What a twist!

I have listened to a lot of mail order bride books, and i have to say this is one of the best! I know, you think it's because it's a Bride of New Jersey, but even me being a Jersey girl did not see the twist in this story coming! Hope answers the letter for a mail order bride and travels to NJ. Here she meets her elusive fiance, Roscoe and his charge, Addie. Addie is such a sweet girl, and Hope takes to her right away. Not so much to Roscoe. As time goes on, they find their rhythm and fall in love. But is love enough? The surprises in this story caught my attention, and honestly, I am not sure what I would have done in Hope's shoes. But I am not going to give anything away here! Give this a listen! If you enjoy historical romances, Amelia C Adams will enchant you.

Meghan Kelly brings this one to life like no other I have heard her narrate. I think the emotion and surprises keep the tension high and she rises to the occasion in each voice she performs. I especially love when she does kids, and her voice for Addie is perfection. Another wonderful performance.

Emotional

What a great story! Hope had no hope, until she agreed to become a mail order bride. When she got there to marry him, she got the surprise of her life. Meghan Kelly brought it to life with her narration! A fantastic narrator! What a tangled web we weave, when we first practice to deceive. I loved this adventure!

Fun story

This was a fun story to listen to. Twists and turns kept you guessing what was going to happen next. Great narration as well.

Wonderful

Wonderful retelling of the classic Jane Eyre with the Mail-Order Bride spin. All of the characters come alive with fabulous interactions. A story of heartache, redemption and second chances with comedic relief and a precious child. Excellent listen and read.

Hope bride of New Jersey

I thoroughly enjoyed Amelia Adams story of Hope. Amelia has a great style and always finds a way to not be an ordinary story. Loved the ending. Would highly recommend.

Sweet Mail-order bride story

Great lovestory, bittersweet ending. Narrator did an excellent job with all the different voices. Full complete story, just perfect in its length and depth.

Excellent Narration - Knew the Story

This book was like listening to Jane Eyre set in the US instead of the UK and although I knew that going in I didn't think it would follow so closely the original story. The only differences being that the female lead is called Hope, not Jane and that she meets Mr Edwards by answering an advertisement for a mail order wife. If I had not read and loved Jane Eyre I would probably have given this story a higher rating. If, however, you have never read or listened to Jane Eyre you will love this story, the characters are well defined, and feel real, I really like all of them. You can not fail but to like Hope, she is strong and has not let life bring her down. She and Addie had a wonderful relationship and I loved how she was determined to bring out the best in her. As for her relationship with Mr Edwards, I have to say I liked his personality more than Mr Rochester's.

The narration of this book was performed by Meghan Kelly and I have to say that she did a wonderful job, she brought the story to life beautifully and performed each character so well that there was never any doubt who was speaking at the time.

I was given a copy of this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

great story

This book is reminiscent of Jane Eyre. Another Amelia Adams masterpiece very much worth reading.

Great series

This is a good book that is part of a series. Amelia is such a great story teller. I enjoy all her books. it was easy to listen too.
