Mail-Order Brides of the West by Debra Holland - Darcy (#5) Audio Book Tour !

Author: Debra Holland (Mail Order Brides series)
Narrator: Lara Asmundson
Publisher: Debra Holland
Genre: Romance; Historical Fiction    
      High-society lady Darcy Russell has a dangerous secret. The only way to stay safe is to flee far away and marry a man who knows nothing about her family background or their money. All she asks for is a husband who lives in the country, is kind, and will match her intellectual interests, especially with modern philosophy.
        Shy Gideon Walker has escaped the pressures and abuse of his family and found a refuge in the forest around Sweetwater Springs, Montana. There, he's created a fairy-tale setting and crafts whimsical furniture, which few people ever see. An avid reader and student of philosophy, he longs for a wife to love and to share his gentle abode. Yet he can't bring himself to go out into the world to find her.
         When neighboring mail-order bride Lina Barrett sets up a match between the two, Darcy believes she's found her safe haven--until her secrets catch up with her.
          Mail-Order Brides of the West: Darcy takes place simultaneously with Mail-Order Brides of the West: Heather and is set seven years before Wild Montana Sky. See Caroline Fyffe's companion book, Mail-Order Brides of the West: Katherine to find out what happens to Darcy's friend and fellow mail-order bride when she travels to Y Knot, Montana.

REVIEW By LAWonder10:
This was another delightful Mail-Order bride tale!
In 'Darcy', there are more complications and adventures than most of the others.

At Darcy's brother's wedding reception, Darcy overheard her brother and a man talking. She couldn't believe he'd be so devious! It was definitely unsafe for her to remain there. Her options for escape were nearly impossible.  Then she felt a rustling inside her sleeve and retrieved a paper. It was ridiculous, yet this way, her brother would find it very difficult to discover her whereabouts.

Darcy, in her twenties, was considered by some as being doomed to becoming a  spinster.  Still, although not very pretty, she was dignified, with a high level of self-confidence. She had high integrity and was a survivor.

After developing a brief but dedicated time with other "mail-order brides'. she would now have to depend on one's recommendation, if she were to find safety. If the others could adjust to the harsh life of the West, so could she.

So far away from her home, would she find peace and safety?

The characters are, once again, very well developed and mostly endearing. The scenes offer adventure and are easily visualized. The Title and book cover, chosen well.

Narrator, Lara Asmundson, once again, does an outstanding job in narrating.

I offer a Five Stars rating on story, performance and overall.
*Although gifted me, there was no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.
