All I'm going to say about this book is Briggs Brigman is a whiny little bitch. To make things worse he was a whiny little bitch the whole book. He trAll I'm going to say about this book is Briggs Brigman is a whiny little bitch. To make things worse he was a whiny little bitch the whole book. He treated Sarah like shit the whole book. I hated him. I didn't care for Sarah either since she thought it was cool to let a man treat her like shit while bending over backwards to please him and working like a dog in his crappy mud house. So disappointed I love mail order bride books but this one just made me angry. ...more

So I'm a little late reading Once upon a Mail order bride and getting my review up thanks to getting Covid and having it kick my butt. Better late than never. I have been a fan of this series since Clay's book. I love reading about mail order brides and life back in the wild west and this series has both those. Ridge Steele has been my favorite since book 1, so finally getting his story was great. It was nice to take a step back from the stress of life and enjoy his love story.
Ridge was everything I wanted and more. I really enjoyed his back story and getting to know what made him the way he was. He had such a good heart and was easy to fall in love with. Addie was amazing and perfect for Ridge. Not only was she smart and pretty but brave and loyal too. She did what was right no matter the cost to her. They made a really cute couple.
The plot was really good, but I did take one star off because there was so much danger coming at the couple from both sides and I felt like it was a bit too much. With so much going on in the world it would have been nice to have a little bit more calm to the story. Still I loved reading it. Getting to see all the other couples and the kids. I think this was the last book in the series and that's sad because I would love to see the kids get married. If you are looking for a good read with a wild west flavor this is the book for you. Also I recommend you read the whole series because they are all good.
I really wanted to love this book. The cover is beautiful and the synopsis sounded so good. Unfortunately I never felt the love between Sanyu and Shanti. Their relationship wasn't just a slow burn it was nonexistent. They never spent time together. Instead I found myself drowning in boring over the top details of royal life, and the politics of being the queen and king. I did like that Shanti wanted to make a difference. She wanted to make things better. That she stood for what she believed in and wanted to be a good queen. Sanyu on the other hand I didn't like that much. I felt he didn't have much of a backbone and let his advisor do all his thinking. It also bothered me how little he cared for or thought about Shanti. She could have been a chair for all he took notice.
By the time I warmed up a bit to Sanyu it was too little, too late. The advisor drove me crazy. I hated him so bad. I wanted him to get some real comeuppances for the crap he did but nope. The ended felt rushed, and the advisor issues got glossed over. While there were parts of the book I liked, overall it was just an okay and at times boring read for me. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I felt the love between the main couple or the advisor would have got what was coming to him. This is my first time reading Alyssa Cole and I would try her again but not this series.
Dnf at 30% a little too slow for me right now I'm not in the mood for this slow of a burn. May try again laterDnf at 30% a little too slow for me right now I'm not in the mood for this slow of a burn. May try again later...more

This was my first time reading George H. McVey and I have to say I enjoyed it. Was it perfect, no, but it was very charming. I really thought the relationship between Dorthy James and Samuel Ryder was very cute a tad cheesy at times but sweet. I liked the paranormal like bond/ soulmate thing that went on between them. I also liked the Ryder family so much I wanna see if they have their own books. But what I liked most of all was that even though this book was a clean read it still had romance and passion. There were kisses, heart races, tender touches. Things that are lacking in most clean reads. I will being checking out more from George H. McVey....more
