How many ways can one write a mail order bride romance and how many holidays can one invent? I think this series has run its course.

What is a harvest moon and what makes it a "holiday"? Neither of these is addressed in the novel. In fact, the only two things I can remember reading about the harvest moon are that 1) it was coming up and 2) it was one of Finn's favorite times of the year (though we aren't told why).

The plot is equally uninspired. Apparently, Finn's friend Lorcan has found love with a mail order bride and desires the same for his friend, so he sends for a mail order bride for Finn--unfortunately, no one tells Finn this. So he is quite unprepared when he finds out the woman he rescued in his pumpkin patch is to be his bride--even though he already felt attraction for her.

At the same time, Finn's and Lorcan's pasts are catching up to them. There are two groups that want to find Lorcan--one hopes he'll have an idea where Brennan is and the other are Brennan's men.

The Dalton triplets seem to be at the center of most of the chaos in the town. Given their history, I have a hard time believing that their father gave them slingshots and didn't expect something to happen.

This was free at the time I got it from Amazon. ( )
