Cassie and Silas are deeply in love but they have more than their fair share of tragedies and trials! I love the narrator's animation in this book! He really gives the characters a voice with emotion and feelings! Another winning book by Barbara! I don't know how she does it but she does it consistently! I highly recommend this audio book and any of her books!

What an incredible struggle!

I enjoyed this story very much. The characters are well developed and the story flowed really well. I love that Cassie and Silas remained pure throughout thier courting. This is romance and suspense with some twists and turns in the plot that kept it interesting. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because the shot was never explained that caused Cassie's accident.

The narrator did a good job on the book.

What did you love best about The Kissing Bridge: Cassie's Story?

Ohh this story was super juicy and had some really great surprises throughout. By far my favorite of the series as of now. The narrator really knocked it out of the park with his subtle but charming southern accent. I'm from the south and when I hear people try and use a southern accent, it gets old real fast. Garrett Whitehead's accent was so organic and natural, it really made me feel right at home.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to it in one sitting. The narrator made it so enjoyable with the different voices and accents he used throughout the story to really define the each character. I've listened to many other audio books and this narrator was by far the best reader I've heard in a long time. Hope to hear him do some other great books.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to read what happens in the books to come. Thanks so much Barbara Goss for the lovely story and big thank you to Garrett Whitehead for keeping me company in my car for hours. You made this story really come to life!

The best narrator I've heard yet

This was another sweet western romance. I’m never disappointed with this author’s books. She continues to find new and interesting situations.

Always enjoy books by Ms. Goss

Would you listen to The Kissing Bridge: Cassie's Story again? Why?

Yes. This is one of Ms. Goss' best. It held my interest from page one. It's a story of forever love that has romance, a bit of nail-biting suspense, great characters and is narrated by Garrett Whitehaed, who did a wonderful job.

What about Garrett L. Whitehead’s performance did you like?

Well done. I liked the bit of ''drawl'' that was used. It fit the characters.

A very entertaining Western romance

What made the experience of listening to The Kissing Bridge: Cassie's Story the most enjoyable?

Garrett L. Whitehead is a refreshing voice in the whole historical western genre. I did not think I would like his accent the whole way through the story, BUT I was WRONG! He did a good job with characters and the pace of the story.

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked the whole section where the brothers reconciled. It was good to see how even through raw emotion, there can be forgiveness, but it must be a choice on both sides.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, but it would give away the story. :)

Any additional comments?

Barbara Goss wrote a great book that had me laughing and wanting to throttle the main characters throughout. As I thought about it, The Kissing Bridge was a great story about how we as people really are and how our pride, self-protection, and lack of grace can keep us from the people and love that we so earnestly desire. Silas and Cassie both grow and learn what love and grace really are. I enjoyed this book not only as a fun story but also as a look at what life is like when it is filled with lies, distrust and what happens when you do not give the same amount of grace to people that God gives those who follow Him. This audible was given to me for an honest review.

Love and trust and grace!

I love the clean story and good morals and story line, however the author obviously did this not consider the H.... word to be a word that should be avoided in a clean book. Other than that I appreciated the over all good morals of the book.

Appreciated Everything but....

Everyone makes mistakes, but not all are ready to deal with their consequences. Silas wasn't ready, but he had to face his past and make things right before he could have a future.

This is a (non-preachy!) Christian, clean romance that I found so sweet! I could partly guess where the story was headed and what had actually happened, but I still found it great fun to follow the characters along. The story of Cassie and Silas was a good lesson on how to stay true to both your heart and what is right - and how to hold your ground when you see things are headed in the wrong direction.

This book can be divided into two archs, one about solving the past and one about solving the present. I found the second part - in particular what happened the day of the counseling - to be unnecessary. The second part of the book wasn't bad by any means, but I think the book would have been able to stand on its own without the added drama. I loved the first part of the book and was a little disappointed by what happened when things started getting back on track - it might have been because I'd finished Mail Order Compromise recently, and seeing a similar event wasn't as impactful.

Garrett Whitehead has a very pleasant voice and clear narration. I had listened to other books from the same author that had been narrated by the same female (Reagan Boggs) and even though she is very talented, it was a nice surprise to listen to the story being told by an equally talented male narrator. Will definitely look forward to listening more from him in the future! I removed a star because - though I'm not sure whether this is a narration or an editing issue - I felt some sentences ran into others. At times a new scene/chapter started without any pause as an indication, so it irked me a little that some characters appeared to teleport or appear out of nowhere!

I asked the author for a free copy of the story in exchange for a review, and I was happily surprised! Barbara Gross writes stories that are usually shorter than others, but that's because she doesn't spend time on nonsense. It's very nice to start and finish a book in the same day, even though I miss the characters a little when it ends.

Definitely recommend!

Could be two books, actually!

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I really liked this story. There is a twist quite early on which I was not expecting but it gave the book a bit of suspense and kept me reading to see what was going to happen next.

I would recommend this to those who love clean romance.

Would recommend.
