About this listen
The town's blacksmith is in need of a bride--but he didn't expect to also become a father.
Merrick Benton wants a family of his own, but he can't seem to string two words together around the eligible ladies in town. A mail-order bride is the perfect solution to his problem.
Eleanor Stevens and her sister were both widowed when their husbands died in a mine explosion. Desperate for a new beginning, they each answer advertisements from men in Crest Stone, Colorado. Eleanor is certain that a new husband in a faraway place will be exactly what her sister Rebecca and her children need to heal. But once the sisters are on their way, Eleanor discovers she's expecting a child that Merrick knows nothing about.
Accepting a surprise baby isn't difficult at all for Merrick. Relieved, Eleanor settles into Crest Stone, befriending another lady new to town along with Clara and Deirdre who live nearby. But as Eleanor and Merrick grow closer, something keeps Eleanor from fully trusting her new husband. With a baby on the way, will she figure out why before she loses him? Or will their marriage forever be one in name only?
An Expectant Bride is the sixth book in the popular Crest Stone Mail-Order Brides series. You can read it as a standalone, or enjoy it as part of the series.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 732
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Good story, but Virtual Voice is difficult to listen to.
The story was sweet, but the Virtual Voice made it lose some of the emotional impact. I feel like the problem is that the Virtual Voice sounds like a person with zero emotions. I understand it’s not a person reading, but the fact that it’s such a human voice with just zero emotion or inflection takes away from the story. And the story was short but sweet! I think I would have enjoyed it more with a human narrator.
