Donovan's Bed

De: Debra Mullins

Narrado por: Joe Arden

In this battle of the sexes, the ultimate prize is love.

Sarah Calhoun is bound and determined to restore honor to the family name the only way she knows how - make her late father's newspaper, the Burr Chronicle, the most successful in the Wyoming Territory.

Haunted by past scandal, she knows one misstep, one misunderstanding, could bring disgrace back down on her head. Yet that doesn't stop her from running an article about the insulting Jack Donovan. The blasted man is shopping for a wife as he would a horse!

Jack finally has the house in the kind of town he's always dreamed about. Now all that's missing is a wife. At first, he thinks Sarah's scathing article about his quest is a good thing - until he finds himself hounded by hordes of young girls, spinsters, and widows. Still, he can't stop thinking about the sassy newspaper editor who started it all.

Sarah is as determined to ignore her impossible attraction to Donovan as she is to uncover his mysterious past. But the harder she digs for his secrets, the deeper he hides them. Until there's only one rock left unturned. His heart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Joe Arden portrays a myriad of characters who live in a small town in Wyoming. Rumors and stories circulate among the townsfolk when an elaborately decorated bed is carted down their main street. Local newspaper owner Sarah Calhoun is determined to discover the story behind the bed AND its owner - Jack Donovan, eligible bachelor. Arden ably captures Sarah's strong personality and Jack's debonair ruggedness. Arden's falsetto conveys the snarky attitude of the women who judge Sarah for her scandalous past, including those jockeying for a chance to become Jack's wife. Arden's Southern drawl and well-timed delivery bring out the male characters' jocular humor and exaggerate their buffoonish traits. As the heartfelt attraction that develops between Jack and Sarah is made palpable, Arden's deep tones and dramatic pacing sizzle with temptation and sensuality." (AudioFile Magazine)

Good story!

I really like the story, but I think it dragged out too long in places. Of course Joe Arden brings the story to life. Book is definitely entertaining.

a good story

I enjoyed this western historical romance story. I listened to it from audio. The narrator did a great job with reading the story. The main two characters were Sarah Calhoun and Jack Donovan.

Sarah Calhoun is  determined to restore honor to her family name. She want to be the most successful with her father newspaper print press.  But she having a hard time doing this because of the scandal that was in the her past.

Jack Donovan has finally decided to put the past behind him and make a new life.  He wants to have a wife and kids in the future. So when a sassy newspaper editor start to hound him about his past and what he doing.

This was a fun enjoyable story with a lot of laughter and adventure. And also some mystery to it.

I saw this on Audible and decided to give it a try. This is my honest unbiased opinion.

Ole donovan.

Joe is always a great narrator. I listened to the whole thing, and Donovan made me want to slap him a few times.

True love concers all

What happens to you as s child, form who you are as an adult.

Delightful!

This story has everything I enjoy in a great historical fiction romance and Debra Mullins spins an entertaining storyline. A dashing, mysterious new man in town with money and secrets, a skeptical newspaper woman who doesn’t trust him and a small town full of old gossiping biddies and outrageous characters sets the stage. Jack and Sarah are enemies from the start but the chemistry between them sizzles every time they spar. He knows she’s too nosey for her own good and he fights his attraction but that doesn’t stop him from giving in and pursuing her. Sarah is feisty, intelligent and haunted by her past but she can’t deny her attraction though she knows Jack is dangerous. I enjoyed their verbal sparring, their sexy flirting and this delightful journey back to 1880. I listened to the audiobook version and I loved the narration performance storytelling of Joe Arden. I really enjoyed his sexy voice whispering in my ears.
