"Wonderful setting with two mature, good people learning to accept their differences."

Dr. John Calloway, chief surgeon and North-West Mountie, is horrified that his men ordered him a mail-order bride. He's angry that they dragged the poor woman across the country for nothing.

Sarah O'Neill wants a chance to start a new life, and it doesn't hurt that the opportunity comes from the part of her country where her brother had last lived. It would be wonderful to be a wife and mother and to track down her brother, Keenan.

While devastated that gorgeous John doesn't want a bride, Sarah decides to stay and find her brother. Only her reputation is shot by the unconventional circumstances and John steps in to do the right thing.

It's nice to read a romance about two mature, good people. No childishness, no temper tantrums, just some misunderstandings and learning to accept their differences. I really enjoyed this book and wish I could be friends with Sarah.
