Two beautiful brides. One unsuspecting groom. Three weeks to figure it all out.

Greta Olsen arrives in Central City, Colorado, as a mail-order bride, expecting to marry Jess Gifford, the man she's come to know through his tender letters. But when she meets Cora Johnson, she discovers she's not the only bride waiting at the train station for Jess.

Already shocked to find they must compete for Jess's affection, the young women can hardly believe it when not Jess but his brother Zach picks them up from the station--and reveals that Jess knows nothing about any mail-order bride, let alone two. Will either bride make the match she hopes for?

Filled with surprises, misunderstandings, and tender romance, Twice Promised is the story of how two unlikely women become twice blessed.

MY THOUGHTS

I missed the first book in this series, Deeply Devoted but I'm glad I read this one! Stories of mail-order brides fascinate me; while this is fiction, I know that the practice really existed in the nineteenth century. Brendan has crafted a tale that while somewhat predictable is nevertheless enjoyable to watch unfold. Greta and Cora immediately garnered my sympathies. Jess and Zach just made me shake my head at times! Like any other town, Central City contains a variety of characters; some are easy to like while others require a bit more patience! Twice Promised celebrates love and friendship--and emphasizes the importance of clear communication in any relationship! Grab a copy today.
