In this book, we get to read about Greta, who is the sister of Catharine, the heroine in the first book. Greta has lost the love of her life and has now decided that she'll try becoming a mail-order bride. It worked out for her sister, so why shouldn't she give it a shot? The last name of the man she agrees to marry attracts her interest, as it is the same as her deceased fiance. She's hoping that he might be a cousin or other relation.
When she arrives in Colorado, she finds out that not only is the groom unaware of the situation, but his brother, who was the real author of the letters, has asked two women to come and basically interview to be the bride for his brother. The women have become friends and agree to give the situation a month to work itself out.
Jess has agreed to give his brother's idea a chance, but only if his brother agrees to court the woman that he doesn't. When his brother agrees, they use an unusual method of choosing who courts whom. The problem arises when no one seems to fall in love with who they are supposed to. Afraid to hurt anyone's feelings, everyone chooses secrecy when a little honesty would go a long way!
This book has the secrets of the previous book, but it was more amusing this time. The way everyone tiptoed around each other, especially the brothers, was funny. The only problem I had with the book was that Greta never even considers the possibility that her fiance could have been the brother that Jess lost. While she believes that her fiance's family was in Wyoming, when she finds out about the death, she's not even curious about his name.
The next book in the series is about Anna, whom we see a small glimpse of in the first two books. While Catharine and Peter are mentioned a few times, I believe it would be possible to read these out of order and not be disappointed. The final book, Perfectly Matched, came out in October. I've got it on my watch list and hope to read it in the future! Good Book!
