About this listen

What’s a matchmaker to do when the husband-to-be rejects the bride? Again...

Widowed as a young wife, Cara Cargill turned her head for business and love of romance into a successful mail-order-bride enterprise. She’s never had a problem matching couples until one mule-headed man continues to refuse to wed the women she sends to meet him in Grass Valley, Oregon. In an effort to make a match that he’ll keep and uphold her sterling reputation, Cara is desperate to find the perfect bride.

Daisy: When her fiancé leaves her at the altar, Daisy Bancroft knows it is far past time for a change. Her dearest friend Cara offers to send her to a newly established town in Oregon, where possibilities abound and the grass is rumored to be as tall as a man’s head.

Daisy arrives with plans to wed Tagg Thompson, only to find the obstinate rancher has foisted her off on his best friend.

Birdie: Tired of waiting for her Mister Right to magically appear and whisk her away to a happily ever after, Bridget “Birdie” Byrne convinces her sister, a renowned matchmaker, to send her as the bride to Tagg Thompson.

The man who greets her upon her arrival isn’t Tagg, but Birdie is certain she’s finally discovered the man she is meant to marry.

Cara: Fed up with Tagg Thompson and his refusals of every bride she’s sent to Grass Valley for him to wed, Cara decides to meet the exasperating man in person. Her feet are barely on the ground in the rustic town before she’s nearly bowled over by a herd of stampeding cattle and swept into the brawny arms of a cowboy with the bluest eyes she’s ever seen.

Will true love find its home in the hearts of these Grass Valley brides?

A fun concept...

... and 3 enjoyable stories in one

I'm not generally big into Western romance. I like them; they're just not my favorite subgenre. But I was drawn to this one because I liked the concept of the book - 3 novellas sharing an overarching plot where the 3rd one wraps it all up. And why did Tagg keep paying for mail order brides & matching them up with his friends instead?

The romance is frequently cheesy, & you have a pretty good idea of what's going on though it's not till the final novella that you get the why, but it's still totally entertaining. Kind of like a really good made for TV movie.

I also like that it's available as a read & listen book because I prefer to read but love that when I need to do things like mom taxi or household chores I can keep listening to the story.

The narrator is really good with distinguishing the character's voices so that I never had difficulty figuring out who was saying what (and he has an awesome cowboy voice 🤠)

*Romance level: passionate kisses, nothing graphic

Wonderful stories!

Even though I had long figured out where these were going, I loved each one. Mail order bride shenanigans is the best way to explain these. The groom to be just couldn't be satisfied and kept matching up the ladies that were sent to be his bride with other men in town. You need to read these wholesome and fun books.

Jay Dyess did a wonderful job narrating these. I listened too many books that he has narrated and they have been wonderful.

I received free copy of this audiobook from the author and I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Lovely Mail Order Bride Collection

I really enjoyed these stories. I thought the author did a great job telling the stories and I liked how the narrator did all the voices. I liked that all the stories lead into each other and that they had a happy ending.

Absolutely A Fantastic Story

This story is by far one of the best books that I have listened to. Jay Dyess is my favorite narrator. He is an amazing story teller. The mail order bride concept is a fun fantasy leaving one dreaming of possibilities. Well done!

Three swoony hero voices!

Comprised of three short stories, the writing is strong, with long, flowing passages describing the western setting in glorious detail, the stories cute and fun and that's all Jay Dyess needs to turn this into an absolute must-listen. The characters absolutely come to life with his unique, quirky voices. He builds a beautifully emotional, multi-dimensional story world that practically lives and breathes on its own. Perfect pacing, comedic timing that is spot-on and emotional depth. A sweet romance trio that has been eloquently voiced by a master storyteller

Loved this book

I can honestly say that I have never read a Shanna Hatfield book that I did not like. This is no exception. I was busy doing some work around the house and I started listening to this book narrated by Jay Dyess. I just could not put it down

The cast of characters were good and the book made me laugh in parts. All I can say is that it really was a good book.

Also I have listened to a good bit of audios by Jay Dyess and he always makes the books more enjoyable. I have problems focusing on audio books but he uses different voices and makes it easy for me to stay focused.
