30 Mail-Order Husbands books from 17 of the best-selling authors in the industry!
Even independent women need a helping hand now and then. More than muscles and rugged good looks, our brides need handy husbands, and only the Honorable, Healing, and Hopeful need apply... but is that truly what they'll get?

Mail-Order Carpenter: 1890 Montana, USA
Juliette has a penchant for spending her money at the risk of her security and future. When she uses the last of it on a big financial gamble, she feels trapped into taking on a handy husband as a last straw.

Will Juliette's unusual purchase turn her fortune around or land her in jail?

Carpenter, Roman, is handier than he gets credit for. Eldest brother and heir, he's bent on always doing the right thing, but being forced to take on a bride isn’t exactly what he had in mind. Roman has to decide if this marriage is the honorable thing to do or risk losing his family’s business, property and fortune to his unscrupulous younger brother.

When opportunity presents itself, will Roman see that a marriage to Juliette could pave the way for compromise and create a win-win situation? Or will his unbendable ways break him in the end?

A wholesome stand-alone novella in the historical mail-order Honorable, Healing, and Hopeful Husbands Series.

    Two completely different people find each other and marry quickly. Each for their own purpose. Juliette does things on a whim, and is not too concerned with neatness. Roman is proper, very tidy and neat as well as organized.
    Can this marriage last through the chaos?
    very sweet and clean with a lovely epilogue.

    This is a short easy read. I liked the different take on the mail-order bride trope. There are plenty of funny moments in the story to make you laugh though I do feel like the relationship between the two brothers was dropped. I would have liked to see it explored more after the horse riding incident. However, the love story between Juliette and Roman is sweet and entertaining. Definitely worth a read!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE??
    Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2024
    The story is part of the Honorable Husbands series by various authors and each story will read as a stand-alone and can be read in any order. These are clean, Western historical tales that mitigating circumstances will result in couples seeking a mail-order spouse.

    The story will take place in Miles City, Montana where fate will bring two people together by happenstance. Juliette Auclair has been orphaned after the death of her parents and has struggled to survive, having to sell off cattle, and even land. She can’t take care of the upkeep of the house. Her only recourse is to advertise for a husband.

    “Miles City, MT: Seeking Husband: Young. Kind. Practical”

    Roman Kirkpatrick stays busy running the family business where they craft well-made furniture and custom-request items. Sadly, he isn’t making the furniture as he would rather do, instead, running the business behind a desk. His father is threatening him about marriage and trying to match him up with society girls he wants nothing to do with. He decides to write his own advertisement.

    “Single Gentleman, 25, with his own business and high standing in Miles City, MT, seeks an unwed young lady for marriage. Must be of lively mind, a good conversationalist, and supportive of a man heading for greatness. Only applicants of serious disposition need apply.”

    The story’s plot will have Juliette and Roman both making it to the post office minutes before the five o’clock closing. The postmistress doesn’t care about privacy, and reading the two papers of advertisement, both seeking a spouse, she comments.

    “You’re here for the same things as that young lady. Miss Auclair. I say, this gentleman is placing the same ad as you. Well, for a bride, of course. Not a groom! Why don’t you save yourself the price of the advertisement and ask the young lady for a walk?”

    Juliette and Roman will indeed agree to marry, and keep it private, only his father and brother in attendance. But he also brings in crews to repair her family home where they will live. Dealing with her alpacas will be a challenge and eventually an adventure.

    “Has there ever been a betrothed couple, less happy than the two of us?”

    I liked Roman and Juliette together—they’re just what each other needed without knowing it. She learns some business sense under his tutelage, which will prove beneficial for them both. When faced with a crisis, she isn’t someone to just melt, she takes the bull by the horns and proves she is a formidable foe. Many secondary characters added to this storyline.

    “This was what marriage was about—having a companion who would be by your side, someone to share your life with. He realized he really didn’t care if the house was dusty, or if he had to eat leftover ham every day, as long as Juliette was there with him and he was there for her.”

    Sometimes what will make your life enjoyable is closer than you realize. Maybe not exactly as you envisioned, but exactly as it should be. In the end, the story does have the coveted happily ever after ending.

    “We advertised for love and found it in the queue of a post office.”
