Wonderful, touching outstanding read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Mail-Order Brides of the West: Evie: McCutcheon Family Series, Book 3?

The cat and mouse dance of reading each other wrong. The touching love between two people who grew to love each other. The touching love Evie had for Chance's half breed son was just so touching. Who wouldn't fall in love with a women like this who could love a child that most women would turn their back on.

Which character – as performed by Lara Asmundson – was your favorite?

This is a hard question to answer since I have listen to a few audios by Lara. Her many different voices bring so much to her story telling that is so touching. In this one I would have to say Evie. She was a touching character who just wanted a family and went for what she wanted not knowing if things would work out.

Who was the most memorable character of Mail-Order Brides of the West: Evie: McCutcheon Family Series, Book 3 and why?

Chance with his love and worried whether some other man had Evie's love and he was losing her before he even really had her.

Any additional comments?

Like all the Mail-order brides in this series this was a very touching story of two people wanting so much and not sure if they made the right choices. Finding love only to not know if the other felt the same. So many secretes hidden only to wonder if the other wanted out.

Chance knowing his son needed a mother but afraid no women would take on his half breed son. He didn't ask for anything, didn't feel he had the right to. All he wanted was someone to love his son, he didn't care if she was pretty, or interested in sexual things just wanted someone who would take and love his son as he did.

Evie being from a lower class of life never thought she would have a family. When she took the letter that was meant for another she knew this was the family she wanted as her own. She hid a lot from the start and had a lot she needed to learn but was willing to do so if it meant she could have a family. She took to Chances son from the start as he did to her. She stole Chances heart when he saw her holding his son and loving him as he was her own.

This was a very touching story with so many emotions that you wanted to just cry as misunderstanding kept them apart. It tore your heart and you just wanted to hit their heads together to make them see how wrong they were.

It is always a pleasure listening to Lara Asmundson she bring so much to the story. I could listen to her all day. She puts just the right about of emotion in to her voice. She is one of the few narrators that doesn't sound robotic when she reads in her own voice. When you see her name on an audio you know it is going to be an outstanding listen. I would listen to any story she narrated, I know she has an outstanding pleasures for me to listen to. I can't wait for her to take me on the journey of the rest of the Mail Order Brides.

A delightfully witty western romance!

In this book by Caroline Fyffe, we get to know Evie Davenport. Evie has worked as a maid for the Mail Order Brides ever since her mother died. One day Evie steals a letter and answers it as a prospective bride. Evie sets up a contract with Chance Holcumb in Why Not, Montana and sets out to become his bride.
I smiled through out this most of this book. It was hilarious when Evie freaked over a Spider. I laugh because I always scream too! This book was so good, I started it this afternoon and listened to the entire book! In this book we learn such things as making a Chocolate Mashed Potato Cake. That was a new one for me. Evie can clean a house like no one else, but she can't cook. I just loved to see the relationship between Evie & Chance blossom. At one point, I even wanted to kick Chance & tell him to straighten up or else! I found this story to be a witty, charming, sweet ,western romance! To sum it up, this book is FUN! Even the Epilogues in these books are fun!
I loved the multiple voices i n this story. The voices of Chance & Evie were especially spot on. They sounded very authentic to me. The narrator, Lara Asmundson did a great job reading this book once again! The story itself was quite captivating. Caroline Fyffe had me sitting at my desk the whole night. Silly as it is, I couldn't turn it off as I was afraid I would miss something! Thank you ladies!

When he came racing after Evie on his horse when she was just going to the mailbox.

What about Lara Asmundson’s performance did you like?

I like Lara's narration because she actually makes it sould like Evie is reading me her story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Since I listened to 'Trudy' first I was fascinated that both authors seem to find it important for the med to build their wives a chicken coop. Of course in this case, he just doesn't want to eat anymore potatoes. Lol

Any additional comments?

I would reacommend this series to anyone fascinated with the idea of women with no apparent prospects in their own towns, setting themselves up to marry a stranger in the 'wild' west. It has endless possibilities and these authors have captured the heart of the idea.

A Delightful Continuation of the Mail-Order Brides

Evie is not supposed to be a mail-order bride, just serve them as they wait for their future husbands to claim them. She wants a husband and home of her own though, so one day she sneaks one of the letters from a potential husband and answers it on her own and then sneaks away to meet her future.

Chase looks forward to his new bride, but cannot bring himself to admit that he is not ready for her. He falls for this beautiful eastern woman but is not sure why a "rich" city girl would want to live in the wilds of Montana in the middle of nowhere.

Both have secrets that could tear them apart, but can they find that love just may overcome all that is hidden?

Evie was my favorite minor character in Debra Holland's Montana Sky Series. I really enjoyed this story. I wanted to find out what happened to Evie and Caroline Fyffe did an amazing job keeping the feel of Montana Sky, but also giving her own voice for this installment of The McCutcheon Family Series. Lara Asmundson did a great job continuing the stories of the mail-order brides of Montana.
