The bigger they are the harder they fall -- well it fits all
three grooms to be in this trilogy based on the practice of
procuring a bride by mail. Each bride travels great
distances usually winding up in areas that are rougher than
expected filled with the hope of marriage to a good man, a
home and family and if love happens -- well.
In Rocky Mountain Wedding Melody Pennington is
stranded in a small mountain town. Her intended fell in love
with someone no longer needing a mail-order bride. To make
matters worse -- if possible -- older brother Gabriel keeps
popping up trying to help. Although his offers seemed
sincere, Melody questioned his motives. Gabe, suspicious of
any woman who would offer herself to a stranger was
undeniably attracted to Melody but his actions toward her
were uncharitable. To Gabe she was a cast off -- someone who
couldn't find a man back home. For Melody meeting Gabe's
mother after months of correspondence was like coming home.
Not until Melody realizes that behind his gruffness was a
caring, intelligent man and one she could trust does Melody
think her search for a home was over.
