| Five sons of an English duke, all raised in the Rocky Mountains… A marriage born of duty. A love neither expected. When Enoch Balfour’s eldest brother tragically dies, the weight of family responsibility falls on his shoulders. Now this Montana rancher must train for his role as the next Duke of Clarence—and marry the mail-order bride his brother sent for. Hardened by loss, Enoch has no intention of opening his heart to a stranger, but duty demands he produce an heir. Mandie Beaumont is a desperate young widow fleeing the sinister advances of her brother-in-law. After arriving in the Montana Territory to marry a man she’s never met, an accident leaves her robbed of her recent memories—memories that conceal a devastating secret. When she discovers she’s carrying a child conceived through betrayal and violence, Mandie fears rejection and ruin. Yet, in Enoch, she finds an unexpected protector whose fierce gentleness makes her long to trust again. Though Mandie’s charm and resilience begin to thaw Enoch’s guarded heart, he struggles with his fear of loss. When Mandie’s past resurfaces, Enoch must risk everything to save her. If he fails, Mandie will be torn from him—and the love they’ve begun to embrace could be lost forever. |  |

My Review
Can they find the peace they so desperately need....
I've enjoyed several of Misty M. Beller's series set in Montana so I was excited to see a new one in that much-loved setting. I'll also admit that the series name, Lords Of The Rockies, sounded quite intriguing as well.
Mail-Order Duchess lived up to expectation. It has the sweet historical romance punctuated with moments of pulse-pounding danger that I've come to expect from this author. It also features Misty M. Beller's almost trademark small cast of characters, it is so much easier for the reader to keep track of precisely who is who and get a chance to know each of them, and there is even a fun cameo appearance of a couple of characters from another book/series.
A little shorter than some of her other titles, Mail-Order Duchess was a good read and I finished it rather quickly. I genuinely liked both Mandie and Enoch right from the start. Each of them has a past and both are harboring intense pain and very understandable fears. By the final pages of this Lords Of The Rockies book they will both have to face their fears and just maybe conquer them together.
Misty M. Beller is off to a good new series start with this book. I did like Mail-Order Duchess and am now quite interested in reading the next title in the Lords Of The Rockies series. If you enjoy a good faith-filled historical romance and a western frontier setting give this book and series a try....
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Mail-Order Duchess by Misty M. Beller a 4 Bark rating.

Hello Reader Friends!
I’m BEYOND excited to share a brand new series with you! This idea has been percolating in my mind for a couple years now—a mash-up of two of my favorite historical romance genres: Regency England and the rugged American West.
In the Lords of the Rockies series, you’ll meet the five sons of an English duke who were sent to the wilds of the Montana Territory for their protection when they were boys. They’ve grown up there, become ranchers and mountain men in their own right.
It’s Regency meets the Rockies as these aristocratic brothers navigate the challenges of ranch life.
I’m especially excited to introduce you to the first book in the series, Mail-Order Duchess!
Enoch Balfour is one of my all-time favorite heroes…so incredibly swoony. He’s the second son, which means he never thought he would have to return to England and take over his father’s role as the Duke of Clarence. But now his eldest brother has passed in an unexpected riding accident. And Enoch has become the heir intended.
Can you imagine how hard that must have been? Suddenly having to leave the only life you’ve ever known to take up the duties of a title an ocean away?
And then there’s Mandie Beaumont, a young widow hoping for a fresh start in Montana. But when she arrives, an accident steals her recent memories, leaving her with no idea why she left her comfortable life in Savannah to travel across the country and marry a rancher she’s never met. Or maybe her previous life wasn’t so comfortable…
Can you imagine waking up one day to find yourself in a strange place with no recollection of how you got there or what you were running from?
I don’t want to give away too much, but let’s just say Mail-Order Duchess has all the ingredients for a story you won’t be able to put down—a marriage of convenience, hidden secrets, and an unlikely romance blossoming in the face of incredible odds. I’m so excited to share this story with you!
I’ve had such fun crafting the unique premise of an English aristocratic family making their way in the American West. Get ready for more heartfelt Western adventures tinged with Regency flair as the Lords of the Rockies series continues!
I pray you love Mail-Order Duchess!
Blessings!
