She likes to hear from all her brides and loves a happy ending. But to ensure her brides get one, she does things to help love along. Sometimes, however, those things don't always go as planned...Dear Mrs. Pettigrew,I've reached my destination and I must say that the Washington territory is not what I expected, neither is my new husband for that matter. His family is huge, loud and boisterous! We haven't had a moment's peace since our wedding. I don't mean to complain, but I wasn't prepared to become a schoolteacher for seven children! Seven mischievous, prank-pulling, children no less. No, they are not my husband's, (thank heaven). They belong to his older brother and his wife. In short, I should have been warned! He said nothing in his letters about any of this. I don't know how much longer I can endure it. Please write back to me as soon as you can before I go mad!Sincerely,Ebba WeaverDaniel Weaver was ready for a wife. His three older brothers had been married for several years and now it was his turn. So, like his brothers Arlan, Benjamin and Calvin, he sends for a mail-order bride, with a little help from their cousin Matthew of course. After all, he helped his brothers write their letters to their prospective brides, so why not him? But when the letter from his bride comes, it's got more than her acceptance of his proposal written in it. Worse, it gets picked up and read by the town's worst gossip, Nellie Davis. Ebba Knudson can't figure out why folks in her intended's town of Nowhere would be giving her such odd looks. It was bad enough she had other things to deal with by coming to the Washington territory to marry a farmer, but now this? Was there something wrong with her future husband? Or just with her? Of which she knew there was plenty. Enough to make her think she might not get married at all...Enjoy this sweet, historical, western romance and the first book in this laugh out loud new series!… (más)
Dear Mr. Weaver starts in an unusual way; not with either of the main characters, but in than Pettigrew mail-order bride office; where Mrs. Pettigrew is telling Fantine Le Blanc about her business and how working for her will change her life dramatically. She starts by telling her the story of the Weavers….this is their story.
Ebba Knudsen is alone in the world and in 1876 Denver, there is not many choices for a single women. Which is how she found herself at Pettigrew Mail-order bride agency. And even though Ebba had her doubts, Mrs Pettigrew said that she had the ideal husband for her, a Mr. Weaver, a farmer in the small town of Nowhere in the Washington Territory.
After a letter back from Daniel Weaver, Ebba made her to Nowhere, but little did she know just what was in store for her! Or what one harmless comment Mrs. Pettigrew added to her letter, could cause such a scandal!
I absolutely love Mail-order bride books! So when I saw Dear. Mr Weaver, I just knew I had to get my hands on it. And it if I suppose my expectations, in every aspect of the book. The writing was super line, and the plot inspired.
But I think the most enjoyable part for me was the characters. I absolutely loved Eva's character I love the way that a young women, who was raised by newly emigrated Swedish couple, that sadly died; had the gumption to become a mail order bride! I also enjoyed Daniel love for Ebba and the fact that he wanted a educated wife, not just a slave, but one that could also be independent.
I loved every part of this book, especially when Nellie was hauled into court! This is why I'm giving Dear Mr Weaver 5 stars! And can't wait for the next installment from the Pettigrew Mail-order bride agency! ( )
