Publisher's Summary:

Maggie has an unexpected suitor...in a red suit.

Schoolteacher Maggie O'Brien comes home for Christmas on a mission - to gather toys for orphans living on poor farms in Kansas. She's made her list, but there's no Santa in sight. Not until a local shopkeeper volunteers his services.

Gordon Sumner sets his mind on winning the black-haired Irish beauty, but Maggie's brother is his fiercest competitor, and O'Brien's loyal sister gives him the cold shoulder. Undaunted, he comes up with a clever plan - Santa will deliver gifts with a "wife" at his side.

Members Reviews:

Enchanting!

What made the experience of listening to Santa's Mail-Order Bride the most enjoyable?

I am a huge fan of historical romance, especially mail-order bride stories and E.E. Burke's delightful characters came alive with every word spoken by the narrator Lisa Ivary. As she changed voices for each character in the audiobook I could picture them and both mercantile stores in my mind.

What other book might you compare Santa's Mail-Order Bride to and why?

Victoria: Bride of Kansas is another mail order bride novel by E.E. Burke, and is also narrated by Lisa Ivary and I enjoyed that audiobook so much I purchased this one as well. Delightful characters, a myriad of emotions and a tender romance would describe both audiobooks perfectly and the historical details added to the story were well researched.

Which scene was your favorite?

I was delighted by Maggie and Gordon "Sum" Sumner's mishap in the snow that led to them remembering their childhood and their enjoyment of making snow angels. They're both laughing and flirting with each other and it's the first time that we get a glimpse of the tender heart of Gordon Sumner and I think I fell in love with him at that moment just as Maggie did too.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes! I knew that Gordon "Sum" Sumner was indeed a hero when he found the orphaned children who had broken into his store for warm clothing and he was compassionate and determined to take them in so that they could be together. From that moment Maggie's gentle and tender hearted influence on him was crystal clear.

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoyed both audiobooks featuring the talented writing of E.E. Burke and the beautiful narration of Lisa Ivary. I will continue to purchase audiobooks by this winning pair and highly recommend this series to those who enjoy reading/listening to mail ordrer bride stories as well as American Historical Fiction.

Publisher's Summary:

Lucy Albright never wanted her family's Texas ranch, but now it's in foreclosure. She's already lost so much she can't bear the thought of losing one more thing. Lucy learned the hard way not to accept help from a man when there are strings attached, so she'll do whatever it takes to save the ranch on her own terms - even if that means launching an online business marketing high-tech sex toys.

Ranch manager David Harmon has a reputation for being a cowboy with a heart of gold. Even if she refuses his help, down-and-out Lucy is the kind of woman he'll do anything to protect. And while David may not know much about Lucy's naughty side business, that won't stop a cowboy from doing something he's set his mind to.

With the ranch threatened by a scheming neighbor, Lucy can't help but keep David around. Their attraction may be undeniable, but will the spark between them burn her entire future to the ground?

Members Reviews:

David Is Absolutely Delicious

This is a nice enough story but the heroine was difficult to connect with and most of the time somewhat annoying. Fortunately, I listened to the other 3 books in the series and was really looking forward to David's story. David was just the sort of dreamy cowboy we've seen in the other books and I enjoyed getting another taste of all that hotness. Natalie Ross did an amazing job bringing this story to life. I look forward to the next listen.

This was worth the price I paid. I'm not sure if I would give a credit for it.

Taking Charge: Lone Star Burn, Book 4

Where does Taking Charge rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

It is up there in my top 10. The narrator made it very easy to differentiate between the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

David. He was such a strong, caring hero. He has honor and strength as a man. He was loyal to those he cared about, always going the extra mile when needed.

What about Natalie Rosss performance did you like?

As stated above she very easily moved from character to character which made listening very enjoyable.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. It kept my interest very well. The story was a good one. Having characters from other books show up was fun. It is always a great addition to get to see how previous characters are doing.

Any additional comments?

I've read all of this author's books and love them all. However, the heroine in this book, Lucy, made me want to throw the book across the room. She whined the entire book. I almost couldn't finish because of her character. I didn't connect with her and didn't like her at all. David certainly deserved someone a lot different than Lucy. She kept saying how horrible her life was and when she made steps to try and change her situation she whined about that the entire time. Lucy was definitely my least favorite in all the heroines Ruth Cardello has ever written.

So dang funny

I've never read or listen to a romance book that had me laughing so hard. This is one book I will differently listen to again! I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series!!! I highly recommend it.

Wonderful Ending

This series has been wonderful. David finally gets his HEA. Struggle, trust, love a story that you fall in love with.

Lucas & Maxi

I really liked this storyline. Loved Lucas & Maxi together! The sexy times were molten hot!!!! So happy that they ended up together like they always should have been. Things were a little rocky at times but it all worked out.

Another great book in this series!

Going down for this series

I truly enjoyed this book and the series. Sophie Eastlake did an excellent as well.

This was a great book!

l loved it. Even had my fiance listening with me. And he liked it too

Great series and characters!

Great series and characters. I have already downloaded the 3rd & 4th book. Can't wait to hear Derek's story.

Quick and easy listen

Maxie is moving on from the death of her emotionally abusive and neglectful husband. Who just happens to be the brother of her best friend and love of her live. Lucas is helping Maxie to start life over after he finds out that his brother left her destitute and dishonored because of his shady dealings.

I really felt for Maxie and Lucas because they had obvious carried strong feelings for each other for quite some time. But Lucas's brother was incredibly selfish; he never cared about Maxie but only used her to hurt Lucas. They were forced to keep distant from one and other because of him.

This was my first from Carly Phillips without Erika Wilde. Won't be my last. Very easy to follow and not too dragged about. I like Sophie Eastlake performance. It's very direct.

Nice romance

Frustratingly slow to get going but a nice romance with a happy ending. Enjoyed book one more and feel this Christmas romance may well have been written in a hurry. It was supposed to be a romantic "comedy" but I didn't find myself laughing out loud. Well narrated by Emma Newman but feel she could add a bit more "enthusiasm" to her narration. Overall an enjoyable novel for an easy read.

Amazing, fun filled story

Great writing, enjoyable story and brilliantly read! This author writes fabulous easy romance stories with a healthy dose of humour. Highly recommended. Will definitely listen on!

Not worth your time

Thin storyline; annoying reader! Every sentence is read like "The End" dropping of at the end of each sentence. Couldn't focus on much else...but still didn't miss much of the storyline e.

Lovely story

Loved this story but shame it took the whole book for them to actually figure it out! Maybe a sequel in the future?

Lovely story

This was a lovely story and was well read. Anyone who enjoys a good feel romantic book will enjoy this book. All Holly Martin,s books are lovely. Can't wait to read another

Members Reviews:

Unrealistic plot line

The narrator is really good. The characters are cute. But the whole book takes place within the span of a WEEK! first meet, then deep, life altering love within 7 days. Really?!

Laugh until you cry

At first, I didn't think much of the story with the scene when they met. Then, spilling all the sordid bits of their life story within hours of meeting. It is as much a story of a nice, gossipy small town that pulls together when it needs to. there were a couple of howlingly funny scenes where I laughed until I nearly cried: penny explaining the sex noises from her room to 16 year old Daisy, trying to have sex in the car, and the crime report for the town. Penny also did a great job in telling Daisy why not to rush into sex, but also providing her with condoms.

sweet story

Love this sweet story. You will like it too. Would like more like it. l like Christmas related stories

5 star book & great narration

The plot was somewhat predictable but several good unexpected twists. Very satisfying and enjoyable. Kept my interest and sparked my imagination.

Great Romance

Easy listening to a great love story told so beautifully. Definitely recommend it to any age.

Publisher's Summary:

Trinity Carlson might be having the worst day ever. And that was before she started drinking in a dive bar, right across from her ex and his new girlfriend. So when she finally decides enough is enough, she grabs hold of a hot blond stranger and gives him the kiss of his life.

Walker Lund never expected that a chance at love would hit him right on the mouth. Since the moment his brother decided to settle down, Walker has been dodging his family's hopes that he'll do the same. He's never been interested in following in anyone's footsteps. But when he discovers his sexy assailant has given him a fake name and number, he suddenly finds himself in the mood for a little hot pursuit.

Members Reviews:

A- rating...

My Review:

Overall: 4.25

Performance: 4.5

Story: 4.25

Oooh, I really liked this story, although both the MC's have some interesting issues.

Trinity is an artist. She also has an artist's soul. She's emotional, moody, and has had serious issues with depression and self-doubt. As the story unfolds, a lot of the reasons for her issues were revealed...a couple of them really took me by surprise because I didn't see the twists coming.

Walker is the black sheep of his millionaire/billionaire family. He's the blue collar guy despite his wealth. He works construction and is generally discounted within his family and by others who normally bow down to the Lund name. Yeah, he has a few issues, too. Despite the fact this generation is all very close, including Walker, he still feels like an outsider who's taken for granted. Yep...issues.

For both these characters, they don't seem to quite fit within their world. Even in the artist world, Trinity is different. She uses lots of different mediums and doesn't restrict her artistic endeavors. She creates huge custom mixed-media pieces, small paintings that she sells for a few dollars, and will then work painting sets at the local theater. Within the constricts of the story, their situations both come to a head adding extra stress onto their relationship which isn't exactly smooth sailing to begin with. But despite that, I really loved the two of them together. Neither one is divulging all their secrets which causes issues as they move through their relationship, but I did really like them.

The story was romantic and fun. I loved every moment of listening to it. The narrators were both fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

Not hot and sexy!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Love this author but this is not her normal hot and sexy books. It a good enough story just no heat.

Almost What I Needed

Although there were some sweet and extremely amusing moments, I thought that Trinity and Walker acted a bit too immature for their reported ages (30 & 31). At first, it was enjoyable listening as they slowly got to know each other, but the humor got bogged down by self doubts and insecurity.

Trinity (and Walker to a lesser degree), had major emotional baggage from their childhoods which could have been resolved through therapy. Walker felt unappreciated and ignored by his large & loving family, yet he did not stand up for himself.

Publisher's Summary:

TJ Bennett knows one thing for certain - being in love isn't for him. Been there, done that, has the scars to prove it.

But that's before he meets colorful, sweet, slightly kooky Hope Daniels.

Hope is in town only temporarily. She simply wants to have a cup of coffee with the father she's never known. That's it. She doesn't need to buy any Father's Day cards or have a date for any father-daughter dances. She just wants to have a conversation with the man who stole her mother's heart 26 summers ago in Sapphire Falls.

But when her directions lead her to TJ's house instead, everything becomes a lot more complicated...and a lot more interesting.

Because there's nothing like a big gruff introvert to push this extrovert's let-me-make-it-all-better buttons.

All of TJ's plans to stay uninvolved and out of her way evaporate quickly, and before he knows it Hope's got him thinking differently about everything - family, home, heartbreak, and maybe, just maybe, the fact that he's never actually been in love...before now.

Members Reviews:

Awesome

Loved it!! Hope Daniels is the perfect addition to the residents of Sapphire Falls. Quirky, sweet, and free spirited Hope comes to town looking for a father she's never known. What she finds is a small town that fits her perfectly, a great group of friends, and the stoic, grumpy, and oh so sexy TJ Bennett. TJ has been burned by love in the past but his never get involved again attitude is put to the test by this newcomer. What starts as a little fun quickly turns in to more, but are the obstacles to hard to overcome?? You will definitely want to grab this one and find out! I highly recommend it.

Publisher's Summary:

A USA Today Best Seller

Have sex with a stranger in a foreign country. It was on my list. It was something I'd never done before, and I wasn't sure if I could go through with it. But I did.

Don't tell him anything about yourself. No names. No personal information. Nothing. It's all about the thrill. The mystery man. Keep him a stranger.

That one night was the best night of my entire life. He was sexy, intense, and made me feel things I had never felt before. The next morning, the thrill was over, and he was gone before I woke up.

What happened in London should have stayed in London, but it didn't. I was never supposed to see him again, but the universe had other plans, and now my happy little world was turned upside down by a man named Sebastian Bennett.

She refused to tell me her name. Normally I wouldn't care. But something inside me needed to know who she was. She was stunningly beautiful, and a name would complete her. It didn't matter anyway. In the morning I'd be gone before she woke up, and I'd never see her again. It was probably for the best anyway. I would hurt her, and she would ultimately hate me. It's what I did. It's all I knew. I was never supposed to see her again, but I did, and my desire for her was stronger than before.

I had money, looks, and a heart made of pure stone. She deserved better than me, and I knew it, but I couldn't stay away. Chloe Kane left an imprint on my soul, and now my life would never be the same, all because of One Night in London.

Sucksville

Because I'm typing on my iPhone I'll be brief!

1. Female narrator should never do male voices! She's sucks at it!

2. Male narrator should stop narrating all together! He sucks at it too!

3. Author do you know what transitional phrases are? Look them up!

4. Slow and irritating characters and storyline

Sebastian?

I wanted to know a little more about Sebastian's childhood to really understand the way he was. The book just have the bare minimum.

Not the best, not the worst

This book actually all boiled down to narration for me, I felt like I was listening to Mattel Barbie and Dr. House narrate a story. This book has so much potential I feel like if I would have read the book I would have enjoyed it so much more and I've never felt that way about any listen so far. If you can get past the narrators then give it a try, otherwise skip it.

Really..

Too much of the same thing sex, sex and more sex. The story would have been better wth less sex.

weak story; poor intimacy details

narrators not suitable for this type of romance. male voice sounded femine not strong masculine at all

ALL OVER THE PLACE!

I did not like this audiobook . I especially did not like the heroine She did not have any redeeming qualities.

the audiobook is all over the place. it jumps forward and then jumps back but you have no idea of the timeline. I think the author made the timeline far too long for them to meet again to get their happily ever after.

all I can say is read at your own peril.

Publisher's Summary:

The Angry Tide is the seventh novel in Winston Graham's sweeping series of Cornwall, Poldark.

Cornwall, towards the end of the 18th century. Ross Poldark sits for the borough of Truro as Member of Parliament - his time divided between London and Cornwall, his heart divided about his wife, Demelza.

His old feud with George Warleggan still flares, as does the illicit love between Morwenna and Drake, Demelza's brother. Before the new century dawns, George and Ross will be drawn together by a loss greater than their rivalry and Morwenna and Drake by a tragedy that brings them hope....

Critic Reviews:

"From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more." (Guardian)

Members Reviews:

Jealousy, pain, pettiness, and loss

success comes from learning about one's own place in society, and nothing matters without trust.

Nice development of the story

Characters have grown, plot remains interesting, twist are not expectable and performance excellent. This is where the original TV series ends as there where no more books to produce and the next book is 10 years later. Interesting how this is done. I enjoyed this book and if you are into this series, then you will not be disappointed with this book.

Great Performance of an Excellent Series

Would you listen to The Angry Tide again? Why?

I have always enjoyed the Poldark series by Winston Graham. He's a marvellous story teller and his writing so beautifully descriptive that when I finally got to visit Cornwall some years ago, I felt I had been there before! I have read all the books at least twice and I'm now enjoying the Audible experience and it's like reading them all for the first time again. I do hope Audible completes the series as they are all good and the story never gets stale as there are always new characters to get to know.

I love this saga!

If you could sum up The Angry Tide in three words, what would they be?

I

Can't

Even

What did you like best about this story?

As usual with these novels I love how human relations are not unidimensional. Many authors tend to present the character's relationships and feelings as a bit extreme so that they seem caricatures. In these novels, the characters seem so real

What does Oliver J. Hembrough bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?

The cadence and the accents! He's a wonderful narrator and it's such a pleasure listening to him.

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

It didn't make me cry or laugh, but it did make me reflect on my own relationship with those close to me.

Any additional comments?

These books make me happy! I don't know why, but they do.

Excellent

This book is even better than the preceding books So well read too by Oliver Hembrough!
