Resumen del Editor

Amber Wakefield travels to Hunter's Grove, Kansas to meet her intended and walks into a very unwelcoming atmosphere. Charles Turner, her intended, seems cool and aloof, and his brother Garrett - downright rude. She wants nothing more than to rush back to Virginia, until Edna Smith, her chaperone, falls ill, and she's forced to stay. She knows Charles harbors a secret, and she isn't sure whether Garrett is her hero or her enemy. When she finally discovers the truth, she wants nothing to do with either of them. One of the Turner brothers vows to win her love. But which one?

Not Your Ordinary Mail Order Bride Romance

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked Garrett. He's true and honest.

What does Meghan Kelly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I enjoyed Ms. Kelly's narration. Her storytelling is very easy on the ears. I thought it odd at times how some of the male characters seemed louder or 'inserted'. Overall, I was able to get lost in the story and not stuck on the performance technicalities.

Any additional comments?

This is only the second Mail Order Bride story I've listened to by Ms. Goss. I really appreciate the freshness in the stories/issues she creates. These are definitely not your typical Mail Order Bride wester romance stories. Ms. Goss weaves in faith in her storytelling as well as fun.

I received a free copy from the author via audiobook boom in exchange for an unbiased review. Thank you.

Mishap? I think not!

This book was a joy to listen to from start to finish. I tend to listen to longer books but Barbara Goss has an amazing way of packing in so much content into a 3 hour story. This book has mystery, romance and faith lessons that hit the heart. The narration is very well done and adds to the enjoyment of this book. I highly recommend!

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

Go West Young Woman

The heroine was not my favorite person at the beginning of the book. What woman looks at a mail-order bride possibility and says that she doesn't want to cook, clean, or do any housekeeping? By the end of the book, I don't think Amber was ready to do housework, but the situations she had been through made her a stronger person and I respected her more for it.
After arriving at the hometown of her intended Amber learned that the situation was not quite what she expected. She made the best of it, making friends of people in the town and finally learning the truth of the man she came west to marry.
I did like that the characters had some morals and did't jump into bed at the first chance.

Misstep Galore

Interesting concept of a mail order bride coming to town only to eventually discover that her betrothed is not what he makes himself out to be. Will she last in the rugged wild west or will she return home? Will she find love elsewhere?

I commend Meghan Kelly on finding a way to repeat certain information multiple times in a natural, flowing way. Her diction and articulation are clear.

Nice simple story with a twist

unbelievable storyline with younger brother. The town accepted? Main story could use a little 'spice '!

Another Great Book!

I really enjoyed this book. The story was very intriguing and kept me listening until it was finished.
Barb really knows how to write! I recommend this book to anyone it's well worth the listen!

THIS WAS AN INTERESTING MISHAP AND WELL WRITTEN

AN EXTREMELY INTERESTING STORY BY BARBARA GOSS. VERY WELL WRITTEN AND EASY-TO-FOLLOW. ACCEPTABLE FOR ALL AGES. THE NARRATOR MEGHAN KELLY DID AN EXTREMELY GOOD JOB AND IS VERY EASY TO FOLLOW.

Wonderfully entertaining listening experience!!!!

Where does Mail Order Mishap rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would rate Mail Order Mishap in the top ten percent of the audiobooks I've listened to in this genre. I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Especially Amber and Garrett. The story was very well written, and it was a good "clean" romance. That is what drew me to this book and this Author from the first.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Yes. I enjoyed this story and being a fan of western historical novels, I was drawn in to the idea of what it might be like to have been a "Mail Order" bride. Many things could go wrong, or right and this book has really increased my interest in the subject. It has me wanting to read more stories like this.

What does Meghan Kelly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This author did a fantastic job of giving this story a different "twist" by the way she portrayed each character. There was a bit of mystery to fit right in with the normal "angst" that Amber was already feeling, meeting her husband to be. This story was written with a perfect mix of "feeling" and compassion for each of the characters, both the loveable and the "not as lovable" ones.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The narrator was very good. She was exceptionally easy to understand and kept my interest throughout the book. She brought "life" to each character, and I found her easy to listen to as she read. I never lost interest.

Any additional comments?

I was very privileged to receive an ARC code for this book from the author. She did not ask me to review the book in return for the code, but I truly did enjoy this listening experience. This book was well written and as an avid reader / listener, I feel that I want to let others know how much I enjoyed my listening experience with Mail Order Mishap by Barb Goss. I highly recommend this author and this narrator to anyone who enjoys Sweet Clean Western books. Especially those dealing with the practice of mail order marriages in the Old West of our history. Thank You Barb Goss and Megan Kelly for a delightful experience.

Mail Order Mishap

Mail Order Mishap is a sweet, clean Christian romance novel. The story was a little heavy on the religion aspect for my taste but it didn't detract from the story at all. The narrator was pretty good with varying her voice for all of the characters and the author did a good job giving each character their own personality. For a story that is a little on the short side this one had a lot going on. I enjoyed it and recommend it. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
