McKinnie Mail Order Brides-Reviews for Books 2-6

 



Love in the Rockies - I enjoyed Josephine's story even more than Abigail's. I look forward to continuing the sisters' journey in the next book in the series. 4.8/5

Love on the Plains - I am not sure who I liked less, Dinah or Colt/Cole. Dinah is spoiled and entitled. Colt (or Cole as he is mistakenly referred to a couple of times) is demanding and rude. They are both horrible people who seem to dramatically change overnight after they survive a traumatic event together. I did appreciate the metamorphosis the characters went through, although it was too quick to be believable. I LOVED the children, Anna, James, and little Emma. I give this loose re-telling of Beauty and the Beast a 2.8/5 overall. This was my least favorite of the series so far.

Love on the Ranch - This was one of the better books in the series. I was a fan of Elizabeth right away and enjoyed her spirit as she fought against the many challenges she faced to survive her harsh journey to happiness. There were a few times the characters' stubbornness drove me crazy, but I was happy with the ending and look forward to reading Francine's story. 4.4/5

Love on the Sound - Although many of the characters stubborn, cluelessness annoyed me, I still enjoyed Francine's adventure to find love and her discovery of a dream even she was unaware she had. Now Thomas I could NOT stand! I had hoped his character would be better redeemed than the ending he received. Francine, Adam, Clara, and Esther were my favorite characters. 3.7/5. I look forward to learning more about Hannah in the next book. 

Love on the Border - When I was approved to read the ARC of Love on the Border, I was unaware it was the sixth book in a series. Never having read any other book by Ciara Knight, I found the first two of this series on Kindle Unlimited. The McKinnie sisters’ stories quickly had me hooked and I read the first five books over two weeks. The series was no longer available on Kindle Unlimited after completing the first two, so I purchased books 3-5. I would have bought Love on the Border as well if I had not had the advanced reader’s copy.

 The latest McKinnie Mail Order Bride release tells Hannah's story. Before this book, readers do not learn much about this sister, so I enjoyed getting to know more about Hannah. I really like the rest of the cast of characters as well. Roger gave me the creeps at first, but it was nice to see his character growth. Eli was a great leading man to root for. He is not perfect but works to overcome his personal demons. Hannah was easy to like as well. Although I admired the strength of her faith, I did not fully agree with the portrayal of faith. This was my third favorite of the series so far. I look forward to reading Cora’s story most! Love on the Border is a well-written and fast-paced story for those who enjoy this and other mail order bride series. I received a free copy of this story from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. 3.8/5 overall.


I love the beautiful covers for this series! I predict Cora's story will be my favorite (she deserves the best for her selfless sacrifice). I would love to read of reunion between the sisters at series end. My favorite in order are:
