A Christmas Present

I love Christmas stories all year long. Narrator was good. Wyatt is not ready to look for another wife, after being jilted. His brother Clay, talks him into a mail order bride and he starts corresponding with Vera. Vera comes from a very big family and agrees to become his bride by proxy. Of course, they don't have a real marriage, until they go home to her family in Missouri for Christmas. What will Vera find under the Christmas tree this year? Delightful story.
I was given a copy of the book by the author for an honest review.

Excellent!

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing this book and now I have had the added pleasure of listening to it narrated by J. Scott Bennett. He is just so perfect for this kind of book.
So let me tell you what I thought of the story itself.
It is really such a sweet and tender tale and I loved it from beginning to end.
The main characters, Vera and Wyatt are really well suited but they have to realise that fact and this is what the book is all about.
I just loved them, their getting to know one another, their shyness and their growing care for each other.
It is so nicely put together that not only is it a pleasure to read and listen to but it made me think that the modern day misses and misters could learn a thing or two from these two characters. I sure did and I hope you do too!
My review above is voluntary and unbiased after reading and listening to the book and audiobook.

A Bride for Wyatt

A sweet proxy bride story. It’s time for Vera to make way for her younger sister to take on the role of care giver. Becoming a proxy bride seems like her best option. Wyatt had his heart broken when his betrothed ran off with his best friend. A proxy marriage may be just what he needs. Will Vera and Wyatt develop feelings for each other, or will this be more of a business arrangement?

I have been looking forward to the release of a new Barbara Goss story and this one did not disappoint. I’m always left with a warm feeling in my heart after listening to one of her stories.

Scott J. Bennett does a great job of bringing the story to life. He’s one of my favorite narrators.
