Publisher's summary

A Plain and Simple Heart, an exciting new Amish-meets-Wild West adventure from best-selling authors Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith, weaves an entertaining and romantic tale for devoted fans and new listeners.

1884. Several years earlier, young Rebecca Switzer lost her heart to Jesse Montgomery, a rugged but dissolute cowboy on a dusty cattle trail near the Amish settlement of Apple Grove. Now, she is grown up, and when she hears one day that he has been spotted nearby, her desire is plain and simple: She must see him.

Sheriff Colin Maddox is counting the days until he can leave law enforcement and follow his dream of starting a church. When a lovely woman, new to town and looking travel weary and a bit lost, gets caught up in the middle of a temperance riot, she is arrested along with the leaders. He can hardly believe she is what she claims - a plain and simple woman. Nor can he believe how quickly he loses his heart to her. Can Colin convince her to forget Jesse and give him a chance?

A Plain and Simple Heart

A sweet historical romance. Rebecca goes off to find her one true love, and finds more than she ever could have expected.

I found that the narration was ok. I wasn’t a fan of the voice used for the grandmother, but I liked the rest.

This historical, western, fiction set in 1880's Kansas has Rebecca Switzer going in search for the man she thinks she loves. She gets mixed up with the Christian Womens Temperance movement. Her interactions with the people of Lawrence is humorous at times, action packed and with three men who may be interested in her romantically, the listener stays on the edge of their seat waiting to see which one will be the lucky one.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Cecily White does a fine job.

Life's unplanned twists!

This is the first Amish series I have read or listened to and I was pleasantly surprised. After listening to book 1 in the series I was glad to listen to book 2 soon after. Rebecca is ready to grow up and has an idea in her head about how everything should work out. She hasn't seen Jesse in many years, but Rebecca is sure that he loves her and will agree to become Amish and marry her. So she sets off to find him. Except that along the way her plans go astray and instead of going according to her plans, life takes a few twists and turns.
Excellent narration by Cecily White makes the story come to life. She did the many character voices very well.
Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Enjoyable

Rebecca felt her first love for Jesse was it, when she finally heard he was near, she had to see him. What follows when a Plain and simple girl gets mixed in with a temperance moment. Will bring laughs to the reader.
Given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion. The narration by Cecilia White was enjoyable.

Cute Story!

I enjoyed this and now feel I should listen to book one. I'm not saying you have to listen to book one to enjoy this one but that I liked it so much I want to see what I missed in the first book! The characters are interesting, the story was fun and the narration wasn't too bad either. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
