Scarlett Bride

By: Susannah Calloway

Narrated by: Dini Steyn

Asher Anderson carries a heavy weight on his shoulders. Not just the weight of responsibility as the deputy sheriff for Culver’s Creek, Missouri. Not just the weight of his dwindling family, as his grandfather grows weaker, and his aunt begins to lose her memory. No, it’s more than that, for Asher can’t shake the ghost of the wife he lost to a bandit raid, eight years before. He could never be untrue to Scarlett’s memory—so he’s sworn off love for good.

But when a beautiful stranger falls into his arms, he finds his heart has other ideas. This young woman is alone in the world, without a dollar to her name, and Asher can’t help but offer her shelter. It’s the right thing for a good man to do. Besides, she’s sweet and kind, a rare thing in the rough world of Culver’s Creek, and he can’t help but be drawn to her.

It’s not until he’s offered her his home that he learns her name—Scarlett, just like his late wife.

Cute Christmas bride story

This is my second book from this author and narrator. The story is cute and sweet. The narrator does a good job. My biggest complaint is that they’re short stories and I want more of the story haha! There appear to be several short story books in this setting from author. I would love to see them compiled into one or two longer audio books, but even more than that, I’d love to see full length novels (8+ hours of listening time) on each story! I’d love to hear more details between each chapter, more backstory, and more info the future of these characters’ stories. Keep up the good work!

Lovely and Bittersweet!

This is the story of Scarlett, the wife of the new sheriff, who is killed in a robbery. He couldn't save her and he's lost without her. He'll never open his heart again because the guilt is eating him up, but his resolve begins to fade when a beautiful woman gets off the stagecoach. Her name is Scarlett and she's a mail order bride, but before she arrived, the groom had married someone else. It's a lovely and bittersweet story of a man who beats himself up and feels disloyal when he begins to have real feelings for the new Scarlett in his life. I like the coincidence of the name and how he eventually saw what had been in front of him for a long time.
Dini Steyn does a wonderful job with the narration. Her dynamic voice and solid pace bring the characters to life.

Feel good tale

This is a short story set in old Missouri with a HEA. A fast listen to brighten your day. Narrator was new to me. Admittedly I had a hard time getting into her voice but after a short time I really loved her I lilt. Glad I listened!

Very sweet story!

I work from home and these light, sweet and happy stories are my favorite to listen to. I fell in love with the whole family and wanted to know more about everyone!

Nice Quick Listen

4 STARS


This is a quick mail order bride listen. Not everything goes smoothly as Scarlett travels to meet her intended. A good storyline but it seemed to end a bit abruptly.

The narration was well done, by Dini Steyn. It was enjoyable.
