New cover for the beloved story.

 Dead—her groom-to-be died while she was on her way to Montana!

Her escape from a bad situation sent young widow Gormlaith McGowan west as a mail-order bride. What is she to do now that she is in a strange place with almost no money, no prospect of a job, and no idea how she’ll survive? Plus, her late husband’s family wants her hung for his death, though his fall wasn’t her fault. Garrett McDonald hadn’t planned on marrying for several months. When urged by the sheriff to consider a young widow, he agreed to meet with her. One look was all he needed to convince him to wed the beautiful woman. She said she’d had experience with farming and animals and was willing to work hard. But life on a tiny Irish farm hadn’t prepared her for Montana. Gormlaith’s hard work and spirit convince Garrett she’d the one for him, but life has surprises in store.

Another good story! Gormlaith flees to Montana in fear of threats from her deceased husband's family. Garret becomes her husband by being in the right spot. Trouble follows but is overcome.
Again the writing just pulled me in and I couldn't put the Kindle down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Historical Romance

I really liked this story! And, now that I understand this is no longer a part of the Montana Sky series by Debra Holland because the Kindle World ended, the name changes of the charactes and towns make sense!
Usually, I don't like unusual or hard to pronounce names, but after learning the heroine's name is pronounce Gorm Lee (or Leah) and the name is a wonderful Irish name transliterated into English as Barbara, and the best part I learned is that a famous Irish princess had the original name, she lived from 960 to 1030. I'm kind of a fan! I still wish more characters said something like, "That's such an unusual name, how do you pronounce it again?" But, alas, they usually just act like everyone knows how to say it and spell it, like Bob or Jill.
Anyhoo, I liked this story a lot, the only thing missing was his reaction to finding out the news in the epilolgue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Chance Love for Two People Who Need Each Other
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018
I very much enjoyed this book. After traveling to be a mail order bride, Gormlaith learns her groom is dead. What to do?Through the help of the law, she gets a caring groom and a chance at a new adventure. The details of life on the ranch were created so well that I felt like I was there. Also, I enjoyed how the romance develops, though any scenes are behind the bedroom door between a husband and wife.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2018
I enjoyed this sweet romance and the characters, especially the Irish heroine. Her attitude reminded me how we sometimes take things for granted. It was set in winter, and I could almost feel the chill of the ice and snow.
