THE NAVY SEAL'S E-MAIL ORDER BRIDE

THE NAVY SEAL'S E-MAIL ORDER BRIDE   CORA SETON
Posted:  Aug. 21, 2014

Mason Hall, Navy SEAL, knows all about difficult assignments, but his current mission is one for the record books. Not only must he find a wife—and get her pregnant—or forfeit the ranch his family has prized for generations, he must also convince his three brothers to marry, too—before the year is up. Who knew one city girl and three wayward brothers could put up such a fight?

HUBBY'S REVIEW:
This is the first of a four book series about four brothers who are all in the service each in a different branch. They are given an opportunity to go back to the ranch they grew up on until their father died and his brother their uncle took over the ranch and their mother moved them from Montana to Florida. Now their great Aunt has control over the ranch because the uncle has passed away and ran the ranch into the ground. This ranch has been in their family for over a 100 years and she wants to keep it going for another 100 years. In order for them to take over the ranch they must live on the ranch stock the ranch with cattle and horses. In other words turn it back into a working ranch like when their father and mother were running it. They must also marry and have children in the first year of marriage. The first story is around the oldest Mason who is leaving the Navy Seals, and as he is going through all of his paper work he decides to put a singles ad out in the inter net. He actually was fairly honest about the information in the about the ranch, the military, hard work that would need to be put in every day working a ranch. He also included photos of himself and his brothers. In New York sat a lonely Ragen Anderson, who had given up on love and men and just left her job at a bank as a loan officer. She was going to try her hand at consulting and had an appointment for artificial insemination. She was tired of her job and mainly being alone. After a bottle of wine and shots of tequila she went back to her lap top and decided to send a message to Mason. As she answered his list of skills, riding, roping, roofing, and her favorite small motor repair to name a few. She also added glassblowing, cheesemaking, towel origami, hovercraft piloting, she then sent a picture of her foot. She then took another shot of tequila and passed out. Of course this would be the one that he would want to be with and he even went to New York, to talk her into going out to Montana. She does give in to him and once they’re out their it is nothing like he remembers. The uncle let it go so bad that most of their money needs to just go into the home and new fencing. He is surprised by not only the way she works but how she can see ahead when everything is finished. Like every couple they have struggles not always easy but they work through them. A very good book and well written. I got this book from net galley.
