Check Out A Bride For All Seasons Envisioned By Margaret Brownley Ready In EPub

was a great book to get me out of my reading slump, All the stories within are sweet and interesting, I love mailorderbride books : A delightful collection of heartwarming stories! on Amazon: sitelink amazon. com/review/RHYLW

I'm typically not a huge fan of novellas, but this collection of four "MailOrder Bride" novellas was great! The first two, "And Then Came Spring" by Margaret Brownley and "An EverAfter Summer" by Debra Clopton, were very good and had me laughing a lot.
"Autumn's Angel" was my least favorite of the four, probably because it felt way too short and rushed especially towards the end, My favorite was the last one, "Winter Wedding Bells" by Mary Connealy it was just so good!

Melvin, The Hitching Post publisher, and his interference in the couples' lives/letters added such a neat element to A Bride for All Seasons.
I just couldn't help shaking my head and sometimes laughing out loud at some of his antics! Oh, and I loved the glossary of terms at the end of Margaret Brownley's novella too funny!

Overall, I enjoyed reading all of the novellas and loved three of them.
I definitely recommend A Bride for All Seasons it had great characters, romance, and humor! If you enjoy historical reads especially mailorder bride ones, I think you will like A Bride for All Seasons.

Hitching Post MailOrder Bride Catalogue

The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the Lord,
Proverbs:NKJV

And Then Came Spring by Margaret Brownley

There is a fun Glossary of MailOrder Bride Advertising Terms And What They Really Mean following the story.


Melvin Hitchcock owns and edits the Hitching Post MailOrder Bride Catalogue and "finds it his duty to present clients in the best possible light" so a little rewording here and there before their ads are posted are sometimes in order.
Sometimes a necessity, if the truth be told, and definitely Melvin wants a happilyeverafter union, not a frowned upon stretching of the apparentuponsight!

Miss Parker needs to be represented correctly if she is to linger.
Superstitious at that! MaryJo has traveled from her home in Georgia to be wed to Mr, Garrett. Traveling on a Friday has caused his demise, she is sure of it, Not his traveling hers. She arrives in town a little too late and is first greeted by young Master Garrett and then by his uncle, who happens to be the county sheriff.
Of all the luck, or lack of it, In all of her travels to Kansas, she is outofluck, Completely.

Now what!

She hated to compare the sheriff to her gambling father, but Tom treated his nephew in much the same way Pa treated her.
Eddie wasn't just running to catch up he was knocking on the door of an empty house,
And Then Came Spring,

Young Eddie's uncle is unprepared to care for his newly deceased brother's eightyearold son, In a short time, MaryJo Parker has already gotten Eddie out of a couple scraps standing up for him, All she has had to compare the sheriff to was what she had known, What is she to do This is not at all what she expected,

I really enjoyed this story by Margaret Brownley, Once they get acquainted, MaryJo finds she is the one who needs a little changing,


"For I know the plans I have for you," declares
the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm
you, plans to give you a hope and a future, "
Jeremiah:NIV

An Ever After Summer by Debra Clopton

Ellie leaves home at the request of her aunt and is hoping for a happyeverafter.
She has been accused of causing the demise of her family her mother at her birth, her father, following of heartbreak, and on and on gossip acknowledges that she is not one to stay around.


There is a curlyhaired little girl needing her mothering and Purdy needing to be the protector of the little girl too, Her daddy has already settled his ever after,

Right then and there he resolved he'd offer this woman his last name and his protection in exchange for care for his daughter, But not his love. Not his heart.
An Ever After Summer,

Toss in some cattle rustlers, and a dance to remember,


This means that anyone who belongs to
Christ has become a new person,
The old life is gone a new life has begun!
Corinthians:NLT

Autumn's Angel by Robin Lee Hatcher

Love the handwritten letters within!

As long as he is good to me and kind to the children, as long as he is a Christian and has integrity, it doesn't matter who he is or where he lives or what he looks like.
I'm not marrying for love, I'm marrying because it's the practical thing to do, The same reason hundreds of other women choose to travel west and marry complete strangers, People have been arranging marriages since almost the beginning of time, It will be all right, It will.
Autumn's Angel,

Has Mr, Hitchcock tampered with this to suit his perspective outcome of his magazine successes

Luvena turned toward the stagecoach and pointed toward the luggage that the Wells Fargo driver and station agent were unloading.
"Those" two smaller trunks there and those two carpetbags are ours, "
Ours. He liked that she said it that way, even if she hadn't traveled light, Good thing he'd borrow a wagon instead of a buggy, Still, she'd said ours instead of mine, and he knew they were going to get along, It was a good start for their union,
Ibid. ,

Well, well. Mr. Hitchcock has adlibed at liberty omitting three important children, for sure, Especially when Clay Birch made it quite plain in his first letter he wasn't interested in a widow with children never mind that they are her nieces and nephew.
He sent fare for Luvena Abbott to come as his mailorder bride to foresee them doing good for others together, Hmm

Grand Coeur Opera House, Clay is having the stage rebuilt in the old Grand Theater, He desires to have the folks of Grand Coeur see beauty and grace to make a difference in their daily lives,

"I don't suppose anyone would consider me a refined or cultured man, Miss Abbott, but I've seen how people can be transformed by performances of great artists.
The audience may think they're just being entertained for a few hours, but it can be so much more than that, It can make them long for something better, "
Ibid. ,

Will he discover the change in him, beyond what he regards himself to be

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away behold, all things are become new.

Corinthians:KJV

I especially liked how Luvena found the practical thing was not to be determined by circumstance,


Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art
with me thy rod and they staff they comfort me.

Psalm:KJV

Winter Wedding Bells by Mary Connealy

Mr, Hitchcock has again edited the letters, He has sent on pagesandof David Laramie's letter to Megan McBride,

And an Irish lass, for sure!! This halfIrish Kathleen likes that! That would be me, Back to the story . Fortunate for Megan she has had experience with five younger brothers, The sleek carriage arrives dispelling David and his two young sons as bedlam proceeds, A need for David and Megan each to rescue one from the Chicago streets, They are used to the country life and not the crossing hoofs of horses in both directions carrying their wares and supplier of transportation,

Megan looked down at the boy she held, She asked, "And can I be trusting you to stay at my side, laddie No running off No horseplay"
The boy nodded as if he was quite terrified to disobey.
Megan released the child, took a few moments to dust herself off, She straightened her bonnet, which had been knocked nearly off her head, Then she tidied Zachary with quick, efficient motions, Regaining Ben's hand, she said, "I'm ready to go in then, We can have our visit and decide if we'll be suited to one another, Mr, Laramie. "
"You just saved my son's life," Mr, Laramie said with grim satisfaction, "I reckon we'll suit just fine, In fact, we'll suit well enough you oughta call me David, "
Winter Wedding Bells,

That's what I call "an introduction and referral, "

David Laramie has his own train car a borrowed one because of his health, He is in a slow recovery from pneumonia, They are preparing for their wedding meal,

Megan stepped onboard and gasped, A velvet couch, brass lamps, A table with four chairs to her right, the table laden with platters covered by domed metal lids for keeping food warm, Her stomach growled.
"We'll eat first. " David pulled the door shut, She wondered if he'd heard her stomach,
He threw a latch, which blocked off a means of escape for the rowdy boys,
Ibid. ,

Megan's new sons are four and five, The four of them are on their way to

their ranch home in Wyoming, David met Megan in Chicago as he was there for doctoring care, They marry the day after meeting and go directly to the train, David married for his sons to have a mother's care, with his illness extinguishing his life mentioned on the center page she did not receive, However, his eyes do not have death in them, nor does Megan's belief and heart,

Many plans occupy the mind of a man, but the LORD's purposes will prevail,
Proverbs:ISV
