This is the 2nd book in the Mail Order Misdelivery series, both books I have thoroughly enjoyed.
Fiona left town in a hurry after being attacked by her employer. She took the train west with no destination in mind and ended up meeting someone else’s intended husband at the train station. She didn’t take the missing mail-order bride’s name, but wished she had when she learned there might be murder charges stemming from the incident with her former employer. Fiona quickly realizes that there is more than one way to take a new name and decides to marry Sam. Add to the plot a salon girl who wishes she still had a relationship with Sam, Sam’s brother who thinks that marriage should be for love, an over-zealous mother-in-law and murder charges and you have a book that moves quickly and has lots of twists and turns.
The narrator did a fabulous job in all ways, including timing and characters. I always appreciate the characters penned by this author as they are honest in their daily struggles and also don’t jump into bed together at the first sign of a relationship.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily provided this review.

I listened to this one. I loved the continuation of this series! Is it too…bold to say Tom Jordan, the narrator…his voice…I just wanna…
Ok, Well, the story was great. It was fantastic to see some characters from the first book. Great story and I am looking forward to listening to more.

This was an enjoyable read. I liked the storyline a lot and found the characters to be enjoyable people I’d like to know. Some of the dialogue felt forced and didn’t always smoothly connect the scene. But otherwise, it’s a terrific book and I did enjoy it a lot.
