En résumé (quatrième de couverture) :
This Texan Had No Intention of Becoming a Groom…
Until he found out he had a year to find a bride —or risk losing the family ranch. Any of the four mail-order brides recently arrived in Granite, Texas, would make a good wife. So why can't Levi Westland stop thinking about the one who refuses to have him? The marriage of convenience Levi offers isn't enough to persuade Millie Hamilton. Truth is, it's no longer enough for Levi, either.
Millie just needed a place to escape to. Now that she's paid Levi back his traveling expenses, she can forge her own way. If he knew the truth about her past, Levi's admiration would vanish. But the only thing harder than risking her heart may be watching Levi marry anyone but her.

Mon avis :
Je n'ai pas aimé cette romance qui ne m'a pas paru crédible du tout.
La situation de départ, avec les quatre "fiancées par correspondance" (dont trois invitées par la mère du jeune homme), semble trop artificielle et le comportement des personnages ne correspond pas à ce qu'on pourrait attendre de personnes de cette époque. Sans compter que l'obstacle insurmontable qui devait empêcher absolument tout dénouement heureux s'efface miraculeusement, ou presque.
Le bon côté, quand même, c'est que j'ai un peu travaillé mon anglais...
