Izzy Lawson has taken her last abuse.

When her husband dies, she has a choice to make: Go home, and face the family who made her stay with the beast, or head to Belle Fourche to the only friend she has left.

Conrad Oleson can't read, and it's shamed him for longer than he can remember.

When another teacher shows up on his front step, he's sure his brother is meddling, again. But when Izzy reveals her painful past, he can't stay away. And if learning to read brings him closer to her, he'll do about anything for her including teaching her how to love.

Really draws you in

This is not my normal genre but I really liked this story.
Very realistic. I loved the way the characters were portrayed.
Many of us have troubled pasts, many of us still have troubled presents.
It is always good to hear of someone that treats you as you should be treated... With Love and kindness no matter the past you have had forced on you or chosen to live. Make your own choice and choose to love.

Sweet Romance

This was an interesting book, it fulfills all the criteria great historical Romance. The main relationship was very sweet and I enjoyed hearing how it progressed.

The characters are well developed and the descriptions are clear and easy to picture. I enjoyed the style of writing and ti dialogue comes across as natural.

I've read other books in the series and reading this one filled in the gaps for me. It was enjoyable to listen to and did a good job of setting up the series.

The narration includes good character voices, smooth clear delivery, and it matched the story nicely.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Uplifting

This is a great beginning to this series, I couldn't stop listening! Izzy Lawson has arrived at the home of her best friend after her horribly abusive husband has died. After living with a man who verbally abused her, she comes with no confidence and feels she will never love again. Conrad Oleson runs the ranch, but his inability to read has made him insecure. When these two meet, there is a spark and from there the story begins. I love the way Kari Trumbo writes. It's a refreshing listen, with a story developing the characters and giving us a sense of warmth and comfort as it goes on. Her thread of healing through the story is evident and as Izzy and Conrad grow closer, you can feel their love grow and their spirits restore. There are a few twists and turns with ranch business, and Izzy gets caught up in the action.

With J. Scott Bennett narrating, this story has a calm and soothing effect. His performance is spot on for these spiritually fulfilling stories, and has give us a beautiful listen.

A wonderful story!

Isabelle's past tore here apart. It will take the love Conrad gives to help her heal. But someone wants Conrad dead. Isabelle must let go of the past and find herself to help save her heart's desire.
This story grabs the heart and never holds back.

Sweet Western Romance

This is my first book I've had read to me by Ms Trumbo. Her storytelling is sweet. I am a fan of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. Ms. Trumbo's writing is perfect when I need a Dr. Quinn fix.

In this story, Issy (Isabelle) is just starting to heal from a distructive marriage when she comes to stay with her dear friend Lula and Lula's in-laws. At the O ranch she meets Conrad, the eldest brother of Lula's husband Barton. This is a delightful story of how two people can build each other up by encouragement and love. And of course the author threw in some suspense to keep the storytelling moving at a wonderful pace.

Storyteller J Scott Bennett is perfect for these Western Romances. I have enjoyed several audiobooks narrated by him. His voice is true, trusted, and tender just like what is called for with wholesome, clean western romances.

I received this audiobook from the author. My review is voluntarily provided. Thank you for the excellent listening experience.
