MY THOUGHTS - Mail-Order Viscountess Author: Misty M. Beller

About the Book

Book: Mail-Order Viscountess

Author: Misty M. Beller

Genre: Christian historical romance

Release Date: June 9, 2026

Five sons of an English duke, all raised in the Rocky Mountains…

When a Montana blizzard strands two strangers in a cave, honor demands a vow neither of them want.

Nobody knows the truth about newly knighted Lord Thomas Balfour. He doesn’t deserve the being honor showered on him, so after this last trip with his brother and sister-in-law to Butte for supplies, he’ll leave this territory behind completely. But once he reaches town, he’s blindsided to discover his brothers have ordered him a bride by post. A woman complicates everything. And even worse—the bride has brought her sister.

Kate McKinney masterminded this journey west to rescue her younger sister from their controlling mother’s plans. Yet one look at the intended groom’s scowl, and Kate’s doubts bloom. Maybe this mail-order marriage scheme will be far worse for her beloved sister than the wealthy brute their ambitious mother arranged.

Thomas has no choice but to help escort the sisters back to the Balfour ranch. On the trail, a blizzard changes everything, tearing Thomas and Kate away from the others—straight into danger…

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a royal family saga featuring a mail-order bride, snowed-in peril, and an aristocratic marriage of convenience…all set in the rugged Montana Territory.

His Brothers Did What?! Meet the Hero of Mail-Order Viscountess

Every family has that one person who needs a little…nudging in the right direction.

For the Balfour brothers, that person is Thomas.

Lord Thomas Balfour is many things—newly knighted, fiercely capable, and absolutely convinced he doesn’t deserve any of it. He carries a secret that weighs on him heavier than the Montana snow, and he’s made up his mind: after one last supply run to Butte with his brother and sister-in-law, he’s leaving the territory for good. No fuss, no goodbyes. Just gone.

His brothers, of course, had other plans.

Because while Thomas was busy planning his quiet disappearance, his brothers were busy placing an ad—for a mail-order bride. For him. Without telling him a single word about it.

So imagine Thomas’s face when he arrives in Butte and discovers a woman waiting there to become his wife.

Actually, not one woman. Two.

Because the bride—Kate McKinney—has brought her sister along.

To say Thomas is less than thrilled would be an understatement. The scowl he greets them with says everything. A woman complicates his carefully laid plans. Two women? That’s a catastrophe.

But here’s what Thomas doesn’t know yet: Kate didn’t come west to trap a reluctant lord into marriage. She came to rescue her sister. And one look at Thomas’s stormy expression has her wondering if she’s made a terrible mistake—whether the Balfour brothers’ well-meaning scheme has landed her beloved sister somewhere far worse than the life they left behind.

Two people who don’t want to be there. One scheme cooked up by meddling brothers who love Thomas too much to let him walk away. And a Montana blizzard that’s about to strand them all together with no way out.

I pray you love Mail-Order Viscountess! J

Blessings!

MY THOUGHTS

Mail-Order Viscountess is book three in the Lord of the Rockies series that written by one of my favorite historical fiction authors, Misty M. Beller. I have read all the books in the series, you can read them as stand alones -but since this is a series following brothers, you will want to read them all. Plus, this series is probably my favorite of the author.

Lord Thomas Balfour is newly knighted. He does not feel worthy or adequate and wants to walk away from it all. He has lived a reckless life - and it has shown. However, his brothers have sent away for a bride for him….. And she comes with her own sister. Kate McKinney’s thought process was to rescue her younger sister from her mother’s ill fated plans. Her sister would be the intended for Thomas - but a blizzard takes fate into it’s own hands. It becomes a journey of survival.

I have been looking forward for Thomas’s story. I knew that it was going to be great, and boy was it ever. I loved that Kate also wanted to help her sister, and she finds out that her plans will not go the way that it plans - it shows that God’s plans are better then what we can whip up.

Well written characters, engaging storyline this is a MUST read for historical fiction fans. I love this author, and this series.

Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate LIt for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.

More from Naomi

Did you ever dream of running away with the circus? I must admit, it was never something I imagined doing, but like most kids of my generation, my wonderment did soar the first time I stepped foot beneath a “big top”. Some of those sensory memories stayed with me through the decades since, and of course, made their way into my novel. Nowadays, the trains or wagons no longer roll into town. There are very few circuses still around.

I grew up in the region not far from Barnum and Bailey’s Circus World in Wisconsin, but when traveling circuses were at their peak (much earlier than my day, I will add), there were nearly 100 of them traversing the country, nearly a third of them by rail. One of the largest was the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus based in southern Indiana. (Originally northern Indiana, but they transitioned to a warmer location where they wintered their animals.) They traveled in two trains—one that hauled the animals, laborers, and roustabouts, and the other that hauled the performers with their families and other work staff.

The circus was a city within itself, and more importantly, it became like family to most of the performers. Into this world is where my cast of characters gathers in The Girl from Tomorrow’s Town. Lily Mae Dodge is in search of just such a place to call home and people she can think of as family while she searches for her mother, lost to her when she was sent west on an orphan train as a child.

I never imagined myself writing a circus story, but when I learned about the real-life history of the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, and tragically, the terrible circus train crash that stands as the most devastating in history, I needed to get to know some of the performers and people who worked there. I also wanted to add my own characters in a way that would bring this historic circus family to life. To tell the story of the crash, it was important to me that I do it in a way that would honor the lives and memories of those who were involved.

“Tomorrow’s Town” is a circus phrase referring to the place of the next show. The traveling circus season was a busy one, and sometimes performers who were already looking ahead to the next show simply referred to the next location as “tomorrow’s town.” While The Girl from Tomorrow’s Town is set in 1918 during WWI when the tragedy took place, it is primarily a story of hope, dreams, love, healing, and found family.

I hope you enjoy Lily and Francis’s story, and that you’ll settle into dazzling discovery with the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus!

MY THOUGHTS

The Girl from Tomorrow’s Town is book five in the Enduring Hope Series. This story is written by Naomi Musch. The series is written by various authors - but are all tied together with the Enduring Hope theme. I have not read all of the books in the series, and each one can be read as a stand alone. I think one of my favorite things in this series, is this is based off the real life event of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus train crash.

Lilly was sent west on the orphan train, and she wants to find her mother. However, she gets arrested in Chicago. She finds herself befriending, Francis and he helps her find a job within the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus. I love that the author has created flawed characters. Lilly, being an orphan and Francis being visually impaired. I love stories where people are relatable and do not come from perfect backgrounds.

I love how the author kept a lot of rich historical detail into the story. I felt that I was learning alot from the story. I had no idea what a roustabout was - but I felt myself in the middle of the circus. I love the cover of this book, the characters, the scenes and so much more.

Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
