Patricia PacJac Caroll is a Christian romance and historical fiction author born in Dayton, The United States. She likes writing, and her main aim is to create stories that the reader can enjoy with realistic characters.

Patricia loves Western-era stories, and has become her favorite. Some of her work includes the Mail Order Bride of Hickory Stick series, American Mail-Order Brides, and Montana Brides of Solomon’s Valley series, among others.

Caroline’s Love
Caroline’s Love is the first in the Mail Order Brides of Hickory Stick series. Caroline Lovelace stares at her bruised hands, missing the days when they were soft. The war in the Northern Aggression had left her with nothing, and due to the few suitable men left and a lot of poor widows, Richmond Town had lost its impression.

Everyone is looking for a husband, and with few good men left, some women will have to search outside the town. This leads to Caroline answering an ad to become a mail-order bride after her father dies.

She had no option but to leave her homeland and board a train reluctantly to Hickory Stick, Colorado; after all, she had fallen in love with Thomas’s letters. Rumors have it that the Hickory Stick town was named by miners digging gold in the area. She’s so happy that soon she’ll have the title of Mrs. Thomas J. Connors, and she will not starve anymore.

However, while on the train, she talks with a lady and hears her mention the name of the same man she’s going to meet, and she is shocked. The lady is named Julia Brooks and appears to have a letter from the same man as Caroline.

In addition to their surprise, they meet Sarah Graham from New York City, who also claims she is on her way to Hickory Stick to meet Thomas J. Connors. The only thing Caroline thinks at this point is war. What will a man do with three women?

Only Caroline and Sarah were invited to visit, and the third one decided to come after she saw information about Thomas. Instead of competing for the same man, they develop a plan for retribution.

It becomes a mystery when a woman is killed, and the killer isn’t found. Sarah is also attacked by someone at the boarding house and wonders if it could be the same person.

Thomas planned to get a wife for himself and his brother; he placed an ad for himself, wishing to surprise his brother once the brides arrived. After realizing his plan, he’s surprised when he gets three suitable brides who don’t want anything to do with him.

Thomas wasn’t aware of the third bride in the mix he didn’t invite in the first place. The three brides don’t take his actions so well and feel he manipulated them. They agree to join forces and look for other husbands in the town just that it will not be Thomas.

The sheriff appears to be interested in Sarah, but she isn’t interested in him at that time. Sarah breaks the women’s agreement and goes to Thomas, requesting him to make her his bride. However, Thomas turns her down, informing her that his heart belongs to Caroline. At this point, a war between Sarah and Caroline breaks, meaning they would live in peace anymore.

The premise of the story is unique, and the writing flows smoothly. It’s so amazing how even though the three ladies traveled to the same place to meet the same man, they became united despite their different origins.

The characters are so real, especially how they interact with men and among themselves. The story shows how some women can be cunning behind their backs, especially when they think one is doing wrong.

It also shows that even though love can be instant, it takes time for it to grow while fighting against all inevitable things on the way. The characters are likable and enjoyable, giving a great storyline.

The story is filled with romance, intrigue, and suspense to keep the reader engaged. It’s a story about mail-order brides that go slightly wrong but in a humorous way. All the shenanigans that go on after the brides arrive in the town are funny.

Patricia shares heartfelt emotions with some truth sprinkled in the characters’ lives. All three women have different personalities, and the author allows the reader to learn about their past. The novel also shows how God forgives one’s past mistakes. The mail-order brides traveled to a strange land to meet men, but their faith in God helped them.

The Judge’s Bride
The Judge’s Bride is the first in the Montana Brides of Solomon’s Valley series. Rachel Dowd lost her husband in a farm accident and later lost their house to the bank. The Townspeople wanted her to give out her ten children to families who needed them and had an income to raise them.

Being forced out of her home, she had nowhere else to go but kept having faith in God. Left with ten children to raise on her own, she decides to sign up to become a mail-order bride. She got the only response from a wealthy judge and rancher, Solomon Taggert.

Solomon is her only hope for keeping her family together. Solomon knew that Rachel had children but didn’t know how many because he didn’t ask. At first, she’s too scared to let him know how many children she has but later remembers that the judge said he was good with the children.

It’s her job to prepare all the children and make them walk to Solomon’s Valley in Montana, where they wish to start afresh with their potential husbands. Solomon was aware that Rachel had children, but he didn’t know how many they were.

Solomon was a pillar in the town since there was no sheriff, and it was running out of control due to a family feud. When Rachel’s children get involved in the feud, the judge has to devise a great plan to solve the whole issue.

They’re both widows and need each other. Can they have a future together? Can Rachel and Solomon start afresh in marriage? Rachel feels she should verify Solomon first before wedding him.

It’s a story showing the hard choices people had to make in the west. The book is filled with hope, hate, love, fear, feuds, and life. It’s a sweet historical romance story giving the characters a second chance to find love.
