Resumen del Editor

Greta Nilsson's trip west to save her ailing little sister, Astrid, could not have gone more wrong. First, bandits hold up her stagecoach, stealing all her money. Then, upon arriving in Fairplay, Colorado, she learns the man she was betrothed to as a mail-order bride has died. Homeless, penniless, and jobless, Greta and her sister are worse off than when they started.

Wyatt McQuaid is struggling to get his new ranch up and running and is in town to purchase cattle when the mayor proposes the most unlikely of bargains. He'll invest in a herd of cattle for Wyatt's ranch if Wyatt agrees to help the town become more respectable by marrying and starting a family. And the mayor, who has promised to try to help Greta, has just the candidate in mind for Wyatt to marry.

All round a good read

I love this book and storyline! No vulgarity or profanity and just an all round good book. There is romance and adventure and such a good storylines. I am excited to read the next book in the series.

Good story line

The story line is good. The narrators voice whispering when speaking female vs louder speaking male drove me nuts!! Also the characters wishy washy thoughts drove me nuts as well!!

Good story but could be shorter

I enjoyed the story line for the most part. I think we could have gotten the same story with a couple of hours shaved off. There were stretches of inner thoughts that seemed to be on repeat and that got a bit frustrating. There were also a few side stories that were important to the story, and played out, however, I thought they were going to be more meaty but they weren’t.

This is all just my own opinion. Overall, I REALLY appreciate a good story without having to cringe when gratuitous foul language or sex comes up. I’m not a prude, but I really would rather not have that in my ears just to hear a good story.

Nice good book I like the tease at the end

Nice story I liked the teaser at the end. I would buy the sequel for sure

A book for keeps!

First time I’ve read this author, and glad I did! A sweet love story, vivid characters and good narration. Recommend, high morals and free of bad language. Well done!

Christian Historical Romance

When everything seems like "it's not going your way", and maybe it's even "out to destroy what little you have", it's time to face the facts. Either God is punishing you, which is not in His character. Or, God is trying to get your attention and remind you that He wants to walk WITH you THROUGH the storms of life! He's trying to get your attention so He can give you His best and He gets the glory!
This is such a powerful story!
The narration was very good.

Good listen

I like the book! I look for clean ,Christian books w/o bad language. Interesting story. I would like to listen to more of her books!!!💓💓💓🙏🙏🙏🙏

It was a great listen

I really enjoyed the storyline I loved the plot twist towards the end. I look forward to listening the rest of the series! 🥰

Sacrifice!

This was my first book by the author and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read/listen to more. The storyline and characters were very engaging. To sacrifice your own needs for anthers and do what was best based on their needs was very inspiring and caused me to question how far would I go could I sacrifice so much of myself.

Wonderful story, whiny narrator.

It was Jody Headland that started my love affair with historical romance and audible. I love her writing, and have purchased every single one of her books. I’ve never left a bad review in my life and I hate to now. It is only that I am a performer/narrator, and it felt to me like this narrator was continuously on the verge of bursting out into tears. It kept a tension continuously present. There has to be moments of softening, there has to be variation, but it just sounded so piteous throughout making it really hard to listen to, for me anyways.
