About the book:
Love and second
chances aren’t easy to come by in a town named Tombstone. When Christy Grey
receives an urgent summons to Tombstone, Arizona, she reluctantly leaves her
new life in California. The trip goes from bad to worse when four masked men
hold up Christy’s stage. She finally arrives in Tombstone to find her mother
ill and her brother trapped in a life of gambling. Desperate for money to
support her family, will Christy bow to pressure from the local saloon owners
and return to the life she thought she’d given up for good?
Nevada King has
problems of his own. He’s been dodging bullets for years and wants nothing more
than to settle down and get married. But he’s on the run from outlaws bent on
revenge, and the one woman who captures his interest recognizes him from the
stagecoach holdup. Will Christy turn Nevada in to the authorities, or will the
outlaws on his trail catch him first?
My review:
An absolutely
wonderful historical romance novel!
I loved both
Christy Grey and Nevada King. Miralee did an incredible job of developing and
presenting these great characters. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting them and slowly
learning about their personal backgrounds. It helped me see what shaped them
into the people they are at the time of this story.
The interest
between them started to build slowly which is what I like to see in a book. It
feels more natural to me that way. I was fascinated by the inclusion of some
characters that I have actually heard about in history and many other books and
movies set in the period and location.
One other thing
that I really enjoyed in this story was the focus on God’s redemption. Both
Christy and Nevada were encouraged to trust God by others in their lives.
Sorrel Brigman
did one of the best jobs of narrating that I have ever heard in an audio book.
The variety of voices that she used for the different characters kept the book
alive. I was totally entranced by her narration.
Wow! Thanks so much for your awesome review. I love Sorrel, as well. She was a perfect fit for my characters....didn't you just love how she did Nellie Cashman with the Irish lilt? I'm a huge audio fan, so this was very fun to see one of mine turned into audio.
