail order bride series. The mix up was not a mistake!
