A Sensible Arrangement by Tracie Peterson

About the Book:

Marty Dandridge Olson is ready to leave behind the pain of the past.

Answering an advertisement for a "Lone Star bride," she leaves her Texas ranch and heads to Denver to marry a man she doesn't know.

Jake Wythe is the man waiting for her.

Burned by love, he marries now simply to satisfy the board of Morgan Bank, which believes a man of his standing in society should be wed. Together Jake and Marty agree they are done with romance and love and will make this nothing more than a marriage of convenience.

When missing money and a collapsing economy threaten his job, Jake's yearning to return to ranching grows ever stronger, much to Marty's dismay. But a fondness has grown between them, as well, further complicating matters.

What will happen when their relationship shifts in unexpected ways . . . and dreams and secrets collide?

My Thoughts: I read this right after reading Claiming Mariah, another really wonderful historical fiction and one of the first I'd been able to read in a long time. So, needless to say, I had really high hopes for this book too, even though it was by a different author the description of A Sensible Arrangement just sort of registered with me and made me curious to read more. I've read a few mail order bride/marriage of convenience books before, but this one was different. It had me on the edge of my seat and rooting for Marty and Jake all throughout--I literally could not get enough! I am very happy that this marks Tracie Peterson's 100th book as that means there are 99 previous ones for me to check out!  I highly recommend for those who love a good historical romance with a cast of characters that all have their own fresh voices and an author that has a writing style that leaves you anxious to see what happens next! *I received this book for review from Litfuse. This, however, in no way affected my thoughts expressed in this review.* About the Author:
