A Place to Land

By: Mary Vine

Narrated by: Mercedes Michelle

She isn't afraid of the big, bad wolf.

But he's a little concerned about her.

When Uli's impoverished family left Russia for America, she was only 10 years old. From that point on, she's been determined to make the American dream hers. When Headline Magazine offers the perfect story with which to launch her new writing career, Uli travels across Oregon to find out exactly how wolf and cowboy mix. As she finds her spirit guide in the wolf and her soul mate in the cattle rancher, a mysterious danger seems bent on finding her.

Movie-star handsome, Jackson Holt owns one of the largest ranches in eastern Oregon and, like most ranchers, is none too happy with wolves crossing over the Idaho border near his livestock. The last thing he needs is a semi-environmentalist, journalist wannabe dogging his footsteps. Sure, Uli may be bright and sexy, but her need to prove herself and help her family threaten to lead her into the kind of harm he can't protect her from - when all he wants to give her is...a place to land.

A good romantic story

The story has a nice flow of two main characters slowly building their friendship and love. I liked the mix of having a naive Russian woman come to know the life of a Ranch Cowboy. The narration is superb; creating a strong visual picture of all the characters in the story. The narration separates the dialogues of western drawls to Russian accents. Well done!
