But with Hume insisting on marrying her anyhow, she seeks refuge with her estranged uncle. Disguising herself as an Englishman, Sydney flees the city on a westbound train.

Christian Historical Romance

While the beginning and the ruse was hard to bear, by the time her secret is out, it only gets... harder? She's lost her best friend and is afraid of being all alone in this world, but he finally comes to grips with his feelings for her after she turns her life over! A magical ending, whoops, that's not what happens next, either! I guess you'll just have to read it for yourself!
I enjoyed the narration, but there were a few times I couldn't distinguish who was talking by the voice alone.

funny

Quite an engaging tale of women from a past era, expectations, formalities, and such...finishing Part 1 of this story I am looking forward to the next part...it has made me laugh out loud!

Narration was lively, however…

The story just seemed to go on too long. Hero was a preachy, condescending know-it-all who held zero appeal. I liked him Less as the story went along and could not understand the attraction the heroine professed to have for him. Despite that, the writing was actually good and provided a few laugh out loud moments. So it’s basically a 3 star read for me.

Disappointed

Started off funny and wholesome. Became very churchy in a judgment sort of way. Would have you believe Sidney was an atheist and simpleton when it came to God and religion but the opinionated judge mental cowboy could turn her around. Please!

One of my all time favorite books!

I have listened to this story (3) times already…. Have recommended this book over and over again! Story is so funny!
Cute read.

Author has religious agenda

Any additional comments?

As a secularist, I would have appreciated someone describing the book containing long passages about the value of knowing Jesus and discussing bible quotations. I'm sure this is great for some readers, but it's not for everyone.

Fun and funny

I really enjoyed this book. This author wrote a good book. This is a good narrator and easy to listen to.

intertaining great story a classic

Cahty Marie Hake is quickly becoming my favorite Author she is whitty and wild never boring this story is funny and keeps me expecting more so far none of her books have left me wanting except for more talented story teller and the reader acts the chacters well there are a lot of them too and she keeps up with them well i loved it

sweet

This s is a sweet predictable story. a little bibal thumping. I could see John Wayne as the hero. easy listening. If you want a heavier read this will not satisfy you.

Great!

"Fancy Pants" was a great listen! The speaker had a great voice and used a variety of voices for the characters. It was a very smooth transition between people.
