The Blue Willow Brides is a new series, this book being the first. I like Blue Willow and wondered how the china would tie into the book.
Catharine is fleeing Holland from a dark secret and is going to Wyoming to marry Peter as a mail-order bride. The problems arise when she arrives and has her two sisters in tow. Unaware they were coming, Peter takes it in stride and decides that the marriage will go on. His mother, however, is the epitome of a meddling mother and decides to hire a detective to look into Catharine's past to see if she is really the gold digger that she thinks she is.
Catharine is harboring a secret about her past. She keeps it from Peter and in the end, she discovers that honesty would have been her best plan. I found her secrets disturbing and was a little annoyed at her myself not only that she withheld the secret from her past, but that Peter ends up being the last to know he'll be a father. I did get past that though.
I felt bad for Peter's mother at the end. She had good intentions and got used badly by the detective. Catharine finally comes to her senses at the end, and her sisters grew on me, especially Anna. I liked the book even though when the author keeps secrets from the reader, I get annoyed. Overall, it was a pretty good read and I enjoyed the book. Good book!
