The Provider

The Provider Saga, Book 1

De: John Deacon

Narrado por: A.T. Chandler

When Will Bentley was nine years old, he promised his dying father that he would take care of the family.

Growing up quickly, Will provided whatever his mother and sister needed, whether that meant putting food on the table, fixing a leaky roof, or driving off troublemakers.

This became more than Will's duty. It became his identity. Then war took him away.

Now, Will's coming home to Texas.

Caring for his family and the intriguing young woman next door will be a tall order. The economy is dead, corrupt bluebellies are on the prowl, and old enemies want Will's land, his women, and his life.

It's enough to break a man. But Will Bentley is no ordinary man. He is The Provider.

The Provider is a classic Western with a touch of romance. It's perfect for fans of C.J. Petit and R.O. Lane.

THE PROVIDER

This is a good story. Will comes home from the war and finds everything has changed. His home has been stolen (Legally) by the carpet baggers. They control the whole town. He has to fight them off. Will saved his sister from a bad ordeal. And he starts a relationship with Maggie. He along a very few friends takes on the carpet Baggers that's controlling everything. There is a lot of action and a big fight at the end. This is a good start to the series. After listening to this I want to see what happens in the rest of the series. It was easy to keep up with everyone. A.T. Chandler does a great job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

The way Johnstone used to write

Well constructed. Hero and characters we can care about. This is well worth your time. Enjoy.

Action packed western!

Another classic by John Deacon! Will Bentley is resourceful and tough! Read so well that you can see the story come alive!

Fun story of an all American young man with a heart of gold and love of family

so I actually have listened to this story cover to cover 3 times now. Something I rarely do, even if I love a book I rarely go back to it. A little short compared to what I'm used to, but theres something to be said in me listening to it multiple times.
I love exploring the male perspective, and Will although a young man was an interesting character. The romance was sweet, two babies finding and being in love(I'm just 3 years older than Will but they're babies to me lol). Looking forward to the rest of the series and more from this author,love finding my kind of people!

I felt bad about how things were back durinh the Reconstuction. especially in Texas.

How fast Will and Maggie fell in love. I imagine if that happened today. they would skip the preacher and get a motel/hotel room.

Really???

Loved the justice series - my first deacon series so was excited to start a new one. This is horrible. Can't get past the childish attraction and lengthy descriptions of Maggie and his ridiculous instant attraction. thought the mush would stop and get back to a true western, but it just kept going on and on till I could take no more. too bad because that's the last time I'll read/listen to another of his books !

Great Story!

The provider is an excellent western. Great writing and a darn good story, thanks for another favorite! I cant wait for the next Provider book! We have listened to all of John Deacons books and are always ready for more!
