Book Review: The Reluctant Mail-Order Bride by Greta Picklesimer

Greta Picklesimer’s The Rejected Mail-Order Bride is a sweet and wholesome romance with a strong Gospel message. When Harl Adams comes to the rescue of Rose Harrison after she is rejected and left at the train station, and subsequently falls on the ice, it sets into motion certain unexpected consequences.

Farmer Harl still suffers from post war trauma and isn’t anxious to expose his tender heart to more possible hurt. Milliner Rose is running from an unwanted betrothal to a cruel man. Can she give her heart to the God that Harl loves and break down barriers between them?

Wanting to know how they’d both overcome their pasts to find their HEA kept me turning pages. The author transports the reader to daily farm and small-town life in post-Civil War era Kentucky with great detail. If you’re looking for a cozy, slow burning inspirational romance to read, snuggle up with The Rejected Mail-Order Bride.
