Recommended

A terrific story with lots of wonderful quips and comebacks. I love word play humor. Knowing about the conflict right away lent a edge to the story imagining what kind of reception it would get. The loyalty and strong group of friends was just what everyone yearns for. I hope we get to see more of their stories.

Lacey Gilleran did a good job bringing the story to life. The were a few stumbles and blips but nothing overly serious.

I recieved a free Audible copy of this story, at my request, in exchange for a honest review.

This is cute, sweet Christian fic

This is definitely a Christian story, which wasn’t mentioned in the blurbs. If you’re not bothered by that, go ahead and give it a listen. It’s cute. It’s dramatic. It’s a happily ever after.

A Bride for Bode

Two individuals thrust together by circumstances outside of their control. When they decide to make their proxy marriage work, strange and dangerous happenings begin. Can Violet and Bode survive together?

Marisa Masterson has written a sweet historical romance with mystery, drama, and suspense. There is a very satisfying ending.

Jessica Caruso’s performance was well done. It added to my enjoyment of the story.

Silver Lining

Good story and great narration. Violet wants her trust fund money, Bode needs money to build his business. Little did they know they would be tied to one another. Violet agreed to become Bode's proxy bride and he accepts that so they can get their money. The man holding all the cards, just wants his money. Trouble is brewing.

An excellent book

I loved this story of how God worked in this young lady’s life. God spoke to me through the words of this story and helped me to be comforted in the midst of the storms in my life. This young girls life was turned upside down when her loving aunt died and she was left to the merciless acts of others who wished her harm. God took what was meant for evil and turned it around for something good. Through Gods timing all things worked out better than she could have ever thought. I highly recommend this book and any other books by this incredible author. The narrator was excellent as well. You can’t go wrong with this book.

Sweet and Clean

The narration was smooth and enjoyable. A historical romance that was sweet and clean. The story also had a faith thread throughout. I enjoyed the plot and the interesting things that happened. Bode gets into a bad situation and I did know if he was going to survive or not. A little romance and a little danger mixed in kept me listening to find out how the story would go. If you like a great little story, read/listen to this one. I think you will enjoy! I know I did.
