Spotlight Tour: Marrying Off Morgan McBride by Amy Barry




As the eldest McBride, Morgan has had play parent since Ma died and Pa ran off. It hasn't always been easy, especially when his heart longs to roam the trail. But now that his brother Kit is married, Morgan can finally leave Buck's Creek.


Little does he know that his noisy little sister Junebug is determined to keep him home. An advertisement in The Matrimonial News should do the trick!

Epiphany Hopgood is really good at doing the wrong thing. She’s too tall, too loud, too opinionated, and too contrary for her family. Just as she is about to admit defeat and become a spinster, she and her grandmother stumble upon an ad for a bride…

But when Pip shows up to Buck’s Creek, she finds that Morgan McBride is not the husband she expected. In fact, he doesn’t even want to be a husband.

Is there a way to make everyone happy out on the Montana frontier?



I am loving The McBrides of Montana series, and Morgan McBride is certainly no exception.

Morgan McBride is the eldest McBride and now that one of his brothers is happily married, he feels he can leave the family. He has been itching to get back out and head up a cattle drive… to see the country. But Junebug has a fierce attachment to him and refuses to let him leave. Figuring that since her first advertisement for a wife for her brother worked so well, she would try again and find one for Morgan.

Epiphany (Pip) Hopgood has been lead to believe that she is very plain and will become a spinster. Every prospect that her family lined up in Nebraska has declined. And now Pip doesn’t want to be beholden to taking care of her parents. With help from her spritely grandmother, they respond to an ad and find themselves headed to Montana. Only problem is, Morgan has no idea she is coming or that she is his intended fiancĂ©. Being fiercely stubborn, Pip isn’t going to take no for an answer or tuck tale and head back home.

So what happens? You will definitely want to one click this hilarious, endearing story. And rest assured things will get steamy between Morgan and Pip.
