A Bride for All Seasons by Various Authors

I've read books by all four of these authors and really enjoyed them.  Debra Clopton was the author I was the least familiar with.  However, since reading this book I've read a couple of her books from the Mule Hollow series and really enjoyed them.

And Then Came Spring by Margaret Brownley

Mary-Jo travels to meet her future husband.  However, she arrives just in time for his funeral.  She believes that she is unlucky.  She is constantly relying on luck instead of on God.  She encounters her dead fiance's brother, Tom and son, Eddie.  She instantly bounds with Eddie.  Things with Tom are a little different.  I enjoyed this story.  It was an easy read and about trusting God instead of luck.

An Ever After Summer by Debra Clopton

Ellie answers a mail order bride advertisement.  She arrives and meets Matthew who tells her she isn't what he asked for in his advertisement since she is a "bible-thumper".  Matthew is angry about God letting his wife, Beth, die.  He and Ellie agree to marriage but he wants it to be in name only so that his daughter, Sophie, will have a mother.  This story was fun to read and I enjoyed seeing how the characters changed to be who God made them to be.

Autumn's Angel by Robin Lee Hatcher

Luvena travels with her nieces and nephew to marry Clay.  However, when she arrives, Clay was not expecting the children to be there.  Someone had changed their letters to leave out some important details.  Clay refuses to marry Luvena because of the children.  This story is about letting God have control of your life and trusting him.  It was a quick and fun read.

Winter Wedding Bells by Mary Connealy

Megan agrees to marry David and to care for his two sons.  David is looking for a mother for his sons and someone to run his ranch after he dies.  Megan refuses to believe that David is going to die and is determined to help him get well.  Megan loves David unconditionally and refuses to give up on him even when he has given up on himself.

I enjoyed all four of these stories.  It was interesting to see how Melvin Hitchcock would edit the letters so that some of the things the men or women thought they were looking for were left out.  Eventually, they realize that what they thought they wanted may not be what they needed all along.
