OVERVIEW:
Kit McBride knows that Buck’s Creek, Montana, is no place to find a wife. Between him and his three brothers—plus little Junebug—they manage all right on their own, thank you very much. But unbeknownst to Kit, his sister is sick to death of cleaning, cooking, and mending for her big brothers, so she places an ad in The Matrimonial News to get them hitched.

After Maddy Mooney emigrated from Ireland, she found employment with an eccentric but poor widow. When her mistress decides to answer an ad for a mail-order bride, Maddy is dragged along for the ride to Montana. But en route to the West, Maddy is suddenly abandoned and left to assume the widow’s name, position, and matrimonial prospects….

With no other recourse in the wilderness, Maddy must convince Kit she’s the wife he never knew he needed.

Kit McBride Gets a Wife by Amy Barry Review

This story had me shaking my head and slowing my roll a few times with the old west style speak, but I quickly settled in for a humorous take on an old style romance.

With the West getting settled, it can be tough to find a woman looking to stay in questionable situations but when little sister takes things into her own hands the fun begins.

Barry took some artistic liberties but crafted a delightful story that makes it a tough book to put down. The descriptions of Junebug and her crazy antics and mouth made this story for me. She loves winding up her brothers and with good reason!

Kit and Maddy are well developed and well matched. Their slow-burn romance was just perfect. The other brothers and secondary characters are dynamic and made this story well-rounded and easy to read. Their characters are going to be a treat to read about in future stories I am sure!

For a crazy ride and all-around fun story, you need to grab this one. The Wild Wild West comes to life! Humorous and a tad crazy.

4 SUPER STARS!
