Hope: Bride of New Jersey

American Mail-Order Brides Series, Book 3

By: Amelia C. Adams

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Hope: Bride of New Jersey is third in the unprecedented 50-book American Mail-Order Brides series.

In this faithful Jane Eyre retelling, Hope Middleton was all but thrown away by the family that was supposed to care for her. Now on her own, she loses her job when the factory where she worked burned to the ground. With no other alternatives, she answers an advertisement for a mail-order bride and travels to Newark, New Jersey, expecting a simple life in a quiet community. Instead, she is thrown into the middle of the dark mystery that surrounds her enigmatic fiancé, with only the chance of falling in love as her saving grace.

This retelling brings the drama of a Bronte classic together with the romance of a mail-order bride novella.

love it

Just the absolute best story. Everything I like to listen about and more. Such a great story I will listen again and again. A keeper!!

Sweet Mail-order bride story

Great lovestory, bittersweet ending. Narrator did an excellent job with all the different voices. Full complete story, just perfect in its length and depth.

Fantastic

I listened to this one on audio.
The narrator Meghan Kelly is amazing. She brought the story to life!
I loved this book. I loved the mystery/suspense part of this book. It took some twists and turns I didn't see coming. I loved it. It ended perfectly but I wanted more. Well written. The characters were great. They were thought out and all have great personalities that I could relate to. Read or listen to this book. It was great!

Wow it’s unbelievable

This is such a well narrated story. Meghan Kelly completely blew this one out of the water . When the story starts and you hear Hope with the other girls from the warehouse, you hear Meghan voice so distinctive telling what each girl was going to be up to . I loved how Meghan did the voice of the little girl Addiewas sooo dead on. How Meghan voice did the uncertainty of when Hope meet Addie and how latter Addie started getting more comfortable with Hope. Now when Hope meet Mr Edwards, Meghan was doing the narrating so perfect , I can’t find words to describe it .
The author knew how to grab you from the first scene, when the factory burn down till Hope meet Mr Edwards when his horse bolted. The scene when Hope had to go see her aunt was heartbreaking but I also wanted to grab the aunt and shake her. When Hope was several stated away and she kept on hearing her loves voice , calling her , it was a call from the universe telling her a message
I know Meghan was unbelievable, hope she does the rest of the series

A Classic!

What romantic female does not like the brooding, secretive hero? Well as long as the secrets come out ok in the end! This is a more modern retelling of Jane Eyre but it stood on it's on with the words of Amelia C Adams and the vocals of Meghan Kelly it does not get much better!
Hope has lost her job at the factory along with many of her friends and they are at loose ends. She does not want to go back to her aunt's house, so answers an ad for a mail order bride. But wow, does she get so much more! The home is really an Estate with a capital E and he betrothed Roscoe, is an enigmatic. It seems he wanted more a governess to his ward than a wife.
But things change between them and in the end, the secrets come out! Needless to say it is brilliant and I could listen to Ameilia's stories all day told by Megan!!
