Mail Order Bride : Savannah’s Cowboy

by Crystal Anne Tilden

Miss Savannah Winter leaves Georgia for the small town of Dovetail, Texas to be a mail order bride. This big step seems her best chance to find a husband. After all she is twenty-four and a schoolmarm on the fast track to spinsterhood. Wearing her best hat and her bravest face, she steps off the train expecting to find a respectable marriageable man waiting for her. Specifically she expects to be met by “a fine-looking bachelor rancher of twenty-six years of age in need of a cheerful, sturdy and well-mannered wife.” Instead she is met by a rangy looking cowhand who is fifty years old if he is a day. When she refuses to marry him and rebukes him for misrepresenting himself he tries to force her to go with him. A handsome cowboy strides over and confronts the lying creep who lured her out West. He is every inch her idea of the perfect cowboy, strong and handsome, confident and heroic. After he runs off the lout, she thanks him. She remembers him from the train. The moment he boarded she noticed his striking gray eyes and his charismatic way. Unfortunately since a woman and three small children were with him she took him for a married man. But he isn’t. He is looking after his widowed sister and little nephews. Good news. Savannah, resigns to wait a week for the Georgia bound train to come, but soon learns the school teacher is seriously ill and volunteers to substitute for as long as she is needed, even though it will delay her departure. As sickness spreads through town and her relationship with the cowboy becomes more complicated, it becomes unclear whether she will find love in Dovetail or return home content to be a spinster schoolmarm.

Really sweet story

Really sweet story

This was a really sweet, clean story. I loved the story line. There were a few times I wanted to scream at Savannah and/or Trent for not seeing the love they had for each other. But it all worked out in the end.

A Perfect, Beautiful, Clean Historical Romance

This is my first, but certainly not my last time to read this author. She kept the book fast moving and you didn't want to put the book down until you had read the last page, which is exactly what I did. Stayed up all night reading ít just so I could get the Trent and Savanah happily ever after. Also loved that there were many supporting friends/characters in the story that helped give the story depth as well because there were other relationships and friendships that added to the story.
