About this listen
Love, betrayal, gunfights, and stolen kisses highlight this classic novel of a German threat to America's beef herds during WWII, by the woman who pioneered the romantic Westerns!
Dolores Rey was the pampered daughter of the lush Southern California orchards, where the noise and battle of WWII seemed so far way, and had been raised in luxury and affianced to a man of her own kind, in whose veins flowed the blood of his titled ancestors.
Roy Pelgren had had his heart broken twice. The first time when color blindness barred him from his dream of joining the air force and battling Germany in the skies. The second time when his fiancée, a woman of the West he had grown up with and whose love he had believed unshakable, eloped with a lieutenant, resplendent in uniform.
But Roy never dreamed that the Nazi menace might come to battle him face-to-face on his isolated ranch in the badlands of Wyoming, or what that meeting would portend for the United States that he loved.
Together and separately, Dolores and Roy would be targeted for death, capture, torture, and worse. For, saboteurs were at work, and the man directing them aimed not only to destroy the great cattle herds on which America's civilians and troops depended for meat, but their own love for each other. To survive, they would need all the courage and vision that had helped their forebearers create the West itself.

3.5 STARS
This novel is set in the west supposed to be WWII era, but a lot of language seems to be from a more distant past. It took me a while to try to understand the storyline and some of the accents were hard to understand.
I’m sure others will find this more enjoyable. I listened a 2nd time to try and be fair. The second was a little easier to figure out.
The narration was well done, by Darcie Kelly. Lots of characters, different voices.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
