Shane's Burden

Burnt River Contemporary Western Romance, Book 1

By: Peggy L. Henderson, Burnt River

Narrated by: Cody Roberts

After a decade-long absence, Allison Cramer returns to her childhood home to pay tribute to a former teacher. Years of excelling in all of her classes, and pursuing a doctorate at MIT should give her an abundance of confidence and pride. When she realizes that the insecure, 16-year-old bookworm she's tried to bury is still only skin-deep, she must take a hard look at herself. Coming back may open her eyes to what her heart has always wanted.

Shane Taggart has seen more tragedy before his 21st birthday than most people experience in a lifetime. Taking the responsibility of the world on his shoulders has become a way of life. There is no room for fun and socializing, until his head is turned by a vague high school memory with blonde hair and a pile of books.

Letting go of the past while being immersed in it may be the only way Alley and Shane can move forward. Leaving behind the childhood images of who they were, they discover that seeking individual dreams can be attained through the strength found in each other, and that love may be the greatest influence of all.

Delightful story. The story starts with two teens in high school. One a jock, the other a nerd. The story unfolds as the two realize that they have feelings for each other when they meet 10 years after they graduate. A wonderful, happy ending.

Another Winning Combination

The well written story of former nerd Ally and former high school heart throb Shane unfolded perfectly through the voice of Cody Roberts. I have thoroughly enjoyed this combination from the first book I ever heard on Audible, and look forward to many more from this combination.

Wonderful Story

I loved this book. The author, Peggy L. Henderson brings up those insecurities most of us face sometime in our lives and I was drawn into the story. As always, Cody Roberts narrates this story with the true talent he has with his wonderful voice. I'm so glad this is book one as I'm looking forward to more of Peggy & Cody's books.

Peggy L Henderson has done it again

Once again Peggy L Henderson has done it. A romance with humor and heart. Shane is a man that holds the responsibility of the world on his shoulders and Allison is the nerdy science geek that has finally found her gumption.

They bring out the best in each other. I can't wait for the rest of the books in this series.
