Where He Leads

Westward Wanderers, Book 1

De: Angela Castillo

Narrado por: Ginger White

Compared to an arranged marriage to the odious Bernard Regent, a prairie schooner on the Oregon Trail doesn't seem like such a bad trade to Amethyst Kent.

When desperate Martha Davis reveals her need for a mother's helper on the trail, Ami decides to take it up and leave the pampered life she's always known for a land of freedom. But trail life is hardly a tea party, and Ami must draw from the deepest wells of her faith to survive.

With the sunset always before her, and Shiloh Talon, a handsome trail scout, guiding the way, she might just make it through.

This is a clean Christian historical fiction with romantic elements.

Enjoyable

This is a going west book that has a little bit different storyline to it. Amy has spunk and while she was from a wealthy family, she was willing to do what she had to.on the trail. I liked how the story played out, with a little suspense and romance.

Great Story

This the second audiobook that I have listened to by this author. It was better than the first one! The reader did a great job bringing the book to life!

A decent Wagontrail novel

This is a good Christian romance novel. The heroine has spunk, instead of giving in to her father demand. Amy made her decision to join the wagon train for Oregon. On the trail Amy met a few other characters that became her friends, through them she saw the strong faith they had in God. If you like wagon train series, clean romance novels, check this one out. Ginger White did a good job reading this book.

Cute Story

The days of when the father of the parents chose when and who you are to marry. She was rich, pampered, and didn’t like who they chose. A delightful story of how she changed along the dusty wagon train. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

a fun read

I enjoyed this story. I got through this book quicker than most. Ther narrator's men's voices sounded silly so that was a bit distracting. This was the first book by this author and I'll be back for more.

Wonderful book

This was such a good interesting, nail biting romance and full of suspense. Never a dull moment and I loved bit of it. Loved the narrator reading this good clean Christian audible book. Thank you for the free copy of this audible book. I would recommend it to everyone who like Historical Frontier romance.

Fun and sweet listen

it was interesting kept my attention from beginning to end. A lite fun, easy listen. the narrator did a great job and the story was engaging. I look forward to more by this author. I tend to read a lot of WWII books so this was very different for me.

Wonderful book full of adventure!

If you enjoy books about people traveling west, I highly recommend “Where He Leads.” The audio book was very well done. I’m looking forward to more books by Angela Castillo.

Pioneer Romance with a bit of suspense

After Ami's mother passed away, her wealthy father soon married a woman close to the age of his daughter. This woman wants Ami out of the way. So she influences her husband to marry his daughter off to a man Ami knows has a cruel heart. Ami's disturbing memories of him during their school days make it impossible for her to consider him as a spouse. But her father will only listen to his wife. Ami's mother had not come from wealth and had taught her daughter humility and that there are things more important in life than money. When Ami's father tells her of the arranged marriage, Ami becomes desperate. She decides to join a close friend of her deceased mother on a wagon train to Oregon. But Ami could not have imagined all the hardships and trials she would encounter.

Shiloh is attracted to Ami immediately upon laying eyes on her but knows that a woman of wealth like Ami would never give him a second glance. On the trail, there are many times he saves her or helps her in one way or another. A friendship develops. During the months' long journey, Ami matures in her understanding of life and what really matters. Will this wagon train and Ami, in particular, survive encountering the threat of Indians, wild animals, dangerous circumstances, greedy bounty hunters, and more?

It was nice to see Ami develop from a girl used to indulgences and wealth, to one who learns how to survive. Her past ideals were challenged when having to make life and death decisions. Helping those around her became more important than her own safety. And she meets honest people who, although poor, would help their neighbors without expecting anything in return.

The love story with Shiloh develops in a believable manner. Certainly, coming from two very different backgrounds, there were things each of them had to learn to overcome. But the author did a nice job of developing the characters to where the reader roots for them to find a path to each other. The story moves along nicely, with plenty of action to keep the reader hooked to the end. I listened to this on Audible and I really enjoyed listening to this narrator's voice.

Christian Historical Romance

Great story and wonderful narration!
I hope book 2 continues with an update on this couple!
