The Guilty Propsal

Barbara Goss has written a wonderful story about 3 friends in an unlikely love triangle. Leonor A Woodworth did a fabulous job narrating this story.

Lovely story

This is a promising series with this first story on a par with Barbara Goss' others.
What a silly yet ethical hero we have in Travis who feels he has to propose marriage to Libby because of an accident while riding with her on his horse that has left her bedridden. Of course she accepts and this is when his troubles really begin.
All the characters play their parts very nicely and the story flows from scene to scene very smoothly. I loved Evaline. She is full of spunk and mischief and kept our hero on his toes.
There were quite a few moments when I just found myself being pulled into the story as if I was actually there.
The audiobook version was provided by the author at no cost and this is my unbiased review.

It all began with the guilt

As I think back to listening to this book, my thoughts are mixed.

The story opened and I formed an opinion of how the plot would go, except it didn't go that way...at all. The conclusion of the book made sense to the story and wrapped everything up nicely, but I still have a lingering question wondering what would have happened if the plot had twisted in a few of the ways that my mind thought it would.

Travis drove Libby home one evening and an unfortunate accident on the ride home caused Libby injury to her legs, making the doctor wonder if she would walk again. Travis feels guilty and does everything he can to help Libby, including selling cattle to pay for a doctor and even offering to marry her. Then Travis meet a woman in town that he is attracted to and the plot thickens.

One thing I do like about books by Barbara Goss is the characters. They have character and integrity without being boring, uptight or stuffy.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Sweet and Clean Historical Romance!

This is the first book in the Heroes of Hays Series. This Historical Romance is sweet, clean, twisted, and fun. I love all the characters! Travis and Evaline share an instant attraction/love, but unfortunately Travis is already betrothed to Libby. This story is well written, believable, and beautiful. I love Barbara Goss's writing. She never disappoint! The narration is well done. Leonor A Woodworth has a beautiful voice, easy to understand. I enjoyed my listening. received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily written this review.
