Mail-Order Brides of the West: Evie (McCutcheon Family Series Book 3)

This story continues to follow the McCutcheon ranch saga. I enjoyed seeing a happy ending. And now, onward with the next! I like this author's clean fun.

We first meet Chance in Luke's story. When Luke comes back from the cattle drive with Faith, her son and newborn baby, Luke isn't the only one sweet on Faith, but Faith chose Luke, and that experience seems to have left Chance even more shy around women than before. He doesn't think there's any other way he'll find a woman. He can't even seem to find the sense to string two words together, so finding a mail-order bride seems like the best choice. At least most of their getting to know eachother could take place in letters, and Chance could handle that.Evie is a maid working in a Victorian house in St. Louis. Her mother died eight years before, and the proprietress of the Mail Order Brides of the West agency had taken her in. Her mother had worked there, Evie had been born there and her mother had died there, so now, Evie held the position her mother had. But she had dreams, too. She didn't plan on spending her whole life as a maid. She wouldn't even mind if her whole life wasn't spent in St. Louis. She longed for adventure, but she wasn't a candidate for the mail order bride agency. The girls had to be from a morally strong background, and Evie didn't even know who her father was. She could keep a good, clean house, but she couldn't even really cook that much. What were her chances?Evie takes things into her own hands, though, and comes into possession of one of the potential groom's letters, addressed to the agency, and she answers the letter. From there, she finds herself with Chance, a former ranch hand at the McCutcheon ranch. He now has his own ranch, but things aren't quite as Evie thought they'd be when she arrived. Then again, she wasn't exactly who Chance thought he'd be getting, either.Neither one had intentionally lied, but both had secrets, and both thought their secrets would be the end of something they both wanted so much. How were they going to untangle this mess? Or could they? Would Chance be destined to live out his life on his ranch alone, or at least without the woman he'd come to love? And if Chance couldn't stand the type of person she really was, where would Evie go?This was a pretty low-key story, but a good one, nonetheless. It's a well-deserved reminder of how honesty usually ends up being the best policy in the end, after all.

I love mail-order bride stories, so this third book in the McCutcheon series really worked for me. Evie is the maid in a building that houses a mail-order bride agency. She decides to take matters into her own hands and responds to Chance Holcomb, a Montana rancher and formerly a cowboy on the McCutcheon ranch.There are the usual miscommunications and withholdings that occur in romance books between a couple that don't know each other well, but Evie is sweet and Chance is patient, so it all works out. It was interesting to read about the day-to-day life on a small cattle ranch.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and this series and I am eagerly looking forward to reading the next book in this series

Evie is such a lovely young woman, but so very tired of her life. Will it never change? Taking matters into her own hands, she travels 1,300 miles to the wilds of Montana territory to marry a man she's never met or seen.Loved this story, will probably read it again down the road.

Tis was a sweet story of a young girl taking a chance and a man who just wanted a family. Their love story is very sweet and fun to read it unfold.

I loved this story from the beginning of a woman who pains for a life for herself but she is limited to what she is destined for but she takes her life in her own hands and there’s a new tactic to get her wish chance is a man who is lonely but wants a wife and family he contacts a mail order bride outfit and requests a wife Evie steals the letters and answers him back she leaves the Victorian home without telling anyone and heads to meet and Mary chance she doesn’t understand that it’s in the wilderness and she has A lot to learn she can’t cook a lick or knows how to do anything except clean so she feels like a liar that she has done what she did but through it all her and chance find the happiness that they saw both wanted so much humor romance arguingSecond guessing and confused feelings very good heart warming story

Wonderful and believable characters and excellent writing are found in this series. I appreciate the sweet, charming and clean romance.

This story was so different from the first two in the series that I began to think it was written by a different author. As it was the 'McCutcheon Series' I presumed it would be about a member of that family. I was disappointed. It did not hold my attention like the first two and I skipped huge chunks, just grabbing the main frame of the action.Chance Holcomb was a ranch hand in the first story. Now he has begun his own ranch and sent for a mail order bride.Evie was a maid at the mail order bride headquarters and intercepted a letter (from Chance) and wrote to him agreeing to be his wife.No huge plot, no drama, just a plain mail order bride story. Disappointing.

Evelyn work at a mail order bride boarding house in St Louis and had been there for years. Her Mother had died and she did not know who her father had been. She collected the post and got drawn to one from a man called Chance Holcomb and opened it and replied to it when she should not have done so. She set out for Y loop near where he lived and met up with him there. They married and he said she was to stay in Y loop till he came fir her. She met up.with an older lady who taught her how to cook..Chance and Evie fell.in....

I enjoyed reading this book it kept my interest from page one to the last.Looking forward to getting the next book in the series.

I throughly enjoyed this book, a new author to me. I never would have thought I would enjoy a western romance story. Terribly comfused with the Holland and Fyffe surnames on books

Another good read from Caroline Fyffe, I recommend it, it was very enjoyable. I enjoy reading this Authoress's books very much. Heather.
