Summary: Very enjoyable!
Review: 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.

Summary: Nice Romances
Review: As is the case for most of her books, this is a great two-story book about the romances of two confirmed bachelors in Alaska. The townsfolk are charming and the stories are sweet. The brothers own a fleet of small plans that fly prople and freight to the most inaccessible parts of the huge state of Alaska. The men in their employ are leaving because they are so remote, they can't have relationships with women so that they can pick brides. So one of the brothers decides that they need to bring women to the town so that the men will stay and their business will be secure. Little do they know that they are the ones who will be shot by cupid's arrow as the women appear in town! If you like romance novels that are chaste and charming this book is for you. If you want sizzling passion, look elsewhere. This is a book your daughters and sons can read.

Summary: Delightful!
Review: Heartwarming stories about how brothers who lived in a very remote area of Alaska find their love with women form the "lower forty-eight" by offering them a job and a home. I just can't wait to read the next Mid-night Sons Story.

Summary: Too naive, too predictable
Review: I had read This Matter of Marriage and loved it, that's why a bought the Midnight Sons series. Boy was I ever so disappointed! The characters are sketchy at best, everybody is just plain good, not an ounce of meanness in them. They just fall in love at first sight, I mean the ones who should, and everybody else just cheers. Nobody is heartbroken for more than a few lines, nobody is jealous, everybody is friendly, generous and understanding. Even for fiction it's too much.

Summary: Perfect Summer Reading
Review: 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.

Summary: Even in reverse
Review: 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.

Summary: 2 full length romances in one volume
Review: MAIL-ORDER MARRIAGES - Debbie Macomber The mostly male population of Hard Luck, Alaska, is about to
swell -- because the O'Halloran brothers, who run a bush-plane
charter service called Midnight Sons, have launched a campaign
to bring women to their hometown.
"Brides for Brothers" Sawyer O'Halloran is not entirely in favor of his brothers'
scheme. He considers himself immune to the charms of any
woman -- until Abbey Sutherland shows up in Hard Luck, anxious
to start over, and with two adorable kids in tow! "The Marriage Risk" Charles O'Halloran falls hard for Lanni Caldwell. Though he's
not the marrying kind, she might just convince him to risk
taking the leap. Then he discovers she's the granddaughter of
the man who DESTROYED his parents' marriage.

Summary: Alaska and MacOmber are a good combination
Review: This book is a compilation of three of the books that introduced this series. The stories are typical MacOmber--people of interest, a little complex but people we would enjoy knowing. And guess what, they aren't rich. The portrayal of Alaska is vivid. An enjoyable read.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent read
Review: 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.
