Montana brides book 2

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. 
This series is a 3 part series to make 1 book. I would be more likely to enjoy it if it was all one book instead of 3 short stories. Otherwise it is ok a little repetitive but still ok.

House or Ranch for Iris

Part of a three part series. Iris wearing cowboy gear on the ranch or does she want to be in the house. Interesting, give audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Great listen!

I enjoyed it very much but it just seemed to stop and not finish the story.
Wesley Nelson was a great narrator. I loved his deep voice.

Somewhat weak storyline

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I have read a lot of "spaghetti western" in my life and this one falls on the lower end of the scale. One of the problems I had with it was the use of modern slang, ie the frase just saying and the reference of the ladies going to town and thus leaving the road they live on and turning onto the "highway". Also there was way too much dialogue distinction between characters.

Iris's Mail Order Husband

I was hoping the book would get better from book one but I found it to be a reptitive of book one with more heat. Which I don't understand why the author did it this way.
Not for me but others might enjoy it more.
