Description As Books Duncan's Bride (Patterson-Cannon Family #1)
3.5 StarsI liked it. Not Howard's best but still enjoyable.
However, the story itself is hardly believable.
(view spoiler)[What is it with authors and thirty-year-old virgins?
This is my fourth read this month with a thirty-ish virgin.
Am I supposed to believe that a rich, upper-class, beautiful, smart, educated, virgin heroine from New York City leaves everything behind and moves to the country because she fell in love after a few exchanged sentences? (hide spoiler)]

I really like this book. I love the mail order bride theme. The characterization of both the hero and the heroine are very full and complete. LH is a prime example of showing not telling. By the actions and words of the characters you know who they are. Reece is embittered and needs Maddie to help him live again. Maddie is a very different character. I love the way she seems to stroll through life while really getting a lot of stuff done. Her calm nonchalant character is very different from mostKNOCKED OUT!This is a 5++++++++++++++ rating book.Absolutely wonderful awesome heart warming emotional read.Loved Reese-Maddie both are cute adorable caring strong intelligent characters,Reese is a man full of integrity and his ranch is his pride and when that pride was attacked and half snatched he was filled with bitterness but Maddie came into his life and completely healed him though it took some time but he did came to his senses Reese-Maddie's are now on my top 10 favourite couples

I Liked it,Yes. But I did not love it. I was initially impressed with the writing style and the happy-go-lucky type h, She was strong, stubborn and has her mind set on all good things, I was jealous of the H's ex-wife myself, I expected the h to be aswell instead she felt sorry that he could not move on. Oh Well, She has a Big heart all right.Now, you must be wondering if the h was so good why such mediocre rating? Credits our H, I don't think he has any positive, appreciable traits in him, He
3.5 stars rounded upDuring Howard-fest-month last year (thank you, Kathy), I didn't bother with Duncan's Bride - uber-Alpha-male orders mail-order bride around? So not me. Well, big mistake. Big. Huge.Let's hear it for the mail-order bride with a mind of her own. And a few extra cheers for her getting her good-humoured way without making it into a battle of the sexes.
I fully expected Duncan's Bride to be one of those weepy, Hallmark, watch the dove fly into the sunset and wipe away a tear kind of book. Sweet and schmaltzy. Hell on wheels NO! Madelyn is a kick-asss, spine of steel heroine that made laugh out loud. I want to be her. Madelyn, her reactions as well as her actions to Reese and her circumstances are the primary reasons to read this. The steamy sex doesn't hurt. Not overly explicit but hot.Reese is an emotionally and financially bankrupt Wyoming
Kudos to this book because it's set back in the 80's and it mentions electric typewriters and people still communicate via mail. Lol. But I've NEVER been so upset with a book character before!!! EVER!!! Reese was so stubborn. Ugh. Nevertheless, this was an adorable book!! I. Must. Read. The. Follow up.
