Jared’s Promise by Barbara McMahon. This is Jared Montgomery and Jenny Stratford’s story.

Jared and Jenny’s characters are dealing with some really tough emotional issues and situations. Jenny has been hired to care for Jared’s friend’s orphaned baby. There is definitely an attraction between the two. Jenny wants love, romance, and a family but Jared never wants to marry again. Will these two break down their barriers and take a chance on love?

I loved Jared and Jenny’s characters but there were timed I wanted to knock some sense into Jared. Jared’s neighborhood, Mrs. Giraux was a great addition to the story. The ending pulled everything together.

This story bought to my attention how important it is that we watch what we say. We may get into the habit of complaining about something and really don’t mean it the way it comes across. We don’t realize the effect that could have on others.

Mail Order Bride by Barbara McMahon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mail Order Bride by Barbara McMahon. This is Julianne Dawson and Blake Reynolds’ story.

Blake needs to be married and have a baby in the next year in order to inherit the family ranch. Blake and Julianne had known each other when they were younger. Julianne agrees to marry Blake. Will Julianne go through with this when she discovers the details of this agreement?

Blake, Julianne, and supporting characters all seem to have this desire to be loved and have the comfort and security of being part of a family. They just have a hard time letting their guards down.

I enjoyed the banter between the characters, the hot chemistry between Blake and Julianne, the side story of Shell (Blake’s son) and Loni’s story, and some surprising twists. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, emotional, and heartwarming romance. The story leaves you with a warm and happy heart.
