About this listen
Jodi Thomas’ lush prose and compelling characters set her apart as a writer of immense appeal. The Lone Texan features Sage McMurray, a recent widow whose life is about to take another unexpected turn. One would think that the loss of a husband was plenty for anyone to deal with, but then Sage is taken hostage in a robbery and auctioned off to the highest bidder. The bidder in question, however, has more than a few surprises in store.

Not a strong narrator, but more than passable
Where does The Lone Texan rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I like the series. Hard to find historical westerns.
Have you listened to any of Linda Stevens’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I like her fine. She's not Anna Fields, but then, who is?

Story really good, narrator sounded too old.
I love a steamy, romantic historical western and they are difficult to find. In this novel Drum and Sage don't just have sex but instead make passionate love. Furthermore, Drum was not the knuckle-dragging, reeking of an overabundance of testosterone "alpha" man I read about (and repulsed by) in so many stories these days. He is instead strong enough to be vulnerable; devoted to the woman he loves. In addition, Sage is not TSTL doormat leaving all the "saving" and important decisions to Drum. This tale was perfect for me...
...except the narrator. She was not untalented but her voice was too old for the characters she played. However, I liked the publication so much that I could overlook that her voice was miscast. In conclusion, I look forward to more of this author's works in the future.

A perfect blend of it all...
The Lone Texan has character development driven by a well crafted plot. The romance level is perfect and not unrealistic. Neither people in 1860 Texas, nor much less today, have time to have sex all day long. When it happens it should be long, slow and well developed. That's how a romance author should write it as well. Jodi Thomas does exactly that. It's not about a constant crashing climax, but a well built campsite with thought toward provisions and the following day. The fire is sustained.

Another great whispering mountain story
Drummond and Sage, it’s about time😁. I loved it. She was her normal self and tried to talk herself out of loving Drum. He was a patient man. The plot was awesome. I enjoyed Sage in the outlaw camp. She used her head. Drum is a McMurray in his actions. The gravely voice of the narrator was like coming home.

Another Great Story
The fourth book in the Whispering Mountain series. I like this one is about newly widowed Sage McMurray. Sage is all grown up and coming back home to Whispering Mountain, going to be open her new doctor practice in the town. This is until she encounters some outlaws in Galveston on her way home. Now she does not know if she will ever get to she her beloved Whispering Mountain again.
The book is well written, I like this one the most out of the four books in this series that I have lessened too. Then main reason for this is because unlike the other three book before this one the main two characters in it have been in all the books before this one. You have gotten to know them already and there back stories. So now you get to see how they come together to get back to where they both belong.
The narrator for this book is different then the rest of the books but she does a great job with the book. The voices of the character might have changed but it does nothing to take away from the story.
