Cute Western

Rose and Callum relationship gets put through the ringer. She plays hard to get in my eyes lol not wanting to marry him and instead move all way out to California. After Rose gets “kidnapped” by her old boss/boyfriend and then finds out she’s with child all her plans change. If you like clean historical cowboy romances this series is right up your alley. Dawson has that rough cowboy voice that’s perfect for reading this book too!

Welder Rose

This is an awesome story with many twists and turns. Love always wins. So glad Rose escaped her abuser. Love Dawson McBrides narration. his voice is so smooth and you really fall into the story line.

Summary –

A woman on the run, a handsome Scotsman professing love, can a snowstorm force Rose to admit the truth? Rose is an accomplished stage actress but she must go into hiding to escape an abusive relationship. Being a saloon singer in Wylder isn't so bad, especially when she meets Callum. He treats her right and even proposes marriage. She keeps her past hidden from him because she doesn't want to hurt him. But when her past suddenly shows up, she knows it's time for last call. Heading to California is her only recourse, or so she thinks. Callum has other ideas and tries to convince her to take a chance on him and true love. Will Rose kiss Wylder and Callum goodbye or will she trust in love?

My Rating: 5+ stars

Rose & Callum

There is nothing better than a Scotsman to the rescue! Rose has come to Wylder as a saloon singer. Not her profession of choice as she is an opera singer, but to flee from an abusive relationship. Callum has taken an immediate shine to the woman, but will that be enough to keep her in Wylder? As her past collides with her present, decisions will have to be made! Rose is a strong woman, and I love having that in a story. She will not settle for a man who cannot treat her right. Callum is a sweet, protective man, His accent for me is enough to win my heart, but he has to work for Rose's! I love visiting Wylder, each story intertwined yet stand alone and original. It's a great series and I enjoy the scenery, the way of life and the characters! It's so much fun!

Dawson McBride breaks out with a Scottish brogue to melt my heart with his narration of The Wylder Rose. He nails Callum, and brings a sense of protectiveness and love to his character. McBride always has a wonderful array of voices for his characters and brings an easy pace and enjoyable listen.
