A Bride for McCain (Historical, 502)

Rating:
Summary: Delightful!
Review: 1876 Sacramento, California and Prosperity, Colorado

Rough and gruff mine owner, Ross McCain wanted the children of Prosperity to have something he didn't have despite his success of operating flourishing mines. That was knowing how to read and to have an education. Lonely and desperate Jessica Tierney wanted the freedom to choose her own lifestyle and the frantic Jessica didn't deter the misunderstanding that lead Ross to believe she was Prosperity's newly obtained school teacher. Ross didn't want Jessica to know his secret of being illiterate as well as lonely, so can these two mismatched individuals possibly provide what the other needs?

An enjoyable quick and easy read.

Summary: Wow! What a first work!
Review: After reading A Bride for McCain, I have two questions for Mary Burton, when is your next novel coming out, and will there be sequel? This book is full of characters I want to know. The main characters are richly drawn and the minor characters are written to weave well within the story line. The women are strong and the men are sensitive, yet written to the time period. Jessica, the main character, is a modern day heroine with a big problem. McCain is full of condradictions, all good. I loved it!

Review: This is a romance novellette with everything the romantic of heart could want. A cowboy, a heroine, a small town in the west, a needy child and a wonderful and warm love story. It is about love and trust and how it is sometimes hard to make the two go hand in hand. The hero is a hard man that needs softening and a desperate young woman that needs to learn how to have faith in people again. I really loved this book and read it in one sitting. It is the first and so far only book I have found by Mary Burton so I hope we will see more of her writing in the future.
