This was a lovely and short mail order romance. It was mostly well written. I usually like some steam in my romances but alas there was none. It was still a good book.
I am happy that Frank finally saw her as a wonderful woman and not a fallen one trying to take advantage of him. I like that the author explained the back stories that drive them.
This was my first book my this author, Stella Clark, and I loved this little mini novel and it's Old West, mail-order, pregnant bride story. I am so glad Ms. Clark has authored many of these little 2 hour audiobook tales, perfect for one evening's entertainment or to punctuate your consumption of some other author's mega-series. But, since they appear to only be available on Audible, I recommend you buy with cash ($5-7) rather use a credit (>$15).
I could find none of this author's audiobook works on the major library apps or the other audiobook sales sites (Audiobooks, SribD etc.).
