Mail Order Bride: Bernadette Finds Love

Ruby Springs Brides, Book 4

By: Karla Gracey

Narrated by: J. Scott Bennett

Bernadette Havering is a vivacious and independent woman. She knows her mind and never intends to let a man dictate what she should or should not be able to do. In a world where women having a job is frowned upon, she longs for a profession and wants to make history by becoming one of the very first women in the United States of America to gain a law license. But why should she give up a husband and family in order to do so? Can she truly have both?

Edward Grieve has worked hard. He has come from nothing and managed to gain an education, becoming a skilled veterinarian in great demand. But this is not the only thing that makes him unusual. He also believes passionately that women deserve more than they get from men, society, and the law of the land. But will he ever trust anyone enough to explain why?

Bernadette finds love

Now I really liked this one! Neither of them looking for a mate, then by an experiment, they meet and fall in love

Bernadette Finds Love

Lovely story. Live at first letter. Another great by Karla Gracey.

J. Scott Bennett is perfect as narrator for these audible book's.

Strong women prevail!

This series keeps getting better and better. In this book we have Bernadette, a well educated woman who does an experiment to see if the men who write for a bride really would accept her as a lawyer. When Edward, the vet in Ruby Springs responds in a positive way, Bernadette is taken by surprise and finds herself intrigued by this man. Gracey continues to create a town of incredible character. Each couple has their own hurdles and personalities. This one really hits home with me, as a woman who wants the best of both worlds, professionally and at home. Edward proves there are men out there that welcome the well educated woman and believes in her ability to be both wife and working woman. For the times, this is unheard of! But is the beginning of what we have today.

J Scott Bennett continues to breathe wonderful life into these characters, giving them personality and charm.

Book 4 in this series. A short, sweet, clean, western mail order bride historical fiction. The author shows how difficult it was for a woman to become an educated professional, such as lawyer or doctor at that time in history.

The romance has it’s own twists and secrets byJ. Scott Bennett.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed.



I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great addition to the series

Another sweet and short love story. I enjoyed the characters and always enjoy visiting Ruby Springs and a time that was much simpler than now. As always the narrator was also great. I would love to visit Ruby Springs again sometime. I am sure to listen or read these books again. I am sure others will enjoy them too.
