About this listen

Raised by his fur trapper father and uncles, Jack Briggs makes do with little more than a knife and flask. Alone now, he searches for a place to call home. And refined and beautiful Penelope Findley may be the person who can help him find it as he leads the Findleys’ wagon to Oregon.

Honor bound by her marriage vows, Penelope snubs the handsome wagon leader whenever he shows an interest in her. When she is widowed following a river crossing accident, Jack tempts her with the means to remain independent: protection in a temporary marriage and payment in exchange for helping him obtain the free acreage allotted to married settlers in Oregon.

What Penelope doesn’t realize is that Jack wants more than the land. He wants her. But can he overlook her disreputable past? And will she be able to give up the freedom he promised?

slow development

the story was interesting I wouldn't say it wasn't it was a slow development and it was very very special story but sometimes you felt like it stretched a little bit too far the story might be a little bit shorter but I did enjoy it a lot and overall it's a great story

Ok

I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This story started out pretty good. I got lost somewhere in the middle then it ended pretty well. The wagon train experiences were a bit off as well as the death of the husband. But overall I enjoyed the story. the narration was good and kept the story moving along.

Narration definitely took away from the story.

It took several restarts as I would lose interest because of the stilted, robotic narration. I found that I liked the characters and the story but feel I would have gotten more out of the story with a professional doing the storytelling. With a better listening experience, I believe my rating would have been higher. This is a perfect example of when authors choose to go with inexperienced narrators . . . including if they decide to do their own narration. Just because you can write and/or read a story does not mean you can effectively tell a story well enough to capture the listener.
