Publisher's summary

Best-selling historical Western romance

Cowboy Brogan Kavanagh wants nothing better than to be left alone. Unfortunately, he’s left with no option and helps two women travelers. The oldest spitfire, Ciara, doesn’t trust him one bit and is constantly on her guard.

Brogan is both amused and insulted by her attempts to keep him at arm’s length. He doesn’t want a woman in his life. What could go wrong?

Ciara Doyle has the weight of the world laying heavily on her shoulders. She is trying to get her and her sister Orla back to St. Louis after her parents died along the Oregon Trail. One wrong turn after another led her to Texas. Orla had been in an accident when she was 14, and in her mind, she is forever 14. They stop their wagon at a downed fence trying to make a plan, but they are caught by Brogan, who accuses them of ruining the fence to steal his horses.

He realizes they are just down on their luck and short on supplies. Brogan invites them to bring their wagon close to the house. Ciara accepts, but with conditions. They will not accept charity, so they will work, and there are to be no notions of anything improper. Brogan readily agrees; after all, he doesn’t trust people. Will they ever be able to set aside their problems and acknowledge their growing attraction?

If you love sweet, inspirational, historical Westerns filled with heroic cowboys, adventure, mayhem, and marriages of convenience, you’ll be enamored with Kathleen Ball’s emotional, faith-based books. She also writes touching mail-order brides series along, with exciting Oregon Trail series.

Sweet read!

This was a sweet read. The characters were easy to root for and the narrator did a great job bringing them to life. I look forward to other books in the series!

Sweet Christian Romance

This is such a sweet romance. Brogan and Ciara are determined to keep at arm's length, but that becomes very difficult. Orla, Ciara's younger sister, is 18 but an accident has left her brain stuck at 14. She brings a lot of wisdom and humor to the story despite her disability. The story is wonderful, the characters are each loveable in their own way, and the story of God's way of bringing about His plans for good are encouraging and inspirational. I truly enjoyed listening this book!

Sarah Kisko always brings a delightful performance and this was no exception. She is so talented at creating voices that bring to life the characters. I love listening to her and am never disappointed.


I requested this audiobook from the narrator and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Short and sweet

It was a cute story, but nothing really exciting. Based on the narrator, Brogan always sounded angry, even if he wasn’t.

Frozen Heart

I enjoyed listening to Sarah Kisko narrate this book. She brought the characters to life. Brogan Kavanagh wants to be left alone, but when he finds two women, on his property, he has no choice but to help them. Ciara is the older sister and Orla is the younger one. Ciara is feisty and Orla has a way with horses. Ciara is just trying to keep her sister safe, since her accident at fourteen and their parents death. Both Brogan and Ciara have a lot on their shoulders, but can they both help each other in the end. Free their minds and hearts, of a heavy burden.
I was given a copy of this book, by the narrator for an honest review.

Sweet & Entertaining!

This is my first book of this series, and it is a joy to listen to. Easy on the ears and all around heart warming story, I was caught up in Brogan's book. Brogan has a chip on his shoulder. The result of an affair, he has always felt left out of the family. Determined to prove his worth on his own, he has his own ranch and lives a lonely life. That is until he finds Ciara and Orla. These two women are lost to say the least, and he takes them in. But will they stay? Does he want them to stay? Can Ciara help mend the family? There is so much to love about this book. Orla the horse whisperer is a hoot! She has no filter, says what she feels and is just a breath of fresh air. Ciara is overprotective, but understandably so, and Brogan is incredibly guarded. I love how these three fall together, meeting the rest of the Kavanaughs and the danger the west can bring. It's a little suspense, a little love and a whole lot of goodness.

Sarah Kisko brings this gem to life and it's such a good listen. Kisko has a great array of voices, able to go from male to female with ease. She gives us the gruff outlaw too and makes it all feel real. This is a fabulous listen and great for a weekend walk!

Great one

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The Kavanagh Brothers is a great series. This book in particular has great characters and is well written. I love how in-depth this writer developed Orla. My only issue was the way the narrator said "sorry". It drove me crazy, however, it's easily overlooked when a book is this good.
