A historical western cowboy romance novel about a mail order bride.

Tessa O’Connor lives in a world of privilege and excess. Her doting parents want her to make a good match with a worthy gentleman and live a respectable life. She is beautiful and intelligent and she comes with a hefty dowry. There is no reason that she shouldn’t be able to find an eligible man and settle down.
Tessa herself is the reason. The men who are attempting to court her are, in her opinion, boring and conceited. Not only that, Tessa craves excitement and adventure, of which there is little in her social circles. By chance, she comes across an advertisement for a bride brokerage company seeking eligible women of good breeding to go west and find husbands.
One man on the list catches her eye and she begins corresponding with him, eventually agreeing to go to Montana to meet him. She can’t resist the possibility of finding someone different and even if she doesn’t, the adventure itself would be worth her time. Tessa makes a successful escape and sets out to make a new life in Montana.
Dean Samuels is a Montana rancher who is in over his head. His ranch is struggling and his two children are unruly and in need of a caretaker. It’s clear to his younger brother, Marcus, that he needs help. He tells Dean about a mail order bride service and convinces him that he should utilize it to find a wife.
After his wife, Sarah, had passed away, Dean never intended to marry again. His ranch and his children became his life. However, it becomes apparent that Sadie, his daughter, and his son, Jack, need stability and love. The demands of raising his children and keeping his head above water financially have taken a toll and Dean grudgingly gives in to Marcus’ idea.
Sarah had been the love of his life and Dean doesn’t intend to let any other woman into his heart. He’s locked those kinds of emotions deep inside, not wanting to take the chance of getting hurt like that again. Because Dean has trouble expressing his feelings in writing, his younger brother Marcus agrees to help write the letters to Tessa. Dean is happy to leave that part up to him.
When Dean and Tessa meet, sparks fly between the two strong willed people. Tessa is disappointed that Dean isn’t the romantic, sophisticated man she was lead to believe he was in the letters she received. Dean is aggravated that she isn’t a meek woman who is easily managed. Never mind the fact that she has no idea of how to take care of children and keep a home.
Dean and Tessa struggle to find common ground and make their marriage work. Will they each take the risk and open their hearts to one another? Can their marriage survive and will they find love and contentment in each other? Their future happiness hangs in the balance under the Montana skies.

Story of courage. Tessa was very brave and a delight to come to know through the writer. I enjoyed Dean and his family both the kids and the brothers. I didn't give five stars because the ending was a bit rushed.

Hugeeeee fan!!

This book drags onnnnn. I really tried to like this book. The plot is good but the characters and writing are a bit underdeveloped also it just never got to the point where you can't put it down. The book wasn't descriptive enough. I would pass!

Ashleesweetz

Mail order bride: Western. Good book I'd recommend it

Koverho

Westward End. I appreciated how all the characters life were described in such detail, and how Tessa came to her decision. Her new endeavor was also brought out in such a way you could really picture the countryside, the people and lifestyle . Enjoyed it very much.

Zjm310

Meh. It was free so I can't complain too much but the book just felt so long I had trouble making myself finish it. The problem they had to get over seemed insignificant and Tessa just bugged me. More than anything the writing was just so-so...everything felt phony and a bit amateur.

Avidreader1414

Eh..... It was boring, to be honest. I kept waiting for more action and was left wanting. It took too long for Dean and Tessa to figure it out, and I kept wishing there was more to the plot than that.

Littletraindad

Westward Winds. A really heartfelt story of two people that were struggling hard with their own feelings. The emotional ups and downs are so real and true to life, that I didn’t want to put the book down.

Cherie4avi

Cherie4avi. Beautiful story written so well.

Neatza

Captivating Lovestory. This book is a refreshing change from other books I have read that are set out west. It is a sweet positive love story & each character adds depth to the tale. I only wish Dean & Tessa would have figured out their issues sooner & the rest of the book could have been about their experiences!

Cynsitty

Lacking. This book doesnt fit together the main character fought to get to the west got there and then fought wit her husband because his brother wrote letters to her instead of himself. No 3 page sex scenes - maybe a 3 -4 sentences of sex . Smh dont even bother no wonder its free

Classy Reader

Westward Wind. Enjoyed the book. It's so nice to read a love story without graphic sex. Very refreshing.

Boring. Written for a five year old’s vocabulary..

Endergirl;)

Mail order bride book 1. Really enjoyed Lite reading Have little time to read Like to pick up and finish Which I did Enjoyed very much

Motherpontwise

Mail Order Bride. The most simple to the point romantic book I ever read. Thank you for bringing back that good old fashioned romance that is MUCH needed in this perverse generation.

DJeanReynoldsT

Linear. Very good personal relationships and interesting "lessons" with a sense of reality. And yet there was little personal or life tension enticing continued reading except the last few chapters. Could have begun on train ride or general store with the background emotional trepidations interwoven with the developing love.

Mail Order Bride: Westward. This was a refreshing love story that had so much humor that kept your interest from the first chapter until the end.

Fan from AZ

Westward Winds. Good start to the overall story. Hoping the next book picks up where this one left off.

Nixiris13

You get what you pay for. This free book started with a good idea of a story, unfortunately, the characters, dialogue, even the setting seemed to be stiff and forced. The conversations were unrealistic and odd most times as the author tried to force the story to go in the direction it should have easily flowed. There are so many things that could have been done to make this more natural, but instead the story falls flat even with it’s happy ending.

Tessa and Dean

Mail Order Brides Book 1. Loved this book so much I just bought Book #2 !! I have always loved Westerns and we just drove across the U.S. to CA where we talked about what it would have been like for all those early settlers. I thoroughly enjoyed the book's glimpse into the past. You brought to life characters I could identify with. Thank you!

Mayana79

Great. It was a good western romance. I

Great. Great Book .And Great Characters

Sam 1955 5

Mail Order Bride. Very refreshing and simple love story!

PSemones

Amazing. I loved this book, I laughed, shed tears, got upset and every emotion in between. I was sad for it to end so quickly. The only problem with this book is the description when I decided to get to read the book. It made the characters to be different than the book really is, Tessa is tired of her family not listening to her that’s why she ran away. So she answered a bride ad and meet Dean. She did find Dean not so open with his feelings and she felt again she wasn’t being heard. The description made it seem he demanded a meek woman and he was aggravated about it. But the story is different I don’t think that’s what he wanted he just was having a hard time learning to deal with his feelings and it was easier to shove his feelings down. It also said he was not happy she she could not take care of the home and children. NOT she jumped right in and took cooking lessons from a neighbor and worked with the children school lessons and played with them. There is no where in the book that indicated he was upset with her, in the book he thought her cooking improving, that was the extent of that. Confusing....Even the neighbors children loved her. So I’m not sure why the author thought it was okay to make the book sound like it did in the description. iTunes do not have the other books in this series, they have audio but not the books. I found the other books on Amazon.

re: Mail Order Bride: Westward Winds. Absolutely loved this book, so much so that I completed this book in less than 2 days. It was kind of like what I used to do when I was a teenager. I was such a bookworm that I always had my face deep in a book & I was also always getting into to trouble as I would always choose a book over anyone or anything else. I am really impressed that your writing has brought me back to those days & I look forward to reading more in this series & becoming a bookworm again with each book I read. ☺️😍

Enchanting. I found this story to be enchanting. I loved the main character's sense of self and that she knew what she wanted and went for it. The setting of Montana was quaint and the characters were all very humble. Looking forward to the next installment!

Westward winds. A well written novel with enough background info to allow the author to build on without getting bogged down. The human responses through out the story were believable and easy to relate to I was pleased with the ending. Over all a good read.

Easy reading. Good storyline, strong characters. Great dialogue capturing the intensity of two people, who are polar opposites. Sub characters are also interestingly woven and drawn into the plot of the story. All in all a recommended enjoyable read.
