Mail Order Mystery by Cynthia Woolf

Mail Order Mystery

Brides of Seattle Book 1; by Cynthia Woolf

I am just starting to read books by Cynthia Wolf. I am ready to read more. I have enjoyed many mail order books in the past. I really enjoyed this one and it  has a neat twist to it.   

 

The time is just after the civil war and the eastern states have a shortage of men to marry.  While the western territories are starting to grow and have a shortage of women to marry.

 

Jason and his brothers own a lumber company and are in the Seattle territory. They don’t want to lose the men that work for them and are willing to bring women to the town. They send word to their sister back east to help find them so when they get there they can load up and head home.  Their sister puts an ad out for mail order brides and organize a meeting time and place for the women and her brothers. Rachel is one of the woman singing up for this.  She is worried but sets her eye on Jason.

They leave to go to Seattle as it will be a long trip Rachel plans to get to know Jason better. As they get to know each other Jason starts to worry about getting to close to Rachel. He has already been married once and lost his wife in child birth. He is not sure he can love again.

When they get to Seattle the women find their jewelry has been stolen. Rachel takes on the task of finding the thief. As she gets closer to the truth Jason starts to worry about her safety and finds he will do anything to protect her.

Can Jason keep Rachel? Can Rachel win Jason’s heart?
