The "Brides of Beckham" series is getting to be more fun to read as each book is written. Susan is the Beckham, Massachusetts bride in this story. A young 18 year old, the oldest in a family of 12, 8 of which are outright hellions, she decides she wants out of her current life and that it is time for her to marry, have a husband and home of her own, with her own children that she can control and discipline her own way. She contacts the mail order business of Harriett Long to find a husband. I must say that the character of Harriett Long is getting more interesting and mysterious with each book!. Susan chooses Jesse Dailey, a single journalist in Ft. Worth, Texas. After a long 10 day train ride, she arrives in Ft. Worth tired and dirty, smelling like vomit from the 2 year old that latched onto her on the train trip. She is beginning to feel like a child magnant! She then is shocked and bewildered to be met instead by Jesse's brother David, who informs her that Jesse was killed while investigating a murder in Ft. Worth. But the shock and confusion doesn't end there. David, a widower, asks Susan to marry him in Jesse's place. Susan, now left in Fort Worth with no money decides to marry David. But what David fails to tell Susan is that he has 4 little male hellions of his own. That is when the story gets really interesting! Mail Order Madness is a sweet little treat. Readers who enjoy mail order bride romances should definitely put The "Brides of Beckham" series at the top of their wish list!
