Publisher's summary

Lois Weaver has been schooled to be polite, ladylike, and honest, to clean, cook, and sew, so at the proper age she would marry.

As an adult, she surpassed her father’s expectations with her skills and beauty only to shatter them when she opens a dress shop. She risked everything to open a dress shop. Now the handsome bank owner has come calling. So why isn’t she happy? And why can’t she forget about a certain farmer with big brown eyes?

Daniel Lawrence, former Texas Ranger, gained immense satisfaction when he purchased his farm and livestock. His new way of life is not only a means to make a living, but adds a sense of fulfillment. The only thing lacking is a wife and family. He is just shy of proposing when a family tragedy forces him to open his home to his grieving sister and her niece. How could he bring a new wife home to this?

Lois is heartbroken because Daniel is ignoring her. Can she go against the 19th-century rules of how a woman should behave and have the courage to tell Daniel how she feels?

Combining history, humor, and romance with an emphasis on faith, friends, and good clean fun, fans of historical romance set in the late 19th century will enjoy Lois’s Risk, a delightful tale of courage that reminds us how God uses adversity to strengthen us and draw us closer to him.

Christian Historical Romance

This book truly came alive with narration! I read it last year, but enjoyed it even more as an audiobook! Scott has perfected the art of timing! His pauses in appropriate times and the slower country cadence truly improved this book for me!

Love Wins!

Love Wins!
What does one do when suddenly one's beau cuts off all ties?
Well, Lois carried on with her life and her successful dress shop even though she still pined for Daniel, a farmer and former Texas Ranger.
This is a nicely written story with two very sweet, hardworking characters who really should be together.
The narrator is J. Scott Bennett and I could listen to him any time. He has such a versatile voice, wonderful character acting and brings his
audios to life.
A good combination of story and audio which kept me happily entertained.
I listened to the audiobook and my voluntary and unbiased review is recorded above.

Sweet

This is one sweet novella! The storyline is one that's very easy to connect to. I loved the message of faith and determination and abiding love.

Lois was tender hearted and unsure of her fellow's feelings, while he was sure that after the passage of time, she was set to marry another. With the helpfulness of friends, they attain their happily ever after and that's certainly something to smile about.

Lois's risk

This book has a lot of adventure in it. Lois's has achieved a lot but she tries to to impress her father. Daniel is a very caring person he is a farmer also a hard worker. They are good together. Part of the book Daniel is off trying to stop a train robbery which added a lot of excitement. This was a very entertaining book . Scott Bennett did an excellent job narraiting this book. I was given a copy of this book but that had no influence on my review. If my review was any help will you please click the helpful link. Thank you

Fantastic!

What a sweet love story! I sure enjoyed listening to the American Etiquette Rules of Politeness that were in the tale. J. Scott Bennett brings such joy to my ears with his narration of it. His voice always puts a smile on my face.

Love Lois!

Kimberly Grist writes the best historical romances! This one features Lois, and she is a spitfire.Lois owns her own business, much to her father's dismay, but she is successful. She is in love with Daniel, a former Texas Ranger, but circumstances ended their relationship. When the local banker offers to court her, she accepts, but her heart is still elsewhere. Daniel had some tough family times, but now seeing Lois out and about, he begins to rethink his position. What he doesn't know is Lois has already taken some initiative to rekindle the flames. I love this! The characters are smart and real, the story is action packed and has some added suspense. It may be short, but it's a wonderful listen to sit back, relax and enjoy.

J Scott Bennett brings this story to life with his wonderful voice. He is like coming home! He enhances each story I hear him narrate and this one is no exception. With voices that fit the characters and inflections to reflect the mood, the performance flows and is pure entertainment.

Taking a Chance

Gentle, sweet, Christian romance about a woman who has made choices and learned to compromise, but also learned to follow her heart. I always enjoy listening to a J Scott Bennett narrated story, and this was a charming tale.
