About this ebook

The arrival of Michael Bowen's bride, married sight unseen by proxy, sends the rancher reeling. With her trousers, cowboy hat and rifle, she looks like a female outlaw—not the genteel lady he corresponded with for months. He's been hoodwinked into marriage with the wrong woman!

Selina Farleigh Bowen loved Michael's letters, even if she couldn't read them herself. A friend read them to her, and wrote her replies—but apparently that "friend" left things out, like Michael's dream of a wife who was nothing like her. Selina won't change who she is, not even for the man she loves. Yet time might show Michael the true value of his unlikely wife.

Ratings and reviews

This was a delightful and totally unique romance. I loved the fact that even when Selina wasn't talking, the story was told in her style then switched back to normal when you were seeing inside Michael's head. So much fun! So why not five stars? Because the poor girl is just too short. I keep imagining a 12- year- old acting like a grownup. At six feet myself, I needed her to be taller-- even by just a few inches. Sigh.

Would to see this book made into a Hallmark movie. Funny, nail bitting, make you want to knock male love interests block off for being so stubborn and narrow minded, root for underdog, tear jerker drama.

So cute :) Easy to guess the ending, but good nonetheless!
