A Lady in Defiance

Romance in the Rockies

By: Heather Blanton

Narrated by: Angel Clark

His town. Her god. Let the battle begin.

Charles McIntyre owns everything and everyone in the lawless, godless mining town of Defiance. When three good, Christian sisters from his beloved South show up stranded, alone, and offering to open a "nice" hotel, he's intrigued enough to let them stay...especially since he sees feisty middle sister Naomi as a possible conquest. But Naomi, angry with God for widowing her, wants no part of Defiance or the saloon-owning, prostitute-keeping Mr. McIntyre. It would seem, however, that God has gone to elaborate lengths to bring them together. The question is, "Why?" Does God really have a plan for each and every life?

Told with gritty, but not gratuitous, realism uncharacteristic of historical Christian fiction, A Lady in Defiance gives a nod to both Pride and Prejudice and Redeeming Love. The story, based on true events, is an "ensemble" piece that deftly weaves together the relationships of the three sisters and the rowdy residents of Defiance.

Includes bonus material! Get a sneak peek at the sequel, Hearts in Defiance!

Good clean story

So nice to not deal with sex & profanity.
This is a sweet story a lil unrealistic, but
that’s not a bad thing.

Loved it

great story... can't wait to dive into Book 2 and see how the story goes from there...

Gritty, Emotional, Raw, and Forgiveness!

Would you listen to A Lady in Defiance again? Why?

Yes, I would listen again. It was a very compelling story. The characters were well written. The story was very well told, I felt as if I were in Defiance with the sisters. Seeing, hearing and feeling all the things they did.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Lady in Defiance?

For me, one of the most memorable moments was when Naomi was pouring her heart out to God by the water's edge and Mr. McIntyre was listening in the shadows. I think it was a crucial point in changing his heart even if he didn't know it yet.

Which character – as performed by Angel Clark – was your favorite?

I liked her portrayal of Ian. Her Scottish brogue was very good. She also showed the care in his voice for Rebecca and concern for his friend/business partner McIntyre.

If you could take any character from A Lady in Defiance out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I think I'd like to take Rebecca out to dinner. She is the oldest sister yet Naomi is the protector. I would like to know how that came to be.

Any additional comments?

I look forward to reading/listening to more from Heather Blanton in the future.

Christian Western Romance in Defiance, CO

While too actively Christian for my tastes, I can see how my mom and mother-in-law would have loved this well performed audiobook for its plot based Christian witnessing, positioned in an engaging romantic plot of three sisters who have faced life struggles before ending up in a rough mining town in 1870's Colorado.

Artistic....I really like author's works

Author is really good at making me think about judgemental pre-conceived notions we Christians often carry. This book was good!

A must read

I don’t usually write reviews but i had to write this one. I loved this book. The story was wonderful i have to say i had cold chills alot through out the book. I absolutely adore angel clark narration in this book and all the other ones she has done. What a wonderful story line definitely makes you think.

Very enjoyable book!

Loved this book. A few fun surprises that developed the story. I definitely recommend .

Taming the Wild West

The story of the three women moving to a wild west town was intriguing but slow moving. The story was engaging with good guys and bad guys. There was also evil then the compelling spirit filled prayer. I felt like some of the people‘s personalities could’ve been fleshed out more, but overall, I enjoyed the story.
