The Stand-In Christmas Bride

Mail Order Brides of Spring Valley, Book 5

By: Susannah Calloway

Narrated by: Susan Marlowe

The last thing Bonnie Ross wants is to leave her little home in Staunton, Virginia. But when her three stubborn brothers get the idea of moving into their heads, there’s no talking them out of it. Before she knows it, they’re on the way to a “golden opportunity” in Spring Valley, Texas. Her only consolation is the promise they’ll be settled by Christmas–and that there are plenty of bachelors in Texas.

But all is not what it should be in Spring Valley. The house they’ve bought, sight unseen, is a dilapidated mess, and the weather is freezing. Worst of all, there’s only one bachelor who has caught Bonnie’s eye–and he’s engaged to another.

When her brothers decide to chase another opportunity further west to California, Bonnie is left with a choice: to travel on, uprooting herself once again and leaving her new friends, or to stick it out in Spring Valley. Would it be more heartbreaking to say goodbye to her brothers–or to watch the man she loves wed someone else on Christmas Eve?

Enjoyable from start to finish

Easy, light listening, with a sweet story line. I didn’t want it to end. Hoping for another book in the series to see what comes next. The narration is well done, smoothly spoken, easy to listen to. This book is a must hear, feel good story!
