Length: 1 hr
Unabridged Audiobook

Publisher: Jessica Wolf
I thought for such a short story the author fit a lot in with
little or no filler, you know what is going on and do not feel lost or that
something was incomplete. I do wish it had been a little longer but it was well
written. Other reviews said this isn’t a mail order bride story, sure it is
just the parents were writing back and forward not the bride and groom.
James want to get out from under his parents thumb, they are
willing to open a new branch to their business but only if he is married. James
doesn’t really want to get married but is willing to do just about anything to
have a life of his own. I really liked this character he is kind and caring. He
really goes out of his way to please Jessie. Jessie is so floored when she
finds out she is getting married. She doesn’t want to but agrees to it. She
does her best to make the most of it. She was a very enjoyable character that I
really liked
Ms. Kelly does a wonderful job of narration really bring out
the feelings of each character. Her character voices are very pleasant. She
gives a lot of emotion to them making you feel the confusion, sorrow, pain and
love each character is feeling. There were
no background noises, if any breaks were taken I could not tell. I heard no
repeats of words. The volume stayed the same throughout the audio. It was very
easy to tell who was talking and what they were feeling. She put a lot of
passion into the wedding night as well as the blooming romance. I thought her performance
was really good. I am looking forward to listening to more of her work.
The author gives you a very passionate night of love as well
as a wonderful story. She packs a lot into a little. I never felt like anything
was missing but I would have liked it to have been longer. I enjoyed watching
them get to know each other and work through their issues. There isn’t a lot
one can tell about the story and not give it away so I will just say I enjoyed
it and look forward to checking out more of this authors work.

Summary
Jessie lived with her family on their homestead and had helped the family
build a successful farm raising crops and animals. Her greatest joy and passion
was for training her young mare and galloping across the plains. To her shock
and dismay, her family agrees to an arranged marriage with a wealthy family who
traveled from back East to do business in their town. Neither Jessie, nor her intended husband, want this union; but as she considers the situation they are both in, she realizes that their circumstances could be worse. James is being forced to marry or be disowned from the family business and all the wealth that comes from his name. He also knows that if he intends to be happy as a married man, he has to win her over and does his best to make her more comfortable with her new path in life.
They go through with the lavish celebration that is more for their families than for the couple, and soon they are bound in matrimony to try and make a life together while leading the family business in the remote prairie town.
