Bloom Town: Genesis

Bloom Town, Book 1

By: Ally North

Narrated by: Quinn Riley

June, 1852. A preacher's daughter with a secret. An outlaw running from the gallows. A love story spanning oceans and deserts and years.

When Abby Proctor is kidnapped from a train in the middle of the desert halfway to her new life in California, she makes a promise to herself—she will escape. Because there's a reason Abby is leaving Iowa and all its oppressions behind, and she refuses to be someone's prisoner again. Especially when that someone is the infamous female outlaw Joey "JT London" Taylor, Abby's brash, brooding, and inconveniently beautiful captor.

But as Abby plots her escape, she stumbles upon a larger conspiracy at play behind her kidnapping—a complicated revelation considering the feelings she's been having for Joey, who might not be the ruthless criminal everyone believes her to be. And when Abby realizes it's all connected—her kidnapping, the secrets she left behind in Iowa, even her plans in California—she has to decide between returning to a life of obedience and unhappiness, or trusting an enigmatic outlaw who is bound for the gallows.

Amazing story!

I was sucked into the story from the start! I became attached to the main characters. Also Quinn Riley did an amazing job at performing this book! The accents were perfect!

One of the best sapphic books of the year
