Sweet western romance

Two stubborn hearts wrestle with each other and try to push away from a love that is obvious to everyone around them. I enjoyed listening to the unabridged audio book version from audible. It sure made housework more enjoyable. I have to admit that toward the last several chapters I was actually searching for extra things I could do so as to have more time to listen!

These characters have great chemistry and I especially enjoyed the banter. I laughed out loud several times and found myself talking to the characters more than once wishing they could only hear me and straighten up!

If you are looking for a sweet, yet fun western romance, then do yourself a favor and snag a copy of Dreams in Deadwood by Kari Trumbo. It is sure to keep you turning pages laughing, and sighing with contentment.

Dreams in Deadwood review

An enjoyable story, worth the time in listening to, and five stars. Look forward to the rest of this series.

Beautiful story.

I loved this book!!!! I stay up late at night just to read it. I listening about their travel to Deadwood and the struggles the family went thru. Can't way it to read the next book in the series. I also really enjoyed the voice of the narrator.

A great, Old West Christian romance

This author has created a great story set in the time of settlors expanding into the western part of the United States. Following the miners who had hoped to strike it rich, this group set out to find a fulfilment of the dreams of wide-open space and a place to live and love. This is the first book in the series of this group of sisters. Some of them want to be part of the adventure and others would have rather just stayed where they were. A love story that is easy to enjoy and makes you want to continue reading the series to find out what happens to the other sisters.

Clean and sweet pioneer time romance

This was a wonderful clean romance set in the pioneer era. The author did a great job with the plot line and I was pulled into the story pretty quickly. I loved that it wasn't an overly fluffy romance, it was true to the time period and life, in that life isn't all sunshine and roses, which made the story more believable. I felt Maghan Kelly did a wonderful job with the narration, she was easy to listen to.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sweet Ole’ West Story

I think Dreams in Deadwood, Book 1, was very sweet. Some of the plot became predictive and the main character was naive enough (as in sure was normal for the time) that it drove me a little crazy, but overall the plot and characters were good. Meghan Kelly did a fantastic job with the narration and it was fairly easy to figure out who was talking with the voice inflections.

Sweet Story!

I enjoyed this standalone listen by Kari Trumbo. The narration by Meghan Kelly was spot one. She performs various characters with distinguishable voices. The author wrote great imagery in this book. The descriptions were so well done that I could visualize so much. This was time well spent listening. I would definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Deadwood finally becomes home.

Jenny, the second oldest of8 sisters comes to Deadwood South Dakota by wagons in the 1800’s. The oldest sister Ruby and her husband are caring for all the girls. This story is of Jenny maturing and realizing what is really important. She also comes to realize home is where family is not necessarily a place. She met Aiden when he joined their wagons along the trail. He had his own demons and regrets. They finally figured their future out. As the name of the series is 7brides of Deadwood we can surmise that over time we’ll get the rest of the stories. There are little hints of what is to come but not really cliffhangers. This is a good book and the narration is great. Clean read. I would recommend this.
