Mail-Order Brides of the West: Kathryn

McCutcheon Family Series, Book 6

By: Caroline Fyffe

Narrated by: Lara Asmundson

Kathryn Ford knows one thing for sure; she will not marry the boring, arrogant man her father has arranged for her since the day she was born, simply as a pawn to enrich his vast holdings. When she discovers she's been disowned for her defiance, the pampered socialite takes her destiny in her own hands. Determined to show her father what a capable a woman she is - without his help or interference - she signs up to be a mail-order bride, totally prepared to give up all the luxuries of her previous life. But once thrown into the rigors of a working farm, Kathryn fears she may have made the biggest mistake of her life - and finally met a challenge she can't conquer. Tobit Preece has a problem. His ailing grandpappy has one wish in the world - to bounce a great-grandchild on his knee before he passes on. The senior Preece has deeded his large farm to his grandson, and a grateful Tobit would like nothing better than to fulfill his wish. When Tobit misses out on his chance with Heather Sanford, a mail-order bride in Y Knot, Montana, who suddenly found herself without a groom, he thinks his chance to achieve his grandfather's dream is dead. Then Heather's new husband suggests Tobit send for his own mail-order bride. Or perhaps Heather already knows of a nice young woman personally? Determined to have a child before the spring calves romp in the pastures, Tobit sends for his own mail-order bride. Can two completely unsuitable people marrying for the wrong reasons end up on the right side of happiness? Find out in the next adventure of Mail-Order Brides of the West!

Mail-Order Brides of the West: Kathryn

What did you love best about Mail-Order Brides of the West: Kathryn?

Since December 20, 2013, I had been waiting patiently for Kathryn's story to be published.
I read this story in August 2014. At 2:43 am, I had just finished reading Heather after staying up all night. I was left with unanswered questions about Hayden's past and needed answers. Later that morning, I sent Caroline a message and she was kind enough to promise me an answer in her next book. She kept her promise and I was thrilled!

Kathryn's story was so beautifully written. She and Tobit had both been hurt terribly but they didn't allow that to ruin their future together. It is so easy for us to make a loved one pay for someone else's sins. It is a mistake many of us make daily. My Favorite line in this story was "I hope you will forgive him,so his actions won't darken your heart."

I always finish ready Caroline's stories feeling so uplifted.

It was wonderful to be able to listen to one of my favorite stories in audio-book format.

Another great chapter in the Old West...

I received this audio book by Caroline Fyffe in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. Katherine is book 6 of the McCutcheon Family Series. It was so much fun listening to this audio book. Hearing Evie and Heather again as they helped Kathrine in Y Knot upon her arriving (even though Katherine didn't remember them). You have to read the book to find out why... Even hearing letters from Lina was great. I love the Mail-Order Brides of the West books. It is so much fun when I read a book and I know the characters from others books, it's like a welcome home feeling. I adore the Old West books too! I love hearing about how life was back then and how nice and sweet everyone was. If only life could be that way now. This book is just as exciting as all the others in this series! Never a dull moment either.

The author, Caroline Fyffe amazes me with her writing. I love hearing about just a little kiss was a big deal back then. Even way back then, the women had the powers over men. The narrator, Lara Asmundson did a fantastic job once again with all the voices and accents of the characters, sounding almost like she was there! I love Lina voice and Katherine's voice is really nice too. What a great series to listen to / read. I recommend everyone give these books a chance (but the audio books are even better)! Good job ladies!

Kathryn

This is a wonderful book. Loved the interaction between the brides and their husbands. The narrator was really really good!

I have enjoyed the entire series

I started the series in Sweetwater Springs and I haven't stopped. Every time I read one of the books, I feel like I'm a part of the town. I like that I get to catch up with the other brides

I have also enjoyed that it is the same narrator. Lara does an excellent job with each book.

Fyffe Writes Real Characters

I enjoyed Caroline Fyffe's Kathryn and Tobit. With a plot of memory lost and love found, Fyffe creates another mail order bride in a series that lets you continue to love the characters you've loved and add two more. Fyffe's pg13 book has a clear satisfying ending and does' t try to trick you into the next book, but invites you in a unique way as Kathryn share a few words. My only problem with this book is narrator. Lara Asmundson has a nice reading voice but low skills as a narrator. Her male voices are weak to non-existing . I like this series.
