Wilhelmina, a Winter Bride

Brides for All Seasons, Book 1

By: Hildie McQueen

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

If opposites attract these two strangers will collide with the force of a raging storm. Out of options, Wilhelmina Wilkins heads west to marry a total stranger upon answering a mail order bride ad. What could have been a fairytale beginning turns out to be this bride's nightmare. Instead of meeting Wilhelmina at the train station, her husband-to-be is in the center of town brawling. Marcus Hamilton is blindsided twice, first, by a mail order bride ad posted for him by his mother and sister, and secondly, by the beauty of the woman who arrives to marry him. That the bride wishes to cancel all plans after he fails to make a good first impression will not do. How far will Marcus have to go to prove his worth?

I really wanted to like this but the narrator was awful!

I just couldn’t finish - probably a good book totally ruined by a terrible tone deaf narrator

Good story, OK narration.

As far as I know this is the first audiobook I’ve listened to performed by Meghan Kelly but her voice sounds awfully familiar… Her voice is pleasant but, unfortunately, I couldn’t tell a lot of difference between the different female characters or between the different male characters.

I admired Wilhelmina’s bravery in setting out as a mail-order-bride. This really isn’t my typical kind of romance to read or listen to but it had been in my digital library for quite a while and I’ll be seeing the author in February at Coastal Magic in Daytona Beach.

Hildie is now writing Highlander romances so I think I’ll try one of those next.

Taking a Chance

Wilhelmina has been put in a bad circumstanced through no fault of her own. But she takes control of her life and decides to head west as a mail order bride. Marcus is a bit rough around the edges but he is a good man. They have to learn how to be a couple but they do work on things together. I also like how much Wilhelmina was willing to work to learn about what she needed to do to be a homestead wife. This was a sweet winter romance. #CMCon26

Wilhelmina

This is a new author to me. This is a good short book with a good story line. Meaghan kelly did a good job narraiting this book

Poor Narrator

It’s a sweet story with good characters. I’m fairly certain that I would have liked it more if I had read rather than listened to it. The story was enjoyable with lots of interesting events. The dialogue however, seemed stilted to me. Then the End! Bam! Wow, that was harsh imo.
The narrator slipped from one voice to another for a single person, so often that it was difficult to tell which of them it was.
