Izzy McCree, an orphan with a crippled foot, has taken a chance to change her life by answering a rancher's request for a mail order bride. Too bad for Izzy, it is the rancher's oldest child who has made the request without his father's knowledge. With the help of the rancher and his three children, Izzy, who feels flawed and has definitely grown up on the wrong side of the tracks, finds her self respect. The light humor and slight sesuality of the story add to the book's charm.

For a man who didn't know how to win a woman's heart, Matt Prescott made a good job of it.

Aaron Prescott, nearly 15, wanted a wife for his father and a mother for his brothers and sister. He wanted his father to be happy again.

Benjamin and Clement were special brothers and Del, the littlist, a cute sister. Clement did the trapping for pelts and Benjamin was great at collecting honey and Del kept chickens and gathered the eggs. Everyone contributed to the welfare of the family.

Matt and Aaron tracked down and broke to saddle, wild mustangs for the army. Isabella couldn't believe her luck in being able to join this special family.

But as always, danger does exist, and Matt must resuce Isabella from Cutler, a horror from her past. But love has blossomed for Matt and Isabella in a most beautiful fashion.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- don't miss this great story

This is more than your typical western romance and if I had to find fault with it I'd say the last minute arrival of a previous wife is ill timed. We could have learned about her much earlier rather than have her oh so dramatically arrive at the last minute. In fact she never had to arrive at all as it would have been enough that someone in town told Isabelle about her enabling her to find out the truth about the children.

If you want to read about acceptance, love between family members, and how the good guy always wins then this is a must have! This book is witty, charming, and it is a great read when the weather is frightful!

At first I used to think that romance books were dorky. This is the first romance book I ever read. Now I read nothing but romance.
