A review by saarahnina
The Captive Bride by Victoria Summer
2.0
Different
It was different but that's really it. There was nothing more to it. Meg goes out to meet her husband to be, Jacob, and finds herself with a man who couldn't possibly be anymore unlike the Jacob portrayed in the letters they had exchanged. Quite a mouthful.
She quickly learns why this is, and flees the impersonator. She comes across the Sheriff's building, where she knew he stayed, and finally meets Jacob. They share a meal, have a laugh...That's it. I feel that the story was attempting to be different, just didn't prove to be that different. I quite fancy the idea of reading a mail order bride novel - during the actual marriage. We all know that maintaining a happy marriage is no easy feat. So, it'd make for a far more interesting, and even comical, read.
