Rated: 3.81 of 5 starsEllie So here’s the deal. I’m sixteen and I’m getting married. Super weird, I know. My dad is a cattle rancher in Montana. Or he was, until he died suddenly, leaving me an orphan (which is still a thing). I’m sixteen months away from being a legal adult, so I have two choices. Foster home, or married. To Jake Talley. The foreman of the ranch and my best friend. It’s legal. It solves all my problems... moreEllie So here’s the deal. I’m sixteen and I’m getting married. Super weird, I know. My dad is a cattle rancher in Montana. Or he was, until he died suddenly, leaving me an orphan (which is still a thing). I’m sixteen months away from being a legal adult, so I have two choices. Foster home, or married. To Jake Talley. The foreman of the ranch and my best friend. It’s legal. It solves all my problems. Except now I’m living with Riverbend’s hottest cowboy - my husband (in name only of course) - and I’m still in high school. Trust me, no one wants to date Weird Married Ellie. But it’s cool. All we have to do is wait it out until I'm eighteen and we'll get a divorce. Then Jake and I will go back to being normal. We’ve got this. Right? Jake I’m twenty-six, and I never saw this coming. Married. To a kid I’ve known her whole life. But there was no way in hell I was going to let her live at a foster home, instead of at the ranch where she belongs. Sure we’re married but it’s not real. Just a piece of paper. My girlfriend is furious but I know I’m doing the right thing - for Ellie. For sixteen months, it’s me and her against the world - until the divorce. No big deal. Or is it? less

The Wife (The Bride #2)
S. Doyle
Rated: 3.79 of 5 starsEllie I married Jake Talley when I was sixteen because I was an orphan left with a cattle ranch to run, and getting hitched was the only way to keep me out of a foster home. It was supposed to be easy; a marriage of convenience. Only I'm not a kid anymore and my husband is the hottest guy in Riverbend, Montana. The plan was to get divorced when I turned eighteen but life got in the way. Life, my feelings…the kiss. Did I mention the kiss? Only now he won’t let himself touch me... moreEllie I married Jake Talley when I was sixteen because I was an orphan left with a cattle ranch to run, and getting hitched was the only way to keep me out of a foster home. It was supposed to be easy; a marriage of convenience. Only I'm not a kid anymore and my husband is the hottest guy in Riverbend, Montana. The plan was to get divorced when I turned eighteen but life got in the way. Life, my feelings…the kiss. Did I mention the kiss? Only now he won’t let himself touch me. The right thing to do would be to divorce Jake and set him free. Neither of us had a choice in this marriage. But I can’t help wonder, what would it be like to be Jake’s wife? Jake Our marriage was never real. Only walking away wasn’t as easy as I’d thought. Ellie still needs me. And maybe I don’t want to go? I kissed her when I shouldn’t have. All the more reason for me to leave. I know can’t have her. Because Ellie isn’t really my wife. Or is she? less

The Lover (The Bride #3)

Rated: 3.81 of 5 starsEllieQuick recap. My dad died leaving me an orphan. Jake stepped in and married me rather than letting me go to a foster home. Did I mention I was only sixteen at the time?It was okay for a while until it wasn’t. Because those feelings that I had for Jake as my oldest friend slowly turned into something else over the years. Feelings he could NOT deal with. So I did the right thing and divorced him. It was the right thing. I’m pretty sure it was the right thing... moreEllieQuick recap. My dad died leaving me an orphan.

I had to let her see there was more to the world than the ranch. Than me. She’s never had a choice really, in any of this. I think I did the right thing. I know I did the right thing. Did I do the right thing? More importantly if I didn’t… how do I get her back? less
