Mail Order Mommy

Mail Order Mommy by Christine Johnson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A Mother by Christmas 

Nursing a broken heart, Amanda Porter had answered a frontier mail-order bride ad placed by Garrett Decker's children—only to find the groom-to-be didn't want a wife. The widowed bachelor she hoped to marry does need a housekeeper, though, and taking the job is Amanda's only option. But his adorable children are determined she'll be their mother by Christmas… 

His wife's betrayal and tragic death demolished Garrett's life. Now he can't even look at another woman, let alone marry Amanda, who resembles his first love. Even if she does make his house feel like a home, filling it again with laughter and his children's smiles. But with his daughter convinced Amanda is the perfect mother, will Garrett realize she's also his perfect match?

Mail Order Mommy Reviews

3.0
“3 stars. Although this is part of a series, you don’t need to read these in any particular order. They are companion novels and each focus on different main characters, although you’ll probably get more background information on the characters and storyline if you read them in order. I was a little disappointed that it didn’t feel very “Christmasy”. Other than the nativity play that the children were putting together at school and the talk of snow and cold weather, there really weren’t many mentions of the holiday season. I was quite disappointed because I specifically chose this for the Christmas season, it was one I could’ve just read anytime. Overall I wasn’t too sure about this story, it was engaging and I liked it was fast paced. But there was just something about it that left me wanting a little more from it. The ending was tied up extremely quickly, too quickly for me. I didn’t particularly like the characters, I didn’t connect with any of them and some of them really got on my nerves. (Main characters included.) For me this was an average book, not the best book I’ve ever read but it wasn’t to worst either, it was somewhere in between. Probably not one I’d pick up to read again.”
