About this listen

Aiden Palmer, a disenchanted WWI veteran, has gone from golden boy to troublemaker since his return from Europe. Hopping from job to job, looking for meaning and adventure, he finds himself running with a rowdy new crowd that puts pressure on him to join their illegal bootlegging runs. On the night the 18th Amendment goes into affect, he reconnects with a love from his past, Grace Currie, at a prohibition ball.

Grace McAfee Currie is a teenaged war widow. On the night the Volstead Act becomes law, she searches for Aiden Palmer, the man she’d wanted to marry three years ago. Convincing him that she still loves him is no easy task. Will they be able to outmaneuver her power-hungry brother and outrun the competition to start a new life together?

I really enjoyed this short romance that takes place during the Prohibition era. Great characters and story. It is fast-paced and full of action, emotion, and romance. This is the second book I’ve read by this author, and I liked this one better than the first one. I will definitely read more by this author.

I listened to the audio version of this book and narrator, Brenda G. Brown, did a really good job with this story.

A short second chance romance set during the time of prohibition. Aiden has returned from the war and is reacquainted with Grace, who has recently been widowed. Will there be a second chance at love or will the illegal bootlegging activities keep them apart.

A well written story with a great narration.

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. Brenda Brown 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. The Bootlegger's Bride is a short story in a series, but holds its own in a stand alone historical romance. It was great to see love win out over greed. The book includes interesting characters, with lots of twists and turns in the main story that will make you want to keep listening until the story is over.

This short audio involves two main characters Arden Palmer and Grace McAlfee Currie. Set after WWI during the Prohibition , Auden Palmer is a veteran returning to the US having been previously stationed in Europe. He is finding it difficult to return to American society. He becomes involved with a bootlegging gang while also making contact with Grace his former love interest. Grace McAlfee, a young war widow seeks to reunite with Aiden. Conflict arises as the couple is involved not only in bootlegging and interacting with criminals, but also recapturing their former love for each other. The book was a short easy listen and captures the “Second Chance Romance “ storyline. Essentially, a good read. I received access to this audio for the purpose of reviewing,however the insights and opinions were not solicited but of my own account.

Short and Sweet

A WW1 veteran, a WW1 widow who were both once in love and wanted to marry meet again. Aiden Palmer, finds himself jumping from job to job and Grace McAfee Currie refuses to marry yet another upstart politician her brother wants to force her to wed. Reuniting Grace convince Aiden that she still loves him and they should run away, marry and live from their families. A very sweet, short novella. The author did a wonderful job creating it. However, for me, the narrator see to be in a rush in the telling of the story.

This was a fast-paced, quick listen story. The narrator really did a good job of giving the story a southern feel with her wonderful accent.

This is the second book in the series. Although I did not read/listen to the first one, I had no trouble following the story. It's a wonderful short book about second chance romance and not letting greed triumph. Of course there are power hungry people who try to get in the way of Grace and Aiden's happily ever after, but are not successful. The story really held my interest with plot twists along the way, and the characters were all wonderful. Despite being a short story, the characters were very well defined. It was an entertaining short story which I would definitely recommend!

I appreciated the story fully. The main characters were full of their want to live their chosen life, not their parents' or siblings' choice. And they were ready to do anything to get it. I appreciate it very much.

The writer knows how to put you in a location as well as make you imagine everything related to the story and the characters. The performer brings the characters to life. I enjoyed listening to the performance so much that I'm going to look for other books performed by her to see if she lives up to the "hype" I've created for her in my mind.

Great Romance for a "Period Piece"
