Very good

This was a very good short and sweet love story set in the 1880’s in Colorado. The characters are easy to relate to and the narrator does a wonderful job reading and bringing the characters to life.

Sweet and Cute

This was my first Rose Andrews's book. This novella is sweet and cute. Barbara Goldie did a good job with the narration. I was given a free review copy of the audiobook — at my request — and have voluntarily left this review.

Good storyline

If you love mail order bride books you will enjoy this one . The narration was wonderful

Too short

I picked this book knowing it was a novella. However, it was just too short. I felt that there just needed to be a bit more to round out the story and to develop the characters and their romance. Just when it was getting interesting, it was over. There are some good bones here with an interesting premise and promising characters... it just felt unfinished.

Nothing really stood out with Barbara Goldie's narration. She had fine pacing and some emotion. I'd be interested to hear her with a longer story with more meat to it.

Not my usual

I have a hard time with books set in the past. But this one was good, just took a bit to get into. I head background noise and the narration was a bit static at times, but she does do a good job.

Beautiful

Beautiful story about a young woman taking a chance because of circumstances beyond her control and finding a lasting love with a doctor in the ole west.

I love a happy ending!

I love all kind of genres fiction time travel sci-fi, but there is something that these historical fiction romance books give me I can’t get anywhere else and that is a happy ending that swells my heart. Although I know these are made of characters in most of the books I love at the end when I’m like oh that was so good in this book was no exception. It totally delivered, would be exception of a few things in the book that made me go really… For the most part it really delivered and I liked it. I totally recommend it to anyone who likes romance books for the happy endings in the ending that wasn’t so predictable. I thought it was great and the narrator did wonderful.

I can feel every emotions

Not once did I listen to this and definitely enjoyed it. I love the simple plot of the book and while I'm listening to this I can feel every emotions the characters feels. The narrator (Barbara) also did a spectacular job narrating this and I can't wait for more.

Sweet Love Story

This is a beautiful and romantic story. The love story between Aurora and Elbridge is sweet. For Aurora is not easy all the changes that she suffer. She feels that she does not belong to Coal Valley and she misses Nashville. Elbridge with love and patience helps Aurora to overcomes all her fears and feelings. I love this story very much!
