Her Rocky Trail

A Western Historical Romance Book

By: Florence Linnington

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A life of practicality and security.

That is all Philadelphia maid Kitty Byrum and western lawman Cyrus Ross both look for. With that in mind, a mail-order bride marriage fits the bill perfectly. Cyrus will provide a home for Kitty and her younger sister Helen, and, in return, Kitty will perform all expected wifely duties.

They see their marriage as a contract – love not being a requirement.

They are not looking for a fairy tale love life. But even then, life does not always unfold according to one’s simple wishes…

As the train the Byrum sisters travel westward on comes to a screeching halt, though, and Helen is kidnapped by bandits, the stability Cyrus and Kitty search for is nowhere to be found. Instead, they must gather their wits and courage and voyage into the Rocky Mountains on a quest to bring Helen home. It is a trial for Kitty and Cyrus as they discover parts of themselves they never knew existed – and a love they never believed they needed.

But they are on a dangerous trail. The bandits are a menacing lot. But the true danger is what they can’t see nor understand… Will Kitty’s sister stay alive?

How can Kitty and Cyrus navigate through the lurking dangers?

Note: Each book in the Seeing Ranch series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.

AI

I do not care for the AI reading. Words are not pronounced properly and expressions not spoken right. There are times when a sentence has ended in the middle of a sentence and it doesn’t sound right. One to go back to hear what it should be and how it should be said, losing the joy of listening.
Overall, I enjoy the stories, the clean language, old fashioned courtesy, and morals. Each one has touched on one of today’s unfortunate experiences: human trafficking in this story. I do appreciate that it makes one think of how distorted this world really is still, how we can help to prevent it, and work toward justice. Sadly, until we get to heaven, it won’t change. I especially enjoy the reads on my long trips. Thank you.

Good kidnapping!

I liked the details, Kitty's determination, slow romance build and plot twist! Very satisfying ending, though it slowed down at the end. It was narrated by AI so... expect the mismatched tone and mispronounced words.
