Sweet Historical Romance
Book 1
Scarred Mail Order Bride for the Widower
Jan 31, 2021
I was enjoying the story for the most part, until he takes his intended to the bar for dancing. I thought I was reading an historical book, but this entire scene was reminiscent of a contemporary story.
The narrator had very little changes in her character voices, tempos, accents, etc. I could distinguish between male and female but everyone really sounded to similar. The entire book maintained the same kadence! It was too easy to fall asleep to, and I couldn't listen straight through for this reason alone.
There was also too much droning on with details. It was a bit frustrating. But I loved the story line. The concept was beautiful and I had very high hopes for this story!
**edited Jun 29, 2021** after reading book 12 in Bear Creek, I understand how the author meant this saloon. It's definitely different from any other saloon I've ever read about, but this is a family place that offers dancing and food for families and limits alcohol so no one gets drunk and rowdy.
Book 2
Unexpected Mail Order Bride for the Pastor
Jul 5, 2021
Definitely some sappy and predictable scenes, but others are unique and thoughtful! I love their beekeeping dates and their relationship with many of the Lakota tribe. Maybe I'm getting used to the narrator, but besides being a bit too slow in her rhythm, it was good.
Book 3
The Hopeful Mail Order Bride's Destiny
Jul 6, 2021
This book is definitely a new favorite for me! Parker is a true hero! He's compassionate, and considerate, yet willing to uphold righteousness even at the pain it will cause his family! Daphne's voice seemed to change about half way through. Turning to a Southern Bell with a haughty sound. Not my favorite voice.
Book 4
Enticing Mail Order Bride for the Banker
July 7, 2021
This was an interesting book. I know he's a banker and she's from a prosperous family, but I'm glad more focus was on their character than their money. I feel like there should have been resolution with his father though.
I've definitely grown more comfortable with the narration and can't think of anything that needed improvement in this book. -

1-4 Daisy Creek NE Mail Order Bride Novels
Daisy Creek is a small town in Nebraska which lost lots of its population to the California gold rush. The remaining city leaders, mostly bachelors, begin a campaign to rebuild the town one mail-order bride at a time.
This mail-order bride series is set in Daisy Creek, NE around 1890. While occassionally historically inaccurate, this is clean, positive hopeful, lightly Christian series.
Book 1. Scarred Mail-Order Bride and the Widower. 350 pages. 2021.
A warm, clean tale of Western love between an 18 year old orphan, injured in childhood by a fire, and a small Nebraska’s town newly widowed deputy who has 2 very young children.
Book 2. Unexpected Mail-Order Bride for the Pastor. 356 pages. 2021.
Having done over 25 books from this narrator, Gina Dobbs, and she is consistently very good. I may be shallow, but is a narrator mispronounces a few words or repeats a sentence it disrupts my listening pleasure. Dobbs uses a variety of breath placements, so you do not get that annoying sing-songy pattern.
Book 3. The Hopeful Mail-Order Bride’s Destiny. 326 pages. 2021.
Daphne flees Atlanta after violently rebuffing her daddy-selected businessman intended and heads towards Daisy Creek to become a mail-order bride, even after she receives last minute word her Nebraskan groom is no longer available; in this clean, hopeful, lightly Christian story. Read in series order, but not imperative.
Book 4. Enticing Mail-Order Bride for the Banker. 320 pages. 2021.
David, Daisy Creek’s bad banker, is forced by an Inheritance/allowance situation with his Dad to seek a mail-order relationship with Eloisa, a New York heiress who longs to be a novelist. -
The dates don’t add up
I put a lot of stock on research. At the beginning of the book the author wrote these books spanned 1882-1885. However, she has a character reading boxes of cereal which didn’t come until 1906. Also, the water closet wasn’t installed in homes until 1890. Showers were not capable of using hot water until 1889-1907. Prior to that a shower was a bucket of cold water that was dumped on the person by pulling a cord.
There’s also a lot of talk about Daisy Creek having lost a major portion of the population and had a lot of vacant storefronts due to the California gold rush, which was 1848-1855. It doesn’t seem realistic that in the 30 or so years that the town was still half empty.
Another problem I had was the language. It didn’t match the time. It was more modern which threw the story off. -
Daisy Creek Brides: Books 1-4: from Amelia Rose is a well-written clean romance. It is set in the wild west in a small town called Daisy Creek. It is a great place near the camp of the Ota Indians. Unfortunately, there are no marriageable women for all single men in the region, so the men put an advertisement for a mail order bride. The series is about how brave women travel west to get married and all the adventures they experience and obstacles they encounter. A very nice series to read. With nice characters that you really get to know. The stories will keep you captivated until the very end. Another great series by Amelia Rose.
