About this ebook

 Drew Talbot made the long journey back East to bring eligible brides to Seattle, not to find one for himself. But despite his best intentions, he is captivated by the shy and somewhat clumsy Lucy Davison. He didn't mean to fall in love, and he certainly had no intention of allowing a dangerous killer to tear her from his arms. But when Lucy is the only witness to a brutal murder, the killer knows that eliminating Drew's bride is his one chance at freedom.

 

Lucy Davison left Massachusetts to find a better life and a chance at love. The Civil War took too many men, leaving women like her pining for a husband and home of her own. A trip to Washington Territory as a mail-order bride seems the only answer. The friends she makes along the way a balm to her soul, and their escort, the handsome Drew Talbot, intensely more interesting than any man she's ever met. Becoming his fiancée is a dream come true, until evil finds them.

 

Witnessing a murder is the least of Lucy's problems. Escaping a crazed killer feels like a miracle. But the true miracle in her life is one man, Drew Talbot, and the depths of love it will take to heal them both.

Having read the first book in this series, I was interested to see how Mail Order Mayhem would pan out. Rachel was the leader and Lucy her follower, so when Rachel decides that she is not going to sit around waiting for a husband to happen, she persuades Lucy to join her in answering an advertisement to apply to be part of the group of 100 brides going to Seattle. Lucy is normally a light-footed, graceful person, but for some reason in the presence of Drew Talbot she becomes clumsy and accident prone, much to his amusement. However, when Lucy witnesses a murder and becomes a victim, nothing will prevent Drew from going after her and doing everything in his power to protect her. In this sweet, clean romance the author aptly portrays the trauma experienced by a victim and Lucy's reaction to her abduction is very realistic, as is Drew's protectiveness towards her. I enjoyed this book even more than the first one, and although the two overlapped to some extent, it was nevertheless a standalone with a happy ending. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Wonderful example of Cynthia Woolf's storytelling talent. Her mail order novels are filled with laughter, tears, adventure, and suspense and Mail Order Mayhem has all this and more! I look forward to the next book in the series, Mail Order Mixup, and advise all fans of enthralling historical western romance, not to miss out on this one. I received a copy of this book from the author. All opinions expressed in this review are voluntary and entirely my own.

Drew came east to sign up 100 brides to head to Seattle and is introduced to Lucy who signs up with her friend. Really enjoyed these characters and introduction to the other brides along with the suspense to see how Lucy and Drew would cope. Good second edition to the series. Author's copy with thank . Opinions are entirely my own.

About the author

 Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of thirty-four historical western romance books and two short stories with more books on the way.

 

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. The ranch they met on is still there as part of the open space in Mineral County in southwestern Colorado.

 

She also has six scifi, space opera romance titles. She calls them westerns in space.

 

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