Slow story. Put me to sleep several times. Played it to the end but it never got better.

I had some trouble getting into the story. But it’s still a great book. The narrator, Barbara, was incredible! However, when Barbara is doing the bird calls and songs, it’s amazing!

A little slow, but still good

I love the story line. It bogs down a little with the save the birds crusade... i would love for there to be a book 2 to find out what happened to his brother and maybe Bettina

Is there going to be a book 2

Any additional comments?

I love birds - have a bird garden of my own, in fact - but as disgusting as the bird parts fashion trend was, Billie's bird obsession was over the top and frequently tedious. I did mostly enjoy the development of the hero & heroine, as well as their relationship, but it took some patience. The history in Gist's books is always interesting and the romance is technically clean but does get a bit racy. I enjoyed the way the story wrapped up, at least, & it helped soothe the bumps endured to get there.

I gave it a 4, but it's probably closer to a 3&1/2.

Premise was great but the story was a mixed bag

I read this book a few years ago and enjoyed listening to it again. I can't say what my favorite parts are because they are all spoilers.
I loved the undercover Texas Ranger and how he fell for the "Hello girl" Georgie. She is a great bird lover and a distraction for Luke. I really liked her personality.

The narrator was okay. There were times that I had to pay extra attention to hear if it was a male or female character, or a child. I did get used to it though.

Historical Romantic Western

Nice little story with few surprises. Narrator did well.
I would recommend if you want a simple little story.

Nice story

Easy listen. Gentle story and romance. A Hallmark movie book. Entertaining, humorous with just enough of reality to keep it real.

super sweet

Deeanne Gist once again delivers a stellar novel full of twists, turns, quirky lovable characters and lots of heart-pumping romance. She also pours a ton of history into her books without overwhelming the reader. The "ew" factor is the birds. Lots of birds. Especially on millinery. When I was a child I read a number of books (mostly creepy ones) where bird parts were used on clothing but I'd not remembered this being a fashion in the early 20th century. She really brings to life the turn of the century west, with this small town in Texas seeming much like what one might find in rural Michigan at the time. Except for the train and robbers. And a lawman hero who takes to hiding out as a telephone line repairman. Great story arc for both hero and heroine. He's pretty much a jerk at the beginning of the story but evolves as does the heroine. I figured out who the outlaw was but the layers to the story that Gist added to the ending really made it satisfying. You know this man must be caught and brought to justice. No matter what. Great narrator and an all-around great story from Deeanne Gist. The spiritual arc is not there but I believe she has moved over to the ABA market now.
