The Blizzards Brides
The Blizzards Brides is the debut in the series by the same name. It’s a survival story partially based on real-life events in Nebraska in the 1800s. Heather and other women in the town are mail-ordered brides, and their husbands went on a hunting quest leaving their families to look and provide for themselves.
Many people in the town of Last Chance, Nebraska, are running out of meat for the winter season ahead, so most of the men go out to hunt for buffalo. They expect to be gone for about a week and then come back to the town with enough meat for everyone.

Heather’s husband leads the hunt while his wife is left to take care of their home. She also acted as a midwife helping the town’s women give birth. One morning, the temperature starts to drop, and a snowstorm blows in, trapping everyone in the place they were.

Their time for coming back is almost due when a hazardous blizzard descends on the town, bringing tragedy to the people. The town’s sheriff rides out to recover the bodies of the group of hunters who got caught up in the Blizzard. Due to the second Blizzard, the sheriff and his men never returned.

The town’s arrogant pastor takes matters into his hands and dictates the terms to the surviving widows. After the hunters’ deaths and other people, who the Blizzard caught up, the mail order brides are left with no husbands. The mail-order brides are told that either they remarry or leave the town.

As they were getting used to the changes in their lives so quickly, they came together and wrote an advertisement for Matrimonial Times. The husbands are supposed to help them rebuild the town. The Blizzard changed everything for the people in the town, especially the women left with no husbands.

These women didn’t know that choosing a husband was more challenging than they thought when they got an overwhelming response to the ad. Can these ladies find suitable husbands and get a second chance in love?

The characters are engaging, and the story is both tragic and frightening. The story is informative and heart-wrenching in how it demonstrates the tenacity and strength of the women. It’s a great story with enjoyable characters that sets a pace for the entire series.
A Bride for Jeremiah
Esther Thompson desires to have a husband of her own and a home. However, as she nears thirty, she can see slim chances. All this goes on until she loses her position as a governess after the children she teaches go off to boarding school when she decides to become a mail-order bride.

After losing her family in a fire, she had no one to call family, but now that her services are no longer needed, she goes to her pastor to look for a new job.

Jeremiah Price has a broken heart, five children, and a farm to look after the death of his wife. Left in this kind of situation, he’s desperate to get a wife to help her with the tasks. Three successive brides decline him because of his large family, and this time he has insisted on a proxy marriage, and no matter what happens, he needs the fourth to stay with him.

After Jeremiah and Esther finally meet, none of them is what the other thought but hopes they can be the right choice for each other. After losing her job, her pastor comes up with the idea of her becoming a proxy bride to a man with two children who had recently lost his wife. However, she finds out that the man has five children and is still mourning his wife, and doesn’t appear to have moved on yet.

After losing his wife, Jeremiah feels destroyed, and he finds it hard to love again, which leaves Esther feeling sorry for him. Even after his brother tells him how amazing Esther his new bride is, he remains unyielding. Esther believes that time can be a great healer and hopes things will work out well. Can she win her husband’s affection in the end?

Esther is a woman with a mind of her own she was good with the children but seemed to keep her distance from her husband. She’s so kind and amazing with the kids, and raising five kids isn’t for the faint-hearted, but she jumps in so well. Even though Jeremiah is still in love with his dead wife, he tries to make Esther feel welcome in her new home.

Esther was looking for a loving family to call her own until Jeremiah told her that theirs was a marriage of convenience. A Bride for Jeremiah is a delightful novel about two hurting people who have to figure out how to stay married.
