About this listen

Greta Nilsson's trip west to save her ailing little sister, Astrid, could not have gone more wrong. First, bandits hold up her stagecoach, stealing all her money. Then, upon arriving in Fairplay, Colorado, she learns the man she was betrothed to as a mail-order bride has died. Homeless, penniless, and jobless, Greta and her sister are worse off than when they started.

Wyatt McQuaid is struggling to get his new ranch up and running and is in town to purchase cattle when the mayor proposes the most unlikely of bargains. He'll invest in a herd of cattle for Wyatt's ranch if Wyatt agrees to help the town become more respectable by marrying and starting a family. And the mayor, who has promised to try to help Greta, has just the candidate in mind for Wyatt to marry.

Good but not great

I like the book, it’s simple and has a love story but not very steamy or thrilling. It’s a gentle one, which is nice. The narrator had a very whiney voice for the child, which was kind of annoying. The main character- Greta- has annoying and pathetic traits which are frustrating. She seems to forget that most people in those times would marry for a dowry and gets so upset at one given for her. Which is just unrealistic for 1862. I still wanted to find out what happened in the end so I listened at an increased speed.
But I did find the constant doubts and poor self esteem the main characters had quite suffocating -and repetitive.
