McKettrick's Choice

By: Linda Lael Miller

Narrated by: Patricia Floyd

Learning that his former Ranger partner Gabe Navarro is on the way to the gallows on trumped-up charges and that his foster father, buffalo soldier John Cavanagh, is about to lose his land, Holt McKettrick ditches his mail-order bride at their Arizona Territories altar and rides off to Texas. In San Antonio, he meets a lively lady named Lorelei Fellows, who has just called off her own wedding and burned her bridal gown in the center of town. Thrown out of her father's house, she's hoping to pick up some cattle and start a small ranch of her own. Holt thinks she's out of her mind, but he revises his opinion after watching Lorelei learn to ride a mule named Seesaw, play a cutthroat game of poker, and all in all start to look mighty delectable. Cavanagh's land will be fine and Navarro won't hang - but is Lorelei out of the frying pan into the fire? Her father dies vastly indebted to the landowner who had framed Navarro.©2003 Sheila Williams (P)2003 Recorded Books, LLC

Critic reviews

"A well-written tale." ( Booklist)

Love this story

Would you consider the audio edition of McKettrick's Choice to be better than the print version?

Yes because I can enjoy listening on my long commute in the truck to and from work (typically 1.5 hours each way).

What did you like best about this story?

The narrator made Holt sound whimpy versus a tough Texas ranger. Would have preferred Jack Garrett who had narrated the previous three books in the series.

What aspect of Patricia Floyd’s performance would you have changed?

She can't do men's voices

good story, but...

I love this series! I really enjoyed how this story went. Nice action, terrible sorrow as well.

The narrator was the worst I've ever heard! She sounded like she was talking while holding something between her teeth half the time. The rest of the time was horrible as well, she just can not read for an audience!

Narrating

I wasn’t sure when you changed narrator on the 4th book ... but I think Patricia did a great job... enjoyed the book and and the series

Great book

I would have to say one of the best books yet in the series. But they all are good.

I missed Jake Garrett voice

I missed Jake Garrett as the voices of the McKettrick's. The narrator does a wonderful job for the women, wish they could have voice the book together.
