Prudence Fairchild went from riches to rags. The world she knew was swept from under her with the death of her parents. Destined to a life of servitude, she realizes the struggles of being poor comes with the risk of being taken advantage of.

She uses everything in her to ward off the advances of her employer. His threats to have her on his return from a business trip drives Prudence into action. She must get away and protect her virtue at any cost. It's all she has left. As a last resort, she answers an advertisement to be a mail order bride.

Austin Alwin is not happy about the condition placed on him in his uncle's will. If he is to keep the only home he's ever known, he must find a wife within a few weeks or lose it all. As time is of the essence, he forgoes all the usual protocols in obtaining a mail order bride and will only have a few short days to make up his mind once he meets her.

Both Prudence and Austin are about to have a life altering decision to make as they are faced with an unexpected addition to their pending nuptials.

Will this bundle of joy pull the couple together or tear them apart?

Mail Order Romance 3 hours

In this enjoyable, lightly Christian, mail order bride story, Prudence turns to arranged marriage to escape an aggressive lascivious employer and travels West to meet Austen, who has to marry to keep his home.

Sweet and Clean

This book is a sweet and clean listen set in the past (my guess is mid to late 1800's). The author wrote interesting characters that fit their time. The narrator did an awesome job performing the various characters and giving the right emotions. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. This is a standalone listen and part of a series. I was provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge and have voluntarily written this review.

MINDING BENJI

This is a good western romance story. Its a Mail Order Bride story. Prudence ends up with an unexpected guest. Austin was not happy with it. A lot has to be worked out. Keeping secrets never turns out good. C.J McAllister does a great job narrating this book.

Making a change...with a baby

Prudence knew she needed to make a change and the solution she found was to become a mail order bride. What she didn't plan on was having her brother leave her with his baby son right before she left to meet her intended. Austin needed a bride and getting a mail order bride seemed like the best solution. One thing Austin was sure of was that he was NOT father material, so when his bride shows up with a baby, he feels he has been lied to.
Fun and sweet western romance. The conversations between Prudence and Austin become my favorite part as she tried to explain multiple times that the baby was her nephew.
