Quinn And The Mail Order Bride
Priscilla Bradford is determined she and Quinn McRae will have a happy marriage—all she has to do is convince him.
Priscilla Bradford’s once-impressive family has fallen on desperate times. She and her brother have lost everything. Against her brother’s wishes, she leaves Boston to become a mail order bride to a man in Texas. She’s relieved when she arrives and finds her groom is a handsome and charming man. His family welcomes her—at last, she feels part of a loving, happy family. But her husband soon behaves as if he were two people. She’s certain he’s a good man, and is determined to discover the reason for his mysterious behavior.
Quinn McRae is overjoyed to reunite with his brothers after being apart for fifteen years. They don’t understand why he doesn’t fit into ranch life on their terms. How can he explain the heartbreaking event that continues to create his horrific nightmares? He can’t—at least, not without revealing the secret he believes would cause them to send him packing. In addition to his internal battle, a local bully is determined to kill Quinn and his brothers.
How will Quinn overcome the bully’s attempts to destroy his family? Can Priscilla and Quinn conquer his doubts to become the happy couple of her dreams?

This is a sweet and heartwarming story yet one filled with human angst. This is Quinn and Priscilla's story, and the character development is excellent. Priscilla heads West to become Quinn's MOB but is more readily accepted by Quinn's family than by him. Unbeknownst to any of the family Quinn suffers from nightmares as the result of a secret he harbors that he fears if disclosed will result in the family sending him away. Priscilla is bound and determined that she and Quinn are going to have a happy marriage. What will happen when danger threatens Quinn's family, as well as Priscilla? Will Quinn be able to protect all of them? Will he reveal his secret to Priscilla and, if so, how will she accept it? Is a HEA in their future? Be sure and read this outstanding story to find out. It is a real page turner; and I know you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Quinn and the Mail Order Bride
Such a good story for Quinn and Priscilla. Quinn has demons he doesn’t want to share so he spends his nights drowning them at the saloon. The last thing he wants is a bride. His family doesn’t agree. Priscilla has only one reason to stay in Boston but that would only bring hardship to both so she accepts an offer to be a bride for Quinn but will he accept her when she arrives?

Priscilla and Quinn
Quinn was a bad boy who needed to settle down. So his brothers and sisters-in law decided he needed to be married. He was angry�
Priscilla had no idea what kind of man she was about to meet and then marry. She was pleasantly pleased to see Quinn was very handsome and rugged. But she had no idea about the demons he battled.
Great story with a beautiful epilogue 💞

Okay, I’m still trying to wrap my mind around a 12 year old boy going to war. War then was up close and personal, not far off. They truly meant when you can see the white in their eyes. No wonder Quinn was messed up. He’d seen and done things no child should. I’m so glad that Priscilla had practice with patience and I’m also glad she knows when to end it. This book was a great addition to the series.

Quinn and the Mail Order Bride ( Texas Hill Country Mail Order Brides
Quinn is a much more complex character, then Gentry and the little I read about Craig ( in Henry's book). The secret burden he is carrying, the nightmares and the surprise bride are only some of the things he is dealing with at his brother's ranch.
Don't miss this excellent book. Caroline does it again.

Quinn And The Mail Order Bride!
Caroline Clemmons writes the most wonderful stories and I get pulled into them very quickly. I love her strong characters, the importance of family, along with all the angst and adventure before arriving at their HEA. It was nice seeing favorite characters from the past books and meeting new ones here. Looking forward to the next one. JudyE

Quinn and Priscilla
Finding his brothers through a newspaper article brought joy to Quinn but being presented with a mail order bride to settle him did not set well. Well written and comprehensive back story.

Read Gentry first!
The books in this series are out of order on Amazon. This book was very confusing to me because it's written as a continuation of Gentry. If you read Gentry first it should make more sense.

Quinn's Secret Finally Revealed
Thank you for this heartwarming and heartwrenching love story of Quinn and Priscilla. I found the camaraderie between the McRae brothers and their wives and other family members like Annie and Johnny very endearing. A lot of emotion was shown.

I enjoyed the book! Quinn carried a secret that he thought would make his family hate him. Priscilla was determined to make him realize he is a good man. There was some drama involving a bully and a card shark. I recommend reading this book!
