-From Goodreads- Close to perfection Ada Williamson lived her whole life in the shadow of her charismatic, capricious sister. But when the beautiful Melinda decides to jilt her mail-order groom on the way to meet him in Seattle, Washington Territory, Ada’s conscience demands that she continue the journey and tell Thomas Rankin the truth. After all, she wrote most of the letters the couple exchanged, and she’s already halfway in love with the man herself. Yet somehow, one look at Thomas and the future he offers, and the truth never comes out. Suddenly, Ada finds herself not only out of the shadows, but living the life meant for her sister. After making his fortune on the goldfields, Thomas “Scout” Rankin found he could buy almost anything he wanted, including the perfect mail-order bride in a territory where women are still few and far between. But past betrayals have left him wary, so he immediately notices that the woman who claims to be his mail-order bride doesn’t quite act the part. Still, someone wrote those letters that spoke to his heart. If getting to know Ada better will reveal the truth, he’s willing to try, even if he must protect his own secrets along the way. But someone knows both their secrets and aims to use them to advantage. Can Thomas and Ada discover the truth, about their enemy, about their pasts, and about the love they both yearn to share?

I had just finished a rather heavy read when I picked up my The Perfect Mail-Order Bride on my ereader. I was seriously in need of something sweet, on the lighter side, and was craving a truly happy ending. And there, waiting for me was Regina Scott with the start to her new historical romance series, Frontier Matches.
The Perfect Mail-Order Bride was exactly what I had been looking for! Historical romance with just the right touch of humor – I wasn't exactly ready for true comedy mind you. It also had just the slightest dash of suspense that kept the plot moving forward quite nicely. But, Regina Scott is truly a master of just that balance as all of her series that I've read can attest to.
If you are up for a new historical romance series from Regina Scott check out the first Frontier Matches novel, The Perfect Mail-Order Bride. You'll find some old friends and make some new. Learn a little about some of Seattle's colorful history. But, mostly you'll be in for some nice and enjoyable reading time...
