Kansas Brides, Book 1

De: Barbara Goss

Narrado por: Meghan Kelly

Amber Wakefield travels to Hunter's Grove, Kansas to meet her intended and walks into a very unwelcoming atmosphere.

She wants nothing more than to rush back to Virginia, until Edna Smith, her chaperone, falls ill, and she's forced to stay. She knows Charles harbors a secret, and she isn't sure whether Garrett is her hero or her enemy. When she finally discovers the truth, she wants nothing to do with either of them. One of the Turner brothers vows to win her love. But which one?

Not Your Ordinary Mail Order Bride Romance

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked Garrett. He's true and honest.

What does Meghan Kelly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I enjoyed Ms. Kelly's narration. Her storytelling is very easy on the ears. I thought it odd at times how some of the male characters seemed louder or 'inserted'. Overall, I was able to get lost in the story and not stuck on the performance technicalities.

Any additional comments?

This is only the second Mail Order Bride story I've listened to by Ms. Goss. I really appreciate the freshness in the stories/issues she creates. These are definitely not your typical Mail Order Bride wester romance stories. Ms. Goss weaves in faith in her storytelling as well as fun.

I received a free copy from the author via audiobook boom in exchange for an unbiased review. Thank you.

fantastic!

I loved this audio! This was a wonderful, inspirational romance. I loved these characters and this story. Narration was perfect - this narrator did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. I highly recommend this audio to anyone who is looking for a well written clean romance. Barbara Goss is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!

Mishap? I think not!

This book was a joy to listen to from start to finish. I tend to listen to longer books but Barbara Goss has an amazing way of packing in so much content into a 3 hour story. This book has mystery, romance and faith lessons that hit the heart. The narration is very well done and adds to the enjoyment of this book. I highly recommend!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily provided this review.

Go West Young Woman

The heroine was not my favorite person at the beginning of the book. What woman looks at a mail-order bride possibility and says that she doesn't want to cook, clean, or do any housekeeping? By the end of the book, I don't think Amber was ready to do housework, but the situations she had been through made her a stronger person and I respected her more for it.
After arriving at the hometown of her intended Amber learned that the situation was not quite what she expected. She made the best of it, making friends of people in the town and finally learning the truth of the man she came west to marry.
I did like that the characters had some morals and did't jump into bed at the first chance.

Misstep Galore

Interesting concept of a mail order bride coming to town only to eventually discover that her betrothed is not what he makes himself out to be. Will she last in the rugged wild west or will she return home? Will she find love elsewhere?

I commend Meghan Kelly on finding a way to repeat certain information multiple times in a natural, flowing way. Her diction and articulation are clear.

Nice simple story with a twist

unbelievable storyline with younger brother. The town accepted? Main story could use a little 'spice '!

Another Great Book!

I really enjoyed this book. The story was very intriguing and kept me listening until it was finished.
Barb really knows how to write! I recommend this book to anyone it's well worth the listen!

Clean Romance

Where does Mail Order Mishap rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I really like it there was a twist. But there is no way to rank them. I hope you enjoy my review and that you will consider listening or reading Mail Order Mishap. I've been listening to audio books for over 18 years, and I enjoy a good listen.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Mail Order Mishap?

History Lesson
Let me start out my saying this book made me think about the Civil War. It never crossed my mind that after the war there was a shortage of men and that there were many women left widows, some of them with money in the bank others not.

Have you listened to any of Meghan Kelly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not that I recall

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

A fast Listen.
I loved this story it moved fast and though the narrator is not my favorite I didn't have any trouble following who was saying what. I listened to this on my phone and my echo dot and they synced back and forth. A fast good listen.

Any additional comments?

A Clean/Church Backdrop
Though this book is not Christian to me it's very clean, and a good read. It takes life as it is, and it's not always what we think it will be. Good things happen along with bad, it's all about what you handle yourself and the decisions you make that determines your outcome.

Garret and Charles the brothers
I fell in love with Garret quickly. He's my type of rugged young man. He can carry a heavy trunk with ease. He's supportive of his brother because he cares for him and he's handsome what more can you ask for in a cowboy. Oh yes and he has morals though he forgets them now and then but at the right moment he comes to his senses. <br

Happy Endings.
I do not like to read a book that ends wrong, I do love a happy ending. Life is not always what we want it to be so we sure need a good ending.

A good faith-based piece.

I received the audible free from Free Audio Book Codes Meghan Kelly is the narrator and she did an excellent job. The tale is about a young woman who lost her love in the Civil War but still wants a home and family. With disapproval from her sister, Amber sets out and becomes and mail-order bride. Things are not like she expected lies are the name of the game with Charles and Garrett. One brother will find a personal relationship with God. The villains of the piece are not bad people just selfish. I enjoyed the story it was different from any other mail-order bride tale I have read or listen to. I think that is what I liked the most because it tackled some serious issues. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
