>2 hours. Short. Fun. Predictable, but enoyable

Nellie is badly burned in a hotel fire immediately before an arranged marriage, only to be rejected by the groom because of her scars. Boyd, a town sherriff, seeks a mail order bride, but how will he handle the scars? Warm. Short. Predictable, but totally enjoyable. Narrator needs to vary rythym and breath patterns more so that it is less sing-songy.

Fun little story

Fun little short story with enjoyable characters to care for. Easy listening to while some activities.

Tells a powerful story

This Novella by Stella Clark is well paced, coherent, heartfelt and beautifully crafted. It paints the picture of two very different individuals building their lives together following trauma and really highlights the significance of strong communication and what happens when we withold our feelings.

The narration is not as negative as indicated in other reviews and thogh it detracts a little from the story, was not horrible.

YHE SHERIFFS SCARRED BRIDE

Nelly got scars from a fire. Her soon to be Husband dosent want to be with her because of the scars. She becomes a mail order bride and marries Boyd. Boyd is a sheriff. He dosent care about the scars. She still feels insecure. He wants to protect her. I liked this story. I thought Katherine Jean did a good job narrating this book.

Great book

I listened to this one on audio.
This was a great book. It was wonderfully written. I loved the message in this book, Even tho I know not to judge people on their looks, it is always a great reminder. The feelings of the heroine was well done. I felt for her. I felt for him as well. The communication issues they had seem completely realistic. This was a quick book to listen to. I will be looking for more of Stella Clark's books.
The narrator of this book is not for me. I cannot stand how some words are stretched out. I was interested in the book and I was glad it wasn't a long book.
