Something More

By: Janet Dailey

Narrated by: Renée Raudman

From New York Times best-selling author Janet Dailey comes a captivating story of a man who's given up, a woman who won't let go, and a race to find a treasure that could bring them wealth and so much more.

Life in Glory, Wyoming, population 51, isn't exactly exciting. The dusty old town isn't even on the map. And for rancher Luke McCallister, that's just fine. Broken by tragedy, the stoic cowboy spends his time at his 10 Bar Ranch or down at Ima Jane's Rimrock Bar, trying to avoid the gossip being served along with the food and drink. But the everyday quiet of his life is shattered when he finds a human skull - and possibly the key to Glory's oldest mystery.

It was 100 years ago that a band of outlaws were said to have buried their gold in Glory. The one surviving bandit took the secret of the treasure's hiding place with him to the gallows. Angie Sommers knows the story cold: that man was her great-great-grandfather. She's come to Glory to see if the old legend of the gold is true, and she wants Luke to help her find it. She even has a possible clue written by the dead man himself.

Luke has no interest in chasing after pipe dreams. He's seen the damage too much hope can bring. Still, he can't deny that Angie makes him feel things he hasn't allowed himself to feel in years. Something about her sweet, trusting nature, her honest eyes, and unshakable belief makes him feel alive again - and that could be dangerous. For someone else is determined to stop Angie, someone who would do anything for the outlaws' gold. Now, bound by the thinnest of ties and shadowed by danger, Luke and Angie set off in search of a mystery as romantic as the West itself on a journey of faith that will take them into Wyoming's rugged, treacherous terrain and even deeper into the heart's tender graces.

Critic reviews

"Veteran tale-spinner Dailey depicts ranching life with a sure-handed, affectionate humor." ( Publishers Weekly)

love ❤

The narration was great. She did the different voices in an awesome way. I was interacting with the
characters.

Wonderful suspense $ romance

Loved the storyline. It had a good mysterious tone to it but not too ominous. It had just a bit of romance but not overly mushy. Loved it!

loved it

At first, I wasn't sure I'd even like this book. Before I knew it, I was listening to it nonstop. I absolutely loved the storyline, characters, and overall draw of this book. Definitely recommend.

Where is the ending?.

Give us at least an epilog. Story seemed to stop before it was finished. Could have had more of a story.

Good book

It was a good book but if you are looking for Romance, there isn’t any in here. It’s just a good story.

Bare Bones

Barely a romance, a mystery, a drama. Of the three main characters only two are filled out. There are only a few things we learn about Luke and not enough to see why the goody two shoes heroine starts to fall for him or even why he is attracted to Meg. A couple characters border on villainous even, but even they are given a pass. There is a decent mystery about the search for long ago buried gold from a train robbery. But in this tale several people are seen at their worst with little redeeming acts. Like a mother saying he’s just little, and the child saying sorry because he was caught. Not a bad tale, just don’t expect the normal romance drama Janet Dailey usually writes. This could have been better but characters really needed to be more balanced, fleshed out and more reason to fall in love with Luke and Meg. It feels rushed, unfinished, like chunks of the story that would draw the listener/reader in missing.

Cute!

Predictable but entertaining. It was a good story and moved along nicely. Narration was cheesy at times…
