This was a fun read full of sparks and passion. I loved the
plot it is full of suspense, mystery and secrets. Rilla is one determined women
lord help who ever tries to stop her she isn’t about to let anyone get in her
way of what is rightfully hers. This was really a very intriguing read that
pulls you in from the first page.
Back in that time period what Rilla had to go through when
she found out she had be lied to for so many years is just heartbreaking. I am
sure her parents didn’t plan on dying or they would have planned better. If
things weren’t bad enough now she finds some man is looking for her as her
heart goes out to him he tears hers right out of her chest. Add the man she
plans to marry who is really a mothers boy and his evil mother to mix and you
have one intriguing story. Calvin is a man of few words with his back ground he
doesn’t need them. When he takes on a job he sees it through to the end. With
the job he is on nothing is adding up and he really cannot stand the man who
hired him. Things really goes crazy when he finds out the women he plans on
courting is the women he has been hired to find. Things really get crazy when
said man comes in and lays down the law leaving poor Rilla with few options.
I thought Mr. McAllister did a really good job with the
narration. The only problem I really had was his character voice for Rilla
sounded more Chinese than French. It was pleasant but just not what I had
pictured her voice to be like. He does put a lot of emotion into the listen
really making you feel the emotions he is trying to bring to the story. He male
voices are as good as his female ones. You know have no trouble knowing who is
talking and what they are feeling. This is a three and a half hours listen and
you have no trouble getting into it listening to it all at one setting. There
was one place towards the beginning where he did repeat a few words but it
isn’t a big deal it is just noticeable. There are no background noises and no
volume changes, if any breaks were taken I could not tell. It is really a very
clear and clean audio that I enjoyed very much.
This was a very refreshing read with new twist and
characters you will fall in love with. It was a story I could not put down. I
loved how the author twist the plot giving you a very highly entertaining read
that has you racing turning the pages to see what new twist is in store for
you. For a debut novel the writing is great, the plot very interesting and it
holds your attention.

The people she thought she knew, and those she loved, had kept secrets and lies that could bring scandal and shame if they are discovered. Everything she holds dear could be taken from her.

He is delighted to discover they are staying at the same boardinghouse, even though he knows he has no time to become sweet on the girl. He'd been sent there to do a job, so he'd have to fall in love on his own time. However, when he agreed to take on the job, he had no idea where this journey would lead him, or the lives he'd ruin with his investigation.
