Silver-Tongued Devil

A Rough Riders Prequel Novel (Rough Riders)

By: Lorelei James

Narrated by: Samantha Leatherwood, Oliver Clarke

Their love story sparked a brushfire that grew into the legacy of Lorelei James' Rough Riders series. This stand-alone historical romance is a prequel to the McKay family saga.

The West doesn't get much wilder than Silas McKay. He's earned his cowboy reputation not just as a rancher, but as a brawling card sharp who's short on cash but long on charm. And just as soon as he claps eyes on the pretty new schoolteacher? Well, Dinah Thompson is about to discover what courting's like McKay-style - sweet, hot, and passionate.

Luckily, Dinah's got the sass and sense to stand up to Silas' shenanigans. She relocated to rural Wyoming to teach and become a self-reliant woman, not to spend her nights dreaming about that blue-eyed rogue and his ranch-work-honed body. But Silas McKay's powerful appeal and tempting promises convince Dinah to recklessly go all in with him.

When Silas' long-standing rivalry with Zeke West puts Dinah, Silas, and his twin brother, Jonas, in danger, each one is forced to make difficult decisions about taking a chance to build their legacy...and a love that transcends time.

She’s still got it!!

Loved this book!! Loved hearing the back story of the West & McKay Families. Thank you Lorelei James.

Loved seeing the beginning of the McKay clan!

It was a great read and nice to see more McKay twins. I did shed a few tears at the end because I wished the brothers could hear about each other.

Not crazy about the narration

I enjoyed this story, but the female narrator is kinda hard to listen to. This would have been a much more enjoyable read if they would have had her doing the female voices, and Oliver doing the male voices. Her male voices were not sexy at all, like the males in this author’s books have been known to be. She made them sound like toothless old men!!! Not sexy young cowboys, looking to charm and seduce their women!! Her voice in general is hard to get used to, but once you do, it’s not bad. If this had been performed either by another female or as an interactive story, it would have been great!!

Exceptional Characters & Great Romance

Exceptional character development of the twins, Dinah & Ruby, and even the treacherous railroad man. Narrators did a great job of storytelling. The storyline weaved the culture of the town & ranching in Wyoming history into a captivating romance.Twin brothers who deeply loved Dinah & Ruby their first loves. A treacherous railroad man tore apart Silas & Dinah relationship because of jealousy. This tragedy set them each on a different journey as Silas took Jonas’ identity. It forced Jonah assumed the identity of the railroad man’s killer. Jonah ,now Mac, is found by his Ruby in Montana. Tragedy separated the brothers but the love their woman brought wholeness to their new lives.

All tied up

This was a perfect ending to the Roughrider series. To see how it all began. Another five star read my Laura lie James.
