Mail-order bride stories are a staple of historical western romance, and Jenna Brandt puts her own spin on the trope by making sure nothing goes according to plan. Each of the 7 books follows a woman who heads west expecting one thing and finds something entirely different waiting for her. The misunderstandings and surprises create natural tension without relying on dark or heavy subject matter.
Published between 2019 and 2021, the series keeps the tone light and hopeful. Brandt’s clean, faith-centered approach fits the mail-order bride premise well, since the characters are already taking a leap of faith just by showing up.
