Historical romance and a touch of danger and mystery! I was new to Melissa Jagears' books when I started A Bride In Store, I had heard a lot of good things about them and I found that it lived up to it in every way. I fell in love with with all things historical as a small child and over the years I have become a bit of a stickler, holding historical fiction to a high standard. A Bride In Store lived up to that standard, it wasn't just a sweet little historical but had some very fascinating history in it as well. I had no idea that Five and Dime stores had been around so long and that many of our modern marketing practices date back to the Woolworth 5¢ stores. I enjoyed the history but I also became friends with the characters as I spent the hours reading their story. Their highs and lows became my own for awhile and I became quite involved, applauding them and shaking my head by turns. There is even a dash of danger and intrigue. You'll have to read the book to find out what a train robbery, stolen property, a lonely woman, and a table of broken dishes all have in common. Melissa Jagears has written engaging characters and interesting situations that pull you right into the story. A Bride In Store is a must read for historical and mail-order-bride fiction fans! (I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own.)

A Bride In Store is the first novel I have read by author Melissa Jeagers. Mabie it's because I didn't read the first book in this series, I don't know but this one looked so much better than it actually was. The story seemed long and overly complicated. Some parts were boring and I got slightly mad at Eliza and Will for not admitting their feelings for each other and for obsessing over their problems so much. All in all I liked this book, but I didn't love it. It held my interest for the most part and had a surprising twist, but it's not one that will stand out in my memory. * I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.

Eliza is not having a good day. She is a mail-order bride and had decided to meet her future husband early. But the train she is on is robbed and she loses all of her inheritance. It’s the money that she was going to use to invest in her husband’s store. She receives a nice gash to the face as well and inadvertently meets her new associate when he stitches up her face. Her husband, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found. I’ve enjoyed every one of Melissa Jagears books and this one was no exception. I enjoyed the interaction between the couple. The message of grace that is woven throughout the story is prominent without being pushy or preachy. The full of life characters definitely add to the plot. There is heartbreak and sacrifice, but the overall theme is redeeming. If taken to heart, this book can help you grow in your Christian walk as well as entertain you. I can’t wait to read her next book. I received this book free of charge from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review.
