Tied Together

Bryeton Books

By: M.K. Chester

Narrated by: Jennifer Groberg

When Ben Sheridan is released from prison in 1936, he returns to his hometown to lead a simple life. Although he's paid his debt to society, he's never forgiven himself for the unthinkable act that forced him to take the life of his step-brother over a decade before.

Storekeeper Heather O'Malley has never played the victim, but she's still a "scarred" young woman. She seizes the opportunity to help Ben restart his life, in part to atone for her silence about the events that sent her rescuer to prison.

Ben can't resist Heather's free-spirited approach to life, and she can't resist his reluctant charm. Neither intends to fall in love, but when dangers from their past threaten their connection they discover just how fiercely they're willing to fight for each other and their future.

Sweet Southern Charm

Again, MK Chester knocked it out of the park! I love listening to her audiobooks! She brings sweet southern charm right to my car! Her romances are not too fast nor too slow, they are clean and sweet, and I love how I feel immersed in a past time. I look forward to all she has to write!

Reminiscent Listen!

Tied Together by MK Chester takes place almost a century ago. Having grown up watching The Waltons, I could visualize so much from this book. This book is so much more than a period listen. It is full of healing, hope, redemption, and love. The author did a fabulous job developing the characters and creating the atmosphere with vivid imagery. Jennifer Groberg's narration was spot on. She gave the right emotions and inflections to her voice. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator. I'm glad I tried something outside my typical genre, and am grateful that times have changed.

I LOVED IT!

I loved it! This book was full of suspense and romance. The narration was great and kept me entertained. The author did a great job with the character builds and plot. I have read all the books in the Bryeton Books Series and this is my favorite by far. I look forward to reading more books from this author!

Another Great Read from M.K. Chester

I offered to review this audiobook because I am such an an avid reader but also almost exclusively audio due to my schedule. Because of this, and the fact that a bad narrator can destroy a great series, I can be very critical of narrators. Especially when books have a single narrator required to speak with different voices for multiple characters. Most cannot do it without having some errors where they use the wrong 'voice' for the wrong character. Jennifer Groberg does a great job in narrating this book! It was a very enjoyable listen and I didn't have any issues distinguishing between characters.

As to the story, I am not one to give a lot of specific story details since I feel you should read the story for that. Tied Together is a continuous of The Bootlegger's Bride series I previously reviewed, but set far enough away from it to be totally independent with some common characters for reference. It is a historical romance that shows good can triumph over evil in the end. The book includes interesting characters, with lots of twists and turns that will keep you listening long into the night.

I received a free review copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I love mystery romance

ᴛɪᴇᴅ ᴛᴏɢᴇᴛʜᴇʀ - ᴍ.ᴋ. ᴄʜᴇꜱᴛᴇʀ (ᴀʟᴄ)

I admit, I hardly ever read historical novels, but I have a friend who keeps recommending that I should try. The cover caught my eye and I decided to give it a chance.

This book takes place in 1936, Ben Sheridan returns to Bryeton, after serving 12 years in ᵖʳⁱˢᵒⁿ for ᵐᵘʳᵈᵉʳ.
Heather O'Mally was just a little girl when Ben saved her life and was sent to ᵖʳⁱˢᵒⁿ. From the moment he stepped back to town, she tries to help Ben as much as possible, it's the least she can do for him.
And of course in a small town like in a small town the past like ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇꜱɪᴅᴇɴᴛꜱ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟᴇᴛ ʙᴇɴ ᴛᴏ ʟɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏʀᴍᴀʟʟʏ, ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴀʟʟᴏᴡ ʜɪᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏᴠᴇ ꜰᴏʀᴡᴀʀᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄᴏɴᴛɪɴᴜᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜɪꜱ ʟɪꜰᴇ.
Then a girl disappears and then another one, they were ᵐᵘʳᵈᵉʳᵉᵈ and all fingers are pointed at Ben.

And from here begins the joint journey of Ben and Heather to ᶜˡᵉᵃʳ ʰⁱˢ ⁿᵃᵐᵉ, to prove that ʜᴇ ɪꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ʙᴇʜɪɴᴅ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴜʀᴅᴇʀꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ɢɪʀʟꜱ.

This book is written in a third person POV, there is one narrator and she did a wonderful job, her voice was pleasant.
The plot was ⁱⁿᵗʳⁱᵍᵘⁱⁿᵍ, the writing was pretty good. Yes, there were parts that 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 me but that's because the genre has ᵉᵛᵒˡᵛᵉᵈ since then but I enjoyed it.

I was a bit αρρяєнєηѕινє to try it because it came out in 2017 but it has pretty much stood the test of time.
Regarding the Ş๓นt, it is not a closed door and is quite detailed, but neither is what the book revolves around.
All in all, it's a short book (229 pages), only later did I find out that it was the third book in a series, but I didn't feel that there were any ɢǟքֆ օʀ ɦօʟɛֆ in the plot. I'm thinking of trying to read the rest of the books because the author's writing was good.
