Honestly I've only recently become acquainted with the Mail Order Brides trope (in a Proper Romance I read earlier this year called Healing Hearts; I loved it) and it was a little more complicated than just a mail order bride. <br /><br />It was like... a case of wires crossed? Anyways, it piqued my interest so now I'm like... well, gotta look more in depth into this trope ASAP!

I like Christmas stories set in a log cabin setting out in the American West during the 19th century. I like books where a character having difficulties in their life goes on a journey.
