Della's Desire (Westward Home and Hearts Mail-Order Brides Book 36) Kindle Edition

by Elaine Manders (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (200)
Della Morrisey, a widow with two small children, needs a husband in the worst way. The bank is trying to put her ranch on the auction block. What man would take on all her problems? In desperation, she applies to the Westward Home and Hearts matrimonial agency to become a mail-order bride.
Eli Callahan intends to go west and claim a spread under the Homesteader’s Act, then find a wife. But when his employer catches his young wife with Eli in what looks like a compromising position, plans change. Although the wife has orchestrated the scene, Eli is fired and decides to find a mail-order bride. After discussing his situation with matchmaker Milly Crenshaw, he agrees to court Della while helping her save her ranch.
Della and Eli are as different as country and city, but they are instantly attracted to each other. Unfortunately, the townspeople are suspicious of Eli’s intentions. When his past troubles find him, bringing on suspicion and heartache, how can he convince Della of his love for her and her children?

I'm a retired Air Force (civilian) accountant living in Warner Robins, Georgia. My interests are varied. I enjoy reading and writing Christian historical romances and inspirational commentary, golf, sewing, crocheting, knitting, politics, history, science and mathematics. I attend church regularly, and God is the center of my life. I'm proud of the good job my daughter is doing rearing my three wonderful grandchildren. God and my family make up the inner circle of my life, but I want to reach out with understanding and love to others.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Desires of the heart.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Eli desired a ranch of his own, out west, and a wife and family. Fate throws him a curve that change it all.
    Della thought her husband had everything together and their ranch was doing well when he was accidentally killed, leaving her with 2 young children and a loan she hadn't known about. Now everything they'd built was in jeopardy and every single male wanted to marry her, in order to take control of her ranch.
    She desires a man who will love her for herself, but can she ever trust a man?
    Will a union of these two save them both?
    Great story with endearing characters. Enjoy!

    Sometimes a situation or even several situations are of a suspicious nature. How to know what is true or not may have to be taken on faith as Eli and Delia find out.

    I enjoyed "Della's Desire". You know from the beginning that the trouble Eli has at the beginning will come back to haunt him at a later time. Just when Eli and Della are finding happiness together, his past does come back. Though I thought the situation was wrapped up too quickly and would have liked more details at the end, the story as a whole is entertaining and well written. Della and Eli are both characters that the reader can root for.

    I enjoyed the book! Della was not sure about marrying Eli. Her two children were adorable and loved Eli as soon as they met him. This book is part of the Westward Home and Hearts series but it is a standalone book. I recommend reading this book!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Faith and integrity wins out over doubt and distrust.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book kind of reminded me of the story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife at the first. This is a story of two hard working honest people who have been caught up in bad circumstances and need each other desperately. It shows the plight of a widowed women with a large ranch in the 1800’s finding there’s more than one kind of varmint wanting to “handle “ things for her. It shows faith, gumption and love can overcome many things. There is action, false accusations, swindlers and even a Cinderella ball. Eli is a wonderful hero and his eagerly taking on Della’s financial problems and two young children and wanting them as is own along with his basic kindness and integrity shines through. Clean.
