About this listen

Lydia Hathaway’s greatest wish is to become a mother, but not necessarily a wife. Molly, a little orphan, tugs at her heart, and Lydia knows this is the child she wants to adopt. Lydia is broken-hearted when the orphanage mandates that all prospective parents be married.

Travis Bentley had been conned by two mail-order brides, so he decides to stay single and concentrate on his ranch, so when his sister asks him to marry a woman in Denver by proxy so she can adopt a child, he readily agrees. What does he have to lose? He doesn’t even have to meet the woman.

Things go well until he decides to marry Myra, and he travels to Denver to get Lydia to sign annulment papers. That’s when his life becomes a convoluted mess!

Leave it to Barbara Goss to Take a multi authored Siri’s To the next level. I should have known when I seen the Author was Miss goals that the book was going to be awesome. I love the proxy bride Siri‘s but I absolutely adore a bride for Travis Absolutely can’t wait for a bride for Wyatt. Miss Gause has a knack for writing lovable and this likable characters, but only until she want you to like them, then in spite of your better judgment you find yourself liking the evil person as well. God does teach forgiveness miss goals love to portrayed that in her books and I love that about her. As for the narrator I thought she did a good job, but I think she would do better in a different genre. I don’t like to say anything bad about anyone, but as I was given this book for an honest review I must give my honest opinion and that is my opinion. Love the book but thought the narrator would do a better job in a different genre. Also I have to say I was given this book from audio unleashed in exchange for an honest review and this is my honest review.

This was such a great romance.

Barbara Goss wrote an amazing story with A Bride for Travis. I loved the soothing feeling this book had with its well-meaning and endearing characters of Lydia, Molly, and Travis. I found this clean listen to be original and heartwarming. Historical romance of the last century could not be written any better. The author does great imagery of the American West, and the trials these people faced. A mail-order bride is such a foreign concept in today's age, yet those marriages lasted. I loved the twists the author wrote in this book as well. Lili Dubuque did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. She added the right emotions and had distinguishable voices for the characters. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will most definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Feel Good Listen!

Lydia wants to adopt a little girl at the orphanage where she works. Unfortunately, the orphanage will only permit married couples to adopt. Lydia’s roommate provides a solution...marry rancher Travis Bentley by proxy...seeing that he doesn’t live in Denver. When Travis’s sister asks him to marry Lydia by proxy so that she can adopt a little girl, he agrees. After all, he’s been conned by two mail order brides so now he just wants to focus on his ranch. That arrangement works well until mail order bride #2, Myra, shows up...a year later. Travis is feeling guilty and decides to marry Myra, and the quickest way for him to dissolve his marriage to Lydia is to go in person. Unfortunately, things don’t go according to plan when Travis arrives in Denver. A great lesson in forgiveness and accepting that God’s plan for our lives may sometimes differ from ours.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

There is something about the way Barbara Goss writes that soothes my soul. I know when I pick up one of her books, I will find a calm, loving story and it will leave me with a warm feeling and good message. Lydia is a Bible School teacher wanting to adopt a child, but is unable to because she is not married. Travis is a man who has been scorned twice by mail order brides. By proxy, these two marry, and Lydia is able to adopt Molly. With no intention of every meeting, life goes on as normal. But when Travis now comes to town, everything is about to change! Will these two hit it off or dislike each other? These two are meant to be together, and I love the plot that surrounds their story. But, I do believe the standout character is Molly! She is adorable, playing with the kittens, settling down with Momma and Poppa and playing with her dolls. With Lili Dubuque's warm voice, she gives the story the elements of the times and wonderful voices for all the characters. Their story left me feeling happy and the cover is absolutely gorgeous!
