Yankee Wife

De: Linda Lael Miller

Narrado por: Pilar Witherspoon

When a pretty spitfire who's down on her luck clashes with a stubborn man in search of a wife, sparks must turn to flames....

A year after the Civil War, courageous former Union nurse Lydia McQuire was gamely scraping out an honest living. But now, as she said yes to marrying a stranger, her knees gave way with fear. Mr. Devon Quade had seemed polite and handsome when she answered his ad for a wife. Only after Lydia had arrived in Washington territory did she learn that her bridegroom wasn't to be sweet Devon Quade, but his older brother Brigham, a widower with strapping shoulders, hands as strong as steel, and an arrogant belief that he was lord and master of his lumber empire, the town of Quade's Harbor, and the woman he married. Lydia's dislike of him was instantaneous...yet Brigham was awakening in her a white-hot passion, and a firm resolve: before she would share his bed, he would have to surrender himself, heart and soul, to love....

Enjoyed this story from start to finish!

This was a great read with so many twists and turns all leading to unexpected outcomes. The different characters with their own love stories made it so much more interesting.

loved it..

I loved the historical romance. Miller kept me listening. i amlooking forward to the sequel.

Yankee Wife

I loved this novel since I read it year's ago! Entertaining, could hardly put it down! Polar Witherspoon is an Amazing narrator!

Loved the female lead of this book

I don't often write reviews, but I wanted to write one for Yankee Wife. I absolutely loved this book, and I went through a short "grief" period when it was over because this book and it's characters really drew me in. This is such a special story about a strong female lead who is passionate, caring, open, loving, and adventurous. She is a daughter, a friend, a nurse, and lover. This is a great story and I wish there were even more tales about this Wyoming territory town and adventures there. I know there are two more books in this series but from reading their descriptions it seems like their settings are elsewhere. Darnit.

great book

easy reading. very thwell thought out romance A++++++. lived the 3 in one romance

Yankee Wife

I liked the story and the narration was very good..I did not like Lydia very much..I really don't like the portrayal of independence while the character i Totally dependent..

good

I enjoyed listening to Pilar Witherspoon's performances of the different characters of this story. The story itself was good but loonng. But with that said, I see there's another audiobook in this series that isn't mentioned, " Taming Charlotte". Check it out. Enjoy! 😄

All Over The Place

This book is as my subject states, all over the place. I felt like it was very hard to follow because the characters themselves make no sense. The lead character has trauma and displays ladylike independent behavior yet she looses that after 2 pages? Then gains it back? Then looses it again? Then the brother in law looses his wife over her "betrayal." It was as if It was just way to all over the place and I felt like I could not get involved with the characters and the story. Would not recommend.

Liked heroine, did not like hero

The romantic interest in this story is REALLY sexist. I get that it’s a historical novel & I don’t expect him to be a radfem or anything but he definitely didn’t have to be that big of a jerk.

ok fluff story

if you played a dringing game every time her nipples were mentioned you'd be drunk
