Iโm having so much fun writing what will eventually be the 4-
book
Outlaw Mail Order
Brides series. The only hope these outlaws have in making a town where once was
their hideout was in getting wives and starting families. This series spilled over from my
Men of Legend series
when Luke Legend started his own private bride service for men and woman living in the
shadows who canโt go the normal route. Luke hand carries letters back and forth between the
couples and arranges transportation when they decide to marry.
Here are five reasons you should read a mail order bride
book: ย
- The Great Unexpected Plots really set
these books apart. Each one seems a little different somehow and thereโs always the big
question of whether they work as a couple that draws you in. Sometimes the groom dies
before the bride arrives and sheโs forced to change directions. Sometimes someone is playing
a joke on the poor groom so itโs a surprise when his bride arrives. Then there are the many,
many reasons a woman would choose to marry a man sheโs never seen. There are hundreds,
maybe thousands of variations to these stories.
- The Romance is a big draw. We just love
reading about happily ever afters. With them being strangers, the odds are stacked against
these couples from the first and they have to get acquainted before they can love.
- These bride books are the most
Entertaining of all romance I think. No matter if you
like humor, suspense, mystery, or surprises, youโre going to find it in this sub-genre. And there
are still mail order brides today. The couples meet online and the brides are usually in a
foreign country. You just never know what youโll find as strangers try to make a life together.
- The History of this practice is very
interesting and whatever part of it you use weaves its way through the story. If you can dream
it up, it really happened to someone. Following the Civil War that killed off thousands of men,
a woman didnโt have much chance of marrying, finding love, or having a family. Most of the
men were in the West so thatโs what prompted these women to leave their homes in search of
what they wanted. There is no record of how many mail order brides there were but it was a
huge number and big business for some people.
- The message of Hope these stories project
to the reader is another big reason of why you should read them. These stories show that you
have to reach for what you want, to never give up, and to carry a dream that youโll find it. Mail
order bride books can be the most satisfying of all romance.
In the second book in my series โ
Saving the Mail Order Bride
โ outlaw Jack Bowdre has been arrested and on his way to
jail in a stagecoach the marshal flags down. The only other passenger is Nora Kane who is a
mail order bride. When the coach wrecks, Jack finds himself handcuffed to Nora and on the
run with only the clothes on their backs and the posse behind. Itโs five days afoot to safety
and itโs anyoneโs guess if theyโll survive. Release date is April 30. Then watch for
Longing for a Cowboy Christmas anthology in
September where youโll find another story from my outlaw town of Hopeโs Crossing.

Romancing the West One Story at a Time
Linda Broday is a
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author and
makes her home in the Texas Panhandle on land the American Indian and Comancheros once
roamed. She is a multi-published western historical romance author who lives and breathes
cowboys and the American West way of life. Here in the panhandle it's very common to see
cowboys, they've provided lots of inspiration. There's just something about a man in tight
jeans, a Stetson and boots that gets her hot and bothered!
Linda grew up watching TV westerns back in their heyday and fell in love with the desperados,
lawmen and strong men and women who portrayed the people who settled this wild land that
offered so much opportunity for those who wanted to seek it. They taught her the values, the
strength it took to survive and the tremendous will to keep going when things got tough. She
loves writing stories about similar people who could've lived back then.
When Linda is not writing, She's scouring the internet looking for little tidbits to add depth to
my stories. She has also been accused, quite unfairly she might add, of haunting museums
and libraries. Linda's desire to keep history alive is what drives her and she can't imagine
writing anything else.
