Welcome back to Romance Sweet Reads. Today we're going to continue with our feature of a new series of sweet/inspirational, western historical romances. The series, RESCUE ME (Mail-Order Brides) consists of twenty-five books, releasing once per week, every Monday. So, sit back and enjoy!
The sixth book in the Rescue Me (Mail Order Brides) series, is Josie, by Author Lynne Lanning.
Josie and her ma were desperate to save their farm. George wanted their farm and Josie wanted to know why. Something wasn’t right.
Praying for the Lord to guide and protect her, she impulsively buys a newspaper, secretly responding to an ad for a mail-order bride.
While feeling at peace about her decision, George becomes forceful about their marriage.
When disaster leaves them destitute, they escape from George, fleeing to Wyoming, where Josie’s future husband, Micah, awaits.
Micah is everything Josie had ever dreamed of, with a future filled with love and hope; until her ma comes up missing, and George shows up, wearing guns, threatening…
But that's not the only trouble they face...
Will they ever overcome all the adversities? They cling to each other and their faith in God to get them through. Is it really meant for them to be together?

Micah recognized Josie before she stepped down, rushing to help her. When their eyes met, they both stood frozen for a moment.
“Josie?” he asked as he took her hand.
She nodded as her smile radiated brighter than the sun itself. “Micah?”
Forgetting manners and propriety, Micah took her in his arms and lifted her down off the step, taking his time about releasing her on the platform. They stood there and stared at each other, holding
hands, while Diane quickly nudged Mark to help her ma off the train
steps.
“Josie,” Micah swallowed hard. “You are much more beautiful than I imagined.”
She blushed. “Thank you, Micah.” Breaking her eyes away from his, she glanced at the flowers.
He hadn’t even remembered them until that moment. “Oh, these are for you. And I guess I need to see about your luggage and get you off this platform. I’m sure you are exhausted from your trip,
but I have my brother and sister-in-law here with me. I hope you don’t mind. We hoped to take you and your ma to supper.”
Still, they stood looking at each other, until Diane and Mrs. Griffin walked up to them.
“Micah, this is Mrs. Griffin, and you must be Josie.” She broke their trance when she pulled Josie into a tight hug.
Micah started coming back to his senses and greeted Mrs. Griffin, as Diane started moving them toward the buggy.
Mark had retrieved their luggage and was starting to load it when Micah noticed and hurried to help him. “Isn’t she beautiful, Mark?”
Mark smiled at him. “Yes, she is, brother. You did good. Now let’s hope she is as taken with you as you apparently are with her.”
“Josie?” he asked as he took her hand.
Forgetting manners and propriety, Micah took her in his arms and lifted her down off the step, taking his time about releasing her on the platform. They stood there and stared at each other, holding

Lynne Lanning has such an effortless way of evoking emotion from her readers. Her characters are so realistic that the reader can feel their pain during trials and their joy during triumphs. Reviews state: "...it's as if Mrs. Lanning lived through this herself." "Couldn't put it down..." "A real page turner."
Lynne enjoys turning history and her love of God into enjoyable, relatable stories with practical life lessons that can benefit people today. Each story tells of true bonds of love and loyalty, mixed with tough times and decisions, with a twist of humor and sometimes devastation...the same is true in life. With a blend of her own family members and heritage along with lots of fiction, it's hard to tell where reality stops and fantasy begins.
Women on the run! But from what? Will they need rescuing? Or, will these intrepid heroines have the faith and the strength to rescue themselves while finding their ultimate reward? True love!
