The Dakotah Treasures series - all 4 books

I am a huge fan of Lauraine Snelling books and own all but the abridged ones.
This series was released before the others so I can say she improved a lot!
This series was not my favorite and the narrator was a big disappointment for me.
I recommend all her other books.

Good

Story is good. This is not a romance. Reader was very annoying due to constant sniffling, sighing etc.

One of my favorite books of all time!

Where does Ruby rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Ruby, and her sister Opal travel travel at the wish of their father to claim their inheritance. When they arrive, the "inheritance' is a brothel. This book is how Ruby and Opal transform this brothel into a hotel, and transform the town of Little Missouri (not Little Missery) into a decent place to live.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ruby?

When Ruby figures out (or was told) what a brothel was!

What about Alexandra O'Karma’s performance did you like?

Great voices, makes you feel like you are really there.

Who was the most memorable character of Ruby and why?

She stands up for what she believes is right, something we don't often see today!

Any additional comments?

Love the book, comes in a series, Pearl is really good also

Christian Historical Romance

Oh my! The confusion and hardships this family have to endure are unconscionable!! Incomprehensible!!! And so so wrong! But, they definitely make for a great book!
The narration on this book was wonderful!

Intriguing Western about God's guidance

The story is really good. I read and listened. The reader was sometimes loud in breathing or swallowing, but she did a really good job with inflection. Very good book. Have read many by Ms Snelling. Hope to read more soon!
