Melody doesn't seem like the kind of practical woman he's interested in marrying, and Melody isn't happy about the way he keeps insulting her. He's sure that his mother will try to set him and Melody up next. Gabe, the older brother of the man she was supposed to marry, reluctantly helps her. It's not really his fault – he had no idea his mother had been corresponding with a mail-order bride for him – but now Melody is stuck with no place to stay, very little money, and no job. However, when she got there she learned that the man she thought she'd be marrying had fallen in love with someone else. Melody traveled to Montana with the intention of marrying the man whose mail-order bride ad she'd answered. The first two stories both include a "heroine inherits a lot of money and a man from her past chases after her" subplot, and both of them handle it in pretty much the same way. I was a little surprised at how repetitious the stories felt, considering there were only three of them. I wanted to see how the various authors would handle the subject. The mail-order marriages aspect immediately appealed to me and was the reason why I bought this book. As you can probably tell from the title and cover, they're historical romances featuring mail-order brides. Mail Order Marriages is a Harlequin Historical containing three short stories set in various places in America during the latter half of the 19th century.
