Publisher's summary

Julie Garwood's best-selling novels of the beloved Clayborne family began with this critically acclaimed masterpiece.

The Clayborne brothers were a rough gang of street urchins - until they found an abandoned baby girl in a New York City alley, named her Mary Rose, and headed to Blue Belle, Montana, to raise her to be a lady. They became a family - held together by loyalty and love, if not blood - when suddenly a stranger threatened to tear them apart.

Lord Harrison Stanford MacDonald brandished a six-shooter and a swagger, but he soon proved to be a gentleman to the core. The brothers taught him frontier survival, while Mary Rose touched his heart with a deep and desperate passion. But soon, a shattering secret would challenge everything Mary Rose believed about herself, her life, and her newfound love.

Great story but disappointed

I loved the story. It is sweet and well written. Unfortunately there was very explicit sex. I hate it when an excellent story with wonderful characters has these scenes. I’d rather leave those things to the imagination and just enjoy the story.

Excellent story - terrible narration

The story is wonderful! The narration was not! The women did not sound like women. The accents were all over the place and not consistent. Especially the Scottish one. At times it was Scottish, other times it was French, German, NY Bronyx, Spanish, and a few others that I was not sure about. The narrator's voice was pleasant, he just wasn't good at doing different characters.

One of my favorite authors!

Love the way she writes and tells her story’s. She is not redundant and rereading is just as fresh as the first time!

Love this book.... This was my second time

This was my first book on tape and now I listen to at least one book a month. It's a great way to occupy the mind while doing mindless chores or out on a walk.

Excellent, Julie does it again!

This one made me laugh out loud more than once. Such an enjoyable listen. I have the others in my library ready to start listening, can’t wait to get another one started.
