Country Bride

By: Debbie Macomber

Narrated by: Vanessa Johansson

Luke Rivers is a man of his word.
He agrees to marry Kate Logan when she foolishly proposes to him after one glass of champagne too many at her former fiancé's wedding reception. And Luke, stubborn rancher that he is, refuses to renege on his promise.
Kate was devastated when the man she'd always loved married another woman, a newcomer to their Oregon town. But now, not only does Luke refuse to break their engagement, he insists that Kate doesn't love Clay she actually loves him!

Enjoyable easy listen

A sweet little romantic story that made for easy listening. It was a little predictable (but all love stories are) and of course a happy ending.

A Sweet Country Romance

Luke has loved Kate since he first started working at her fathers ranch. When her former fiancée got married, he helped her through the event. Now if he could just get her to admit she loved him. Great performance and story. Recommend.

Mixed Review

Debbie Macomber is a favorite author of mine who has definitely improved with experience. That being said, this is one of her early works.
The conflicts and dialogue don’t seem to change, they’re just repeated.

It was difficult to listen to the narration from the beginning. Within the first few sentences, she mispronounced “Oregon”. A novice’s mistake ... it only takes minimal research to discover how the state and region’s residents pronounce the state name. She also gave the characters a southern drawl. Just because the region is rural or the setting is on a ranch doesn’t mean they speak with a twang. Also, each character spoke the same. There was no discernible difference between characters of the same gender. (Oh, why can’t every book be narrated by Therese Plummer?)

good story - though not her best

I was a little disappointed in the story. It was not to the sames quality as her others. It was a good story just not great. Hope you find it better than I did.

Oh brother, sucked in again :-)

I am a sap when it comes to romance novels. This one was okay, but I have read much better ones. However having said all of that, the story & characters kept me interested & the conclusion was sweet.
