Some people get a mail order bride. She got a mail order man.
A well-meaning friend places an ad to find a mail order husband for Sarah, the proprietress of Larkspur’s stage and mail office. Sarah, who is generally quiet and reserved, doesn’t know about the ad and has no idea what to do with all the people that are showing up in her community. Before long, the town is overrun with men and mail alike. Sarah is trying to avoid some men who have accosted her on the street when she stumbles into Samuel. Through long days spent together at the stage office, some very adventurous pots of coffee and a shared faith, the two become friends. Sarah knows that Samuel is hiding something from her, something important, but that doesn’t stop her heart from leaping wildly into love. Lacking the confidence to trust her heart, Sarah wars with herself over the feelings she can no longer deny. When some of the men who have come to town show their true intentions, a shootout follows. Sarah finally gets answers to many of the questions circling through her mind. One question remains, though. Where will her mail order man go when the dust settles?

History & Humor: How much better can it get!! I loved the colorful characters in this book such as the “flashy dresser” Samuel Livingston and Sarah Jenkins who made BAD coffee and who had trouble with the mail and males! This book has fun descriptive lines like: “Her heart no longer fluttered like a bumblebee. It thumped like a herd of wild mustangs.” Then there are the thought-provoking lines like: “whatever the problem is, it’s there because God allowed it and you will see it as simply another way to glorify Him, another opportunity to praise Him.” And: “much of her obedience had been from fear rather than love…was it fear that had shaped her?” A fun, easy, and humorous read, yet it is filled with great probing questions and thoughts.Product details

Mail Order ManLadies of Larkspur Book 1 edition by Heather Gray Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Mail Order Man miss really more about a young woman who through the Godly influence of a good man grows from a fearful young woman to a well balanced and godly woman. The conflicts, such as the need for deputies, could have been filled with detail through Samuels eyes, but the development of the girl into a woman was well done.
This was a selection for a book club group that I am in. Honestly, if it wasn't chosen for our monthly read I probably wouldn't have even picked this up. It isn't a bad book, I am just not into romance novels. It was well written. The storyline reminded me of a Hallmark movie. If you are looking for an easy read with nothing to think too much about you will probably enjoy this book.
I very much enjoyed reading Mail Order Man and hope to be able to purchase it to offer to our high school library. We need more books like this for young people to read rather than what is offered in most of our HS libraries. Although at times you just knew what was going to happen, the author gave the story enough intrigue to keep it interesting. It can be enjoyed by young and old. Of course, I love a book where good triumphs over evil and they all live happily ever after! I look forward to more books from this author.
It was an interesting story, but I thought it was more preachy than it needed to be. There was way too many sermons in the book. It was a good story, but the "preachiness" of it was more than was needed in a romance. So I think this will be my last reading of the Larkspur series. Instead I am moving on to Heather Gray's Regency Refuge Series, which is also a Christian romance, with a bit of mystery thrown in and the "preachiness" is kept to a minimum. I prefer my preaching in a church.
Thank you very much.
Heather Gray's, "Mail Order Man" is a tried and true romance story with a brand new twist and an infusion of mystery and humor that made this story too good to put down.
After her father died, Sarah managed both the stage office and the mail with the help of a couple of part-time employees. Then a "husband wanted" ad flooded the Idaho Territory town of Larkspur with tons of mail addressed to "Eligible Female" and an over-eager mob of marriage minded men. Suddenly the town was no longer same for a woman alone, and Sarah found herself in need of protection, but she isn't certain she should trust, Samuel Livingston, the man who appointed himself her protector. After all, isn't he a stranger in town as well?
Always enjoy discovering new authors. This book was not great, but it was good. At times it read like a text book - stiff, conversations that felt heavy, forced, unnatural - but the book, and writing, got better by the end.
The first few chapters contained the majority of the books humor with "the talking wall" as Sarah, the heroine referred to Samuel, the books hero. Sarah was starting to get on my nerves by the middle of the book with her wall of perfection. She was like a walking Sunday school lesson. Samuel was adorable. He, at times, also came across as a Sunday school lesson.
Enjoyed the story line, but not the stiffness of the book. As previously mentioned, it was like reading a Sunday school lesson instead of a fictional book with believable characters and conversations. The second half of the book was slightly better than the first half.
The ending, especially the epilogue, was good - extra points for including an epilogue. This was presented as book one in The Ladies of Larkspur. I will be watching for additional books in the series which will hopefully not on include Samuel and Sarah, but also new characters as well as continuing the story line of existing characters.
Loved the books cover - good to get a mental picture of Samuel and Sarah. Although the book gave the appearance of being small with 217 pages, it really wasn't. The books overall size is smaller than most, as is the font size, making it an uncomfortable read.
All-in-all a good first book by this author. At least a first book for me by the author.
I just finished Mail Order Man by Heather Gray. This book was extremely good. I had previously read Just Dessert and while yes this book and Just Dessert can be read as separate I kind of wish I has read this one first. Anyway on to the story.
Sarah was raised by her father, who mother passed away when she was young and her father passed away around the time she was considering college. Sarah took over the stage office and suddenly gets more mail in one day than they normally get in months. Someone had placed an add searching for a husband. Now men were not only writing to Larkspur but they were showing up searching for a bride.
Samuel came to town a little earlier than he had planned to visit with his cousin. He has secrets that he has to keep from Sarah even though he wants to tell her. He promised the Mayor that he would not tell her until things in town settled down. Samuel begins to fall for Sarah as she starts to let herself open up.
The characters in this book are amazing. I love how Sarah learns to develop a closer relationship with God. How she re-evaluates how her relationship with God is. She learns that you do not always have to be serious to love God.
Sarah and Samuel both are wonderful characters. I hope to hear more about some of the other people I have met in this book and Just Dessert.
