The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) By Cora Seton
4 Stars
A very predictable storyline but fun none the less. It makes a good wrap up to the series . A good series to read when you just want a feel good simple read. The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) While I liked the story, I would have liked it a lot more if Colt and Heather had learned to actually speak to each other. And I just wanted to slap everybody - Colt, Heather, Melanie, and Aunt Heloise - at the muddle they all got into and Heather especially for opening her mouth and saying about the dumbest thing imaginable. And seriously, Melanie, you've got this huge thing going on and you go radio silent for the four days leading up to it? And Colt, you never double checked to make sure she got your message? LIKE HELLO PEOPLE.
I actually blame the author, because she had to throw something in there to mess things up if she wanted this to be book length instead of a short story, but this was just so contrived.
I about cheered when Colt told Heloise to take the deed and shove it up her... Because somebody needed to. Four weddings and a baby in a year? I mean, I know it was for the story, but seriously. I was proud of Colt for not being willing to hurt Heather or Richard anymore. And I was proud of the rest of the Hall family for rallying round to do the right thing.
And what it is it with all these women getting knocked up the first time they try? Or don't try, as the case may be? Those Hall boys have some potent sperm.
But yeah. Just a little too unbelievable, even for a contrived setup. The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) This was an OK read, but not as full in terms of plot, and more far-fetched. I liked Colt well enough, Heather was OK, didn't seem as sweet as the other wives, but I guess her life has been rough.
The fact that all the lies and deception started and continued for Heloise's benefit was ridiculous, because she quite clearly wasn't fooled. The poor boy, Richard, seemed to have no one who could look after his floundering with the chaos created by the adults around him.
There was enough love and finally, sense in the end for Colt to stop the charade, but truly, this book could have wrapped up about a third of the way through for me.
Too bad, the other books were pretty good, but this last in the series fizzled. Oh well, still a happy ending, and no more books to feel compelled to complete the series. The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) By the time I got to this one... The main premise was wearing rather thin. I couldn't believe that 4 military hero brothers would lie to achieve their dreams. It doesn't fit for me although by now I was invested in the characters. The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride by Cora Seton.
This is the fifth book in the Heroes Of Chance Creek Series.
This was it.....
He was coming home......
But home is where the secrets and lies lay buried, he doesn't know if he can face them or his family??
She has kept this secret for twelve years, and time is running out to come clean. But when you have loved only one person for so long and have no idea if the feelings are the same, which way do you turn?
Will there be a happily ever after?
Will everyone get the one thing they want the most?
This book brought me to tears (Yes I am the biggest cry baby and a sucker for all heart-wrenching stories)!!
This ties up all the stories and all the members of this family together nicely, the heart wrenching decisions made through out this book leaves you feeling that everything was for nothing, the stress and strains brought forth for everyone is devastating.
I am glad this finishes on a happy ending, even if it isn't what others thought it would be. I am also glad that the annoying, cantankerous auntie was put in her place.
Lovely way to round up this story.
***** FIVE STARS ***** The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5)
Review The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5)
Tormented by the knowledge that his father died thinking the worst of him, Colt Hall never meant to come home to Chance Creek. But with his brothers banding together to rebuild the family’s old ranch, he’s finding it hard to stay away. In accordance with the conditions for them to inherit the spread, Colt must soon marry. Too bad the only woman he wants is Heather Ward, the girl he walked away from years ago without saying good-bye.
Heather hid a secret for twelve long years, but when the Halls moved back to town it was only a matter of time before the truth came out. Now everyone but Colt knows he has a son. She’ll get one chance to convince Colt to forgive her—and become the father Richard has always longed for. If she answers Colt’s online ad for a temporary wife, will he fall in love with her before he learns the truth?
Colt knows it’s crazy to try to find a wife through an internet ad, and it’s even crazier to fall for a stranger who wants far more than a temporary marriage, but Helena Warner reminds him so much of Heather, he begins to wonder if the two might be the same woman. Heather can’t believe she’s using a fake name to seduce the father of her own child, but is it possible Colt might know more about her true identity than he’s letting on?
Once all the lies and secrets are stripped bare, Colt and Heather must answer the ultimate question: can a love interrupted ever be renewed? The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5)
OK, wow! This novel brought out a lot of different emotions in me. I was sad, worried, panicked, relieved and then finally happy. If you've read the blurb or previous novels in this series, then you know about the crazy, manipulative aunt who requires the Hall brothers to marry within a year in order to inherit the family ranch. Well things get crazy and even ridiculous before our H/h's get their HEA. This story was a second chance at love for youngest brother Colt and the girl he left almost thirteen years prior. What a mistake that turned out to be! So many secrets! I really liked Heather and I worried about her at times.
Colt had me angry at times.
Seriously! What the hell was he thinking? I really didn't enjoy all the self-sacrificinig Colt and his brothers planned for themselves in order to get the ranch. How Colt could even think about doing what he almost did completely pissed me off. Thankfully he came to his senses and stood up to their aunt. The hell with the consequences. But what happens to the ranch? You'll have to read to find out. :)
There were some ridiculous and funny moments. Like...Hell, would I have the guts to do that? Probably not. Another good aspect of this novel was seeing all my favorite characters from previous Chance Creek novels.
One complaint I have is the fact that The Airman's E-Mail Order bride ended at 80%. That being said, I think this novel should have cost a little less than the $3.99 I paid if I compare length and cost to the other in the series. However, I really enjoyed reading this novel.
My Rating is 4 Stars!!! The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) I really enjoyed this story! U think since all the brothers are in the same predicament that their stories would be similar and predictable. I like how each story is unique with its own twists. Colts story was funny and ridiculous! I loved that! The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) Standalone/Cliffhanger: Standalone but part of a series

My Thoughts
I was most looking forward to Heather and Colt's book.
OH BOY. It started off really well and I was willing to give Heather a chance despite her mistakes with not telling Colt she was pregnant. However. The most stupidest, stupidest, stupidest mistake of hers was to say that Colt was engaged to Melanie. I actually threw my Kindle on my bed and punched my fist into the wall.
Huge spoilers coming through here.
It's been 30 minutes since I finished the book and started writing this review and I'm so annoyed. It may be that I'm slightly over emotional. I know that Helouise's character was meant to be this crazy, interfering Aunt we're meant to love, but I can tell you right now that by book 4 I despised her, there was nothing endearing about the hoops she made her great nephews jump through. They honestly should've told her to shove the deed up her arse and to fuck off there and then. The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) #5 in the Heroes of Chance Creek romance series
Following along with the previous books in this series, Colt is the youngest brother and the only one who hasn't yet married (to save the inheritance of their ranch from their eccentric aunt). Against his previous comments, he disengages himself from the Air Force and decides to come home, despite his fears that his brothers will hate him because of the actions he did when he was only 16. Seemed pretty weak as the basis for relationship problems, but apparently, he's been feeling guilty for years. The gang insists that Heather (his former lover) respond to his email, but in disguise, and that begins some sexting that sets the scene for getting back together. But Colt has also made arrangements with another woman who also comes to Chance Creek. Oops, when Heloise gets wind of this, she butts in and causes all sorts of problems. Cute, funny, great reconnections with previous characters, and a HEA. Only a brief novella to finish off this series, then I plan to move to another of Seton's Chance Creek series. Light and very enjoyable reads. The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5) Usually it's the heroine who is afflicted with severe angst and is an martyr. This time it's the hero. Well, the heroine has her moments as well, but, man, this hero is just not to be believed. The whole series is based on a quarrelsome old aunt who holds the title to the family ranch. She has proposed giving the ranch to four brothers, but only if they are married and one has a child within a year. Three of the four have complied and found true love and their Happily Ever Afters. Now it's Colt, the Airman's turn.
On the day his dad died 16 year old Colt Hall blew him off in favor of a tryst with his brothers ex-girlfriend and has carried the guilt ever since. When the family is evicted and forced to move by the evil uncle, Colt never even said goodbye to Heather.
Heather Ward was 17 years old when she got pregnant that day. Never hearing from Colt after, she assumed it just didn't mean as much to him and she didn't want to be responsible for causing a rift in the grieving family, so she kept her secret until the brothers began retuning to Chance Creek.
With help from the sisters-in-law Heather responds to Colt's ad for a temporary wife, but so does another woman. Heather takes it to a whole new sexy level and snares Colt's attention, big time. He proposes and everything looks wonderful . . . until their road to Happily Ever After hits some pretty big speed bumps that threaten to wreck their Happy Van. 3 1/2-Stars The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #5)
