OH Susannah!

What a sweet and spanking fun historical western! Amelia Smarts does it again with her load able characters and original themes. I have read many mail order bride books, but this mail order groom book had me hooked from the beginning. Adam comes to the suck of Susannah in so many ways. Without giving the story away, we see Adam come in and literally turn Susannah's life around from bratty woman to humble wife. She has a lot of growing to do and Adam is able to help her through her dilemmas. I have to say, I always a cringe a little when the dominant cowboy comes in with the first spanking, but these heroes that Amelia Smarts creates always are such tender men you can't help but fall in love with them. Adam really encompasses so many wonderful qualities and tames his new wife, but I have to say the breakout scenes were the ones between Adam and Caleb. When a rough and tough character like Adam can relate to a small boy like Caleb, you know you have a swoon worthy man.

Ken Solin is the narrator of this fun-loving book. I love his western twang and his slow paced drawl is just how I picture the old west. Perfect for Amelia's books.

Susannah and Adam

I really enjoy Amelia Smarts writing style and this book is no exception. It is the first book of the Mail-Order Grooms series. This was a good story and nice quick listen. Quite a bit of spanking goes on. This was a great historical western. Ken Solin did a great job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Well

The story wasn’t to bad, yet little much on the spanking...I thought the H was a bit harsh, yet at other times not so harsh...it was an ok story

Good quick listen!

I liked this book and storyline. I felt the narrator definitely brought something to the story. There is true connection between all the characters including Caleb.

Not My Style

I couldn’t decide if it was the narrator that made the story amateurish, or vice versa. And I don’t care for the mild BDSM. It seemed like a bedroom roll playing scenario, not an authentic western historical.

Good story

Right from the start, the story held my interest. The hero strong and firm. Susannah choose wise., he knew how to run and get the ranch in shape. Including knowing how o handle and deal with Susannah.

Ridiculous

None of it makes sense. The woman isn't just spoiled, but stupid. I hate stupid. The man is chauvinistic pig, which actually makes sense, but not for her to KNOW THAT and still marry him.

Hot but sweet love story

Hot but sweet second chance at love ! I enjoyed the way Adam was strong but loving with Samatha . His ruff ways weren't all he was it his surprising gentleness that made him sweet . The story brought tears when her son got in a fight defending his mom even when he didn't understand what the words meant. Adam was so.proud of his " son " and that made me love the man even more .

Surprisingly Entertaining

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher, and/or narrator.

I enjoyed this story more than I thought I would. Anything with mail-order bride/groom attached ro it makes me cringe, but I'm glad I gave this book a try.

I really liked Adam's character. He did not hold back and had no problems expressing his thoughts and disappointments. When he leaves his own ranch behind to answer Susannah's marriage proposal he's unhappy to discover her trickery when he finds he has to basically audition with 2 other men for her hand in marriage. Despite Susannah wanting a man she can control, she ends up with a man who has no problem taking charge and doesn't hesitate to put her in her place. Susannah gets a reality check when her spoiled behavior that her father enabled in her will no longer be tolerated by her new husband.

I seriously loved how Adam took control and had no problems bending Susannah over his knee to punish her for her childish behavior. But more than that I loved how they wanted their marriage to work and the sexual chemistry was very hot.

The narration was really good and made this book that much more enjoyable.
