This was a cute story with an HEA but it wasn't easy to read. It was written in the first person, which is my least favorite, and I had to search ahead a few paragraphs up to a page or two quite a few times to figure out who was speaking. That became frustrating. There was also a lack of detail and depth.I was looking for a quick, light read without a lot of angst and this did fill the bill, but I think with a little ingenuity it could have  very good story. For me, it was only mediocre but I am going to give Book 2 a try as it was rated higher.Mrs. Carson, mother of four sons, is trying to find a Mail Order Bride for her wayward son, Grant, who is involved with a married woman. She thinks a wife will settle him down and put him on a better path so he will willingly give up his philandering ways. This is done without the knowledge of her sons and when she asks her youngest son, Charlie, to drive to the train station and pick up Grant's new bride-to-be, he is flabbergasted that his mother has resorted to such deceit and trickery.Rebecca Hart believes she has been wooed by a wonderful, poetic man, but little does she know that Grant's mother is the source she has been corresponding with all these months. She heads west to marry this man she believes she is in love with and to her shock and horror finds out it was all a plan Mrs.Carter set into motion to lure her son away from his affair with a married woman.
