Description from the publisher:
Introducing Cowboys and Debutantes! Enjoy these clean and wholesome, sweet
historical western romances. These
riches to rags shorts prove that love can be found in the most unexpected
places, and that money does not always make the man. But as our debutantes know, it sure helps!
Della Stout can hardly believe it when her father tells her he's lost it all - the money, the house, the servants, their entire fortune. But things only get worse when they inform her she's to be sent west, as a Mail Order Bride. When she meets her husband to be, she's less than impressed - by him and the dusty little town he lives in.
Clement White has spent his whole life working toward this moment. After opening a bank in Montana Territory, he feels as though his dreams have come true. All but one - he realizes there's no one to share in the fruits of his labor. A Mail Order Bride seems like just the thing to complete his life, that is, until she arrives. Suddenly he's saddled with a woman who doesn't know a stovetop from a washtub, and to make matters worse she wants nothing to do with him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Della is the second book in the Cowboys
and Debutantes series. This series is
co-authored with Kit Morgan. I’ve been
offered the books penned by Vivi Holt from this series and told they will stand
without the companion books. I’ll let
you know! I can tell you that Della
stands on its own.
There couldn’t be much more
different about the two people thrown together as mail-order bride and her
groom than Della and Clement. Della is a
debutante from New York City who is used to parties and fun, servants and
society. Clement is a banker in a small
western town with dirt roads and simple dreams.
Della may be a debutante, but she
isn’t a screaming Bridezilla. She has
accepted that she is a mail-order bride because of the circumstances of her
father’s business. The situation may not
be easy, but it is entertaining to read as Della and Clement grow together to
become a couple ready to become a family.
Clement is exactly the kind of man a
woman would hope to find at the end of her journey to become a mail-order
bride. He is patient, kind, and generous. He even encourages and helps her to find new
friends in her new town.
I really enjoyed this low-stress sweet
romance. I’m looking forward to reading/listening
to more of the series.
Narration: Meghan Kelly is one
of my favorite narrators. She has a very
relaxing way of reading that never feels rushed. With a short story, this is even more
important, because I like to feel that I’m hearing every word of what is being
given.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook
