Resumen del Editor

Michigan Territory, 1814

A voyageur and a young woman swept up in a time of upheaval and danger discover firsthand the high price of freedom.

The British Army has taken control of Michilimackinac Island and its fort, forcing the Americans to swear an oath of loyalty to the crown in order to retain their land. Pierre Durant is a fur trader who returns after being away from the island for years, only to find the family farm a shambles and those he cares about starving and at the mercy of British invaders.

Torn between the adventurous life of fur trading and guilt over neglecting his defenseless mother, Pierre is drawn deeper into the fight against the British - and into a relationship with Angelique MacKenzie, a childhood friend who's grown into a beautiful woman. She now finds herself trapped by the circumstances of war and poverty and the cruelty of her guardian, Ebenezer Whiley.

As tensions mount and the violence rages on, Pierre and Angelique must decide where their loyalties rest and how much they'll risk for love.

A romantic love triangle with a surprise ending :-)

Judy Hedlund is an accomplished writer and does a wonderful job building the plot and re-searching her characters as well as the setting in which she writes her stories. The one thing I would caution readers is, she does go into great detail in regards to the intimacy and thought processes of two people in love even though, it’s a faith-based story. These books are meant for an older crowd nevertheless, she does a fantastic job, and Mary Sarah is a wonderful reader. If you can move past how clearly she articulates certain sounds, and how she reads her chapter headings, (a little dramatic for me :-)) She’s the best I’ve heard on Audible, thus far :-). And it makes it easy to choose which books I’m going to read when I see that Mary Sarah is the reader. Overall, this book was well done, well researched and well performed.!

This Author!!

I love this author! She has written some of the best and I mean best romance stories that I have ever read… There’s always something happening to keep your interest you get involved with the characters deeply where you feel with their feeling… What a fantastic writer!

Narrator 👎🏼

This narrator has an annoying whistle on S’s .
I am surprised I made it through!!! Ugh!!!

Fantastic story telling

The story was amazing, I loved it. The only thing I did like was the slowness of the narrator. I love her tone and tender reading, I just would like her to speed up a tad.
The characters are awesome and I feel I obtained a wonderful image of the island without being bored with graphic descriptions.
Wonderful.

Great series

This story took me through so many emotions. I was on the edge of my seat most of the time to see what would happen. Really enjoyed

Great Story

I love how Jody Hedlund can write an exciting story and still keep the romance front and center. Such a good story and the romance is so rich! Love the character and their love for each other! The narrator wasn’t my favorite. A little too dramatic.

Good storyline

I think the story probably was good but the narrative was definitely disappointing and hard to understand and follow

Boring

This was the most boring listen. I could not get into it. Maybe because it was too clean. I skipped so much, that it really didn’t matter. I still caught on to what was going on.

Story was inviting, but couldn’t get past the narrator

I would have liked to continue reading this book, but I was having a hard time with the voice of the narrator. She was too “dramatic” in her reading that I had a hard time following all her words. She did not read smoothly. She was loud and clear in some parts and soft and slow in others. I know it was part of her performance, but it was too much for my taste. I even tried slowing down the speed, but I only made it a little bit into chapter 2 before I had to quit.
