wonderful read!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely! I simply fell in love with the characters. The narrator did a great job with the voices.

What did you like best about this story?

The character development. While the plot was predictable at times, I still found myself holding my breath to see if it would turn out alright.

1 Bride-4 Brothers?!

This is a different take on 7 Brides for 7 Brothers and I loved the completely opposite turn around in characters. Though similarities were there, with the head brother in charge (you always need a leader) and a head-strong damsel in distress, here goes the ride and I thought a FUN one at that. Wit, charm, adventure, family strife and deceit, with town trouble thrown in too.

I also felt the narrated was able to capture each of the characters in her delivery without much effort and she must have enjoyed the story as much as I did or she would not have delivered such a wonderful performance.

So don't go for the usual murder mystery or the typical romance novel with all of the twists and turns with sex and blood involved. Instead go for the twists and turns in the "Short-Straw Bride" and appreciate a more clean type of scenario instead, but full of everything you could possibly want, or need to keep you occupied and wanting more in any novel you can't seem to put down!!!

Trust me...You'll be glad you did. :)

Beautiful Story

Clean steamy Godly book!!

Excellent story that keeps you listening and leaves you with a feeling of hope for Godly relationships and a love based on love and commitment!!

I loved it

I love clean romances with chemistry. I love the faith and biblical encouragement in it too.

Liked it alot

Engaging, good character development. I felt like I got to know the Archers as friends and that they were good people. I felt for their struggles. Meredith was great too although sometimes she was too stubborn and headstrong but that was a part of her journey. So it was really good. I’ll look for more by this author.
