From BESTSELLING author Stevie MacFarlane, comes the final book in The Marriage Market series!
Martha Jonas can’t seem to help feeling a bit sorry for herself. Ever since the accident that nearly took Euphemia and Suzanna from them, the men are more determined than ever to assert their authority. Even her gentle Ethan, the man she plans to marry, has put his foot down, telling her what she must and must not do. It’s appalling! The very idea that, as her husband, the big Swede would feel justified – no, worse than that – entitled to pull her over his lap and smack her bottom when she displeases him is simply too much to bear.
Perhaps she won’t marry at all. Yes, she is on the other side of twenty-five, but she’s also smart, talented, and turned a tidy profit with her dress shop in Philadelphia before she foolishly replied to that darn advertisement of Hugh’s. He’d wanted a bride… one. He got dozens of offers, which, of course, made the women-hungry men of Seattle happy, but didn’t do much for her. Many of the other applicants were younger, prettier, and often so flighty she wanted to box their ears.
Martha didn’t see herself as silly. An independent woman was not a good match for a dominating man. Not at all, and Ethan was becoming more so by the day. No, she would not marry. The money she had in the bank would help her get started and her friends would help. The new Ladies Aide Society would give her plenty to do outside of her shop and she would dedicate herself to serving those women less fortunate than she, and to shutting down Seattle’s saloons. While Martha was a novice to the Temperance Movement, Clara Webster, another unmarried bride, seemed to know exactly how to proceed.
That, of course, is before all hell breaks loose.
In the space of a few days, everything changes. The men find out about the secret plans for ‘that temperance nonsense.’ They are not amused. Jane’s children go missing on their way west, and their escort turns out to be less than desirable. Dr. Martin is furious. She does not come home that night. Clara Webster falls into the hands of Lucas Armstrong, the owner of The Bucket of Blood, one of the most notorious saloons in Seattle. Mary disappears entirely, and Ethan finally decides he’s had enough of Martha’s wishy-washy attitude toward marriage. With Amelia, Effie, Grace, and Tempest already in trouble and Suzanna off on her honeymoon, Martha works frantically to put everything to rights. Elinore is no help. She has her hands full trying to manage her Mr. Ferguson while he’s determined to keep Ellie from damaging his business. Come along for the ride. Will the last bride bow to convention and accept the love and authority of the man who offers what might be her last chance for wedded bliss?
Martha is the fifth book in the Marriage Market series and while it can be read as a stand-alone, the reader would benefit from reading the books of this best-selling series in order.
Martha The Marriage Market Book 5 edition by Stevie MacFarlane Blushing Books Romance eBooks
I was happy to see that Ms. MacFarlane published Martha's story! This is a wonderful story filled with romance, action, adventure, and lots of humor! As other readers have mentioned, it is helpful to have read the previous stories in order to get the most out of this one. We get to see all of the brides, including the previous 4, and all are up to great antics much to the chagrin of their husbands/intendeds. I loved how Martha finally overcame her fear of discipline and that Ethan was never overly harsh or controlling, even allowing her to keep her dress shop next to the Bucket of Blood saloon! Several other brides also found their mates - I only wish that each had had their own fully fledged story, because I'd have loved to have read more about Jane, Mary, and Clara. The only part of the story I didn't care for was Lucas's manipulation of Clara - suffice it to say, if any of the ladies had lied to or manipulated their husbands the way he did to Clara, they wouldn't have sat for a week! I only wish Clara had confronted Lucas about this - and Lucas would have groveled for a while. Thankfully, there was some retribution at the end. 4.5 stars overall.Product details

Martha The Marriage Market Book 5 edition by Stevie MacFarlane Blushing Books Romance eBooks Reviews
I just finished the 5 th book and am planning on reading them again soon. I love how you made me adore each of the brides. I look forward to reading more of your books.
Best book I've read in a while, I loved it. This might be my favorite one of the series!
Read all 5 books in the Marriage market series. This was the best. Love all the books by Stevie MacFarlane
This is a great series,with characters you can't help getting attached to. I'm sorry to see it end! If you haven't read them, what are you waiting for?
Mrs. MacFarlane is one of my favorite authors. I have read and re-read all of her books more than once. Her characters are fun the story is always great. You won't regret buying any of her books!
I loved how Ms. MacFarlane concluded The Marriage Market series. I always felt like Martha was hemming and hawing over her marriage to Ethan so it was nice to see the passion explode between the two of them.
I especially loved the relationships between Lucas and Clara and Dalton and Suzanna. It was great to see how much Suzanna has changed and matured after her ordeal in book 4.
It was also wonderful to see all of the other brides get their happily ever after. ❤️
This is not just Martha's story but involves
all the characters from the previous books.
As usual, things don't run smoothly due to the
constant mischief by the women of Seattle.Without their
husbands or their fiancées knowledge,they start to
plan a temperance movement.Obtaining the
premises next to the notorious saloon in town
is only the start of the fun.I loved the humor in
this book and it made me laugh out loud many
times.This was a story that weaves friendships
into romance.A great balance between fine
writing,good pace,action,danger and comedy.
A great book with a imaginative use of
language to create a amusing set of characters.
I highly recommend this book.
