A bride for keeps

What a delicious mail-order bride and marriage of convenience story! Both of those sub-genres were well pulled off, and I especially thought the emotions between Everett and Julia were authentic. There was a definite push-pull between their fears and desires and the struggle to find good balance between them. Very well done!

The twists were surprising and plentiful. This made for an entertaining story that kept me hooked throughout.

The second half of the story was delightfully faith-rich. This made me smile so much!

Julia was so relatable to me. Though I have not personally experienced what she has, I could well understand the grip of fear and how hard it is to overcome.
