What you will find between these pages is a wonderful clean
read full of spiritual faith, wrapped around forgiveness, overcoming, moving
on, family, friends, helping others and believing in yourself. We meet normal
people with normal problems and issues. Jake needs help to raise his niece who
is a little on the wild side, he wants her to outgrow her tomboy ways and
become more lady like. He feels she needs a woman in her life to teach her the
things she needs to know. Evangeline has problems of her own which her niece
decides she just needs to start over with a new life. The niece starts writing
and makes her a male order bride. Evangeline isn’t thrilled about this but
decides maybe just maybe this is the best for her. What follows is danger,
cattle rustling, murder, a plot of deceit, not everyone is who they say they
are, mystery, growing, learning and love.
As always Ms. Kelly’s narration is great she pulls you in with the facts the author gives with wonderful character voices. Her characters are very wide range giving a multiple variation of well blended characters. You can hear true emotions of each character as they go through their day to day life. You can hear her shock, fear, happiness and laughter in her voice. She makes you believe what is happening and pulls you in taking you back in time to another place where it was very wild, and dangerous. There are no repeating of wording, no background noise, no volume changes and no breaks that I can tell. What you get is a wonderful delightful audio that is clean and clear with a great plot that you can almost smell the earth, see the land that lays out before your eyes. Ms. Kelly’s performance is wonderful and gives a delightful listen.
I really liked this plot, there are surprises I didn’t see coming, yes it is a romance but it is so much more than that. The author does a wonderful job showing us what it would have been like back then from the danger to PSTD from being a survivor of the civil war. Jake lost so much from the love of his life who picked another, losing his brother and his wife, and maybe even his ranch but Evangeline has lost just as much in a time when woman didn’t have a career she made one but lost it. Now she spends her time hiding her skills until she has no choice but to show them. She was a delightful caring character who gives so much. Jake is very supportive, caring and loving man who gives so much of his self. This maybe a marriage of convenience but it turns into so much more as they learn to live, love and grow taking each set back on the chin. I enjoyed the mystery around the cattle rustling, as well as who is hiding what and for what reason. Not everything is as it seems the author gives you surprise after surprise with a few shocks. I thought it was well written with wonderful characters, very entertaining and just a wonderful Christian read.
