What a delightful story with both strong male and female
roles just with different strengths. Cyrus owns a small
ranch but doesn’t know a thing about ranching if the ranch was left in his
hands there wouldn’t be one. Leigh knows
a lot about ranching but her father in law won’t give her credit for anything
since her husband died. He uses her as a slave with nothing in return. She has
had an enough and plans to find a way out. Cyrus decides he needs a foreman
Leigh decides she wants the job they agree to get married a win win for both of
them. He get a free foreman and do his job as a sheriff, she gets a place to call her own to do things as she wants everyone
wins or do they?
The narrator does a great job but at
times is a little slow not pausing when he needs to and pausing before he does.
As you get into the audio I didn’t notice that and was taken away by a great
story. Some of his female characters voices need a little work but for the most
part they are very nice. His male voices are great I loved Cy voice it was very
sexy and deep. I had no trouble knowing who was talking or what they were
feeling. He shows great emotions from
sad, to humor as needed. I found no background noises or any volume changes. If
any breaks were taken I could not tell.
I loved this audio with the strong
characters learning how to get along but knowing their weakness and doing what
they do best. I loved the humor and do some majorly chuckling as well as the
serious things. There is a little bit of everything in here from racism
to robbery and everything in between. Cy has mixed blood and most people don’t
like it. I liked how the author keeps the story moving with many different
cases that Cy was on. It is a win for me with Leigh being able to take over and
the praise she gets for a job well done. The supporting characters are
wonderful some I would love to see have stories of their own. I really liked
how Cy and Leigh get along from their teasing to their bricking. Leigh isn’t afraid
to tell it like it is she is one very entertaining women that holds her own
very well. The slow steady build up of the romance is great, the little side
stories are wonderful. The twists and
turns kept me hooked and very entertained. I really enjoyed this audio from start to
finish.
