The Spinster Mail-Order Brides series by Elissa Strati is one of her biggest collections with 35 books published across 2019 and 2020. Every title follows the pattern “A [Something] for Christmas,” and the heroines are women who have been considered past the usual marrying age for the era. They head west as mail-order brides to find husbands during the holiday season.
The series covers an impressive variety of Christmas romance scenarios. The brides find sheriffs, farmers, cowboys, lumberjacks, shopkeepers, and even beekeepers waiting for them. Some books focus on the bride herself (A Runaway for Christmas), while others highlight what she needs most (A Home for Christmas, A Fresh Start for Christmas). The Christmas setting runs through every book, making this a massive seasonal reading option for fans of clean Western romance.
