The Widower's Wife - Prudence Bice

This was a good book.  Not great.  I had a hard time with the way it was written,  You would hear one persons side of the story, and then go back and hear it from the other persons side.  It didn't flow well for me.  The story, however, was good.  I young single woman, who has had her heart broken, answers an ad for a mail order wife.  The man is a widower, with three young children.  He is not looking for love, he fully loved his wife, he is looking for someone to love his children and help them.  Of course, he expects and unattractive woman to answer his ad, and she expects him to be an older man.  When they meet, they are immediately attracted to each other physically.  The story sweetly unfolds as she does become a mother to his children, and they get to know and care for one another.  I will read more from this author, but I hope her technique changes a little.
