First book In Wilderness series

New twist to a Peggy Henderson moving West story. I read this story in print and has to listen to the story. Mr. Robert's narration was on point. Found little details to the story that I had missed in my initial read. Cora is a headstrong, independent woman who is headed out onto the Oregon Trail. She meets Nathaniel, a young mountain man, who helps her and her family along the way. Definitely recommend this story. Thanks

Excellent read

Cora has to get her family to Oregon. It is a much needed fresh start for all of them. Only problem is none of the wagon masters will allow an unwed women with 3 sisters and a child to join in with their group.
Nathaniel is trying to get home with the supplies to last he and his brothers and Harley for the winter when the Indians steal his horses.
In her way, Peggy L. Henderson weaves their seemingly unrelated stories together that leaves you yearning for more.
I loved getting to know these characters better. Her stories are independent of each other but have interrelated characters. I have come to look forward to each of her books and the awesome ways she brings the stories together.
Cora's Pride is a great book that I recommend to anyone that loves historical romances, to read. It contains everything from romance to fast moving action.

I was given an audible copy to listen to in exchange for an honest review.

Cody does it for Peggy again!

I LOVE Peggy’s books — they are authentic and well written, but when I listen to Cody narrate them, they just come to life!

My First Audible Book

My first impression of listening to a book instead of reading was a little cheesy at first, but as I kept listening to the narrator, excellent voice and job by the way, I was able to have a very clear view in my mind of the scenery unfolding before me and of the characters coming to life.
Cora's Pride has a story line that grabs you and makes you want to keep "listening". The characters were easy to fall in love with.
I loved being able to listen to the story as I was getting ready for work in the morning and even being able to listen on my drive to work.
I would definitely recommend this book. The story was good and left you feeling the need to continue on with the rest of the characters.

Cora's Pride

I am loving this new series by Peggy L. Henderson. It is always wonderful taking the journey with two characters and watching how, although flawed, they somehow heal each other with their love.

Great Love Story

If you could sum up Cora's Pride in three words, what would they be?

Have you listened to any of Cody Roberts’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Cody Roberts' narrations are always superb. His rendition of "Cora's Pride" is one of his best.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both. The story of Josie is heart wrenching. Having a stubborn heroine and a stubborn hero just made for some interesting conversations.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the first book in Ms. Henderson's new series. It was also fun to find out what character(s) from previous books would make an appearance.

This is another fantastic read by the author and narration by Mr. Roberts.

Another Amazing New Series!

What made the experience of listening to Cora's Pride the most enjoyable?

Cody Roberts! He hit it out of the ballpark again! He breathes life into the characters of Nathaniel and Cora make the story even more wonderful!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cora's Pride?

The scene with the preacher and what he says to Nathaniel and Cora. It was funny and I think was the point when you saw them band together rather than war at each other. They have to endure this preacher and truly see that they are stronger together.

What about Cody Roberts’s performance did you like?

Cody's smooth, slightly western drawl really brings the story to life! It is rare that you find a man who can do a female voice and not sound whiny or like a little girl. In Cora's Pride, Cody had 4 women's voices to perform and he did an excellent job. He also made all of the men sound different and believable too.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The scene when Nathaniel gets shot. I will say now more, you will have to listen to it!

Any additional comments?

Cora is moving her family to Oregon only to be stopped by being abandoned by the wagon train. So instead of turning back, she carries on only to find that keeping her family safe is harder than she thought. Nathaniel just wants to stay alive and get his horses back from the Crow so that he can get his family's winter supplies home. The problem is that now he has no horse and he only has his feet to travel until he sees a horse that he decides to borrow . . . Cora's horse. From the very beginning, these two have a connection even though their first encounter is explosive. Can their separate disappointing pasts lead them to a promising future?

Peggy does it again with this new series. I enjoyed the humor and depth of characters as well as cameos from a prior series. It is wonderful to see how Peggy continues to share her love of the Yellowstone/Teton area. Sit back and experience another area of the Teton area in this beautifully written book.

The audible book was given to me to review.

This is a heartwarming story about a proud young woman bound and determined to get her family to Oregon, and a good-hearted mountain man, just as determined to make her his.
