More from Jodie

I’ve always been fond of reading mail-order bride books. Not that I would have ever had the courage to do something so brave. 🙂 But it’s fun writing and reading them. I also love perusing historical journal entries of women who decided to marry a complete stranger. Sometimes it worked out great, other times, not so much. In most cases, the heroine traveled across country to arrive in the west to meet her potential groom. Often they had no idea what each other looked like before they met for the first time. Not that looks matter.

At times the woman was given the opportunity to get to know the fella for a while before they actually married. Other times, they tied the knot as soon as the potential wife arrived at their destination. Some women fled desperate situations in the east, hoping for a better outcome only to find themselves embroiled in another bad position. All of the different scenarios I’ve read about helped to prime the pump for Protecting Annie.

In book one of my Burrton Springs Brides series, Taming Julia, I had the heroine’s brother, Josh set Jules (Julia) up as a mail-order bride. As I was writing that story, I knew it would be fun to change things up in book two and have Jules return the favor by ordering a mail-order bride for Josh. That’s the premise for this new story. Josh isn’t exactly thrilled to learn of his sister’s interference in his life and decision to remain single.

I hope you’ll enjoy the story of two unlikely people who are thrown together.

My Review

Protecting Annie is the second installment from the Burrton Springs Brides series by Jodie Wolfe. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to read a new author to me. I thought it was a pretty good read. It has a lot that I enjoy in a book, such as, history, mystery, and sweet romance. I loved the chemistry between Joshua and Annie. The story is slightly predictable but still so good to read. 

Protecting Annie is getting four and a half stars from me. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean historical romantic suspense. I look forward to reading the third installment from the Burrton Springs Brides. While I wait for its release, I will be reading the first book from the series, Taming Julia. 

I received a digital copy of Protecting Annie from the publisher but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
