The Sheriff Needs a Bride

Lazarus County Mail Order Brides, Book 4

De: Amber Seraph

Narrado por: Charley Ongel

Lazarus County needs a sheriff. There are Indian tribes and bandits throughout New Mexico, and the people of Gilgamesh have gone on far too long without a lawman. The town folk unanimously vote for John Wilkins, the stage coach driver, but he thinks his soldiering days are long past. Nonetheless, he is beloved by the people of Gilgamesh, including the Kimball family who are just there for a spell while the father, James, works on the railroad.

Harriet Kimball finds herself enchanted by Gilgamesh and begins to think of the place as home, going so far as to put out an ad for marriage in the newspaper. She is almost as surprised by John Wilkins’ reply as he was.

John’s passion for Harriet reawakens his old self, and before he knows, he’s reconsidering the offer from the town and the solitary, lonely future that he’d accepted.

Quite a saga!

What a wonderful story, Ms. Seraph. Really enjoyed all your characters and I really appreciate your sharing their drama of love's weaving hearts together. Thank you ever so much!

Clean romance stage driver marries

The town stage driver befriends a boy and considers falling for his sister. This series can be done in any order.

Good listening

Great characters, good storyline... I enjoyed the narrator... love listening to western romance. Nice to hear what it was like back then

Sweet Historical Romance

I read this as four audiobooks as one.

I loved these stories. Although all taking place in the same town in New Mexico, they are about very different love stories!
The last one was my favorite!
I wasn't particularly pleased with the narration though! She constantly breathed out her words like excitement at a constant rhythm. it was strange. Two stories starred Irish characters, and her Irish lilt was anything but!
She did do great on the other voices though. If she worked on her breathyness she'd be amazing!
