What a sweet delightful audio that was great from the start.
My heart really went out to Rachel. I just can’t even imagine living the life
she did after her parents died. I thought my aunt was bad but nothing like her
uncle taking her in and using her the way he did. I am betting her parents are
rolling in their graves knowing all he took from her leaving her with nothing.
She decides to take matters in her hands becoming a mail order bride. Tom needs
a strong woman with a clean name to clean up his life and to start to become an
upstanding citizen. When the two meet they decide to take it slow to make sure
this is what they want. That is as slow as a short story will let them.
Ms. Woodworth’s narration was great there are no repeating
of words. Nor is there any volume change or any background noises. If any
breaks were taken I could not tell. Her
male and female voices are a delight coming across with lots of emotion that really
brings the story to life. Her tones are very powerful never leaving you in
doubt what emotion each characters is feeling at any given time. I thought the performance
was very good. Ms. Woodworth has a very pleasant natural voice that is a
pleasure listening to. I really enjoyed
listening to this audio the narrator made it a pleasure to listen to at one
setting.
What I liked about this audio was that it was clean, sweet
and the characters really talked. By the time the wedding takes place I felt
they had really worked on their relationship, both were supportive of the other
and at times defended the other. At first I didn’t care too much for Tom with
his past but it didn’t take long for him to grow on me. I really wish there was
something that could have been done about Rachael’s uncle. I thought the best
character in this story was Rachael from her kind heart to her loving caring
ways she really made this story for me. This was a short to the point story
with no fillers or cliffhangers. If you are looking for a short listen I hope
you will give this author a try.

Summary
Rachel Carson spent much of her life being treated as a second class
citizen. When her well-to-do uncle died and left her penniless, she had no
choice but to find a mail-order husband. She could only hope and pray he would
be a kind and gentle man that she could spend her life getting to know and
love. Tom Kinney had a bit of a bad rap around town, but that wasn't about to stop his entrepreneurial spirit. Tom decided he would work hard promoting his new hardware store and find a wife to help settle his reputation down.
When Rachel arrived in Durango, Tom could not help but wonder why she chose to be a mail-order bride. Was she running from something, or did she just need a home?
Will Tom and Rachel find love and friendship when they least expect it?
