I really like this story.

I was pleasantly surprised to like this story. There was a bit of mystery and a bit of romance. The heroine wasn’t stupid nor was she overly independent. It was a light listen and I enjoyed that a lot.

A Kept Secret..

The story line centers around the female lead, Leigh, and the male lead, Cyrus.

Cyrus needs a lot of help ranching and Leigh is the one to help because she is a widow who love ranching.

Overall, a Good Read that covered everything from ranching, family, friends, Native Americans, and a Mystery.

Jay R. Smith did well with the narration.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The fact that I was gifted this book had no influence over my opinion of it

First read it, then listened to it

I am in love. Yep. It's true. I have fallen in love with this book, the characters, the town, and this author.

I started reading this book and I was so tired, I must have fallen asleep and when I did, my kindle fell right into my face. That's ok though. I took it to my place of employment the next day and sneaked to read it every chance I got.
The characters are wonderful. They are complex and you can relate to them. I liked the plot and its flow. I liked the mystery and intrigue of it. (It could have been stretched out a bit more, but hey, it was fantastic anyway).
I love that this is first in a series. That means there are lots more stories, mysteries and adventures!
Ms. Deeter, keep writing
UPDATE: I listened to this on audio. I didn't think it could be better, HOWEVER it was! The narrator was amazing!!!! He brought to life all the characters in the books. The inflections in his voice made it! Awesome! Please keep this narrator.

Loved the narrator!

Great story - loved the heroine and supporting characters. The back story was unusual and paradoxically quite believable. But it’s the narrator that brought it all to life. I’m looking forward to the next installment!
