Book Review: South meets North (Montana that is) and nothing will ever be the same
Summary: 5 Stars
If a grieving surly rancher who's just lost his brother and sister-in-law in an accidental vehicular homicide and now has their three children to rear needs anything else on his plate, it is a mail-order wife. Travis Thompson has to face facts - he cannot do it all himself and he has managed to alienate all the women in town who could and would help him. Advertising for a bride is his last chance to salvage his life before he loses the children to the foster care system. The children's constant comparison of Travis's home life to their parents' does not help. Shy, mousy-haired, short, librarian Mary Warner at once senses the opportunity to get a life. If she stays in Louisiana, she will wither away until she is like a dusty volume on the bottom shelf of the back rack, a book that no one ever checks out. Travis's wish for a long-legged, well-endowed blonde are left unmet, as Mary reminds him of nothing so much as Minnie Mouse when she gets off the plane and two days later they are married. Look for a few weeks of tough adjustment which is much harder on Travis than on Mary, whose skills in the kitchen and with the sewing machine are second to her ability to take charge of a household. There are a lot of elements here: the grieving children, a grieving Travis who has no time for grief, and Mary adjusting from a damp Louisiana to a dry Montana. And then there's Travis's reputation in the town as a hell-raiser. Who would have thought he'd advertise for a wife, much less settle on someone like Mary? The subplots are the man responsible for the auto accident that killed Lee and Janice and orphaned their children and the man's son, who has fallen for a woman who feels their worlds are too far apart. With her usual skill as a writer, Macomber manages to pull these somewhat disparate elements together in a tough but tender love story. I check my local book store and library for new Macomber books on a regular basis. She never disappoints.
Summary of Morning Comes Softly (Avon Romance)
A shy Louisiana librarian, Mary Warner fears she'll always be alone?so she answers a personals ad from a rancher in Montana. Never before has she done anything so reckless, casting the only life she knows aside to travel to a strange place and marry a man she's never met. But something about this man calls to her?and she knows this may be her very last chance at happiness.
Tragedy made Travis Thompson the guardian of three orphaned children?and determination leads him to do whatever it takes to keep the kids out of foster homes. When he decides to take a long shot on a personals ad, the results are surprising, and before he knows it, he has agreed to marry a mysterious Southern woman sight unseen.
It could be the mistake of a lifetime. But Mary Warner may be exactly what this broken family needs. And with a little faith, a little trust, and a lot of love, two lonely hearts might just discover the true meaning of miracles.
