The Navy SEAL's E-Mail Order Bride

By: Cora Seton

Narrated by: Cassandra Livingston

Length: 6 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

Mason Hall, Navy SEAL, knows all about difficult assignments, but his current mission is one for the record books. Not only must he find a wife - and get her pregnant - or forfeit the ranch his family has prized for generations, he must also convince his three brothers to marry, too - before the year is up. Who knew one city girl and three wayward brothers could put up such a fight?

Regan Anderson can't wait any longer to meet Mr. Right, so she's taken matters into her own hands. She's quit her job, given up her nice apartment and undergone all the preliminary appointments to prepare for artificial insemination. Still, becoming a single mother is daunting, so when she spots Mason's Wife Wanted ad on the Internet one night, she's ready for a few laughs. She's sure the ad must be fake, but when Mason answers back, she soon finds herself wanting more than a long distance relationship.

If Mason can just keep her talking until he makes it home from Afghanistan, he's sure he can convince Regan he's her man. But when he whisks her off for a trial run in Chance Creek, they're in for an unpleasant surprise. The ranch is in ruins, the house has been stripped, and they're going to have to work day and night to beat Mason's deadline to win it back.

Can two strangers pull together against all odds? Or is this mission doomed to fail?

Well done

I loved this story when I read it, I really enjoyed it again hearing it!

AWESOME

The minute I finished this book I ordered the next three in the series. I can’t wait to listen to what happens with the other brothers. The only thing negative to me was the GD and other cuss words. They are not needed otherwise I didn’t want this to end. I love this couple !

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it

T beginning of the story as the were e-mailing and skyping was flirty and sexy. I absolutely have to read the others.

Good Title.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely. The narrator was excellent. I really enjoyed her slightly western accent.

What did you like best about this story?

The entire story.

Which character – as performed by Cassandra Livingston – was your favorite?

The couple. Reagan and Mason were a wonderful couple. The met online and it was fun. He is a great guy. She wants a baby, but not a husband. Just difficult to pass up this great guy.

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

When he found out about his uncle's bills after finding out how badly the situation was.

Any additional comments?

This story is about an outgoing SEAL. He was taking over the family ranch with his brothers. There were stipulations to the inheritance -- getting married (all of them) and at least one having a child in the first. Not much. Mason was the oldest and the leader. He was the first to come home. While still in Afganistan, he came up with a plan. Putting a profile for each in a dating sight he was the first to make contact. The others weren't even sure they wanted a wife when they got out of the service and came home.

The man was a winner and needed his tenacity to work it out.

The Navy SEALs email order bride

Though predictable this was an enjoyable book to read. I'm sure the second installment which will cover the second brother in the series will be just as delightful to listen to or read. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Man needing a wife , women wanting a baby

The need to save his ranch and marry and have a baby was a lot to due , falling in love , sweet story, want to read the series!!

Great story

Love the characters in this book. Excited to continue the story with her next book.

I could only get 1/2 way through

Usually I get sucked into a book and can't wait to listen. I thought the premise might be interesting but halfway through I don't care whether I finish or not. The main characters are ok but I am not really drawn to either of them.

I like a great steamy sex scene. Halfway through there was one and for me, it was not well written. There was no sexy build up, intensity or emotion.

I listen to a Lot of romance & there are many better ones out there!

A very funny listen Love it.

If you could sum up The Navy SEAL's E-Mail Order Bride in three words, what would they be?

Humors, outstanding, wonderful

Which scene was your favorite?

When Regan answered the ad and Mason's reply

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

Yes I had a very hard time putting this down. I loved this story line and was really surprised that it turned out so well.

Any additional comments?

I always have one book I listen to and another I read, I was torn between wish one to finish they were both outstanding and I had a hard time putting them down. I was a little iffy with the title whether or not I wanted to read this. I had heard a lot of good things about this series and thought I would give it a try. It was really worth my time and money but I got this audio as a deal. At the time of this post the book is free, when you buy the book you get the audio for 1.99 on amazon. It did not take long for the author to pull me in with this humorous read. Just wait until you read the list of what this male wants in his bride and the reply Regan gives. I am still chuckling over that and do plan to listen to this audio again in the near future. I have marked the rest of the series to my list that I want to read or listen to. It will not take long for this author to pull you in and keep you turning the pages.

Mason is coming out of the military when he gets a letter from his aunt that she will give him the land that was his families if he 1. get married 2. has a baby 3. get his brothers all married in a year. He really wants his families land back and is willing to do what he has to, to make this happen. The story starts off with him talking to his brothers telling them what they have to do. That he has setup a website with an ad....At this point you spend most of your time laughing away. These are strong alpha males who are charming, handsome and just darling as they take their women by storm. They must weed through thousands of emails to find their women. Mason receives an email that is a little on the strange side but man it gets his attention. He replies back and it doesn't take him long to work out this is the women he wants. now he just has to talk her into it......

Regan is tired of waiting for the man of her dreams and decides to take matters into her own hands. She gives up her job, gets a lower place to rent, and makes plans to for artificial insemination. She is bored and drinking when she sees the ad for the mail order bride. She just couldn't stop herself from answering. Maybe she shouldn't have drunk so much or maybe she should have just waited until she isn't drinking or maybe she should not have answer the dang thing at all. You are going to die laughing to her answer and Mason's reply.


These are two wonderful characters you will fall in love with as you watch them get through some very trying times. They find out what love means and how to get what they want with a lot of hard work.

I thought Cassandra Livingston did a really good job of narration. It did take me a little to get into her male character voices. It didn't take long for the story to take over and any problems I had went away. There are no background noises, her tones are even, and you cannot tell if she takes any breaks just a clear wonderful audio. You have no trouble knowing who is talking and what their emotions are. I am looking forward to listening to more authors from this narrator.

Ms. Seton gives you wonderful character that you can relate to. She puts a spin on the mail order bride updating it today times. She gives you humor that will keep you turning the pages. Not everything is honey and roses. These characters have to overcome so much to get to where they want to be. They work together through some very hard times always finding away to make it interesting as well as lively. Ms. Seton has put a lot of thought into each character giving them wonderful personalities. If you are looking for a book to make you laugh, one that you can relate to and really get into you might want to give this one a try. I am so looking forward to listening to more from this author and following this series.

Heroes of Chance Creek 1

I Freaking LOVED this!!! The drunken letter composed during Pride and Prejudice has made me a Cora Seton fan for life. TEARS!!! OMG! However, I have to agree with the reviewer who was annoyed by Mason being hit up for his uncle's debts. I had a hard time with that too. He would in no way be responsible for paying once cent of that to anyone, and his deciding to do so anyway was extremely nice, especially with the hardware store guy who was a total douche to him. ANYWAY-- moving on… Regan and Mason are just so dang cute. I want the rest of this series, and I need to see how things work out for the other brothers. The teaser chapters at the end for book 2 are diabolical… and appreciated.

Cassandra Livingston does an excellent job with narration and performance. Her cadence, tone, pronunciation, enunciation, depth of emotion and comedic timing are just perfect for this. Her male voices aren't stellar, but they are definitely more than adequate. Overall, she was great.
