Publisher's summary

Debbie Macomber’s irresistible novel puts a modern spin on an old-fashioned way of finding “the one.”

After Caroline Myers gets her heart broken, her beloved great-aunts send her on a spur-of-the-moment northern adventure, equipped with little more than a batch of their special spiked tea. But soon after hopping a plane to Gold River, Alaska, a still loopy Caroline takes part in an odd ceremony that ends with a kiss from her personal tour guide. The next thing she knows, she wakes up with a ring on her finger.

Paul Trevor has always wanted a family, but his long work hours and remote location make dating impossible, so he takes an unconventional first step: sending away for a wife. He falls hard for Caroline’s photograph and letter, but after the wedding, it’s clear they’ve both been duped by his new bride’s well-meaning aunts. Caroline’s afraid this trip has been a mistake. Now Paul just needs to convince her it’s the best mistake she’ll ever make.

1950s treatment of women

I cringed with how the heroine was held "hostage" by the husband she was tricked into marrying.

Frustrating...but I stuck it out!

There were so many times I could not even believe this woman's behavior that I wanted to slam my notebook closed! But I kept telling myself 'this is a Debbie Macomber book so it HAS to turn out OK', so I persevered! It was so unbelievable that I had a hard time, that's for sure. I'm happy that DM is finally on Audible but I'm disappointed that her "old" books are what were posted first to the Romance Package.

loved it! Sweet Romance light listening. and Adventures narrator good a classic Debbie Remax very good

Disappointed

I was disappointed in the characters how they were so ridiculously jealous and childish. Grow up!!!!!

I really do love Debbie’s books but not this one.

Another enjoyable listen by this author

I really enjoyed this sappy romance listen. I enjoyed the characters and their story. It was heart warming. I liked Caroline's aunts. They were great. I would have been livid with them though had I been in that situation. I liked the give and take between the main characters. They made me fall in love with them and their story. I liked the narrator and the different voices she used to bring the characters to life. I would listen to another book she reads. I would recommend this title and any other book by this author to anyone who enjoys a good romance read...

Fun quick story

I enjoyed this story. It wasn’t a long novel but it didn’t beat around the bush with a bunch of info, it told the story and that’s what I like. Sweet, happy story.

Wonderful!

Story of love from a man to a woman and his patience with her as they grow together.

funny miscommunication

This was an amusing light hearted book. The lack and forth misco.unications we fun. 🤗

A good book

This is a funny book to listen to. Paul Trevor wants a wife. Carolyn sends her neice and a jar of tea. The only thing she dosent know is that it's spiked. So she gets there and has no idea what's going on but wakes up the next morning with a ring on her hand. There is a ton of adventure to take place to get this resolved. But its very funny. Kate Rudd did an excellent job narraiting this book.

Entertaining story

Horrible reader. Sounded like a preschool teacher reading to you. I made it through the book but it could have been so much better.
