Again . . .
Widowed as a young wife, Cara Cargill turned her head for business and love of romance into a successful mail-order bride enterprise. She’s never had a problem matching couples until one mule-headed man continues to refuse to wed the women she sends to meet him in Grass Valley, Oregon. In an effort to make a … she sends to meet him in Grass Valley, Oregon. In an effort to make a match he’ll keep and uphold her sterling reputation, Cara is desperate to find the perfect bride.

Her dearest friend, Cara, offers to send her to a newly established town in Oregon, where possibilities abound and the grass is rumored to be as tall as a man’s head. Daisy arrives with plans to wed Tagg Thompson, only to find the obstinate rancher has foisted her off on his best friend.
♥ Birdie – Tired of waiting for her Mister Right to magically appear and whisk her away to a happily-ever-after, Bridget “Birdie” Byrne convinces her sister, a renowned matchmaker, to send her as the bride to Tagg Thompson.

♥ Cara – Fed up with Tagg Thompson and his refusals of every bride she’s sent to Grass Valley for him to wed, Cara decides to meet the exasperating man in person.

Stories (4.5 stars)
This purchase includes 3 novellas, so you really get your money’s-worth.
That said, each book is delightful in its own way. Definitely part of a series and these are the last three books. They can be stand-alone’s without a problem. The last book in the series was my favorite!
Shanna Hatfield includes some elements that tie the three stories together and it’s fun to figure those out, as one listens along! The romance is clean and the characters are given the time each needs to get to know one another. A bit formulaic, but that’s hard to get away from in romance novels.
Narrator: (4.5 stars)
Excellent narration! I’ve heard this narrator many times and never tire of his voice. He truly sounds like a cowboy! Male voices don’t sound the same between books: for example, the blacksmith has a lower timbre voice than the other male characters, even though he has a book to himself. Some fun women’s voices, too! Mr. Dyess has expression, range and reads at just the right speed! I highly recommend him!
*poor, **ok, ***good, ****very good, *****something special
Three love stories involving mail order brides. Daisy , Birdie and Cara’s stories are so heartwarming, and Taggart Thompson is one rascal you will fall in love with. He keeps requesting a mail order bride but when they show up he matches them with another fellow. Loved each story but my favorite is Cara and Taggart’s story. I listened to these on audible and loved them. Awesome ending.
