About the book . . .
Two beautiful brides. One unsuspecting groom. Three weeks to figure it all out.
Greta Olsen arrives in Central City, Colorado, as a mail-order bride, expecting to marry Jess Gifford, the man she’s come to know through his tender letters. But when she meets Cora Johnson, she discovers she’s not the only bride waiting at the train station for Jess.
Already shocked to find they must compete for Jess’s affection, the young women can hardly believe it when not Jess but his brother Zach picks them up from the station—and reveals that Jess knows nothing about any mail-order bride, let alone two. Will either bride make the match she hopes for?
Filled with surprises, misunderstandings, and tender romance, Twice Promised is the story of how two unlikely women become twice blessed.

Reader Review . . .
After the death of her fiance Bryan, Greta answered an ad for a mail-order bride in Central City, Colorado. As if she wasn't surprised enough to learn that co-passenger Cora Johnson is arriving in answer to the same ad, both young ladies are surprised to learn that the intended groom, Jess Gifford, knows nothing of the ad. Confusion, friendship, and even amusing misunderstandings develop as they try to sort out the future, but will love develop for any of the characters involved?
Any fan of pioneer/frontier romances will enjoy Maggie Brendan's second installment in her The Blue Willow Brides series. Set in late 19th century Colorado, Ms. Brendan has included historic landmarks to add realism to the story. A nice, decent romance novel with an enjoyable plot.
