The Adventurous Bride is a short mail-order bride story about a woman whose spirit can only flourish in the wild west. There really wasn't much chemistry, and in attempting to create a vibrant young woman, author built her up too much and neglected to create a suitable partner in the man. The guy's just too passive and lame compared to the heroine.
Ainsley was the adventurous girl and daughter of a carpenter who will never fit in high society, even though she's in a boarding school for such. Kenneth is a heartbroken man who left his life and love in Laramie behind (she married another man), determined to make a living in Buffalo Texas and needed a wife. Ainsley agreed to be a mail order bride and went to Texas... And Ken found that Ainsley is NOTHING like the girl he left behind...
Ainsley got so much spirit and energy, she can finish all her house chores, AND help Ken with carpentry! She's super-frontierswoman! Oh, please. Show SOME weakness, will ya? Why would she like a weak and lame guy like him?
