MY TAKE
I've really enjoyed the stories in the Kansas Crossroads series. These novellas are short, sweet reads, but they aren't short on depth. The characters are often dealing with (or in this book running away from) serious issues.

I loved how feisty Jeanette became in pursuit of her dream to become a nurse. The good doctor was set in his ways, and when she called him on it, he also showed that he could learn and eat a slice of humble pie. As the book also shows, he had a kind heart. The romance happens kind of quickly.

I read the very short intro to the Nurses of New York series "Sea of Strangers" that shows Jeanette in her first weeks at nursing school. It also carries over an unfinished plotline from this book. So, don't forget to read it too!

The narrator did an okay job.

4 1/2 stars

Clean romance

This book was pretty good. It held my interest, but I think I would have liked it better had I read it instead of listening to it. The narrator seemed too chipper in serious parts. It doesn’t quite end on a cliffhanger but it doesn’t completely tie up all the loose endings- you would need the next book to know what happens to the main characters.

The Dark and the Dawn

Another great book by Amelia Adams. This is a great series and I look forward to every book. Jeanette came into her own. She came out from hiding behind her sister, and showed the courage she had all along.

A WESTERN ROMANCE

What a romance and it has it all .
The story plays out like an old western and it takes the listener back to the old west .
It has drama , secrets , new beginnings and a touch of sweet romance .
The audio book will touch at your heart strings and then make you want to shout for joy .
'' The bitter becomes sweet " The dark turns to light "
Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series .
The narrator did an amazing job ! Very talented with her voice and can act out the different characters very well .
FIVE STARS .....
