I didn't read the prior book, so I can't based it upon that. Jokingly with friends, we would say that we need a store to find boyfriends (or husbands in this instance); and if you found a nice one but weren't able to purchase him, you could always put him on layaway. This story, however, has a woman placing an ad for a husband. She ends up with the brother of the supposed groom and his 4 little boys. The plot is simple and quick to read Another great book by Ruth Ann Nordin. Love Margaret and her spunkiness. I laughed and cried with Margaret through all her troubles and triumphs. Waiting for her mail order husband and not getting what she thought she was. But, getting MUCH more than she had asked. Companion book (2nd book) to A Bride for Tom. Easy read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"When Margaret Williams posted an ad for a husband, she expected Paul Connealy to arrive, but instead, his older brother, Joseph, came...and he brought four children with him. This light-hearted tender romance is rated R. *sequel to A Bride for Tom."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I was a little irritated by the number of times people were described as rolling their eyes, a phrase which meant something rather different until the middle of the 20th century. Still, I quite liked the characters and was pleased when Margaret decided to accept Joseph; unfortunately, the author included several pages of detailed description of what happened on Margaret and Joseph’s wedding night; it added nothing, and I skimmed most of it.
The latter part of the book has a rather silly sub-plot involving some not particularly nice people, and it felt as if the author was poking fun at caricatures. I did continue to like Margaret, and was pleased that the book stands alone despite, apparently, being a sequel. Joseph and the small boys were likeable, too. But a lot of the writing was trite, the bedroom scene was unnecessary, and the ending really didn't work.
Available free for the Kindle, so worth downloading if you want something light and undemanding. It's a novella than a novel, and I read it in a couple of hours. ( )
