Carter

Bachelors & Babies Book 3; by Cynthia Woolf

Men are so stubborn and Cater is no different. Good thing Samantha is patient.

We first meet Carter when someone is riding away from his house and he finds a baby at his door. He is totally baffled and the note with the baby has him scratching his head. The note says the baby is his, but he has not been with a woman since he lost his wife 2 years ago. Not sure what else to do he goes to town to get what he will need for the baby (not that he knows what that is). While at the store he meets a woman named Samantha that clams to be his mail order bride, he never wrote or asked for one.  She shows him the letters, while she helps with the baby. An idea forms in his head. He will marry her, and she can take care of the baby. 

Samantha is running from an engagement that she doesn’t want to what she thinks is a man that she has been writing with as his mail order bride. When she gets there, he does offer marriage but tells her he will never love her. He also wants her to care for a baby that he says isn’t his but was left at his door. She agrees and hopes he past is behind her.

Now they will learn about each other and see where this marriage will go. Will Cater ever love Samantha? Can she live in a marriage that has no love?

Eliza

Brides of the Oregon Trail 4; by Cynthia Woolf

I enjoyed reading Eliza. It is another book in the Brides of Oregon Trail series and we see the journey through another’s eyes. This time we get Eliza and Hank. I will say you don’t have to read any of the other books in this series to read this one and know everything going on.

Eliza Tanner is moving to Oregon to start a new life. She has joined a wagon train of Mail Order Brides; she however is not one of the brides. She is running from her current life, and all she wants is leave her past behind but that is something that never happens easy. By running she is keeping her past a secret from all, and remember secrets are never good. On the journey she finds an abandoned baby and decides to keep it as she does not think she will ever have a family of her own. Then the trouble starts.

Hank Barringer is man/guard otherwise known as an outrider on the Mail Order Bride Trail. He is there to help keep everyone safe. He does this took keep his mind off losing his wife and son. He doesn’t want to go through that again. Then he meets Eliza and all his plans go out the window. He has never met a woman like her and the more time he spends with her the more he likes her and thinks about her. However, she has not told him about her past. A past that is coming for her.

Now Eliza’s secrets and past are coming out and it may destroy the new life she is working on if it doesn’t kill her or her friends first. Eliza needs a hero a man that can save her, know the truth about her past yet still love her. The question is will Hank be that man or will she have to start over again?
