good read

Clean and sweet reads are an aberration for me, but this was an entertaining and engaging story. So many people with ulterior motives! Mercenary idiots everywhere! Losers who do just about anything but work to get money. Jared was so much in his own head that he couldn't think straight. Amelia was a supportive and caring friend. The narrator was very expressive with the different voices for the characters.

Another Sweet Tale

I love these books so much!! Ms. Goss writers characters that you like or loath very well. Her Godly influence is always present, but she doesn't shrink from the romance or just plain thoughts and desires. It makes for a very entertaining book that you'll be quickly drawn into. The predictability of the happily ever after is so nice! You know exactly what you're in for! The narrator did a pretty good job. Nice range of emotions and accents.

A great, enjoyable western romance!

I listened to the audio version of this book. The story was a sweet, slow burn romance that has all the elements of an old western. There's the mail order bride, the town drunk, the guy who is good to the bone, the jealous woman trying to get the good guy back and the HEA. Barb Goss adds all the details and extras that make this a truly enjoyable story.
I was given this complimentary audio book. All thoughts are my own.

Sweet Historical Western!

This is a great and sweet slow burn, Historical Western, and mail-order bride. I love Joanna and Jared's story. The storyline has a little suspense, and some twists and turns. I love the happy ending. The secondary characters are also great. I love Amelia and Ross. Barbara Goss never disappoints. Susan Fouche did a great job with the narration.

Joanna and Jared

Joanna was looking for an adventure and signed up to be a mail order bride. Except when she got to town her intended was drunk and proven to be a liar. Jared was living away from town in an effort to escape the gossip started by a money-grubbing young woman who said she was carrying Jared's child.

Joanna and Jared it off right away when she fled town to escape her intended groom, except Joanna is worried about her intended groom finding her and Jared is worried about what will happen when Joanna hears the gossip. Once the drunk intended groom and the money-grubbing young woman make connections the relationship Jared and Joanna had been trying to hide will be tested.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story line and the characters. Susan did well with all aspects of the narration.

Great Read

The Trapper: Sweet Mail Order Bride Romance was another great read by Barbara Goss. Joanna finds out that her mail-order husband is the town's drunk. She escapes her mail-order husband but ends up in one of Jared's bear traps. He feels guilty and makes it his mission to help her. Unfortunately Bradley, Joanna's mail-order husband, comes back for her. I absolutely loved reading Jared and Joanna's story and can't wait to read more by Barbara Goss.

Excellent clean western romance!

If you're interested in an excellent clean western romance, this is one you should definitely listen to. Barbara Goss has written a story filled with adventure, suspense, gossips, family love, and of course romantic love. Joanna and Jared's road to love will be a perilous journey and the listener will be there to cheer them on. Susan Fouche does an outstanding job narrating this book. She made me feel the emotions of these characters and this brought the story to life. I highly recommend this Audible book. I know that you will enjoy it.
