He found her at her worst, can she love him at his?

Eva Arnsby can’t stay indoors, her need to draw the woodland creatures around her home near Lead, South Dakota gets her in a heap of trouble. And none more troublesome than a shadowy stranger who steals her notebook and her spirit.

Ranger, Captain George Roth, is suspicious when he finds a small woman in man’s trousers sneaking around in the woods. Determined to discover the woman’s secrets, he takes on an assignment, ready to investigate her under the guise of a harmless town dandy.

A chameleon in a suit, Mr. George Roth is asking too many questions, and wearing too many masks. Despite Eva’s reluctance, they work together, and soon, she sees parts of George she can’t resist. Shouldn’t she follow her heart? But when the mask slips, and Eva realizes George isn’t who she thinks he is, the damage to her heart may never be mended.

One lie will break them apart, and George must convince her that the man she fell for in Lead is the same man who loved her in the woods.

It was a deceptively complex story

I loved the contrasts that went on in this story. I couldn't believe the amount of espionage that went on. Also, wow! I found the intriguing interactions between white folk and Indians. From the very boisterous and heart-pounding pace of the story of her twin sister, I loved Eva's gentle and quiet nature, how subtle this story turned out to be. I agree with Ruby when she said that she and George were perfect for one another. I appreciated George's strength of character, including upholding his principles even if he had to give up being something that defined him for 10 years. God definitely works in mysterious ways.

Good story

You never know were you'll find love, living out in the wilderness. A man that thinks your a spy and an Indian that wants you. The narration was wonderful

Sweet historical romance with great narration

Eva and George’s story pulled me right in. Love in a Lead is an engaging story with well-developed characters. As usual, Kari Trumbo wrote a good, solid, clean romance, and Meghan Kelly beautifully narrated it.

Follow the flower.

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review." I haven't read books 1 or 2, but I believe it would have been a good thing to do. This book is a stand alone, but there are references to the other books that I would have loved to know about. 'Love in Lead' is a good story, it's clean but still has romance in it. The plot involves Captain Roth investigating to see if Eva is helping the Indians. Their relationship is kind of tepid for a while, but of course love wins in the end.

Love in lead

Absolutely love Kari Trumbo and her series on the adventures of the Arnsby sisters. Narrator does an excellent performance. This audiobook book is an easy listen. A bit of romance not spicy at all. Would highly recommend

Perfectly wonderful

What a wonderful story and narration! Kari Trumbo creates magic with her words and descriptions to the point I can almost see the story unfold. Eva has been lonely ever since an incident her and her twin being separated and now she was married. Going outside and a little bit away from her home, she sketches nature and even an indian brave that came upon her one day.
Through a series of events she comes under suspicion of aiding the Indians by a Ranger, Capt George, who has been keeping an eye on the Indians and their movements
This is a story of building trust, finding the truth and the building of a love that will endure by two people who never expected it.
Simply beautiful and with the narration of Meghan Kelly, it was Perfect!

Love in Leads

Rating: 4.5 stars

I will not summarize this story because it was already given in the description of this book. The purpose of this review was to give potential readers information to make an informed decision about reading/listening to this book.

What I liked:

• The author caught my attention right from the beginning and drew me into the story's inner workings.
• George and Eva were likeable characters. Their romance grew at a believable pace.
• The descriptions of locations and emotions were well done and easy to visualize and to feel. I felt a part of the scenes.
• I admire the author's historical accuracy of the town of Leads.
• The pacing of the story was neither too slow nor too fast.
• There was a smooth, coherent flow to this book and it was well edited.
• This story had a satisfying ending.
• This novel was a clean read.
• I did not find this Christian historical romance preachy. Religion was just a natural part of the characters' lives. No lectures.
• The narrator did an excellent job in differentiating the various character's voices.

The only weakness to the story was that the characters did not follow the social norms of the day. Norms make it trickier to write. How do you get the main characters together within the norms?

I was given a free audiobook by the author. I also, read along with the narrator using my Kindle Unlimited copy using Whispersyc. My review was voluntary and my opinions were my own.
