Happy short romance

I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I love mail order bride books, something about marrying at first sight and ending with a happily every after does it for me. Willow, a woman who answers an ad in the Groom Gazette is off to meet her husband to be, Amos. She is running from a past where she thinks her clumsiness has resulted in a fire. She is attracted to Amos for several reason, but to me her biggest reason is his Amish background. Amos is a bachelor searching for someone to fill his lonely life. Willow's arrival causes all kinds of situations, from burning food to befriending those Amos longs to be friendly with. Will his past keep them from falling in love? You can only find out by listening.reading the book. While short, this book has a lot of character with a lot of characters. It is a well thought out storyline and is warm and fuzzy.

Linda Velwest is the perfect voice for a historical mail order bride book. She does a wonderful job.

Heart felt listen

This was a good listen, it has some great reminders of how we should look at life and live it. It was a sweet heart felt romance that makes you smile. Has a little danger, and excitement. Getting to know someone you just met and married is never easy but throw in the mix a past that still holds you back from being what you want to be and being a better person doesn't help matters at all. It was nice to see how Hollie overcome the issues with her husbands past and help him and his family through some trying times. It has wonderful characters, with a nice plot. Is very enjoyable.

The narrator did an ok job, I didn't care for her character voice very much, her normal voice is pleasant. There were times when the character was talking that is sound like they were yawning when it should have been a different emotion. There were no background noise, no repeating of words and no volume changes. It was a clear clean audio. I didn't feel like she gave much emotion but it was an enjoyable listen.

Sweet 1890s Story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this little story of mail-order bride Willow finding not only her place but her family's place as well. The characters are well developed, and the conflict is well done. The amount of thematic imagery in the climactic scene blew me away and it really worked well with the story being told. As a very closed-door nearly inspire romance, it's not my usual, but I'd still recommend it as a well-written book with engaging characters and a great sense of place. The narration worked well and I appreciated the calm voice of the narrator.
