About The Book
From the beloved author of Kit McBride Gets a Wife comes another wildly charming historical rom-com filled with swoony cowboys, matchmaking disasters, and laugh-out-loud chaos. Set in the spirited town of Buck’s Creek, this irresistible love story delivers meddling family, slow-burn romance, and heart-melting small-town charm — perfect for fans of cozy western romances, witty banter, and unforgettable happily-ever-afters.
Beau McBride is finally ready to settle down and find a wife — or at least that’s what he keeps telling everyone. Handsome, charming, and wildly overconfident, Beau is certain marriage will be easy. His sharp-tongued little sister Junebug knows better. Determined to save her brother from himself, she secretly places her own advertisement for a mail-order bride in The Matrimonial News.
What starts as a sibling rivalry quickly spirals into complete chaos when seven women arrive in Buck’s Creek, Montana, all expecting to marry Beau McBride.
Shy dreamer Ellie Neale never intended to become a bride herself. She only answered an ad so she could follow her dazzling best friend Diana out West and avoid being left behind. But when the two women arrive in Montana, they discover they’ve both signed up for the same husband — alongside five other hopeful brides, each more determined than the last.
Suddenly Beau finds himself at the centre of a full-blown matrimonial competition, complete with matchmaking disasters, jealous rivals, and enough romantic chaos to bring Buck’s Creek to its knees. But while every woman in town is trying to win Beau’s heart, the only one he can’t stop thinking about is the quiet, clever woman who wants absolutely nothing to do with him.

Raves and Reviews
‘Sweet, hilarious and totally delicious, Seven Brides for Beau McBride is the perfect book to escape into. I adore this series!’
– Hannah Grace
‘A jewel of a novel. It had me snort laughing and swooning all at once. The perfect romantic escape from today’s troubles that I didn’t know I needed. Please can I request the TV series!’
– Tess Woods
‘Bless yore beautiful hide, Amy Barry. I’m in seventh heaven after devouring the latest McBride adventure. Ellie and Beau are adorably unputdownable!’
– Amy Andrews
‘Thank goodness there are so many McBride siblings, what a delight to be back in the glorious chaos of Buck's Creek, Montana: I love it here. Author Amy Barry has hit her stride with her third instalment of this beloved series, a pitch-perfect epistolary romance. Beau's story is driven by a bet with his willful sister Junebug, who orders up no less than six mail-order brides to compete with the one Beau found himself, resulting in a kind of frontier version of The Bachelor. There's a classic Cyrano situation with loyal Ellie writing her beautiful friend Diana's letters to Beau. There are mistletoe kisses and stolen moments, a Christmas dance and a marauding bear. Pure joyful, hilarious escape.’
– Clare Fletcher
‘Seven Brides for Beau McBride is the sparkling, swoony, and laugh-out-loud funny romance we all need right now. The perfect tonic for these turbulent times. You’ll be smiling all the way through.’
– Mimi Matthews
'What a delight to be back in Bitterroot with the McBrides! True to form, Amy Barry brings us hijinks, hilarity, and a wonderfully sweet love story that had me smiling from start to finish. With cast of characters who will have you laughing, sighing, and swooning, Seven Brides for Beau McBride is a keeper!’
– Elizabeth Everett
‘Seven Brides for Beau McBride is a rollicking good time. It’s a joyful romp of a book with a deep emotional heart that pulls you in and refuses to let you go, even after you’ve turned the last page. It’s a love letter to friends, to letters themselves, and to little sisters taking matters into their hands.'
– Jodi McAlister
