The author touches on abuse, getting out of it and starting
over. Casey’s father is ready for his
boys to settle down but none of them seem to be in a hurry. He isn’t going to
live forever, he has worked so hard to make a good living on this piece of dirt
he calls home. He wants grandkids why he is still young enough to enjoy them
plus he wants to see he name to live on. His father decides to place an ad for
a mail order bride on a dating site hoping it works out as good as it did years
ago. What you end of with is one
surprised groom to be and one lady that feels all alone.
I loved the humor this story brings with it and a few twists.
I would have liked to have known what happen to her ex. Miranda isn’t your
normal abusive women she may have been meek and mild at one time but with
leaving her ex she grow a backbone. The last straw for her gave her the strength
to stand tall and move her sister right out of that life style.
I have slowly but surely fell in love with this narrator she
gives so much of herself to her performance with such passion and emotion. This audio isn’t one of her best performances but
it is right up there at the top. The
only problem I have when she does Mr. Carson voice it doesn’t flow as natural
as it should. Beside that this is a top of the line audio with a powerful performance
of real emotion giving the listen a totally delightful listen. You can hear the
fear in her voice, along with the caring, happy and sad that comes along with
life. If any breaks where taken I could not tell, there are not any background
noises or any places where the audio volume changes. I enjoyed her different
character voices with strong sexy male to her sassy women who won’t back
down. I did not have any trouble picturing
the scenes in my minds that way laid out before me by the author and narrator.
This is a clear, clean audio that hooks you from the start.
Miranda thought she had been getting to know her groom to be
but finds out it was his father. The son isn’t too happy about all that has
been done behind his back. Having listened to book 3 first and getting to know
Mr. Carson I can easily picture him doing what he did. My heart really went out
to Miranda and all she has gone through. The author touches on this but doesn’t
go into a lot of detail just enough to give you the true meaning of it. Her
little sister plays a big role in her taking the steps she needs to walk away
from the bad relationship. On meeting Casey doesn’t show his best side he
thinks if he is mean maybe she will leave. His father isn’t willing to give up
that easy and makes her a deal that will insure she stays at least for a little
while. Slowly the story builds up it is a case of I don’t want her but I don’t
want anyone else to have her. This makes for some very interesting read.
I thought this was a very cute read not one of the best of this
author but very good. I think I enjoyed
the audio more than reading it but still both are fun reads. I loved the
baiting between the brothers and the slow build up of the relationship between
these two. Once it took off there was not stopping them it moved pretty
fast. The author gives you a great build
up for the books to follow with some wonderful characters I can’t wait to get
to know better. This was a very enjoyable list. I can’t wait to start the next
one.

Summary
For Miranda, Newark has nothing to offer except a dead-end
job, a crummy apartment, and an abusive boyfriend. But when her younger sister
signs her up for an online dating website to prove to her the kinds of guys who
would be interested in her, she starts an online connection with the perfect
guy. He's handsome, he's a real-life cowboy, and...he's in his seventies!
Miranda steps off the bus to find the man of her dreams waiting for her, only he doesn't know it. His elderly father, concerned that his six sons are isolated on their highly prosperous 800,000-acre ranch signed up one of his oldest boys and did a little matchmaking behind their backs.
Now Miranda and Casey have a choice to make, but will they be willing to put aside their mistrust and give this a shot, or go their separate ways?
