Working Together

I listened to the audiobook of Willa’s Woes and enjoyed the narrator. Willa is not having any good luck. It started with the loss of her parents, her brother and now her home. What can she do now. She meets a matchmaker and it’s a solution to her troubles. She’s off to the Dakota territory to be a bride. It’s strange to marry a man, Warren that she didn’t even know, but she will do everything to make it work. Of course, it’s not without issues, but with the two working together, it just might work.
I was given a copy of the book by the author for an honest review.

Fabulous

Loved the journey to romance, love, and laying the past to rest. Willa and Warren both grew from their past to find a love for the present and the future.

Christian Historical Romance

From a life full of pain and desperation, Willa runs to a new life! But, why can't her new husband meet all her needs and desires! Is there something wrong with her? Are her expectations too high?
I loved this story of hope and God's grace! I especially loved the sermon on God's will!
The narration was very good!

Fun listen!!!

Janice Cole Hopkins knows how to will my heart! This story features Willa. Hard on her luck, she has lost her family and now has found out she is losing her house. SHe needs a new plan to start over, and meeting the matchmaker could be the answer. Now on her way to the Dakota territory, she is off to marry Warren. Will he be good to her? Will he be handsome? Warren ha taken some advice from his uncle and requested a mail order bride. Seeing Willa has taken his breath away, but now he is married, taking her home and has to learn to live with her. These two are so awkward, so in love and just don't know how to get around it! Add in the secondary characters, and their faith and inspiration and I was in love with them all. This is a fabulous listen!

Adam Skousen narrates this and he is fantastic. A variety of voices, bringing each character alive. From frustration to friendship to faith, he pulls out all the stops and brings the story out in the open to enjoy.

Loved it!

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator brought this story to life for me. A wonderful story filled with inspiration and faith. Poor Willa just didn’t know what to do when her brother passed away. Finally though she finds a solution.
I enjoyed the romance and the hardships of the winter. Just to read how they pulled through all the obstacles was rewarding.
If you like a good historical romance I recommend this book to you!
I received an audiobook from the author but was not required to write a positive review.

Willa's Woes

Willa had a difficult life but a chance meeting with a kind woman gave Willa an opportunity to start a new life. Her journey as a mail order bride is filled with the ups and downs a new relationship presents itself. This was a good story filled with Christian values. The narrator made the story easy to listen to.

Great!

Janice has written another heart warming Christian story. It is delightful to see a young woman travel out west to marry a farmer, even though he had not a clue how to treat a woman. Adam did a great job narrating it. He brought it to life.
