Romance in Rapid

Seven Brides of South Dakota, Book 4

By: Kari Trumbo

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Frances Arnsby has only three weeks to learn about romance. That’s all the time she has before the stagecoach whisks her back to Deadwood. Excited about a glowing future as a romance dime novelist, her hopes are dashed when her manuscript fails to connect. She hasn’t lived enough. Her dream will be over before it even starts if she doesn’t add life, love…passion.

Chief reporter Clive Davidson is intrigued by the vibrant woman submitting her work to the paper. But when his plan to help goes horribly wrong, he must decide if teaching her about romance is worth the risk…to his career and his heart.

As Frances enters a world of upper crust dalliances and deception, she discovers that perhaps Clive was right all along: romance in the stories are just that…fiction. Her career means the world to her, but if she can’t learn what true love really means, it could cost more than she ever thought possible.

Wonderful!

Kari Trumbo has written a sweet story that everyone will feel all of the emotions. A woman that wants to be a writer and a newspaper man find themselves in the up’s and down’s of life and love. Meghan Kelly did a fantastic job bringing it to life narrating it. I would recommend this one to anyone.

Very nice continuation to this serie

The author wrote these as if you had to read it as a stand alone, or out of order you wouldn’t be lost. She puts in just enough of the past books to make the reader not lost but not to much that it’s repeat for those who have read them.
The storyline is different than the other books, taking you to a new town and townlife versus the ranch. And she gives you just a hint of what the next book will be.
The reader did an ok job in this book, doing very well on everyone but the main character (8n my opinion) she chang3s voices and tones which I really like. But the main character she made to whiney don5 know if that was ms Megan making her that way or that’s what the author wanted. Either way I felt she was more independentthan all the whining. But over all nice to listen to.

Another entertaining book

Just finished and loved it so far all are so enjoyable and I can’t wait for the others to be available the books are all so different so not boring thank you again Kari and please keep writing

Charming romance

Romance in Rapid is a charming romance in the Seven Brides of South Dakota series by Kari Trumbo. Although fourth in the series, it is easily a stand-alone story. I have enjoyed several other books by this author and was looking forward to reading this book and was not disappointed. The story moves quickly with a few twists and turns to the plot that helped to keep my interest. Frances is a naive young woman who has written a dime romance novel. Yet she has never experienced real romance. During a visit with her 'pen pal', Constance, a rather self-centered and spoiled hostess, Frances asks Clive, a newspaper reporter, to help her get the book published. He recognizes that the book needs a lot of work and that the author perhaps needs to experience true love. He sets her up with a visiting Englishman. And the adventures, or perhaps misadventures, begin. The author has captured well the era of the setting and the emotions and actions of her characters. They are realistic and relatable and I was drawn quickly into their story and enjoyed watching the romance develop between Clive and Frances. Readers of historical romance books will not want to miss this one. I listened to a complimentary copy of the audio version of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own. Meghan Kelly does a great job narrating Clive and Frances's story, which made the listening experience enjoyable.
