The Country Bride

By: Lucy McConnell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She came for a horse.
She left with a wedding ring, a little girl who called her “Mom,” and a second chance she never saw coming.

Paige Baker is chasing her dream—building a horse training business from the ground up. But when a chance meeting at an auction leads her straight to Pamela Jones and a marriage contract she never expected, Paige finds herself swapping boots-on-the-ground ranch work for the polished world of the ultra-wealthy.

Her assignment? Marry billionaire widower Cody Walker and help him navigate the business of raising a daughter and managing a legacy.

Cody isn’t looking for love. After losing the only woman he’s ever loved, his world narrowed to one thing: his little girl, Addison. But when Paige walks into his life—with her warm heart, ranch-ready skills, and fearless way of loving his daughter—he starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, his heart isn’t buried as deep as he thought.

She’s not here to replace the past.
She’s here to help him build something new.

If you love rugged billionaires, strong women with a soft side, and tender romances built on second chances and created families, you’ll fall headfirst for Paige and Cody’s story.

The virtual voice mispronounced words and was very monotonous. It distracting. Not a fan of virtual voice yet.

Ridiculous from start to (as close to finish as I could start listening to)

1) what presumably intelligent, successful BILLIONAIRE thinks “oh, my daughter is longing for a mommy after hers died…the obvious answer is to pretend marry someone that will be there for a year and then go on her way”?

2) who throws a whiny hissy fit over bringing in some pillows/curtains in their own bedroom?

3) what woman with even a half-way functioning brain, after getting yelled at for wanting colorful pillows/curtains in her bedroom, thinks “hey! I should move a bunch of horses into the stables without saying a word to the man that owns the place!”? She literally had her brother deliver them without a word, then gets indignant because the owner objects when he sees the horse trailer coming down the driveway.

All of this author’s books are ridiculous, but this one is over-the-top stupid. I’m just going to summarize with “you get what you pay for”.
