Will she remember?

When Angela arrives in town, pregnant and no recollection of who she is, Ost takes her in and has that feeling that she is the one. But with her past unknown, and a possible husband coming to find her, things move slow. The question is, why can't she remember? Vivi Holt once again has woven a beautiful story to get lost in as the 5th and final book of the Paradise Valley. Ost is a wonderful character. He is loving, attentive and protective. Angela is vulnerable and brave. They have a great chemistry and I love how Angela blooms under the people of Paradise Valley. The story also includes some issues of the times, taking on the women's right to vote as well as the search for cattle rustlers. There is also the threat of Sarah's past coming to harm her family and gives us that peek into Cutter's Creek! It's a fun and heartwarming story and a wonderful way to end the series.

Amanda Stribling has this historical western romance genre mastered and she gives an amazing performance. I love the twang she gives the men, the gruffness to the evil rustlers and both strength and innocence to the women. She nails the story and I could not have enjoyed her portrayal more.

Excellent book

This was a wonderful story! The audible speaker had a lovely voice and kept my attention. Vivi Holt made the story so realistic that I felt like I was right there with the characters! I can’t imagine not remembering who I was but the way her new friends came together to help a total stranger was beautiful! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a change from your normal love stories.

Good story

Enjoyed the story. Narrator is good. Has a good, clear voice. Also a happy ending.

Lost Memory...

Hanks the sheriff, finds a woman hiding while searching for cattle rustlers. She's alone, pregnant, and oh yeah also has amnesia. Hank takes her to Paradise Ranch for help watching after her. Hank finds himself falling for the beautiful and confused woman in their care, but can anything come from it or is he setting himself up for heartbreak? It's a wonderful clean historical/western romance and is very well written. The narration was fantastic. This is a story I will listen to again.

Good story!

This one had a lot of action and emotions! The narrator did a good job. She was very good with each characters.

The Journey Continues

I am so sad this is the last of the Paradise Valley series. I have enjoyed each one tremendously and so wish I could visit!( yes I know it is fictional but what a great place and people! Then can run over to Cutter's Creek!) Vivi Holt has brought this place alive with her insightful descriptions and dialogue, it has felt like a real place.
This is Hank, or Oster, as he is called a lot and Angela's story. Hank is now a deputy sheriff in Bozeman and after a vicious gang of cattle rustlers. When he is on the trail, he finds an old cabin, thinking abandoned, but finds a young woman, large with child, alone and not knowing who she is due to a bad bump on the head.
It takes a winding journey and deciphering clues plus a growing love that cannot be denied. What is amazing is the visit with other's on the ranch and resolving another story, all that tug at the heartstrings as you listen to the wonderful narration of Amanda Stribling as she brings the words of Vivi alive...

Loss of Memory

Hank is the new deputy sheriff. He is after a ganh of rustlers. He is out looking for them and the night turns stormy. He is looking for a place to find shelter. He spots an old cabin and heads there for shelter.

He found her in the abandoned cabin and she does no know who she is or where she is. When Hank mentions finding her family she becomes scared and agitated. She keeps saying someone is after her but she does not know who.
When he takes her to Paradise Ranch for them to look after her they find out her name is Angela Wilcocks. But what happened to her parent?

I recommend this book. It has a lot of things going on in the story and you will not want to put it down. It is well written and the narration is very good.

Dangerous

An emotional story of the dangers in the wild west, a damaged woman and the man who saves her. I received a complimentary audio and this review is voluntary.

Sweet Western Historical Romance!

This is the fifth and last book in the Paradise Valley Series, a clean Historical Western Romance. I love Vivi Holt writing. Hank and Angela's story is beautiful, and heartwarming. Hank (Ost) is a handsome man, loving, caring and protective. Angela (Sarah) is a lovely strong and courageous woman. I love the ending. Amanda Stribling did a great job with the narration.
