Publisher's summary

A rising star in Christian fiction, Karen Witemeyer brilliantly blends humor and romance in this compelling debut novel.

Texas liveryman Jericho “J.T.” Tucker wants nothing to do with the town’s new dressmaker, Hannah Richardson. He’s all too familiar with her kind - shallow, more devoted to fashion than true beauty. Except for her well-tailored clothing, however, she’s not at all what he expected. Although J.T.’s assumptions and gruff manner rile Hannah, she finds her heart strangely stirred by him - and by his unexpected acts of kindness.

I love this author’s way with humor!

I continue to be delighted by this author. I love stories that make me chuckle, and she gets it!

Very glad I checked this one out!

Would you consider the audio edition of A Tailor-Made Bride to be better than the print version?

I never read the print version, so I don't know. I don't really think one would be better than the other though.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Tailor-Made Bride?

The whole section when J.T. goes out to search for Hannah in the storm, and the little bit afterwards. It's incredibly romantic and sweet. Very touching.

What does Nicole Poole bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

The laughter and fun that you might just skip over when reading. You can see the smirks and smiles as she's reading.

If you could rename A Tailor-Made Bride, what would you call it?

It's a great title, honestly, and I can't think of anything to change it too... Maybe A Tailor-Made Romance, instead of Bride.

Any additional comments?

I'm really glad I took the chance on this one. I've now discovered a new Christian author that I have come to enjoy. After listening to this book, I bought her other two, and I'm incredibly happy to have done so. This being Karen Witemeyer's first book, you can really see how she's growing in her writing. Head in the Clouds was great, as was To Win Her Heart.

The thing I love most about her books is that the relationships are real. The main characters don't beat around the bush or let little petty misunderstandings get in the way of things. Sure there are things to work through, but it's incredibly sweet. I highly recommend A Tailor-Made Bride. :)

Oh my gosh what a book

This book was a fun, a little suspenseful, light happy read. The narrator definitely made the book. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends. Go get it now.

Delightful

Really enjoyed this story! Wonderful characters, storyline and narration!

Ready to listen to more!

Oddly Enjoyable

Where does A Tailor-Made Bride rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'm not one for sappy Christian romances. I typically find they lack depth and meaning. I enjoyed this one, however. Not as much as some, but it wasn't as terrible as I would have imagined from prior experiences.

What three words best describe Nicole Poole’s voice?

Not my favorite. I thought I would have enjoyed this book more had it been narrated by someone else. I didn't find her voice to suit the characters - specifically Hanna.

Any additional comments?

It wasn't a total waste of time, I enjoyed it and it was pretty light listening. It was a little cheesy, though. Luckily the storyline ramped up and made up for that.

Never lets me down

I love Karen Witemeyer she does a great job at keeping your interest keeping you guessing. Never stop I love your 📕. May God bless all you do.

Own in print and audio!

I’ve read this book multiple times and decided to get the audio as well. Narrator did a good job!

My Musings

At one point, I almost stopped listening to this one. The hero and heroine were constantly bickering but by the time it ended, I liked the characters. A mostly happy reader and listener!

Clean and wholesome love story!

I’m really enjoying this author’s books! Being a student of the Bible the added occasional verse or lesson is nice. The only thing I have noticed is that at times the understanding of some of the scriptures is skewed. But understanding comes through more study.
I look forward to reading more from this author! The narrator is top notch also!

Pretty good story.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes...I like her books. They are good christian stories and makes me think of Little House on the Prairie or the Love Comes Softly series.

If you’ve listened to books by Karen Witemeyer before, how does this one compare?

Yes...I listened to To Win Her Heart. Although I liked this one, I enjoyed that one even more. While the characters are good in this book, they aren't as deep as the ones in To Win Her Heart.

Which scene was your favorite?

I would have to say when J.T. saves Hannah...you can tell that after that things change so much between the two of them...call it the hopeless romantic in me...but I loved it!

Did A Tailor-Made Bride inspire you to do anything?

I don't know that it inspired me...but it really brought out the point that you can't judge a book by it's cover or in this case, people. :)

Any additional comments?

Overall it was a good story...worth a listen.
