Catherine Evans fell in love when she was three years old - head-over-heels, forever kind of love. The very first moment she saw 12-year-old Duncan McKenzie, she told God and her pony that she was going to marry that boy. He was handsome. He was kind. He was strong and smart and all the good things a boy should be. For 13 years she loved him with every beat of her heart. And on her 16th birthday he walked away from her father's ranch, and from her. He didn't look back over his shoulder. Not even once.

For Belle Brinkman, her father's last wish could fulfill a dream she never knew she had.

Will Becky Be Saved?
Jake and Becky?
Who is Becky and how do they meet? why does he have to save her and from what?
This is an incredibly wonderful story and emotional also.
I don't want to say anything more about this book because I'm so excited about it that I might give something away.
I highly recommend that you get this incredible Audiobook and listen to it yourself, I'm sure you will agree with me.
The narrator did a fantastic job of reading this Audiobook, she made it come alive! I love narrators who do that.

Enjoyable story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I enjoyed the audio. The narrator did a great job on the voices. And it had a happy ending.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hannah - the little girl. The narrator made her adorable. She was like fresh air to the story.
Have you listened to any of Lia Frederick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first. But she is very good compared to some of narrators. I would enjoy hearing her again.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Grit, Gold and Love!
If you could sum up Jake in three words, what would they be?
Grit, Gold, Love
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the grit of Becky and the way she has to deal with an abusive father and yet wants to just have him love her.
Any additional comments?
Jake is running from the law for something he did not do. Becky is just trying to get her father's acceptance. Throw in a couple of bounty hunters and gold mine properties and the bad guy who got away with the crime that Jake is accused of and you have one wild ride!
Cynthia delivers a gritty, fast-paced western romance! It is a good first installment of the Destiny in Deadwood trilogy. The book was enjoyable to listen to and I enjoyed the fact that the story was about Jake and his whole family along with his love story with Becky. Looking forward to listening to Liam!
I would put this on the spicy side of Historical Western Romances if that is something that concerns you.
This audible was given to me for a fair and honest review.

Just okay ...
I didn't particularly enjoy the book. Neither the story nor the narration were very good. The book was predictable with no character development. It's part of a trilogy series but I don't have plans to read the next 2 installments. The narration was absolutely the worst aspect of the audible experience. This was my first time reading a work by Cynthia Woolf. If I can locate another book that isn't narrated by Lia Frederick, I might give the author a second listen. Otherwise, I'll keep browsing. The book isn't worth a credit. I purchased mine for $1.99 so I'll hang onto it I suppose.

Ok western romance
This was an ok story but for some reason chapters 14&15 are skipped. How Jake's name is cleared is left out. Maybe it is covered in the next book in the series.
Also the narrator's accent sounds like she is Reba MacIntyre. Not sure if that was intentional.
