Oh my what a heartbreaking story of one women who lost her
whole family but one cousin she is trying so hard to get to. She starts out on
a wagon train only to have the daughter of the family she is traveling with get
very sick. They can’t go on but she isn’t giving up so easy, she will stay and
find another way. After many road blocks she has one last choice only to find
the man she asked to be his cook turns her down. What is she to do now? They do
finally decide on a way they can help each other only to find it isn’t as easy
as they thought. Caroline will have to face issues she
never has before, one learning how to cook on an open fire. You think it can’t
be that hard but you are so very wrong, turn you back just for a minute and you
can find charcoal. This is just one of many things these two will have to deal
with.
The narrator is good although at times she pauses when she
should not and doesn’t where she should have. I thought she gave the characters
true emotion that was easy to feel. Her character voices were very good you
knew who was talking and what they were feeling. Male and female voices were
very nice. There are no background
noises and only one place that I could tell she repeated a word, my guess this
is when a break was taken. I had to trouble feeling the pain Caroline went through trying to get to her family. The narrator’s
normal voice is just as pleasant as her character voices. You could really hear
the emotions from sadness to excitement. Except for the pauses she did a
wonderful job and gives a very nice listen. I do look forward to hearing more
of her work.
Caroline is strong, demanding and so
caring, she takes things on the chin will give her last breath and still give
another. Simon is a true gentleman he is caring, sharing and so giving. This does
get him into trouble and way over his head at times. These characters are
amazing how they give and take learning how to work together only to have their
feelings go a little farther than they would have liked. I had no trouble at
all feeling like I was part of this story walking the trail, picking up
firewood or buffalo chips. I would have to agree with Caroline that is nasty
lol. The story is very realistic and to some point I feel may have happened. It
is a lovely Christian based sorry with soul and meaning giving the read some excitement,
thrills and even a few heart stopping moments. Very well written with no filler
just some very good old fashion romance as two people help each other towards a
common goal. What happens along the way is delightful, fun and dangerous. It is
a well balanced story with a little of everything in it. There are
misunderstanding which lead them to have to work out some issues. People get in
the way and some aren’t very nice. I did enjoy the characters and all that they
bought to the story. I loved the faith the characters had not only in those
around them but in God. The author knows how to pull you in giving you a very
well written entertaining read that you can’t put down. This is one of the best books the author has
written, it is exciting, daring and cute along with sad, painful and at time
bittersweet.

Summary
Caroline is desperate to reach Oregon and find her only
living relative. She persuades Simon, a man traveling on a wagon train, to let
her pose as his wife. As they face and overcome capture by Indians and other
dangerous adventures along the Oregon Trail, Caroline and Simon bond as
friends. When they reach Oregon and Caroline's Aunt Hattie, they go their separate
ways as agreed upon at the beginning of their farce. Soon, they both realize
that parting was a mistake. Did love come too quietly for them to recognize
it--and have they lost their chance? Will they find each other again? Clean
romance.
