Texas Princess

A Whispering Mountain Novel

By: Jodi Thomas

Narrated by: Linda Stephens

RITA Award winner Jodi Thomas continues her Whispering Mountain series with this second installment. Horse breeder Tobin McMurray doesn’t venture too far from his homestead. But when a Texas senator offers Tobin handsome compensation to deliver a horse to his daughter and teach her how to ride, he grudgingly agrees. Soon Tobin finds himself falling in love with the beautiful woman—but their budding romance is headed straight for danger.

Thoroughly enjoyable

A great listen, albeit not as strong in 'stand alone' character and plot development as the first two in the series. I listened to it as a much anticipated sequal to the first two books and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rolling my eyes…

Everything about this book works or should have worked(great world building, great plot, interesting enough characters) but a couple things, She was too stupid to live!
I also like to be convinced that the MCs are equally invested in each other. I wasn’t convinced of Libby’s affection at any point. A good compromise is meeting each other halfway. Libby kept wanting her way or the Highway from start to end


*spoilers*




When he finally found her I wanted to smack them for wasting time kissing and talking when the military was just close by 🙄
And when she got mad at him for not promising to never die 🙄🙄 like he can control his life
Her ask at the end was soo selfish too 🙄🙄🙄
He also waited too long to tell her how he truly felt about her
When she went back with her dad she didn’t even think about him meanwhile Tobin was sleeping outside in despair 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Finally her reaction when he finally comes just falls flat
This could have easily been a desert island keeper

Good story

I do not like the reader. It makes the book sound overly elderly. Needs more energy

Excellent Plot and Well Written

Would you consider the audio edition of Texas Princess to be better than the print version?

The audio version is only better because my eyes get so tired and I can not read as much as I once did. I can also listen and drive.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jodi Thomas has a way of introducing her secondary characters in one novel and hooking you into the next.

Have you listened to any of Linda Stephens’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Tobin McMurray

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Tobin McMurray walks off the page and goes straight to your heart. The love of a quiet, strong man like can teach even a Princess like Liberty Mayfield how to be strong and safe. Passion and steadfast love are extras in this Whispering Mountain book by an author who knows how to write passion not pornography.

Any additional comments?

Jodi Thomas always delivers on an intriguing plot, rich with history and spunky heroines like Liberty in the Texas Princess. However it's the hero in her books that make the difference. Tobin McMurray's quite strength captures the reader.

McMurray legend

Would you consider the audio edition of Texas Princess to be better than the print version?

Maybe not better but different. I like to listen at bedtime because it takes me to another world and relaxes me. That's why I only read / listen to romances!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Texas Princess?

Tobin's change of heart and the dream of his destiny

What does Linda Stephens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
