    About this audiobook

    When a pretty spitfire who's down on her luck clashes with a stubborn man in search of a wife, sparks must turn to flames.... A year after the Civil War, courageous former Union nurse Lydia McQuire was gamely scraping out an honest living. But now, as she said yes to marrying a stranger, her knees gave way with fear. Mr. Devon Quade had seemed polite and handsome when she answered his ad for a wife. Only after Lydia had arrived in Washington territory did she learn that her bridegroom wasn't to be sweet Devon Quade, but his older brother Brigham, a widower with strapping shoulders, hands as strong as steel, and an arrogant belief that he was lord and master of his lumber empire, the town of Quade's Harbor, and the woman he married. Lydia's dislike of him was instantaneous...yet Brigham was awakening in her a white-hot passion, and a firm resolve: before she would share his bed, he would have to surrender himself, heart and soul, to love....

      Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook! I loved it! Author is awesome!
    • 4/5
      It's a better book than I was expecting. Lydia stays true to herself and her convictions although her momentary lapses into passionate lust come off as funnier than intended. Maybe it's just that I'm not an afficienado of the romance genre. :P

      Yankee Wife.

      I dont usually like historicals. I dont like the men thinkin their boss and women being submissive. and young girls didnt need to kniw anything more than wifes.
      YUCK

      I have to say I like this book A Lot!
      yes Bingham is dominating and thinks hes the master. But Lydia is there to even him out. I didnt like how she was so easily swayed by sex, but eh.

      I liked how Devon and Polly leveled eachother as well. she was sweet. I think I would have liked a little more from those two.

      Bo conplaints to big. I enjoyed this read
