I was looking for something to read on my computer and stumbled onto this title.
I wasn't sure how I would like it. I'm not really a fan of historical romances. Or thought I wasn't!
I am now and a fan Karla Gracey! I'll be checking out additional titles from this series for sure.
This was a fun and quick read for me. I started it and couldn't stop. Stayed up way too late but I was intrigued with the story and the characters.
The story line wasn't what I expected. The typical guy meets girl. Guy wants/gets girl. Then trauma, or tragedy or an x comes in and causes trouble. They split then get back together at the end and all is well. Happily ever after. The end.
This story wasn't like that. There was sweet romance. Via letters. Till Carlton shows up in Boston to meet Myra the girl who answered his ad for a Mail Order Bride. A quick romance that began through their letters quickly takes the next step to a wedding.
But before they can wed unexpected trouble arises. Carlton has to face his past and figure out a way to move forward. And tell Myra about his past.
I enjoyed the story. And I enjoyed that there weren't a lot of characters. And a lot of twists and turns and sub stories involved. I think this is what made it such a fast read for me. Trying to count
I don't believe there a more than a dozen characters total. And some are never even introduced in the book. (The family Myra works for as a governess is out of town.)
A Bride For Carlton is Book #1 in the Sun River Brides Series. I look forward to reading more books in this series.

Ending felt too rushed
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 starsThis was a very different mail order bride romance than the ones I've been reading. I hadn't yet read one where the Hero came out east to meet the heroine, but in this one, he did.He was very sweet, and watching their relationship slowly grow was beautiful.My only complaint was that I felt the book ended too abruptly. I felt it could have been longer.
