The Rancher Takes a Wife; Montana Brides, #1 by Leslea Tash


It is the 1920s in New York and Chastity Lilly is determined to find a career as a teacher so she can support her family upstate. But with her roommates help she starts to stray. Carl Ward was looking for his sister in New York he meets Chastity Lilly. She helps the rancher in town look for his sister, and she is reminded of the life she wants.   Carl is taken with Chastity and wants to know more about her.  To do this he will help her find the friend she was looking for when he met her.  When Carl has to leave and go home he can’t forget Chastity and helps get a teaching offer back in Montana.  If she takes the job she may have to leave her family behind, but there is not much for her in New York anymore now that her repetition is tarnished.  She decides to make the move and pray for the best and hope her family will be able to follow.

Carl can’t stop thinking about Chastity.  When she gets to town he not only wants her to teach the children but hopes to win her heart.  As his sister Jessica does not want this she does everything to keep them apart, including find out about the trouble Chastity was in before she move to Wedlock, MT.  Can they overcome the pasts they have to build a future together?

I loved how Chastity knows she needs to make the move and hopes to the have her brothers and sister move in with her so she can take care of them.  Carl shows Chastity to not judging others or the natives in town by what she knows.  I was mad at how Jessica treated Chastity and could not help it but to want Chastity to come out on top. I will be looking for more books in this series.
