Resumen del Editor

Lydia Hathaway’s greatest wish is to become a mother, but not necessarily a wife. Molly, a little orphan, tugs at her heart, and Lydia knows this is the child she wants to adopt. Lydia is broken-hearted when the orphanage mandates that all prospective parents be married.

Travis Bentley had been conned by two mail-order brides, so he decides to stay single and concentrate on his ranch, so when his sister asks him to marry a woman in Denver by proxy so she can adopt a child, he readily agrees. What does he have to lose? He doesn’t even have to meet the woman.

Things go well until he decides to marry Myra, and he travels to Denver to get Lydia to sign annulment papers. That’s when his life becomes a convoluted mess!

Great Read

A Bride for Travis (The Proxy Brides Book 10) was another great read by Barbara Goss. Lydia has always wanted to be a mother but not a wife. She meets Molly who is an orphan that she decides she wants to adopt. Travis decides to stay single after being conned by to mail order brides. His sister asks him to marry a woman in Denver by proxy so that she can adopt a child. Things go bad when he decides to marry a mail order bride who turns up. He travels to Denver to have Lydia sign an annulment, but things don't go as planned. I loved reading this book and can't wait to read more by Barbara Goss.

Temporary marriage

When Lydia's husband by proxy shows up and can't remember her or their daughter Lydia is forced to care for him. She never expected him to show up. After all she only marries him so she could adopt Molly. Their feelings change and she goes to his home where his memory is coming back. But there is a woman there claiming she is his mail order brides and tries to manipulate them. Through challenges and their love for one another Travis and Lydia will fight for their newfound live. I received a complimentary audio and this review is voluntary.

A book I will definitely listen to again!

After finishing this audio book, I thought, "That was so much fun!" The narrator has a soothing voice that is easy to listen to. I could easily keep track of which character was speaking. That, I've found, is not true with all audio books. The story itself was entertaining and heart tugging. I don't blame Lydia for wanting to adopt an orphan. Molly, the little girl, was so endearing and fleshed out as a person that I wanted to take her home too.There was a hint of intimacy in the book, just like I enjoy. Nothing graphic or embarrassing. It was beautifully and tastefully written.
The christian message of God guiding our actions and steering us is one that I found thought provoking. I also was challenged by the idea of forgiveness that is demonstrated. Both themes are developed well in the book.
I received this audio book through Audioboom. Still, I listened because I was intrigued by the description and the series. This is my honest review of a fantastic book done artfully by a talented narrator.

A truly enjoyable listen!

I listened to the audio version of this book. This is another historical fiction by Barbara Goss that makes you leave your troubles behind and just get lost in the time and the characters. There is always a Christian element to her books that make you want to be a better person by the end.
A Bride for Travis deals with honesty, belief in your spouse and honoring your word. Travis is in sort of a pickle as far as the women in the book goes, but he does what he can to do right by both. Lydia got married by proxy so that she can adopt a little girl from the orphanage she works at. She never expects to meet her husband, much less invite him into her home. As the two develop feeling for each other, there is a twist that could easily destroy them. Will Lydia be able to have enough faith in Travis and not fall prey to the lies told about him?
A truly enjoyable story. I was given a complimentary copy of this audio book.

Cute short story!

I like how Barbara twists a plot - unexpectedly and surprisingly well. I come to love a marriage by proxy...

I Did Not Finish

Unfortunately, I did not make it past the first few chapters. While I love anything by Barbara Goss, this narrator just wasn't for me. I found her voice acceptable until she started the dialogue. It just didn't work for me. I will however, be picking up the paperback because I am very intrigued to see how this plot progresses.

A Bride for Travis

I have enjoyed this series. Lydia wanted to adopt Molly. Travis had given up on the idea of marriage after 2 bad attempts of sending for a mail order bride. But God had different plans for them. Lili Dubuque did a great job narrating this story.

A Bride for Travis

Lydia wants to adopt a young girl, but is told she can’t without being married. Travis has come to the decision that he’ll never marry. A proxy marriage is set up between the two so that Lydia will be allowed to adopt, and Travis can just work his ranch without worrying about anyone else. When the two meet, is it possible there could be more than just a marriage on paper only?

I love losing myself in Barbara Goss’s stories. They are always so well written and full of emotion... I’m always left feeling content and happy.

I enjoyed Lili Dubuque’s performance. She did a great job of bringing out all of the emotions.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
