Colorado Bride: a sensual, mail-order bride, historical western romance (Matchmaker & Co. Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 916 ratings

Emily Loring survived the last few years as a governess to a rich family's children. But when the lord of the house can't keep his hands to himself, she's left with no option but to risk everything as a mail-order bride. Raised in a New York orphanage, she's always dreamed of a husband and children of her own, but even that small dream always felt out of reach. The city is all she's ever known, but the promise of a family, a place to call home, drives her to risk everything and head for the wilds of the Colorado Territory, and the arms of a stranger.

Ben Logan fell in love once, to a city girl who left him at the altar to run off with another man. A mail-order bride appears to be the answer to his need for a wife to warm his bed, as long as she loves the country life as he does. He doesn't need much, but he won't risk his heart again. When Emily arrives, her curves tempt him nearly as much as her smile. But his ex-fiancée is back, and determined to have Ben for herself, even if it means murder...

About the Author

Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of thirty historical western romance books and two short stories with more books on the way.
 
Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia's father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories.Her father was a cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid(called a nanny now) not the ranch owner. The ranch they met on is still there as part of the open space in Mineral County in southwestern Colorado.
 
Writing as CA Woolf she has six scifi, space opera romance titles. She calls them westerns in space.
 
Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and her great critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.

    Being from Monte Vista Colorado, this story touched my heart as the names of towns were mentioned. My mail order bride is from Russia, and she is the love of my life. Today, June 15, is our anniversary so that love is special. We were not blessed with children but I knew I loved her from her photo in 2005. Great book. Congrats.

    A very good book to read. Cynthia Woolf has continued this series of Matchmaker and Co into book 4. A man is jilted at the alter only to fine love in a mail order bride. A mother in law who hates her, a ex fiancé who hates even more, and a brother is found. Quite an enjoyable book to read.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2017
    This is an OK story, but I got really sick of the H -- he was so determined not to fall in love with his mail-order bride, and he just kept hurting her over and over. I don't understand how she could fall in love with such a jerk. He certainly didn't deserve her love, especially when he kept telling her he would never love her. Then when he finally does realize he loves her, she takes him back right away. She should have at least made him grovel for a while. It would have served him right if she had left him -- at least for a while -- after all the pain he gave her.

    This series has proven to be so welcome to my love of reading. It definitely kept my interest throughout and the characters weren't the usual. A crazy mother, A n ex-girlfriend who was also wacky and a mail order bride. Loved the whole premise.

    This is the fourth book in this series. I loved reading them all. The story of Emily and Ben was a good story that brought you right at the center of the scenes.
    Emily was a very strong willed hard working woman that had a lot of love to give.
    Ben had been hurt before and didn't think he would ever love again, but he wanted a wife and children.
    Ben's mother didn't want anyone happy including herself.
    Good story.

    This is an absolutely delightful western historical! Ben and Emily are matched by mail after each was on the losing end of their situations. They overcome the attempts of two misguided women to tear them apart to find their forever love. You will enjoy this one!

    This author writes another heartwarming story of love and happily ever after. She also does a good job of putting enough intrigue to keep the reader wanting to read more. I would recommend this author to other readers who love to read western historical romance books.

    I was not really impressed to be honest. The story lacked a feeling of real
    romance and there were parts where sex was crude. I have read a lot better. Sorry.
