Great Yarn - Makes Me Want to Ride!

Nice to have a Native American protagonist. I usually only listen to audiobooks in my car, but I found I needed to keep listening to find out what happens next. Hard to describe how much fun this was. A modern day western and a captivating romance tale. The narrator did an amazing job bringing the characters to life, highly recommend!

I liked this book I think there should be more

I loved this book it had some great stuff in it I would totally recommend this book it is amazing

Great Book

Jim who is at first an endearing, lost, inchoate person, evolves by a profound journey ahead - only to find a treasure of his own, unbeknownst to him. You feel like you are in a modern day Wild West filled with native cultural touches and scenic flare of the west coast. The book is filled with symbolism, loads of action on motorcycles, heart filled moments, and perfectly descriptive scenes. Parts of it were very resonating - leaving me feeling like I was in my own movie, not knowing what was coming next.

I loved the portrayal of each character, their cooky names and the natural and alluring relationship between Jim and Sam, and how their individual struggles and their treasure became one.

Without giving more away, I will say this book is easily one of my favorites and I will be getting a physical book to keep at home!

very good
