Loved it

I loved the story about Charlotte and Harry both of them had a lot of growing to do. They manage that by traveling to America then west on the wagon train. The one thing that disappointed me was the narrator,. The first time he used Charlotte’s voice, I bike out in laughter. It grew on me as the story continued, I heard better women’s voices done by male narrators. When I wasn’t distracted by the voice I was really into the story.

What a story!

This historical romance is not like any other that I have ever listened to. It starts out as a regency romance as Charlotte leaves England to escape an arranged marriage. She ends up in New York to find herself in a financial mess and ends up crossing the states to Montana with Camilla and Harry to the "old west". I loved the transitions of the story, each having Charlotte grow a little more into the woman she becomes. The story really picks up a lot when they start out on the wagon train, adding some real romance and suspense to the mix. The characters are well developed, but I especially loved Harry. His character really transformed over the course of the story, and he not only won Charlotte's heart, but mine too. It takes a strong woman to go through what Charlotte did, and Vivi Holt really pulls out all the stops, showing how affairs of the heart are not dictated by arrangement or class. Well written and a complete joy to listen to.

Paul Curtis does an admirable narration. He has a good pace though at times his voices were not easily discernible between characters. As the story progressed, his narration improves, and makes the book a pleasant escape.

really enjoyed this.

loved this story and the voice was great. it was hard to put down but life is busy right now so I had to go a little at a time between regular life. I hope we will get to see what happened to Mrs Hollander

Journey from England to Cutter's Creek

This takes place in England and has all the feels of an Regency Era story. Until Harry and Charlotte both leave home on the same day to escape their home situations and decide to head to America. Most of the book is about their journey to Cutter's Creek and the many adventures they had while taking a wagon out west. Harry and Charlotte have a connection, but Charlotte's station in England prevents either Harry or Charlotte from moving forward into a life together.

Very enjoyable sweet romance. This entire series has been full of winners. The narrator did well with pacing, voices and the entire narration in general. I am looking forward to continuing the series.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Historical Romance Story

This is book 7 in the Cutter's Creek. I haven't read the first books in the Series. This is a Historical Romance, with a make-believe couple. This is the story of Harry and Charlotte. Unfortunately, the story didn't get my attention. The narration wasn't easy to listen to and the characters weren't easy to discern along the story.

Sweet Romance

This one kind of reminded me a little bit of the movie Far and Away... but without the boxing. It was a lot of fun and even better it was a clean romance. The narrator did a great job too. I would recommend this one to those who like the clean romances.

The Betrothed

It starts as a regency romance, with Lady Charlotte being forced into an arranged marriage, and ends as a beautiful western romance in the Montana territory. I really enjoyed how the story transitioned as we journeyed half way around the world. Seeing Charlotte and Harry (and Camilla) grow throughout the journey really added to my enjoyment.
