Karolyn James writing as Claire Charlins -
In the 1800’s, many men traveled west
seeking opportunity. Some went to California in search of gold. Some
settled in the Midwest and farmed land. What came next was that these
men didn’t have women to marry. And the women who were east had
their own troubles… many of them lost their husbands in the Civil
War. It didn’t take long before women began to travel west for
marriage. And thanks to small town publications matching men and
women via letters, thus creating mail order bride services, women
were able to seek opportunities west. But these opportunities
sometimes came with heartache of their own…
– West For Love – In the
number one, bestselling Western ebook in the Kindle store, a young
woman travels west to become a mother to an infant. She must become a
mother to a baby that isn’t hers, while struggling with her own
inability to conceive, and she must become a wife to a man who is
hurt and distant.
– Finding Love West – The
next book in the Mail Order Romance series takes a young woman
to Kansas where she falls in love with the brother of the man she’s
set to marry. Once married she finds her world turned upside down
when a man with a gun comes looking for debts to be paid.
– A Marriage West – In the
third book published, a young woman finds herself at a train depot in
the heart of Kansas. There’s a problem…the man she’s suppose to
marry doesn’t show. She’s then robbed of her money and left alone
with the night coming. Then a stranger shows up and romance begins to
flourish. But can she forget her morals and marry someone else when
she hasn’t learned the true fate of the man she accepted the
proposal from?
The Mail Order Romance is set to
continue for the rest of 2013 and well into 2014! It’s also been
announced that another Western Romance series will come from the
Claire Charlins pen name!

**Reviews for London Casey:
Read all 3 books in a week! Would
wake up at four in the morning and start reading again. Never knew
what was coming next. I laughed, I cried and I burned dinner ‘cause
I was reading my book! I was sad to see it end ‘cause I knew it was
the last book in the series. – Some Kind of Hell
Great read. I liked this one a
little more than the first. I thought Tripp was sexy hot but after
this I think Tatum might rival that!!! – Torn to Pieces
The story of pain, conflict
and the beginning of redemption. Tripp and Scarlett's relationship is
difficult, they are two damaged souls. They are trying to cope with
the hurt, each one in a different way. They find silence within each
other and that is what they needed to start the healing ... Looking
forward to the next book ... – The Stronger, Safer Kind
