“Luke” Hamilton has been living as a husband and father for the past 17 years. No one but her wife, Nora, knows she is not the man she appears to be.

Just as Luke sets out on a dangerous trip to Fort Boise, a newcomer arrives on the ranch - Rika Aaldenberg, who traveled to Oregon as a mail-order bride, hiding that she’s not the woman in the letters.

Story
For solitary novelist Jorie Price, true love seems as fictional as the shape-shifting creatures she writes about in her paranormal romances. Griffin Westmore doesn't believe in love, either, but she's one of those not-so-fictional shape-shifters who secretly live among humans. When Jorie's writing gets uncomfortably close to the truth, Griffin is sent to investigate and, if necessary, kill the author to protect the secrets of her kind. But when Griffin unexpectedly finds herself drawn to Jorie, her world is turned upside down.

Falling stars are supposed to be a lucky sign, but not for Austen. Her new job as a secretary in an international games company isn't off to a good start. Her first assignment - decorating the Christmas tree in the lobby - results in a trip to the ER after Dee, the company's second-in-command, gets hit by the star-shaped tree topper. Dee blames her instant attraction to Austen on her head wound, not the magic of the falling star. She's determined not to act on it, especially since Austen has no idea that Dee is practically her boss.

Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

Backwards to Oregon
This is one of my favorite books I love a story told in the past for the LGBT community it's hard to find books that would take you into the past Sarah Waters does a good job of it but her books are not of the United States so it was nice to hear a story about the migration that my ancestors took and what it might have been like if someone like me was to have traveling that lonely road back then thank you for writing this book Jae you are a Great author. ps. Hayden Bishop was the perfect voice for this book ☺

Fantastic
I loved this one. The story was great. The characters were funny and engaging. I never experienced many dull moments throughout this book, I was pretty much sucked in the whole time. You're just waiting for the secrets to come out! I loved Luke. Such a great character. I would totally read a series like this, each with their own "cowboy" twist lol.
Anyways, I would recommend. The narrator was good. The voices were different and consistent. The kids voices were great lol.
I think even if you're not into "historical" type romances, this one is still a great read. So try it!

Couldn't stop
From the first word spoken to the last I could not stop listening, I was hooked. I felt all of Luke's insecurities and her determination to do the honorable thing. Nora's determination to give her daughter the best life she could, doing whatever she had to do. The slow way the two of them move from acquaintances to married, friends to lovers. Learning about each other along the way. How much love there is between Luke and Amy, how much concern Luke has for the baby on the way. How the love grows between Luke and Nora. You just know that Luke loves this family that she has made for herself, and she is willing to do anything to protect her family. I really hope I don't have to wait forever for the sequel to this great book.

An absolutely terrific listen!
HOW did it take me this long to experience this book?!? I'm still making my way through Jae's published works and after 11 of them so far, I have to say that this is in my top 2 of hers (the other being Perfect Rhythm) and way up there on my all-time favorites list. The painstaking research that went into this was apparent and I was completely riveted by the story. The detail was so amazing that it felt like I was riding right along with their wagon train from Independence, Missouri to Oregon. It was fascinating, it was impressive, it was exciting, it was frightening and at times utterly beautiful. I am a die-hard romantic and Jae has written two of the most beautiful love scenes I've ever read. One in this book, and one in Perfect Rhythm. The consent, communication and tenderness in these scenes are what take them from merely sex to the most intimate of lovemaking. This one had me clutching my chest. I have not read the physical book yet, but the audio version was beautifully narrated by Hayden Bishop. She really brought the story to life - and it wasn't easy to do as there were three main characters (one of them being a three year old child) and a variety of secondary characters. Her tone was just perfect for this work. This is one of those books where you fall in love with the characters and story so much, you just don't want to let them go. I am so thankful there are short stories and a sequel to this, so I don't have to say goodbye just yet! I just couldn't be more impressed by what Jae did here. Incredible book. If I could give this more than five stars, I absolutely would.

I thought this book was the perfect amount of pioneer history and lesbian romance. A lot of fun facts about the Oregon Trail, too. I really enjoyed the diversion. It's so rare to find a book like this and it was really well written. I would definitely recommend it.

Jae's best
This book made me a Jae fan. She said it was her first book and, in my opinion, it is also her best. The 15 hours didn't feel that long, and by the end of the story, I wanted still another chapter on the lives of these pioneering women. I hope Jae makes an audiobook of the sequel.

Lots of promise
This story has lots of promise and I was very excited to read it, but I really struggled to finish it. I understand characters having old-fashioned views of gender or race, but sometimes it felt the author had those views too.
(spoilers follow)
Luke reads very much as a trans man, to the point that the narrator remarks that "she thinks of herself as a man", essentially. I can understand characters feeling Luke is a woman, but if he feels like a man and is comfortable as a man, don't we know by now that he should be accepted and respected as a man, not made to feel "comfortable" with being a woman because of his body parts?
And encounters with Native Americans are often pretty stereotypical, with them bewitched by the love interest's red hair and trying to trade ponies for her at one point, for example. It didn't help that the narrator, while mostly good, kept referring to the "Show-shown" instead of Shoshone.
The pregnant sex scene was also a little upsetting! I'm not saying pregnant woman can't be attractive, but getting aroused by a "distended belly" made me uncomfortable.
These are just a few things I wish I'd known before I started reading!

The best surprise I've ever read/listened to
There were times I would just sit and stare off into the distance, forgetting about the world around me and get immersed into this world, I never wanted it to end and when it did i wanted to go right back to the beginning and start again.

Luke and Nora’s story is a long slow burn romance. With everything a great western movie would have including the villains and the heroes. I own this in paperback, ebook and audio. Worth every penny.

Just superb!
This is one of my all time favourite books and for me, is an absolute classic story.
I love Luke and Nora and the story is so well written. I imagined myself on the trail with mountains and grasslands around me. The depth of descriptions and vocabulary used is simply stunning.
The narration is the best I’ve heard and absolutely adds massively to the story. The different accents used were simply brilliant and I am so glad to see it’s the same narrator for the sequel, which I am off right now to buy, I simply can’t wait.
I love Jae’s books but this story holds a special place.
Thanks Jae for a super, brilliant story.

One of my favourite books.
I first got this book as Kindle and paperback versions.
I was thrilled to see it in the Audible catalogue.
It's well researched, well developed, and has you wanting the happy ever after both the main characters are hoping for, if for totally different reasons to start with.
I didn't mind the narrator, although I think she actually did a slightly better job on the sequel, 'Hidden Truths'.

I really enjoyed this book with it's out of the norm main characters. I enjoyed the way the 2 were at odds with each other but steadily came to be a couple & the family.

Slow burn that is movie material
I used to enjoy watching Westerns in my teens and twenties; to a lesser extent now. Not much into reading a Western theme, this book is not my usual choice. In fact, I disregarded it many times when it popped up as a recommendation. I'm glad I finally gave it a chance after reading some reviews. Jae provides such a wonderful immersive experience that I felt transported back in time with Luke and Nora. Jae had clearly done a lot of research for this book. It would be lovely to see this story made into a movie.
This is a slow slow burn. The beauty of the story telling is the depiction of the challenges faced by women in general during this period let alone lesbian women. And the choices they had to make as a result. After devouring this book, thankfully there was the sequel to keep Luke and Nora with me for a little longer.
It is my first time listening to Hayden Bishop. I found she did a fabulous job with the narration and voices. Having many audiobooks with narration by Abby Craden, Lori Prince and Angela Dawe (my top 3 favourite narrators), for this series, Hayden Bishop was the perfect choice.

Loved it
This was a great story. It had me enthralled from start to finish.
What I like about Jae’s writing the story is different and not one dimensional.
