A Trail so Lonesome

Wagon Train Matches, Book 1

Spending five months eating trail dust wasn't Leo Spencer's first choice. Or his second. He's not one to run away, but some situations can't be fixed and his family—two brothers and a sister—needs to start over. Which is how he finds himself on a westbound wagon train.

Evangeline has a secret, one that has sent her on a journey across the plains on the Oregon Trail. When her father is badly hurt and she needs help, Leo is there. A deal is struck, and the two unlikely friends form an alliance . . . that leads to more.

But Evangeline's secret looms over her . . . and Leo's family troubles are far from over.

OMG I love this book like the best book in the world. Lacy Williams is a great author.

the audiobook reader sounds perpetually dramatic for Evangeline. I don't know if that was a producer choice, but it made Evangeline sound like she was constantly fanning herself in shock as she retold a story about someone seeing her friend's ankles.

Couldn’t make it past the “drama”.

I tried, I wanted to pick up a new book and it had hopes. The voiceover actress gave every word drama or panic. I don’t know if that was intentional or not, but not everything is a “grasp the pearls” moment…it was every word drama. I’ll rent the book without audio.
