Marrying Off Morgan McBride by Amy Barry

💖💖💖💖/5


Marrying Off Morgan McBride by Amy Barry, book two in the McBrides of Montana series, is a story between a cranky older brother who is finally done making sure his younger brothers and sisters made it through childhood, a meddling younger sister, an innocent mail-order bride and her granny. Welcome back to Buck's Creek, Montana, circa 1887. Junebug McBride is at it again, secretly placing matrimonial ads for one of her brothers in hopes of a little female help around camp. This time she's matchmaking eldest brother Morgan, a former cattle trail cowboy, who promised their dying mother he'd raise his younger siblings. Now that Kit's married and the others are older, Morgan figures he's done his time and he's stir-crazy for the independent, quiet, open trail life ASAP. Not so fast, thinks Junebug, as she poses as Morgan through written letters. Epiphany Hopgood from Nebraska is just who Junebug's wanted. Pip’s cooking skills will keep Morgan in Montana and also relieve Junebug of her hated cookhouse duties. Epiphany doesn’t consider herself the ideal woman, but she’s eager to find her own path in life. When she sees an ad for a bride, she answers the call with her grandmother in full support. Little does she know that it is Junebug she’s been speaking with via mail instead of Morgan. When Pip shows up in Montana for matrimony, a blindsided Morgan sparks with fury and possibly some interest. Pip and Morgan took a while to form a connection, other than initial lust.

 

Each McBride sibling is as different as their personalities, especially Junebug. Pip and her granny were a lot of fun; especially their interactions and spirit. Morgan was the perfect grumpy hero. All the beautiful descriptions and vivid details put me right in Buck’s Creek and surrounded by all that Montana beauty. Then there’s Junebug and all the chaos and havoc she created. She adds an additional layer and depth to the story. I recommend Marrying Off Morgan McBride to other readers and look forward to the next book in the series.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
