A Gown of Spanish Lace

Women of the West, Book 11

By: Janette Oke

Narrated by: Aimee Lilly

Ariana loves her life as a schoolteacher in a little frontier town. But one evening after classes are done and she prepares to hurry home, her life changes in an instant when a band of rough outlaws abduct her and take her far away from all she has ever known. Trapped in a small shack, Ariana prays and waits, her emotions swinging between terror and boredom as days stretch into weeks. Still, the outlaws refuse to tell her why they've taken her or what they plan to do.

Then the boss' son appears in the doorway of her cabin. He seems different from the others, but can she trust him? Will she ever again see her mother and father, the couple who lovingly adopted her and raised her as their own? Will she ever wear the beautiful wedding dress so carefully saved for her - her one remaining link to her birth parents?

I love this book

I love this book it always leaves me with a happy heart. I did not like the narration it was too quiet, but overall it was good

Good book

Good read was very well written. kept you in suspense all the way through the book

Wonderful Story!

A very Good listen and a touching story. You won’t regret listening to this very romantic but pure.

Excellent book!

It good to know about other people’s struggles, and how God works them out, if we’re just patient. We just have to remember to to pray & trust. I do wish the book reader had a clearer voice though.

Favorite story, missing content!

This is my favorite Jeanette Oke story, and I was excited to listen, but there is a lot of content missing. Some of the missing content is important for building conflict and some of the best dialogue. Very disappointed.

The narrator does a pretty good job, except she gets breathy and whispery when citing the lines of the main character.

The volume is very quiet.

Abridged. They left out large chunks of the story.

This is one of my favorite Janette oke stories, but it was hard to enjoy with the muffled, audio and missing large chunks of the story. I hope they make a better quality unabridged version soon.

This is an abridgment and has poor audio quality

I absolutely love "A Gown of Spanish Lace"; however, this recording leaves much to be desired. First the audio is horrible, very quiet and muffled. It is also an abridgment which was a disappointment because it is harder to follow the storyline and the meat of the story is missing. If you want to enjoy this story then get a copy of the book and read it because this audiobook will disappoint.

Great Audiobook!😇 Small abridged version.

Best of the women of the west series!😆 I live in West Texas where the legendary Judge Roy Bean and Buffalo Soldiers fought to tame the west. New story's of the battle of the Alamo are being found everyday here.😉 This book is so accurate in its details. Professionally told and narrated.😇 Great Christian writing and true to how Jesus helped tame the west.

This was my absolute favorite book as a young teen. I listened for fun and wasn’t disappointed! I will always love Janette Oak’s beautiful novels.

Disappointed

I love Janette Oke! I especially love this story but did not like that there were huge chunks missing. If your gonna have a audio presentation keep the whole book!!!!
