It wasn't terrible, I think I was bored? even if the abbreviated title spells tits! I kept thinking about how mail-order spouse is like the juiciest idea. Alas, it wasn't as exciting as it had the potential to be. YMMV, though!

Annnnd a white man at one point lived with and "looks like" and sometimes "acts like" an Indigenous person and then he reintegrates into "civilized" society.

I'll always love the stunning cover, though. So that's something.

It was such a complicated story, the heroine got on my nerves. ( )

I really enjoyed only one or two books from Johanna Lindsey. And this one is quite a nice read, even though it isn't my favourite.

Sharisse is going to marry Joel, a husband her father has chosen for her. She is not really interested in him, so when she discovers that her younger sister is deeply in love with Joel, she decides to help them. The decides to leave the house in New York and go to Arizona as an mail-ordered bride for Lucas Holt. Her new fiancé is definitely more than she imagined.

I liked Sharisse who is not your average weak and silly heroine. She can fight for herself and she knows what she wants. And I liked Lucas who cares about her from the beginning.

What I didn't like is that both, Sharisse and Lucas, cheated on each other in some way. All in all, it is a rather nice read. ( )

The first third of Tender Is the Storm with its mail-order bride theme, was pretty entertaining and easy reading. Then the whole plot twist with the "hero" as his own twin, really made the story tank for me. He was such a jerk (alpha-a-hole) and the heroine must have left her brain cells back East, since she couldn't tell he was one and the same. Of course, the pathologically lying hero does not tell the heroine the truth about much of anything until the very end of the story. 2/5 stars ( )

Touching story. I just love this book. 5 stars! I would recommend. ( )
