Publisher's summary

When Nathaniel Russell received the wonderful news that the bride he'd written off for would be arriving in New Hope, Montana, it was the happiest he'd felt since arriving to settle his claim. And when the strikingly beautiful but somewhat exotic-looking Katia stepped off the train, his heart leapt at the fulfillment of their months of exchanging letters.

But Katia carries secrets that no one in the town expected, secrets that run deep enough to keep them apart forever.

Sweet Story 💕

It's such a pleasure to listen to a book that has appealing characters, a romance that is clean, a plot that's not too predictable and narration that fits the story. Each book in this series is about 4 hours long so they make a great afternoon listen.

This particular book in the series is the story of Nathaniel and Katia. I have to admit the first chapter describing Katia's family gave a tear to my eye. This delightful story shows the difficulties and sacrifices they made in the name of love and commitment. I recommend this book to all ages.

The narrator does a really good job with this series. 😉 He's got a great "western" quality to his voice. There were a few production or editing errors however. A few times there were noises......it actually sounded like airplanes flying in the background. Lol. But despite that, it was a very enjoyable listen.

I would like to thank the author, narrator, or publisher for providing me this audiobook at no cost in exchange for my unbiased review.

My favorite of this series so far

I really like this authors writing style, it is very entertaining, exciting, funny, love the humor. The characters are a delight. I enjoy the baiting, little danger, the romance is a delight a long with the scenes are so vivid that you can almost picture them. I can't think of anything worse than getting to were you are going and not knowing the language and not being able to talk with the one you should be marrying. When Katia said the word horses I had to laugh out loud. That was to funny, I am still chuckling over that. Her secret is a big one and it could have went many ways when found out. I love how Nat handled that. The ending will leave you smiling big, it is so touching in so many ways.

The narrator did a good job, I love his character voices and how he puts emotion into his audio. I didn't hear the background noise like in his first one, he really did a great job. He is still pausing to long between chapters. It is so long that I am not sure he is going to continue. Besides that it was great and I enjoyed it very much. There was no volume change and no repeating of words. He made me chuckle and laugh with the emotion he put into it. I always knew who was talking and what they were feeling.

I have really enjoyed this series so much.

Heartwarming and unique ꒰˘̩̩̩⌣˘̩̩̩๑꒱♡

It was great to have read the first story first. Although the story focuses on Nathaniel Russell; the writer kept you up with the rest of the characters, especially Pryor and Moira. They are an important part of the story as well as the unexpected plot twist involving Nathaniel and Katia.

The story itself was kinda unique; although I can relate. Being in a foreign country unable to speak the language has its disadvantages. Falling in love at first sight can be overwhelming when you can't communicate. Writer Amelia Rose did a wonderful job making it work.

Between their many hard shores and struggles, everyone was willing to work together and help each other. It was heartwarming and at times heart wrenching the situations brought by language barriers.

Narration by Charles D. Baker was once again magnificent. I enjoyed the clean voice, the tones, the emotions in the characters. Made the story come alive. Yes, I love him as an actor! ♡

Freedom for a Bride

Any additional comments?

Fun, light, entertaining and enjoyable. A story that just makes you feel good when it's all said and done. This is just a clean, sweet romance with a little mystery.

This is the 2nd book of the series but the first book I have listened to. Each story in the series can be read as a stand alone.

Nathaniel has done what many men on the frontier did and contracted for a Mail Order Bride. Unexpectedly when she arrives she cannot speak English and this throws an unexpected curve into the mix. Along with the communication barrier Katia has a secret. Getting to the alter will be more of an adventure than Nathaniel expected.

Charles D. Baker does the narration for the series. This is the first time I have listened to him narrate a story. Overall I enjoyed his narration. He has a lot of good character voices, but while he has a wide variety of character voices some of the accents sound off, more like they are from India than Russia. Especially in the beginning. His female voices are good except for the female laughs. I like the rough edge to his voice, it has that cowboy "feel". There are some background noises occasionally throughout the audiobook.

Ridiculously feel-good story

How do you communicate your love, when your mail-order bride is Russian? She doesn't understand your words, and misinterprets your actions... Oh my, it's not easy for young excitable Nathaniel. Good thing that he has his friends Moira and Pry there to help! Oh, and he just might be getting more than he wrote off for...

This is a clean romance, full of friendship and sweet affection. There are hurdles to overcome, but you know they will be. The story flows nicely and you'll fall in love with the whole circle of friends in New Hope. Besides, it's historically accurate and depicts the rural American life very nicely.

I liked it very much. And can I praise Charles D. Baker for doing a great job once again? His performance gives Amelia Rose's books so much life.

You'll love this book whether you are 13 or 113, trust me :)

Any additional comments?

I was very cautious when I started reading these books due to the whole Mail Order Bride thing but its really not what comes to mind... I really enjoyed this book it was a sweet example of true love. I highly suggest this book if you enjoy sweet romance novels.

Montana Passion Book 2

What would you do if your mail order bride comes to you speaking only Russian? Perhaps you can work around that, but what about a secret she carries? If you like romance books without the harsh language and sex scenes then this is the book for you. I recommend this to any one at any age.

Charles D Baker does a very good job with voices and emotions throughout the book, but the sound quality varies from good to bad. I'm pretty sure I heard an airplane in one spot. With the changes in sound quality and some background noises it can be difficult to concentrate as you try to figure out exactly what it is you're hearing
