A mail order bride story filled with adventure.

I had an afternoon available, so I looked for a Janice Cole Hopkins story. A MATCH FOR CORD is filled with excitement and twists and turns. Moriah is intent on not letting her beauty determine who she marries. I listened to the audio, and I loved the lesson of patience that Cord illustrated.

A runaway bride gets and kidnapping

Great plot. A runaway bride and a kidnapping makes for an interesting story. I loved it. Performance by two people was wonderful.

Another fantastic story

Cord was a great guy! I really enjoyed this one! never saw the bit before the ending coming! that was good!

Great

I listened to this one on audio. Sometimes it is hard to review a book on audio. Why? Well sometimes you love the book, yet the narrator got on your nerves at times. This is the case here. I have listened to this narrator before and the way he narrates was ok for that book. However this time I thought he had a whinny voice which did not go with the character. The female narrator was good. I did really love that there were two narrators. I still liked the audiobook.

The book itself was great. I liked the storyline and characters. I thought they were well written and there was a lot of research and thought that went into this story. It is very realistic.

Love JCH Books

I love books by Janice Cole Hopkins and this is no exception. The narration is excellent and the story line is intriguing and actually plausible. Highly recommend

Wonderful!

A wonderful Christian story with a lesson learned to have no fear, for God is with you. The narrators are bringing out the best in the story with their voices. Enjoyed very much!

Enjoyed the story

This was This is a very good book. It is sweet and clean yet full of adventure, friendship, and romance. Cord is super excited to have his bride arrive. But when she seems very cool and he has no idea the reason. So he keeps saying the wrong thing but doesn't realize what his mistake is. And Moriah . . . . Well you'll need to read this one and I'm sure you will enjoy it. Love is patient!

The narration is not the greatest. E.J. Lavery is wonderful with the female voices, but as I have said before, Mr. Birk just does not sound natural. The male voices do not fit the characters very well and seem very "forced" or "put on". Hopefully these comments will be taken as intended--constructive.

I requested this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Good story!

Another great and sweet story by this author! I love that I don’t have to worry about the content of her books. This one had several twists and turns which I enjoyed! I was given a free copy of this audio book in exchange for my true review.

Don't give up on your relationship

Cord is ready to take the next step in his life. He bought a ranch after years of working on the ranch of his friend. To make his life complete he decided to apply for a mail order bride. When his intended bride arrives, she is turned off by his words telling her that she is beautiful. She believes he can't see her true character. However the more time she spends with him she believes he does care for her. They have struggles, but in the end they realize that it was worth the effort of working through the difficulties in their relationship.

Love it!

This is a beautiful story about a young woman who runs away to become a mail order bride. She finds a good husband but becomes aggravated by him because he mentions her beauty. As things finally start to look promising for their relationship, trouble seems to find her. You'll need to read it for yourself to find out just what happens in this fun, thrilling, wholesome book.

The narrator did a nice job. However, I am not a fan of Cord's voice, it is a little whiny for my taste.
