I read the trilogy in reverse...and still loved volume 1--Mail Order Marriages. Knowing the outcome of Sawyer & Abbey's romance, I was still in suspense as I read this section of the novel. The whole trilogy is wonderful, and leads me to believe I'll have to visit Alaska soon.

A very sweet first book in this trilogy. I really enjoy Macomber's stories -- they are entertaining, engrossing, and amusing. She paints interesting and colorful characters.

When I finished this book, I had to immediately plow through the other two books in this delightful trilogy set in Hard Luck, Alaska. I felt like I got to know all the characters, and to be honest, now that I've gone through all the books, (6 unique stories -- 2 per book) I miss reading about the folks from Hard Luck!

A truly sweet and delightful read. Highly recommended.

This was the best of the trilogy. It made me want to read the rest. Scott and Susan were very likeable characters. Sawyer and Abbey's love did seem a bit too perfect. I wish more was said about Abbey's first marriage.

My favorite of the trilogy was Charles and Lanni's story. It was the right amount of conflict/resolution. It shows that there are other factors to consider about being in love, such as how family can be affected. You root for them to overcome their problems.

I loved the two stories in this book. The heroes and heroines are warm, likeable characters. Supporting them throughout the story are the kindly, interesting people that one would meet in a remote Alaskan town. Having traveled there myself, I could picture perfectly the makeshift buildings and open tundra that made up the town of Hard Luck. The two brothers, Sawyer and Charles, were gentlemanly and honest. Their soon to be spouses also were the kind of women you would have wanted for your friends and neighbors. The two children of Abby, Susan and Scott, were absolutely delightful and added yet another charming dimension to an already heartwarming story.

Since this book has two separate stories, it is perfect for taking on a trip. With a short flight or quick soak in a tub, there is a chance to make some progress and actually finish a book.
