My Review
This was a wonderful story with a great plot that keeps you well entertained. I am not sure I would call this was a mail order bride story since the two met once at the sisters wedding and wrote to each other which will keep you smiling and laughing at these two get on each other’s nerves trying to get the best of the other. It really isn’t decided to get married until Claire’s father makes her feel like she isn’t good enough to help run the business than she goes to visit her sister. Things happen that will help them both if they marry. Claire has always loved Marcus but he isn’t too crazy about her. There back and forwards mail is truly entertaining and will have you laughing. When I think of a mail order bride it is when both parties write and decide to marry which isn’t the case here. That is not to say that this isn’t a wonderful story it is as you will come to find out.
The narration with Mr. Bennett is wonderful the only thing I find amiss is the Indians. For me their English is too well spoken, I think they should have been more of a broken English maybe it is just me but that is how I always saw it in other areas. Beside the above the character voices fit the characters very well. Given wonderful emotions, feelings, and excitement to each character. There are no repeats of words, the volume isn’t high or low at any place if any breaks were taken you could not tell. It was easy to tell who was talking both the female and male voices were outstanding delivered with just the right amount of emotion, passion that really draws you into the story. His tones are even giving the correct emotion for what was going on leaving you in no doubt what each one was feeling. You feel the sorrow, hurt, pain and excitement of each character. This is one narrator that knows how to deliver you a compelling listen that keeps you invested as he gives you a wonderful listen.
Clair is so cute, funny, truly a wonderful character that knows what she wants and works on how to go about getting it. The misunderstandings between the two are very humorous. She is a strong will character who isn’t afraid to stand up for what she believes or wants. I really liked her a lot.
Marcus is something else with his wild ways and where in the devil did he learn to make such drinks? He has a very big secret that is about to land him in trouble with his family. He needs Clair to help him in more ways than one. Even though he doesn’t care for her with her better than his ways he is still drawn to her when they met again.
The chemistry between these two you can feel come off the pages as they go back and forward baiting the other. I really laughed at these two and their tempters which get in the way and made this a highly entertaining listen. Nothing like a good fight to get the blood pumping this really was a very funny story at times.
I loved this story it truly is a story with a lot going on really a story inside a story. You really feel Claire and Marcus pain why understanding each brother and why he feels the way he does. Here you won’t see Indians being hurt, taking things from them or them stealing just to stay alive what you find is a truly wonderful tribe that loves, lives and gives back to their families whether they be Indian or the white man. Marcus story is a very touching one from before he was born to his adulthood. This is a story about forgiveness and trust about things not always as they seem, getting over issues and finding a way to make life better. There is so much more than the summary gives you it does not do justice to this book. It truly is a great story that will touch your heart giving you a wonderful feeling and making you smile throughout as it pulls on your heart.
