Daniel
Weaver was ready for a wife. His three older brothers had been married for
several years and now it was his turn. So, like his brothers Arlan, Benjamin
and Calvin, he sends for a mail-order bride, with a little help from their
cousin Matthew of course. After all, he helped his brothers write their letters
to their prospective brides, so why not him? But when the letter from his bride
comes, it’s got more than her acceptance of his proposal written in it. Worse,
it gets picked up and read by the town’s worst gossip, Nellie Davis.
Ebba
Knudson can’t figure out why folks in her intended’s town of Nowhere would be
giving her such odd looks. It was bad enough she had other things to deal with
by coming to the Washington territory to marry a farmer, but now this? Was
there something wrong with her future husband? Or just with her? Of which she
knew there was plenty. Enough to make her think she might not get married at
all…
Enjoy
this sweet, historical, western romance and the first book in this laugh out
loud new series!
Dear Mr. Weaver starts in an unusual way; not with either of the main
characters, but in than Pettigrew mail-order bride office; where Mrs. Pettigrew
is telling Fantine Le Blanc about her business and how working for her will
change her life dramatically. She starts by telling her the story of the
Weavers….this is their story.
Ebba Knudsen is alone in the world and in 1876 Denver, there is not
many choices for a single women. Which is how she found herself at Pettigrew
Mail-order bride agency. And even though Ebba had her doubts, Mrs Pettigrew
said that she had the ideal husband for her, a Mr. Weaver, a farmer in the
small town of Nowhere in the Washington Territory.
After a letter back from Daniel Weaver, Ebba made her to Nowhere, but
little did she know just what was in store for her! Or what one harmless
comment Mrs. Pettigrew added to her letter, could cause such a scandal!
I absolutely love Mail-order bride books! So when I saw Dear. Mr
Weaver, I just knew I had to get my hands on it. And it if I suppose my
expectations, in every aspect of the book. The writing was super line, and the
plot inspired.
But I think the most enjoyable part for me was the characters. I
absolutely loved Eva's character I love the way that a young women, who was
raised by newly emigrated Swedish couple, that sadly died; had the gumption to
become a mail order bride! I also enjoyed Daniel love for Ebba and the fact that he wanted a educated wife, not just a slave, but one that could also be independent.
I loved every part of this book, especially when Nellie was hauled into
court! This is why I'm giving Dear Mr Weaver 5 stars! And can't wait for the
next installment from the Pettigrew Mail-order bride agency!
“Do
you have a list for me?” he quickly interjected.
“Certainly
– why else would I be here?” She reached into her reticule to pull out her
list.
Matthew
turned and scrambled up a ladder to fetch something from a high shelf. “Just
set it on the counter next to Daniel’s. I’ll get to it in a minute.”
“Oh,
all right.” She set it down, then glanced at Daniel’s list – and spotted the
envelope underneath it. “Has your cousin heard anything from his prospective
bride?” she inquired innocently.
“Yes,
as a matter of fact he did,” Matthew called down as he rifled through a stack
of boxes on the shelf.
“Is
that so?” she said as she deftly extracted the letter from beneath the list.
She suppressed a rush of excitement by biting her lip. “And has he read it?”
“Yes,
ma’am, he has.”
“What
did she say?”
“That’s
my cousin’s business. You’ll have to ask him.”
“Of
course.” She quickly slid the letter out of its envelope.
“Why,
Nellie!” Betsy Quinn called from the hall. “How are you?”
Nellie
did what any self-respecting gossip would do – she stuffed the letter into her
reticule. “Betsy! How nice to see you..."
