When you are women traveling on a train by yourself to meet
the man you agreed to marry through a mail order bride ad and your train is
taken over, they kidnap you just long enough to get away, throw you down, you hit
your head, and everything goes black. You wake up not knowing where you are or
who you are what do you do? You latch on to the man that saves you and becomes
your hero but what do you do when the man doesn’t want to be latched on to? You
hold on for dear life since he is the only person you know. This is the easy
part but what do you do when your attend comes for you? I can tell you this
there are a lot of twists and turns in this story that hold your attention.
Just when you think it has all gone south there is another turn in the road.
The narrator does a wonderful job he really delivers the
emotion of his characters giving a wonderful entertaining audio. His female and
male voices are wonderful, you always know who is talking and just what they
are feeling. He has a smooth strong voice that gives just enough pauses between
each character to build the story to its height. No background noises, no
volume changes just a smooth clean and clear audio. I thought his performance was
wonderful. If any breaks were taken I could not tell. I could really hear the pain, confusion and
sorrow in Leila voice along with the uneasiness and confusion in Dan’s voice.
The outlaws where great he really bought them to life as he gives them anger,
confusion and defeat to their voices. This is the first time I have listen to any of
his work I was very impressed.
The story I am torn I can understand why Leila felt the way
she did but I am unsure in that time period if a women would go the lengths she
did. If she had some more experience I would go along with it but to be honest
who am I to say what a person would do when they has amnesia. I really wanted
to feel sorry for her but with her action I just could not. Dan is who I felt the sorriest for as he tries
to do what is right but she isn’t having any of that. He really is a man of honor and practice what
he preaches. As he comes to understand
he does has feeling for her he still can’t work through marrying her and
leaving her behind with his dangerous job. There are so many things in their
way and what about the man is to marry.
What the author gives you is a very entertaining story
filled with action from the train robbery, cattle rustlers in one exciting read
that pulls you in and takes you back in time to when the west was a very wild
place to live. She brings religion into it with spiritual meaning in a clean
story about a man who put god first but is tempted by a women who he really
would love to have.
