The well-educated daughter of a lawyer, Trudy Bauer, arrives at the St. Louis based Mail-Order Brides of the West agency full of excitement for an adventure of a lifetime. She befriends the agency's maid, Evie Davenport, and the two form a strong and lasting friendship. They vow to stay in contact through letters when Evie takes hold of her destiny and arranges a marriage on the sly.

Very nice narration and enjoyable story

Would you consider the audio edition of Mail-Order Brides of the West: Evie: McCutcheon Family Series, Book 3 to be better than the print version?

This was a nice story with the writer and reader making it a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon experience. If you want a lot of complex characters, this isn't a book for you. However, if you just want a nice book about nice people in a beautiful area of the country, you can't do much better.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It's a little predictable, but that's OK if you just want a pleasant read without a lot of complexity.

Which scene was your favorite?

The description of the stage coach ride! I would have never survived a ride in one.

Any additional comments?

My great-grandmother was a mail order bride, and I have often wondered how she ever left her home and family to marry a man she didn't know. This book gave a good perspective on how these young women coped with the changes in their lives.

Fun Series.

I decided to read the McCutcheon Family series because a review compared Fyffe's writing style to Catherine Anderson who I love. I have not been disappointed!

Mail Order Brides of the West: Evie

What made the experience of listening to Mail-Order Brides of the West: Evie: McCutcheon Family Series, Book 3 the most enjoyable?

The performance was really good. She distinguished between characters very well. She had a pleasant voice as well. I read so fast and sometimes have to re read paragraphs so having it read to me makes it more "alive" and I don't miss anything.

Chance, Evie's husband. He was such a man with lots of humor and much patience for his new wife. He was a strong character with a good heart and was ready at anytime to protect his love.
