About this ebook

New York Governess Victoria Coleman survives an attack but finds herself in a family way. When her employer finds out, the kind man tells her she is safe there. But his wife has other ideas. Believing her husband is the child’s father, she threatens Victoria. Needing to escape, Victoria becomes a mail-order bride as far away as possible—Golden City in the Colorado Territory.

Andrew Mayfield is consumed with guilt over the death of his wife and infant son in childbirth six months ago but knows that his two-year-old daughter needs a mother and he needs to marry to provide her one. He contracts for a mail-order bride.

But vengeance is a dish best served cold and the woman determined to see Victoria’s baby dead and therefore Victoria herself, is an iceberg. Refusing to believe her husband or Victoria, Mildred Thomas follows Victoria to Golden City. Will she be able to exact her revenge for a perceived wrong? Or will Andrew be able to protect the woman who might be working her way into his heart?

I love Ms. Woolf's books she has yet to disappoint me. This book is about a governess who gets attacked by her best friend's husband and winds up pregnant. Unfortunately, the loony lady that she works for thinks the baby is her husband's and will go to any lengths to protect her daughter's inheritance. The husband puts Victoria in touch with a mail order bride service and soon she is on her way to a new life with a new husband. However her new husband to be does not know the entire story. Victoria only has so long to get Andrew and his little girl to accept and love her, before she adds another child into the mix, plus the new family must deal with the loony lady that Victoria used to work for. This all makes for an entertaining read. This book may not be very long, but I guarantee that there is a lot packed into those pages. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A Husband for Victoria (Brides of Golden City Book 1) by Cynthia Woolf. Great story to a new series! Well written and well excuted. The storyline flows seamlessly and effortlessly. The characters are flawed, engaging and believable for the era. Victoria Coleman and Andrew Mayfield, Andrew's small child, Suse, make a flawed but entertaining couple. Mail order bride, danger, secrets, betrayal, angst, turmoil, a female villain, suspense and love makes a great story

With her life under threat, Victoria escapes the city and flees to Golden City, Colorado where she becomes the wife of Andrew Mayfield. The grieving widower is upfront about his inability to ever love another woman, but unfortunately, Victoria is a little less than forthcoming about her condition. Therefore, when the truth emerges, Andrew is understandably disappointed at having been hoodwinked, but when he weighs the matter up, he realises that Victoria is the mother his daughter needs and is, in fact, a good, nurturing woman. Andrew is a kind, strong hero, a family man at heart and although disappointed when Victoria tells him about the difficulties she finds herself in, is nevertheless respectful of her and gentle. Victoria is a feisty heroine, willing to pitch her weight in and do whatever is needed, thereby winning the affection of those around her, as is evidenced when trouble comes to Golden City. This mail-order Western romance has some suspense, is generally well written and comes to a fulfilling conclusion. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

About the author

Cynthia Woolf is the award-winning and best-selling author of forty-six historical western romance books and two short stories with more books on the way. She has also published six sci-fi, space opera romances, which she calls westerns in space. Along with these books she has also published four boxed sets of her books.

Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia's father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now) not the ranch owner.

Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and her great critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.
