Mystic Montana Sky

Montana Sky, Book 6

De: Debra Holland

Narrado por: Natalie Ross

A caravan driven at breakneck speed through the hills of Montana is the least of Magdalena Baxter's concerns. Evicted from their home, and due to soon give birth, the Gypsy woman is forced to follow her husband, Oswald, a drunk and abusive miner who hopes to find work in a neighboring town.

Despite calling Sweetwater Springs home, wealthy banker Caleb Livingston clings to his elitist East Coast ways. While this may have brought him prestige, he's missed out on romance at every turn.

When Caleb's buggy collides with the Baxters' caravan, Oswald is instantly killed and Maggie goes into labor. Caleb manages to keep his guilt and terror at bay long enough to make her comfortable and deliver her baby, a harrowing and ultimately endearing experience. Can Maggie - now stranded with her newborn child - learn to trust again? Will Caleb overcome his sense of obligation and highbrow conceit to open his heart to lasting love?

Love it!

I love this series and this installment does not disappoint! Ms Holland dies an excellent job with the touching stories of love that overcome prejudice and insecurities.

Banker Livingston Redeemed

What did you love best about Mystic Montana Sky?

This has got to be one of my favorite of the series. There was the obvious desire and search for companionship by the snobbish banker seen in each of the previous books. Each failure seemed to dismantle the superior attitude he held so tightly. Seeing him fall in love and shed the façade altogether was the best part of the book.

What did you like best about this story?

Love conquers all.

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

Natalie Ross has a clear voice and all voices were very distinctive and recognizable.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

If I had to pick one specific moment that moved me most, I guess it was when it became clear not just to the reader but to the banker that he had fallen in love regardless of the differences in their stations in life.

Sweet series!

Enjoyed these stories. Engaging, historical stories that keep you interested with sweet and funny characters. A bit tame for my tastes but still very enjoyable!

Lovely story

These stories are sweet and wholesome. Sometimes you need a little old fashioned romance in you life. It's a nice break from the complications of other stories.

fantastic

Fantastic read and audio performance. Worth the time. It is a stand alone story, but better if you have read or heard the rest of the set.

I always love to go back to Sweetwater Springs.

I always love to go back to Sweetwater Springs and it was good to see Caleb get his HEA. Caleb is on his way to Morgan's Crossing for his usual meeting. He was driving a bit too fast over a hill and a large caravan is driving at breakneck speed coming from the other way. The caravan is run off the road and when Caleb gets to them, a pregnant woman is slightly injured and her husband dead. Maggie goes into labor early out in the middle of no where with only Caleb to help her. As Caleb and Maggie get to know each other better, Caleb realizes that he doesn't want to be alone any more and that he is truly smitten with the little girl that he helped bring into the world. Little Charlotte works some magic on Caleb and his family. Will Maggie remarry? Can Caleb keep her?

Loved the story, narrator not so much

I liked the story. Debra Holland always comes up with great stories however I was NOT impressed with the narrator. She was too breathy, whispery. She should have just kept the same voice regardless of whether it was male or female since her male voice was not very good and her constant forced laugh was SOOOOO irritating I almost stopped listening after the 20th time. But I'm the kind of person who has to finish a story so I listened to the whole thing. If the author says a character "laughs" just say "Maggie laughed" and do not try laugh in place of reading the line. It was forced, terrible and incredibly irritating. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Kept my interest

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and the development of all the characters. I love how the author worked previous characters back into this story to let you know what is going on in their lives. I loved the voice of the narrator although I had difficulty getting used to the strong accents that she chose for both of the main characters. Since Caleb was in previous books without a British accent , it was hard to get used to him suddenly having a very strong British accent in this book. I think the narrator was trying to portray a Bostonian accent. Maggie has not been in any of the previous books , so it was easier to get used to her foreign accent, although not what I had envisioned an American gypsy sounding like.

Awesome story. Awesome narrator.

I loved this story when I read it and love it listening to it. I thought this story is the best in this series and now listening to it made just justify that it is very much the best.
Caleb has changed so much as did Edith and Ben and with Maggie and sweet Charlotte how couldn't this be the best of so many top notch stories in this most loved and awesome story. Bravo for Debra Holland for writing a masterpiece and Natalie Ross is just superb as narrator for this story.
Thank you Debra for allowing me to listen to this fantastic story to review for you.
I loved it when I read it and now love it even more listening to it.

Mystic Montana Sky: Montana Sky, Book 6

Caleb has been in The Montana Sky Series right from the start. He is a product of his time and environment so I made allowances for his snobbery and prejudices since he did show us glimpses of his goodness. That being said, I didn’t like him very much because of his treatment of the orphan twins in book 2. Although he was actively looking for a wife, he didn’t have any luck finding her because he was searching for a woman that would fit perfectly into his life. He saw himself as quite a catch and never considered what he could offer a wife. It was sad yet comical when the women he decided to pursue were won by others. I really didn’t hold out much hope that he would find his match.

This story had me immediately hooked. I really shouldn’t be surprised because I have been a Debra Holland fan for years. Still, I was surprised that I became so invested in Caleb’s story and was actually rooting for him to finally find his love. I was also amazed when other characters that I had previously not cared for showed real change and growth. This story definitely worked it’s magic on me because I enjoyed every minute of it.
