My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book brought on the perfect balance of romance, as well as excitement. I did not expect this book to be intense as it was at times! The characters were very fulfilling and brought a lot to the table! I loved all this book was and is the author had a very talented writing skill which I very much enjoyed!

Reading this book, I felt I was transported through time, and I felt I was right there. I loved the author’s descriptive words they used to describe the time frames and how things went about. I loved that the danger and excitement went along with Isabella’s hope and dreams, where sometimes if something is too good to be true, sometimes it is. I loved how this book went about, it was not a plot you could guess easily of what would happen! It kept you curious and in anticipation! Loved it!

Wonderful writing and I was hooked right from the first page truly! I was intrigued and could not put this one down! I loved it! Highly recommend it, and it’s a must read and for sure not one to be passed up!

3.5 stars

Debra’s story is one of many in the American Mail Order Bride series. Isabella Bride of Ohio is not your typical mail order bride romance. It is an historical romance suspense story with a twist. There is drama and angst, mystery and intrigue, fear and danger and assault. This quick read gives us insight into the choices or should I say non choices that a lot of single women had to face back in the late 1800s. It also details historical facts for that time which was interesting. The characters are likeable, well most of them as there where a few I wanted to do physical bodily harm to but I needed something more. I did feel that the chemistry could have been fleshed out a bit more but all in all it was an interesting read.

She has gone from being taken and abused to an arranged marriage with a man who shows his true colours to be an abusive man. Will she get her HEA?

If you like historical romance give this one a go.

This is book 17 in the American Mail order Bride Series. These books are romance stories but this one is so much more.

In this book we follow Isabella’s story. After moving to American with her family her parents pass away leaving Isabella all alone. Needing to support herself she takes a job at a mill until 2 weeks later that burns down. Now with no way to support herself she hears about becoming a mail order bride and sees this as her way out of her situation. She writes to Donald Jenks. He is looking for a wife and seems like the perfect match for her. However looks can be decieving and the face he shows the world hides a dark person within.

On her journey to retch Donald Isabella meets Tom. When she is almost kidnapped Tom rescues her. But who is he? Will the be the only time he comes to her rescue? And what is this feeling Isabella feels when she is around him?

This book is a romance but not in the way you expect. It is also full of secrets and lies and has a story that will keep you gripped to the end.

This is a heartbreaking and beautiful romance book that will give you all the emotion feels. Isabella is a young lady that moved here from Sweden. She is working in a factory that burns down. While deciding what to do next, one of the other ladies suggests becoming a mail-order bride. She decides to take a chance. Well, it turns out to be a crazy ride and a very dangerous adventure with lots of drama. Two men have come into her life. One she promised to marry. The other rescued her from bad men. Will she make the right choice. I loved this book. Isabella was a delight to read about. She could have been anybody with the hard choices she had to make. She could have been a little sister you would worry about. Even being fiction, making a trip from Sweden to the United States was an amazing trip. Such a well written story. Fantastic story, engaging from page 1 straight through until the end. I love a clean, wholesome story that reminds you that God works in all ways. I’d love to read more of these. I highly recommend this to those historical romance lovers.
