Her Pa's Christmas Bride

Mail Order Brides of Missouri

By: Susannah Calloway

Narrated by: Colleen Weaver

Christmas happens everywhere – except in Daniel Whitmore’s house. After losing his wife during the holidays five years before, Daniel has forbidden his children to celebrate any of the traditions they once loved. It seems things will stay like that forever – until his teenage daughter Melina comes up with a plan.

Abigail Keating, of Boston, misses the family she used to have. Now, with both parents passed away, all she has left is her angry, abusive uncle. When he threatens to marry her off to a gambling hall owner to whom he owes a debt, the time has come to run away and strike out on her own. An advert for a Mail Order Bride in Rough Creek, Missouri, seems to be the perfect opportunity to start anew – until she arrives and finds out Melina wrote the letter on her father’s behalf.

With Christmas right around the corner, Abigail and Daniel start to piece together a friendship, complicated by painful pasts and grief over loved ones they have lost. Will love prevail this Christmas season?

And what will Abigail's uncle do? You will have to give this one a listen! You will find yourself in the holiday spirit when you are finished!

Pa's Christmas Bride

A clean, sweet mail order bride romance about a young woman who is being raised by an evil uncle and a widowed cattle rancher. They were thrown together in a rather unorthodox way and fell in love.

Sweet Historical Romance

Short but sweet, I enjoyed this story! The narration wasn't perfect, but I have no complaints!

Enjoyable read!

This was short, but sweet. The characters were fun and well developed. The daughter was very mature for her age, and it was sweet for her to think of her father and his happiness. I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it.

The narrative was done very well.

I was gifted a copy of this audiobook from the author and I am voluntarily leaving this review.
