About this audiobook
stove. It's the latest model and makes her believe her cooking alone
will encourage the Boss Man to let her stay until she has enough money
to travel to California and be reunited with the man she promised to
marry. Big John Thompson returns from the spring river drive to find
the man he hired to cook for the lumberjacks is a slip of a girl-
Danielle Jones. To make matters worse, Miss Jones decides John needs a
wife, and sets out to find him one . . .
Lauri Robinson
Lauri Robinson lives in Minnesota where she and her husband spend every spare moment with their three grown sons and their families—spoiling the grandchildren. She’s a member of Romance Writers of America and Northern Lights Writers. Along with volunteering for several organizations, she is a diehard Elvis and NASCAR fan. Her favorite getaway location is along the Canadian Border of Northern Minnesota on the land homesteaded by her great-grandfather.

Reviews for A Wife for Big John
21 ratings3 reviews
- Ashley BumgardnerRating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5book was ok but I had to stop near the end it was mediocre I knew what was going to happen was very hard to stay with the book without falling alseep.
- ladyti-1Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A sweet rated PG romance. But it should be noted that this romance has VERY SIGNIFICANT religious bias and focus, though it is not mentioned in its reviews. Believable historical accuracy and plotline.
- dianna_the_huntressRating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very interesting story that builds the relationship slowly. An excellent read.
