Dare to Cross the Water

Railway Romance, Book 1

By: Lorri Moulton

Narrated by: Siobhan Waring

Katherine Rogers has everything a young woman could hope for in 1849 Scotland...except the freedom to make her own choices. The last thing she wants to do is to get married, and then, she meets James Spenser. Can there be any future together for the outspoken daughter of a railway owner and the charming young man working on the project?

This is the first book in the Railway Romance series. These books show how trains and the building of the railway tracks brought people together. Often people, who would never have met any other way...and the romances that crossed economic, class, and even cultural lines. If you ever have the chance, ride a train. Especially with someone you love.

Android listening to this historical romance

I always enjoy fiction that has an historical basis and this audio book was no exception . The characters were strong. The romance storyline was sweet. And the narrator had a sweet voice that told this story well. This story starts out in Scotland and ends up in America. The narrator did a great job switching between the dialects. My only criticism of the story was that there is a major turning point in it that is sort of hidden in chapter 23. I thought that this episode deserved a chapter of its own and needed to be fleshed out.

Sweet and uncomplicated

Dare To Cross The Water by Lorri Moulton is a clear and uncomplicated romantic novella. It takes place in Scotland in the mid 19th century as they are building a ferry train.

Short story short, worker falls in love with bosses daughter and she reciprocates. The characters are sweet and very likable, there's a little drama but it's so tame it doesn't raise your blood pressure. I will say that for a novella there's a A LOT of dialogue, too much in my estimation. And the use of "aye" was excessive. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it.

The narrator was Siobhan Waring and she did a good job overall.
