I really enjoyed this story so much that I didn’t want it to end. The author writes with a flare of humor in this story. Priscilla is a sweet young lady who finds herself on a train to Texas to get a husband. Life sure will be different for her once she hits her destination. I laughed as she realizes that the man she is to marry doesn’t even know about her. On my does Priscilla have a few surprises in store for her.

Quincy is a very accomplished chef who works at the hotel Priscilla will be staying at. He has no idea what a few people have schemed behind his back. They think it’s time he remarries but is he ready ? I adored his daughter Rayne and she stole the spotlight in this story. She adores her dad and loves being around her dad as he cooks but wants a mother so bad. She is not shy at all and talks day and night. I would love to be around her just because of her energy. The story made me hungry as we read about different dishes being made. Poor Priscilla doesn’t know how to cook, so maybe this will be a great match for her and Quincy.

I couldn’t wait to see how Quincy and Priscilla interact with each other. They develop a friendship as he teaches her how to cook. I cheered when she made her first biscuit. I have not accomplished that yet. I don’t cook and really don’t know how to. I’m blessed that my husband is a wonderful man who loves to cook. The chemistry between Quincy and Priscilla is not rushed and I like that in the story. The author develops her characters in a way that gives us a glimpse of their heart. It is a clean read with Biblical references that allow faith to guide our characters. I enjoyed reading a lighter and more humorous story than the author usually writes. It shows her talent and gives me another series to look forward to. As always her story helps me grow closer to God as the lesson is trusting God and enjoying the love of a family.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. ( )

Imagine being a young woman whose father dies, and then your mother tells you-you are going to be a mail-order bride. Priscilla finds herself in exactly that position. Quincy is a chef at the Lowell Hotel in Texas. I love the twists and turns this book takes about other arranging a marriage for a widower with a young daughter.

Charity provides the perfect character to set up her chef. The friendship between Charity’s daughter and Quincy’s daughter brings this book to life. The two girls add a spark of interest to this story. The relationships between the character along with the pacing and storyline bring this book to life. I felt satisfied by the ending and look forward to reading the next book in this series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own. ( )
