I think this story was well told, although I wish it would have been longer and I would have gotten to know the characters better, that said, it is still a heart warming story. Wyatt has just buried his brother Chester never knowing that Chester had been communicating through letters with a young woman who now may be a big part of Wyatt's life and love.

This is the first story/audible I have listened to by the author and I was pleasantly surprised! I enjoy the mail order bride tales and know there will always be a happy ending. Piper had come to Colorado to become a mail order bride of a man Chester who she had been corresponding with but when she got to the train station, she was not met by him. She ended up very sick and taken to the doctor's office.
Wyatt was leaving Colorado because he just did not have the heart to stay since he had just buried his brother Chester from an accident. When he hears of a young lady having come to marry a "Chester" he could only go make sure it was not his brother she had come for...
A sweet short story told by an amazing Narrator and I know I will want to hear more by this author!!

Piper Morgan, a mail-order bride, comes to Colorado to marry a man racked with the grief of loss. An overtly Christian novella, the characters are inspirational.

I listened to the Audible audio version of this book and reviewed it at 4.5 stars.

"A Heartwarming Sweet and Clean Romance"

A SILVER PLUME ROMANCE was a sweet and good short romance set in an old west mining town in Colorado. I thought it was very well structured, easy to follow and an overall relaxing listen. Piper is a mail order bride who arrives in Colorado to meet her groom who doesn't show up due to tragedy. Instead, his brother Wyatt comes to her aid.

LEANOR A. WOODWORTH did a superb job narrating the story. I especially liked her voice. I enjoyed everything about her performance and found her to be a wonderful asset to the story.

Sweet

A nice sweet read with lots of twist and turns. A sad beginning turns into a happy ending. Good book.

[Pam Rudie · Rating 5 out of 5]

When a tragedy strikes, an unforseen blessing arrives. How do you take a leap of faith to go forward with a situation that was not meant for you? Can Piper trust God to take care of her when she learns of her fiance's death? A great, short read. Crab your beverage and get cozy with this enjoyable read.

I listened to the audiobook of this story. Narration was fine. This story was quick. Wyatt just buried his brother Chester and decided to go home to Chicago. He didn't want to work in the silvermine anymore. Piper came to Silver Plume as a mail order bride. Her attended was Chester. Wyatt didn't know anything about this. What will happen now.

Sweet, short

Very short but sweet marriage of convenience story. Definitely not much room for character development in such a short span.

Sweet Historical Romance

Julie is a new author to me, but Leonor is a narrator I’ve enjoyed! They made a great team in this short story! I look forward to listening to more of this series!!

[Jodi Price · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story, The beginning broke my heart but has a great ending. Love the chemistry between Wyatt and Piper. Narrator Leonor A. Woodworth does a great job bringing everything to life.

[Sarah A · Rating 3 out of 5]

A historical romance starting a mail bride and her intended's brother in the Wild West silver mine territory. A clean, short tale of misfortune and upset which nicely resolves into a romantic tale.
Mail order brides didn't always get what they thought they were getting but this book's bride doesn't even have a groom - dead on the day of her arrival. She is about to follow him through illness but through support from the community and her intended's brother, they find themselves exploring their connection and making a new life for themselves.

[Carol Ward · Rating 4 out of 5]

Imagine falling in love with someone through the mail and then selling everything you own to go be with that person. Then imagine arriving at your destination on the day your future husband is being buried. This is the situation Piper Morgan finds herself in. Not only that, she becomes dangerously ill from waiting in the cold at the train station for a man that will never comes. Instead she’s confronted by his brother, Wyatt, who in no way feels obligated to aid the woman his brother never told him about. I enjoyed both the characters and the setting of this story, and it’s so vividly told you almost feel like it’s a real part of history.

[Stephanie (Between the Coverz) · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a sweet short mail order bride romance story however it is more a short story and not a novella. I liked the characters and felt that with more time you could have really connected to them. The story seemed to show that the two had some chemistry, just needed it to develop and show more struggle with what they felt and more depth to how they came together with their feelings. I feel that the story was a bit rushed through with how they felt and then were together. I think if the story was a little longer and more developed that it would be a really great story.

--I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This is the perfect short, feel good romance. Julie Pollitt captures romance at it's best in the late 1800's. Wyatt Thompson marries his dead brother's mail order bride, Piper. She does not decide to marry him easily, but the two develop a beautiful romance in this quick listen.

Leonor A Woodworth, as always, brings her magic to this story. I love her voice, always giving a performance that is easy to listen to.

Overhearing a conversation, Wyatt, Chester's brother, learns of Piper's near death and her mumblings about Chester. But when he seeks her out things don't go as planned or do they?

Short story at its best

This story gives everything a full novel gives only on a short easy to read story. I love the spunk of the main character and the boldness of the men. It makes a good story that could be continued

[Mrs. Lopez · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a novella and everything was crammed in a few short pages. The descriptions were good.

The cover shows the Grand Tetons in Jackson, WY, but this book is not set in nor does it have anything to do with Jackson, so VERY misleading.

Disappointing over all.

I loved the characters and the story. A most enjoyable book.

[Norma · Rating 4 out of 5]

So sweet

This was a short, sweet, and clean story and I enjoyed it very much. I wish there had been an epilogue though. :-)

[Hillary Hurst · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too short

It could have been a pretty good novel if it had been longer. It was also lacking in spice factor.

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book, but short.

[Nancy · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a novella. A good story line but moved much too quickly! Because of the brevity of the story characters could not develop. I would have given a 2.5 if available.
