great

I like listening to mail order brides books. I've read a lot of books about mail-order brides book. Always catch my attention when I listen to these books about two random people marrying each other. I never knew it was such a thing.

Emma and the baby

Short but sweet story about how Emma, a mail order bride, ends up with a baby before she meets her intended. Meghan Kelly did a good job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

My ONLY Complaint Is It Is Too Short-Emma More Now

👤

After being jilted at the altar, Emma (lots of Emma's these days) begins a year-long correspondence with Harry. She laid out all the details including the defamation of her character and he was able to accept and talk to her about everything.

He reported that he was in California, one of the last in the dying breed of gold mine seekers. He told her that he had a mine and sent her money enough to leave the town in which everyone thought she was disgraceful and a tramp. Joining Harry and his kindness.

Something extraordinary happens on her the train journey out west… I must leave it at that or I will most certainly spoil this short book for you.

This is a wonderful little story, just the right length to listen if you have an hour, here or there.

Meghan Kelly does a wonderful narration. Female characters sound like females and male characters sound like men (as far as a narrator can go.) Meghan has another 'Mail Order Bride,' book and I cannot wait to listen to it!

Notes: This is where I usually warn people about different subject matter which may be offensive to some. There is no need for any of that in this book. It is a lovely story.

*I was given this book in exchange for my review.

Short and sweet

This story was very cute and sweet. Yes it was very short however it covered every aspect of the story. I would have liked a little more character detail and personality. But I really enjoyed.

Such An Excellent Mail Order Bride Story

THE WESTERN TRAIN BABY was a great Mail Order Bride story. It was sweet. On the train heading west, Emma meets another woman headed west also, but she had a baby. Worried that she wouldn't be accepted, she excuses herself and leaves the baby with Emma and never returns. At first this starts a bit of a quibble but her awaiting hubby Harry is willing to accept the baby. Through their trials and tribulations, they strike it rich but have to make a life-changing decision.

EMMA ASHWOOD is a new Mail Order Bride author for me and I love her writing. These stories are so relaxing and good.

MEGHAN KELLY did a sensational job narrating this book. I've listened to her before and she's a wonderful voice actor. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her read this story. I hope to hear her do more of these westerns.

I requested and was gifted this audiobook for an honest review.
