Nora

By: C.J. Petit

Narrated by: Michael Alan White

Jake Fletcher thought he’d been blessed among all men when he stood at the aisle across from his bride. How such an ordinary man like himself had won her heart still astounded him. It wasn’t until a month later that he understood what had attracted her attention, and that discovery would drive him across the plains of Colorado and Kansas to find her. But not to bring her back to his ranch; he wanted her in the state prison for the rest of her life.

Nora by CJ Petit

I enjoyed the love story and, the freedom Jake gives his Nora to be a woman and a bad a$$. As always love the performance by Michael Alan White.

Good story

This author has some very good storylines but the story can get a little cheesy at time with all the I love yous and you are so perfect😂. They would be better if he would leave some of that stuff out and make it more realistic

Western romance

This is a general review of all C J Petit's books not of Nora in particular. First they are all romance novels set in the West after the Civil War. Being an insufferable romantic I find this appealing but others may not. The protagonists are all Dudley Dorights with empathy for women (being a prostitute is not your fault). They are all tall, great shots, educated by their mom, horses are their best friend, read a lot and are generally well off. They are also great lovers. This is the stock character and are interchangeable from one book to another. Every man or woman has blue, green or grey eyes with a few brown eyes thrown in for diversity. The theme of all the books is different and interesting...not your usual shoot 'em up at high noon, cattle rustling or range wars. I mean how many westerners are about a solar eclipse. Petit is big on going to the privy, period firearms and describing how a bullet goes through a body...strange. Nobody just gets shot. Michael Alan White is a great narrator. A clear voice, doesn't try to over dramatize action and is pitch perfect with the female voice. White and Petit are made for each other. Ok, Petit is not writing the great American novel, they're westerners after all but I check in with Audible every few weeks to see if a new Petit book is out. Sometimes I feel like I should be listening to something more enlightening but his books are addictive and I'm an addict.
