Family Lessons (Mills & Boon Love Inspired Historical) (Orphan Train, Book 1)

The overall story was good, but a little slow. It had a good start and I was excited to see Daisy and Everett butt heads, and they do have some good scenes together. So, while it was a pleasant story I was kind of left feeling like nothing much really happened. It's a fun read if you're looking for a nice western setting romance. Received review copy from publisher in exchange for honest review. Daisy has wanted to have a place of her own for a long time and when her father wins a building in a card game she is excited to begin her new life.

What she did not expect was to have a grouchy neighbor who due to a innocent scandal becomes her husband. Everett only plans to stay in town long enough to let the problems from his past settle. When Daisy sweeps in and intrudes on his quite life he is not sure what to do. Then he finds himself married to her.

Can they find love in this untradition Daisy has wanted to have a place of her own for a long time and when her father wins a building in a card game she is excited to begin her new life. Can they find love in this untraditional marriage? This book was okay. It was a quick read and the story was interesting. I liked both Daisy and Everett.

I also thought the plot was fun. What I did not like: The romance was so so. They disliked each other quite a bit at first and then they where married and it just seemed like the story was missing something in this area. Over all I liked the book but it could have used a little more plot development at the end. This is the 2nd book in the series but can easily be read as a stand alone. Daisy's father won a piece of property in Turnabout through a poker match.

Daisy claims the deed and makes her way to Turnabout to setup a restaurant and create a home for herself. The property is a bit rundown, but a little hard work will go a long way. Daisy's building neighbor, Everett, is startled by this new townswoman. He's routine has been interrupted by Daisy, but he can't decide if this interruption is a bother or a possible blessing.

The Bride Next Door is the second book in the series Daisy's father won a piece of property in Turnabout through a poker match.

The couple from the previous story as well as other community members make appearances throughout the story. Book two focuses on Daisy and Everett with glimpses as the other characters. Daisy and Everett is a story about opposites. Everett wants to move and Daisy wants to set down roots. Daisy wants a family and community involvement while Everett would be comfortable cutting ties and keeping people and God as acquaintances. As their friendship grows they see each others' strengthens as well as ways to help each other.

A stiff friendship grows to appreciation and love.

Thank you, Harlequin Love Inspired! The Bride Next Door was an easy read with good characters and a nice story. I did find it a little frustrating how the teaser scene at the front of the book didn't happen until well over halfway through the story. I did like the ending and how things turned out.

Parts of the romance story were really sweet, which was nice. All in all, a good historical rom Review on Amazon: All in all, a good historical romance.

I loved Daisy and her completely optimistic view of life, even though she came from a difficult and dysfunctional background. Everett was severe and unbending- he too having a less than ideal life. I loved how they were able to find their true selves even with all the challenges of being forced to change their plans and goals.
