Sweet, clean, Christian romance
A Bride for Bode is a sweet, traditional romance, with religious themes throughout. Though this audiobook was listed as a Historical Romance due to its old west setting, I felt that it fits much more comfortably in the Christian Romance category, as faith is central to the plot and is referenced at each stage of the characters' development.
It's a very gentle story, with an undemanding plot and quite a simple writing style. There are few surprises in any of the revelations as the mysteries are resolved, and it is clear from the start that goodly, clean-living, family values will triumph over the evils of others. It felt very much like the sort of bedtime story a church-going grandmother would tell a little girl, with a strong moral message and a happy-ever-after at the end.
The narrator, Jessica Caruso, was new to me but has a very friendly, expressive voice that was pleasant to listen to. Her pacing and inflection was occasionally a little mechanical with odd pauses. This was made more obvious by the proliferation of adjectives within the writing, which were often tagged-on to the end of a sentence.
I would recommend this audiobook to listeners who like traditional, sweet, clean, Christian romances.
*I received this audiobook free of charge in the hope of an honest, unbiased review.
