Mail-Order Mistletoe Brides: Christmas Hearts\Mistletoe Kiss in Dry Creek

December 1, 2013

Agreeing to wed storekeeper Cole Matheson in order to provide a home for her young son and his teenage daughter, Mercy Jacobs heads for Angel Falls, MT, never thinking their simple marriage of convenience would become one of love in Hart's touching "Christmas Hearts." When her philandering husband is killed in a barroom brawl and she loses her job, Maeve Flanagan answers an ad to be Noah Miller's ranch cook and wife-in-name-only in Tronstad's humor-laced "Mistletoe Kiss in Dry Creek." VERDICT Two East Coast mail-order brides find love and belonging in this pair of tender, loosely linked romances that comprise the third faith-based mail-order bride holiday collaboration between veteran inspirational romance writers Tronstad and Hart, who live, respectively, in Washington State and Southern California.
