Amid the aftermath of the Civil War, Georgie O'Rourke, the last surviving member of her family, decides her only choice is to leave her beloved state of Tennessee by answering a mail-order bride advertisement. With only a few items of rag, like clothing, she travels the Southwest Trail by covered wagon to meet up with her groom in Texas.
Captain Parker Eastman, formally of the Confederate Army, travels from his cattle ranch to the Southwest Trail to intercept a woman his mother hired as a companion. He soon finds out that Georgie traveled to Texas to become his wife. Duty-bound to make right on his mother's promise of marriage, he marries the Southern belle. But she is unlike any pampered woman he'd ever known. She was a survivor and did what needed to be done to make a future for herself.
Reconstruction in the South is anything but peaceful. Anger and hatred are harbored on both sides. Fear and violence become the norm. People are no longer the same as they were before the war. Upon arriving at the ranch, Parker leaves Georgia in the hands of his mentally unstable mother in order to address land grabbers.
Mother Eastman thinks that Georgie is to blame for everything that was lost in the war, leaving Georgie beaten and broken.
Can Parker find the wife he'd come to love and admire beneath the terrified and untrusting woman she'd become?
This historical western romance is full of twists, suspense, and amazing romance.

Fantastic book. It was filled with twists and turns I never saw coming. The writing is excellent. The characters are very well developed and some are a bit...insane. Loved the story and how things played out. I look forward to more in the series!

The narration was perfect, with the exception of one technical blip in the recording.

**Spoiler warning** As for the story, the premise of the book sounded interesting, but it definitely fell short. There was a lot of violence toward the female protagonist from nearly every male in the book, as well as from Parker's mother. I found it disturbing that nearly every male character was portrayed as lecherous and perverted, and there were at least four characters that either wanted to or tried to rape Georgie. I also find it hard to believe that Parker would have so grievously misjudged one of the characters, when, according to the book, he had known him for a long time and worked alongside him in the Confederate army, and especially after his behavior towards Georgie in the woods. I felt like the part with him leaving his new wife alone with a few men and his mother was very contrived and not realistic at all. The parts that followed were even more so, with the violence from one of the men and Parker's mother. I can somewhat understand his mother's insanity, but how did this seemingly normal man suddenly turn into a depraved lunatic? I felt like it was over the top and unnecessary, and I don't see how anyone in their right mind could stay with a man after he had let that happen. I also felt like she recovered from the whole ordeal way too easily and quickly. I was hoping that the rest of the book would get better, but sadly, it did not. As I said, the dialogue as well as the situations in the book all felt stilted and contrived.The author definitely needs to work on her writing.
Disappointing
