Bliss


(5 stars)

Yet another wonderful novel by Grace Livingston Hill, probably my favourite. I can't get enough of her books - this is the third in 2 weeks. I particularly love the references to God, and the encouraging testimony throughout. The Bible verses were so comforting. It makes me long for a godly romance too. Gail did a great job, again, at reading. I love her voice - wish she did more readings! All in all, it was perfect. I wish it was many, many hours longer.

This was an adventurous romance novel for Christian women to enjoy as it is flowery in speech. It was a bit difficult at times to get around the Brooklyn accent of the reader. Over all, the story was good and demonstrated strength of character.

loved the narrator...this is the second book I have listened to that she has read. ' The Enchanted Barn' is another one that was read with animated voices of the characters that came alive in the story. The author Grace Livingston Hill fills ones heart with joy of a world that is sadly lacking in the one we live in today

Wonderful


(4.5 stars)

I really enjoyed listening to this. I love the how the main character is different to most women being portrayed in that time period. I do love classic stories with more simple characters. But Elizabeth’s personality was so fun. I also love the dialogue between Elizabeth and George. It was very personal and you got to learn a lot more about the characters for who they really are. Gail Mattern did a great job at capturing the different characters’ voices. Elizabeth’s journey with God and her new outlook on faith was one of my favorite parts.This is definitely one of my favorite books now.

Inspiring and Reflective


(5 stars)

Hill's descriptions of Montana’s sweeping plains and majestic mountains immerse readers in the rugged beauty and challenges of frontier life. It’s a book that leaves a lasting impression, reminding us of the enduring power of hope, faith and belief in the face of adversity. Kudos to the narrator, Gail. Loved her voice.Well read narrative! I'm just getting into Grace Livingston 's books.

a great romance adventure


(4.5 stars)

the girl from Montana is an adventure from the very first chapter. it is a Christian thriller romance and has very good character development. The reader has a strong American accent which fits with the characters in the story and the time it was written in.

sweet read religious throughout


(4 stars)

very good job done by the volunteer reader, thank you! a clean romance novel. very sweet sounding. you just want to smack the main characters because they just keep getting in there own way for finding love with each other. you find yourself going "oh no! you forgot to tell him____." the book talks a lot about god, faith, and saving power. not as clever a thriller as the authors other books.

Nice Read


(4 stars)

Yes, reader does decent job, has eastern accent (not too thick), & enunciated a little slower than I'd prefer. But that's okay. As to the "leaving too many unanswered questions at the end", I felt it was all part of the author's intension "they lived happily ever after" & serving / living out their faith.
