Bloom Town: Genesis

Bloom Town, Book 1

De: Ally North

Narrado por: 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.

Steamy, sexy, and so good!

This is the first review I’ve ever left on Audible. This book exceeded all expectations. I was tired of reading sapphic romances that told the same stories…age gap, ice queens, falling for your best friend, etc. I love them but needed something fresh and different. This book was the perfect thing! Historical fiction with a sapphic storyline that kept me guessing all the way through! I felt like I really got to know the characters, which I loved!! Also, perfect descriptions of the various settings made me feel like I was really there…kind of like a fly on the wall witnessing the events in person! It’s 3:30am, and I’m forcing myself to go to bed and not start the sequel immediately!

Excellent

This is one of my favorite book series. Just an excellently written book and Quinn Riley did not disappoint with this audio performance. Can’t wait for part 2!

Excellent story and narration!

This book had me completely wrapped around the story. Quinn Riley made every scene? Every character fully come to life. I was absolutely enthralled! Biting my nails awaiting book 2 to come out in audio!
