About this listen
It’s 1916, and Idaho rancher Cleo Arlington knows everything about horses but nothing about men. So when charged with transforming English aristocrat Sherwood Statham from playboy into cowboy, she’s totally disconcerted. So is Statham, who’s never encountered a woman succeeding in a “man’s world”. Their bumpy trot into romance is frustrating, exhilarating, and ultimately heartwarming.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Why is The Book of Enoch so important to anyone interested in Biblical history? The answer is simple: It is directly quoted in the New Testament by Jude (vv.14-15). Themes of the book referenced in 2 Peter 2:1. Jesus also used content from The Book of Enoch in many of his sermons in Matthew and Luke. In this text, you will hear the word of God through this amazing document. We will take this amazing journey together and learn why this text is not an official book of the Bible.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

Story
Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.

Fun Series
I really like the characters and story line but the author's "male" voices are hard on the ears. Would be nice to actually HAVE a male voice reading the parts.

I've read better
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I wouldn't recommend this book, the plot is OK but the narrator didn't differentiate among the characters and I often had trouble knowing who was talking. I don't wish to be preached to or receive religious instruction in my recreational reading so the religious messages were not welcome. If an author wants to push their religious beliefs then they should label a book honestly and clearly as christian fiction - so I know to stay away.

Middle of a great trilogy
This follow-up to A Vote of Confidence is not quite as good as the last, but actually made me love book one even more. I realized just how much I enjoyed the sister connection between Gwen and Cleo and missed it just a bit now that Gwen is married and expecting. Perhaps that was a bit of what Cleo was feeling too, the natural separation that happens when sisters grow up into their own lives and families. There are no huge surprises in Fit to Be Tied's plot line, but then again, who says there has to be? It is an easy, sweet read that transports you back in time to early 1900's, small-town, Western community life and throws in a romance into the bargain. I look forward to book three.

Sweet story
Would you try another book from Robin Lee Hatcher and/or Kathy Garver?
Yes.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I thought Cleo's personality and tom boy behavior was the most interesting. I thought Sherwood's change seemed a little quick.
What about Kathy Garver’s performance did you like?
I loved the way the narrator used different accents and tonality for different characters. After a few chapters, I was easily able to recognize each character by the tone of her voice.
Was Fit to Be Tied worth the listening time?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
While very entertaining, I felt the story line became very predictable by the middle of the book. But, I was glad I finished through to the end. It was a sweet romance, worth the time.

Lovely story
This, like the previous one "Vote of Confidence" was absolutely beautiful. I really look forward to the next one! The narrator was better in this one with accents, but still mixed up voices at times, but she has a lovely voice and brings the story thru as real. God bless you all

Not bad, but liked the first one better
I started "Fit to Be Tied" almost as soon as I finished "A Vote of Confidence," but I found I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first book in the series. It's a cute story, but the character development made it feel a little implausible to me.
While I liked Cleo, I had a harder time identifying with her than I did with Gwen. I think it was what seemed to me to be her conflicting character traits. On one hand, she's a tomboy most at home wrangling horses and herding cattle who can't stand being in a dress. At the same time, however, she really wants to find a husband and have children. While I don't believe that it's impossible for those two desires to exist in the same person, I didn't feel that Robin Lee Hatcher did a great job of reconciling the two.
I think the thing that keeps Robin Lee Hatcher from being one of my favorite authors is the way that she glosses over what seem to me to be major parts of the story. This was especially true in Sherwood's case. Without giving too much away, supposedly he underwent a major transformation in the book, but we never really saw that happen. We just saw him one way, and then suddenly he was different. I felt the same way about the relationship between Cleo and Sherwood. Because of that, I still have a hard time really picturing them as a couple.
One advantage that "Fit to Be Tied" had over "A Vote of Confidence," however, was the narration. I think Kathy Garver had an easier time distinguishing between the male and female voices in this book without going too overboard. Some of the characters still had the creepy, vocal fry type voice from the first book, but at least she didn't have to do that with Sherwood, since she could set him apart with an English accent.
Overall, I thought "Fit to Be Tied" was a pleasant read to continue the series, but only because I was already acquainted with the characters and the town. If this had been the first book in the trilogy, I'm not sure that I would have continued with the rest of them.

I am sitting here with a smile and a Hugh sigh at the end of this delightful story!! I also wish I was younger and raised on a farm in the early 1900 and was a horse wrangler like the heroine!
This author just gets better and better if that is possible and the narrator did a fabulous job! Cannot wait to start the next book in this series!!
