Tempest

By: Beverly Jenkins

Narrated by: Kim Staunton

From USA Today best-selling author Beverly Jenkins comes a new novel in a mesmerizing series set in the Old West, where an arranged marriage becomes a grand passion....

What kind of mail-order bride greets her intended with a bullet instead of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael - an independent spirit equally at home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a man she's never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze.

Regan's far from the docile bride Colton was expecting. Still, few women would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an uncertain future with a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman like Regan in his life - and in his arms - begins to inspire a new dream. And despite his family's disapproval and an unseen enemy, he'll risk all to make this match a real union of body and soul.

Awesome Read

As usual Beverly Jenkins delivered and Kin did an amazing job narrating. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Beverly Jenkins what can I say!

I was so curious to see if Regan would find true love and she did.❤❤❤

Independent woman & successful color family

Loved the read! Yep me engaged the whole way through. Not usually attracted to the older time periods but loved the twists and turns.

Great story!

I laughed and cried. Beverly Jenkins really knows how to bring humor to her novels and this one was no exception. I laughed in the first chapter and smiled and laughed and cried during their journey. Kudos to love.

Narrator aged characters

I really enjoy historical books by Beverly Jenkins, and I usually enjoy this narrator. However, I have noticed that her voice seems a bit mature for some of the characters. I thought Regan was in her late 20's to early 30's but the narrator made her seem much older. I also was hoping that Mrs. Jenkins would mention Sable and/ or the Fontaine's other sister in the story. I loved Sable and Raymond's story so much it could just be wishful thinking on my part. Overall, I enjoyed the story.

Worth the wait

I like it. I finished it in one day. I hope there’s another book about the Fontaine/Carmichael clan

Enjoyable!!

I loved it!!!!! The characters were great, the story line was wonderful, and it was entertaining.

Great story and narration

This was a great story. I liked the main characters and the plot was really interesting. It wasn't the typical romance and I likes it. I'll read more by this author.

B.Jenkins never disappoints

Loved it !Standing Ovation , not to mention a perfectly placed narrative, I loved all of her series

Lovely end to a wonderful series

I loved this book so much and I know I say that after every Beverly Jenkins novel but it’s because she writes love stories that enrich, enlighten and educate while giving us the HEA we long for. When people ask for recs, I always start with Beverly Jenkins.

I love that we got to see a fiery, headstrong Regan get the guy and a community all in one incredibly adventurous tale. I love that we see the horrors of the era without sugarcoating any of it encapsulates around a love story that centers on hope. I love that we see a “broken” family heal through love and acceptance. I love that I get to learn about life on the frontier for POC. I love that sex is shown on the page as a conduit for the connection two people share and how sometimes it’s not a love match but when it is, the lovemaking is that much sweeter.

I love that!
