In the rough and rugged Montana Territory, the journey to true love is filled with unexpected twists—and sweet rewards—for daring frontier women who faithfully believe every heart has a home . . .
With the help of the Archer Matrimonial Company, Yancey Palmer has finally put Hale Adams, the man she’s loved for ten years—sometimes not wisely or well—behind her. Yancey is so sure of her love for the man the agency matched her with, she readily promises a friend that she’ll help Hale with his mayoral campaign without chasing him.
Hale has also engaged the services of the matrimonial agency. He’s so pleased with one lady, he requests that she join him in Helena to commence a sixty-day courtship. But instead, the Archer ladies arrive in town to reveal the true identities of both Hale’s and Yancey’s matches: each other. Can they look past their misunderstandings and hurt to see that they are still a perfect match?

Vikki’s Musings
Thanks goes to the publisher, via Net-Galley, for an advance reader copy of The Telegraph Proposal. This is a western romance set in Montana. My opinions are my own and are not influence in any way.
The Telegraph Proposal is an enchanting story with delightful characters and an emotionally-charged plot. The pacing is good and kept my attention from the first page to the last. The authors’ writing is descriptive and painted an authentic picture of the times.
Yancey Palmer’s character is vivacious and friendly. She enjoys life and it shows in her interaction with her friends. She’s finally ready to move on from her infatuation for Hale Adams, one she’s fostered for ten years. I loved her reaction when she finds out the man, she’s been corresponding with, is none other than Hale!
Imagine Hale’s chagrin when he learns that the woman, he plans to wed, is Yancey Palmer, a woman who has been a thorn in his side for years. He accuses her of being behind the charade. He does not come across in the best light when he jumps to that conclusion!
Hale’s uncle convinces him to let Yancey run his campaign for mayor of Helena. Can the two put aside their differences and work side by side to get him elected, or will their animosity ruin all?
Hale Adams is an interesting hero. I liked him even when he was being bull-headed. Underneath, he is a good Christian man, just a bit too strong willed. As he spends time with Yancey, re realizes he has formed a great many misconceptions regarding Yancey’s character. I enjoyed the change in him, and it added a great deal to my enjoyment of this book.
The romance blossoms slowly, but it’s no less rewarding for that. I liked the characters individually and as a couple. They worked well together, and I was glad when they found their happy ending.
If you enjoy clean western romances with engaging characters and an intriguing plot, then you will like The Telegraph Proposal. This is the first book I’ve read by either author, but I will be looking at other books they have written. Happy reading!

BECCA WHITHAMOne day at work, I saw an article in the newspaper about how the army was so desperate for chaplains they had raised the age limit to forty-seven. Fifteen months later, I was an army wife at the ripe old age of forty-six. Ten months into my new life, I was facing a year-long deployment. My husband made me promise that, while he was gone, I would do something about all the stories I'd written through the years. I joined the local American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) group in September, 2010 and got my first contract in March, 2014.
