Pearl

Cowboys and Debutantes: Historical, Book 6

De: Vivi Holt

Narrado por: Meghan Kelly

Her father lost everything to a swindler in New York, and now, she's been sent west as a mail-order bride.

Pearl Stout is angry. Her parents put her on a train to the Arizona frontier to marry a man she's never met and didn't agree to marry. Feeling betrayed and alone, at first, she goes along with their plan. But before long, she discovers the freedom that can accompany a pioneering life and grabs onto it with both hands.

Pearl's intended is Hilton Pullman, a local reporter for the Tucson Gazette. He's tired of being alone - his parents died when he was young, and his older brother abandoned him after losing his own fiancée. But when that trouble-making brother, Hank, returns right before the wedding, Hilton’s carefully laid plans are thrown into question.

Will Pearl marry her intended? Or will she forge her own path along the Western frontier and discover love along the way?

Listen to this final installment in the historical Cowboys & Debutantes series from a best-selling author and learn once and for all the fate of our fallen-from-grace debutantes.

Inspired by true events.

Strong woman who shows how it is done

Ms. Holt knows how to draw her reader in with these short story. I couldn’t even begin to think how these girls felt losing everything from their families money to the life as they know it all to be sent to marry a man they didn’t know. My heart really went out to them. I listened to this in a box set seeing how each girl had to deal with her own issues. They show how strong they are, what they are willing to do, to make a new life for them. As things start going well there is news from home that may change each girls feelings on their new life.

The narrator did a wonderful job really making you feel the emotion of each girl as she goes through some very trying times. Things are easy for these woman who give so much of their selves. The character voices are wonderful, you always know who is talking and what they are feeling. Her male and female voices are given with strength and character. There are no repeating of words, no background noise, no volume changes. If breaks were taken I could not tell. This is one narrator I know I will enjoy listening to each time I pick up one of her new audios. I really look forward to listening to her voice.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns as the author hooks you from the first page to the last. It doesn’t take long for these woman to feel tragedy one thing leads to another as the author spins a delightful tale with action, broken hearts, tragedy and a love that will warm your heart. It is a short sweet Christian romance filled with excitement.

Pearl a young woman sent to marry a man she didn't know, finds love and adventure in the West. As always Meghan does a wonderful job on the narration.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed listening to this wonderful story. It sure made my daily commute better. I couldn’t believe how strong Pearl became after she left her life of privilege behind. This is a must listen, I absolutely loved it.

Great story

What a great story!! Full of a surprises. Mail order bride to marry one brother but ended up liking the other brother. Audible was read nicely and I enjoyed listening to her read. I only wish it went longer into their married life.

City Girl meets Wild Cowboy

I enjoyed this book immensely. Pearl was sent to AZ to become a mail order bride, but on her arrival she realized that she wasn't too excited about marrying her intended. With the encouragement of some friends, she finds a way to support herself and give herself some independence. But in the background is Hank, brother of her intended. Hank didn't want to become interested in Pearl, but he can't help himself.

I like that Pearl learned to stand up for herself and even solved the mystery of the red ghost with Hanks help. The character of Hank was originally portrayed as crude and it took a little while to get over that first impression of him. All in all, an entertaining and enjoyable story. Perhaps my favorite part was the conclusion of the red ghost mystery.

The narration by Meghan Kelly was excellent in all ways.

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