This book was a first for me a few ways. It's a mail order bride theme, not sure if I've ever read that. I've never really searched them out because westerns weren't really my favorite. However this did make me want to try more. I was enjoying the scenery and the premise behind it of a marriage of convenience.

This book is also a MFM romance. The mail order bride has two husbands. I have never read one of these. I don't think they are really my thing, but I was curious and wanted to try one. I also felt like no one seems to post about them and wanted to get out there and try it to see if anyone else read them.

The heroine, Jules, is biracial. She is an heiress living in the upper social realm of New York but wants so much more from her life. She wants to use her education to help others and that's what drives her to answer an ad placed for a mail order bride. This bride will also be taking over the job of teaching the children in the town. Jules believes this will be the perfect spot for her, and after many months of communication with Forrest from the Montana territory, she moves out there to get married.

You find out a few chapters in she will also be marrying Will. Will and Forrest have decided to find a wife they both love and after interviewing many applicants decide on Jules. The marriage is performed in a church and accepted by the town and I'm not sure if that was done, legal, ever happened but it was rather amazing. I totally went into this book expecting just fantasy and went with it.

I rather enjoyed this book. I didn't think I would honestly. You feel like both men love each other, they have a history after being in the war together. Yet it's not shown as a sexual love. But they love Jules. They have totally different personalities but I liked both heroes. You don't get to spend any time from their perspective though. It's all from Jules, or at least the majority is. I love the feelings from the hero(es) so I was definitely missing this. Especially a few parts where Will especially had some emotional scenarios, I thought those would have been much better done from his perspective.
The sex doesn't get super crazy, if you're worried about that. If you've been curious about MFM romance, its probably not a bad one to try.
I lowered the stars to 3 because I HATED the ending. Not the actual end of the book, I liked the last 5% or so, but the final problems/conflicts just drove me bonkers. I can't stand when there's miscommunication. I can't take it when someone is eavesdropping and hears part of something and misconstrues it into something else AND THEN REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT IT. I can't take it. *Bangs head against wall.* Can't....take....it *bang bang bang* Anyway, if that doesn't bother you, this might be a higher star read for you.
I also wish a bit more detail had been spent on the heroes. Either they had a heart to heart with the heroine about their past, their relationship together, something would have made them more concrete to me.
I also bought the next in the series, which is think is the MF main characters we are used to. The hero is Julien Baptiste, Jules twin brother. I did find the writing funny in parts, it flowed nice, it was pretty steamy. I'm keeping my eye on Rebel Carter's historical romance in the future. I adored the cover as well.
