BOOK REVIEW- THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

 
Rancher Jared Callahan eagerly awaited the arrival of his mail-order bride. But instead of the kindhearted woman who wrote about escaping her constrained city life, the beauty who arrived in his remote frontier town couldn't remember anything. Not him, not their long-distance courtship, not even her own name. What is he going to do with this petite spitfire? 
Dazed and confused from a railway accident, Rebecca Layne finds herself saying "I do" to the handsome stranger who claims to be her betrothed. But as feelings for Jared blossom, the mysteries of her past threaten to unravel her life at the seams. Only when the truth is finally revealed can this marriage of  convenience ever become a true union of love.   AMAZON  ~~



Its a sweet story although somewhat predictable for the most part.    Jared was easy to relate to,  he had a hard time talking to women.  He also desired his ranch to become a home and have a family. That made him a person that it was easy to be sympathetic to.   He also needed help to run his growing ranch, he could no  longer go it alone.   At first I had a hard time liking Rebecca because of her often uppity attitude with Jared.  But I also had to take into account her whole life had been flipped upside down and she didn't even have the balance of knowing who she is.   There were other good secondary people in the story, good ones who proved to be helpful to Jared.    There is still the mystery of who Rebecca really is but it all gets solved with a HEA ending.
