I am a shameless romance addict with no intentions of ever kicking the habit. Growing up I dreamed of entertaining people and taking them on fantastical journeys with my acting abilities, until I came to the realization as a college sophomore that I had none to speak of. Another ten years would pass before I discovered a different means to accomplishing the same dream: writing stories of love and passion for addicts just like me.I have always loved romance stories and I try to tie all the elements I like about them into my writing.
My what a pickle Brianna find herself in when she answers a mail order bride ad. She really isn’t ready for marriage but has little choice when she promised her uncle on his near death bed she would get away and start a new life. Things do not go as well as she thought they might. Within the first few hours of meeting her new husband she does something that doesn’t go over to well which will either leave you with your mouth hung or chuckling than again maybe you will be doing both as I was.
Mr. Baker has a wonderful voice with wonderful character voices. Each voice fit the character he is reading to a T. I just loved Cassidy voice it really fits him he had me chuckling throughout the audio. You can really heart the pain or uneasiness in his character voices as well as the happiness or excitement. I loved his character voices either male or female they were very well done. You are never left guessing what each one is feeling or what emotion they are going through. I did not hear any back ground noise or any place with he might have taken a break where the audio volume changes. It was just a really smooth listen that had me hanging on throughout. I decided to take a road trip to I could finish this audio. I could not put it down. This narrator really thought out how each character would sound and how he would play out the emotion of each other them before he took the mic up. He did a wonderful outstanding job I can’t wait to listen to more of his work.
Brianna does have her share of secrets that she isn’t too happy or will to share. I really didn’t think it was a big deal until other things came out. Brianna is a very sweet shy girl who might not have been cared for as she should have by her uncle. There are many misunderstanding and a few surprises that not even Brianna knows about which will bring turmoil to their marriage.
Brianna is very easy to like she is so sweet and kind, so loving and giving. I was really surprised at how understanding she really is and still so very much an innocent. She really pulled on my heartstrings. Cassidy is just something else all together, from the start he is at his wits ends and about ready to pull his hair out. You can’t blame the man for how he feels as his bride throws him for a tail spin right after the I does. I really enjoyed the clean read the author does it in a way that as the characters get to know each other you can feel the pull between them and the chemistry that is as old as time. I really like how I could identify with them they are normal everyday people just in an earlier time period. They jump to conclusion just as we do not thinking things out before they jump into their own answer to the question which is usually the wrong answer. Even through Brianna had schooling she was very compassioned when it came to Cassidy not having any going as far as to forget it at times and he would have to remind her.
I really liked the plot, the characters, this was a very well written book. This is the first I have listen/read of this author. I can’t wait to pick up another one. If you are looking for a clean read where misunderstanding will have you chuckling with a few twist on the romance you should pick this up.
I listened to the 3hr 16min audio version of this story on Spotify—narrated by Charles D. Baker. He does a great job with the western accents and changes of voice for the various characters.
Quite a cute story, although I thought “someone” changed temperment in an unlikely way near the end. That threw me off, making me think I'd missed a couple of chapters. I enjoyed the story, nonetheless.

My favorite one of this series. Brianna comes from Ireland to marry Cassidy, and while she marries him immediately, she is a reluctant bride. Full of secrets, she tries to adjust to Montana life,and cannot help but fall for the rugged homesteader. Cassidy sees Brianna for who she is, full of spunk, her own woman and a true companion to work beside him. As they get to know each other, Brianna's past comes back to haunt her. It is truly tragic, and is more than Cassidy can deal with. Brianna does not give up on him though. When they go to pay the taxes for Cassidy's land, he learns that he is debt and because of her past, Brianna comes up with a plan to help her new love out.
This book again, brings Maggs, Kathleen and Declan in to bring our home community together. It's fun and like going home to your friends to have the all around.
Charles D Baker again brings us the best Irish accent of any narrator I have listened to. He has certainly made this series and Amelia's Montana Passion series a pleasure to listen to.

A sweet clean historical western romance. Mail order bride Brianna has a big secret she has to hide from her new husband Cassidy. Will her strange clothing, different cooking style, and outspoken manner endear or estrange her from her husband and his friends? Will the secret tear them apart?
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed.
