Publisher's summary

After fulfilling a pledge to a dying friend, Zacharias Hamilton is finally free. No family entanglements. No disappointing those around him. Just the quiet bachelor existence he's always craved. Until fate snatches his freedom away when the baker of his favorite breakfast bun is railroaded by the city council. Despite not wanting to get involved, he can't turn a blind eye to her predicament...or her adorable dimples.

Abigail Kemp needs a man's name on her bakery's deed. A marriage of convenience seems the best solution...if it involves a man she can control. That person definitely isn't the stoic lumberman who oozes silent confidence whenever he enters her shop. Control Zacharias Hamilton? She can't even control her pulse when she's around him.

When vows are spoken, Abigail's troubles should be over. Yet threats to the bakery worsen, and darker dangers hound her sister. Can she put ever more trust in Zach without losing her dreams of independence?

Enjoyed this Story

Another great book by Karen Witemeyer. This is the second book in the series Patchwork Family. I enjoyed this book as much as the first. I would recommend both books. The characters are very easy to love. This story has a message of healing and forgiveness as well as trust. Well written and enjoyable.

Good story

This was a good plot and great characters. I like that they are NOT "the most handsome" or "most beautiful," but were pleasing to each other. However, while the first book in the series moved along nicely, this one stalled with way too much sappy, eye-rolling filler. I swear that authors write a great book, then their publishers tell them to put more romance and sensuality in it. (Insert eye roll!). Just get to the point and get on with the story! We're not all a bunch of silly middle-school girls.

This narrator was pretty good overalo, but she too made her narration a bit silly.

I'm glad I listened to it as it was a good story.

A wonderful heart-throbbing love story

As with so many of Karen Witemeyer’s books, More Than Words Can Tell is filled with deep emotion and totally “ brings the reader/listener into “ the tale.
This has been my second time listening to this audiobook. My enjoyment of it was just a strong as the 1st time. The characters seem so real and endearing. The sentiment from earlier years, when respect, public behavior,manners, and integrity were very important only enhances this story.
This audiobook borders between “mail order brides” and proper British society rules.
For months after the death of her father, Abigail continued to efficiently run the Family-owned tBakery as she had for the past years her father had been so ill. Now, although she had been current on paying taxes and the bills, the Mayor and the Town Council is demanding she sell her Bakery or find a male partner too own the shop and sponsor her or else she was to move out within days.
She was the one now who had to care for and provide for her sister, Rosie and herself . She did not need a man in her life. However, to keep her shop, she was determined to find a man to marry and allow a partnership. It would have to be a marriage in name only, at least for a long while. The problem was that there was not a lot of marriageable men in her small town and certainly fewer than she could trust.
Zachary was reasonably new to the community. He stopped into her shop often. He was always quiet and respectful. He was a hard working man. At first when she approached him with her proposal, he was taken back. But after her sister, Rosie, talked with him, he finally conceded. This, by no means , solved her problems.
Zackary is every woman’s dream of a husband. I imagine Abigail is also most men”s dream of a wife , at least in personality.
The Narrator, Barbara Mc Culloh , do am outstanding job narrating. She was amazing in the fabulous use of her various “voices “ plus the energy and emphasizes she put in her reading. She is truly a talented narrator and performer!
This book or audiobook is pure entertainment!

2nd Book in the Series

Must say I enjoyed book 2 just as much if not more than book 1 in the series. Couldn't imagine how Ms. Witemeyer was going to give Zach a happy ever after but she did it in a wonderful and humorous way.

The respect and admiration of each other

It was refreshing and I loved how god worked in their lives, great story about forgiveness and talking about the past. Very thoughtful and kind

Nice story

Good story, enjoyable listen. Nice to have book that is “clean” and still gets emotions across to reader. Like the tie in with God also.
