The four McBride brothers have their worlds turned upside down when their precocious younger sister secretly places an advertisement for a mail-order bride.
Kit McBride knows that Buck’s Creek, Montana, is no place to find a wife. Between him and his three brothers—plus little Junebug—they manage all right on their own, thank you very much. But unbeknownst to Kit, his sister is sick to death of cleaning, cooking, and mending for her big brothers, so she places an ad in The Matrimonial News to get them hitched.
After Maddy Mooney emigrated from Ireland, she found employment with an eccentric but poor widow. When her mistress decides to answer an ad for a mail-order bride, Maddy is dragged along for the ride to Montana. But en route to the West, Maddy is suddenly abandoned and left to assume the widow’s name, position, and matrimonial prospects …
With no other recourse in the wilderness, Maddy must convince Kit not only is she who she says she is, but she’s the wife he never knew he needed.
Kit McBride Gets a Wife Review
After hearing several friends talk about this book, I decided to pick it up. I am so glad I did because it is such a fun and entertaining romance!
Kit McBride Gets a Wife is a western romance. It follows Junebug, who decides to put in a request for a mail order bride for her brother Kit. What she doesn’t expect is a mix-up with the ad answer.
I absolutely adore Junebug — she’s so adorable and charming. From the first page, she draws the reader in. I also love the way she handles her brothers, it’s really entertaining. She’s just so cute!
I also love the McBride brothers. They’re all so different from each other but still incredibly close as a unit. Kit is against the mail order bride but I love how his opinion changes over the course of the book.
The romance in this book is definitely a slow burn — but incredibly satisfying. Kit and Maddy grow close and their chemistry is undeniable. It’s sweet to see how Kit’s opinion starts to change as he spends more time with Maddy.
The overall plot is full of humour and charming moments. The McBride family alone is a perfect reason to read this book. But the book in general is just incredibly enjoyable from the first page to the last.
Kit McBride Gets a Wife is a sweet and charming romance with hilarious moments. While it’s different from books I like to read, I’m so glad I picked it up.
I highly recommend picking this book up! I can’t wait to read the sequel, Marrying Off Morgan McBride when it releases in May of this year!
