About this listen
It’s 1916, and Idaho rancher Cleo Arlington knows everything about horses but nothing about men. So when charged with transforming English aristocrat Sherwood Statham from playboy into cowboy, she’s totally disconcerted. So is Statham, who’s never encountered a woman succeeding in a “man’s world”. Their bumpy trot into romance is frustrating, exhilarating, and ultimately heartwarming.

Silver Matlock and Jared Newman know traveling together is a bad idea. Bad for Silver's already tarnished reputation in her small Colorado town. Bad for bounty hunter Jared's secret, single-minded mission for revenge. But Silver is determined to track down the rogue who left her at the altar and stole the last remnant of her father's fortune. And Jared's in a hurry to hunt down the murderer who destroyed his family - even if Silver is too distractingly beautiful for comfort. The pair takes off, hot on the trail of the two villains who took what wasn't theirs to take.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I wouldn't recommend this book, the plot is OK but the narrator didn't differentiate among the characters and I often had trouble knowing who was talking. I don't wish to be preached to or receive religious instruction in my recreational reading so the religious messages were not welcome. If an author wants to push their religious beliefs then they should label a book honestly and clearly as christian fiction - so I know to stay away.I've read better

Middle of a great trilogy

Would you try another book from Robin Lee Hatcher and/or Kathy Garver?
Yes.What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I thought Cleo's personality and tom boy behavior was the most interesting. I thought Sherwood's change seemed a little quick.What about Kathy Garver’s performance did you like?
I loved the way the narrator used different accents and tonality for different characters. After a few chapters, I was easily able to recognize each character by the tone of her voice.Was Fit to Be Tied worth the listening time?
Yes.Any additional comments?
While very entertaining, I felt the story line became very predictable by the middle of the book. But, I was glad I finished through to the end. It was a sweet romance, worth the time.Sweet story

Lovely story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
While I liked Cleo, I had a harder time identifying with her than I did with Gwen. I think it was what seemed to me to be her conflicting character traits. On one hand, she's a tomboy most at home wrangling horses and herding cattle who can't stand being in a dress. At the same time, however, she really wants to find a husband and have children. While I don't believe that it's impossible for those two desires to exist in the same person, I didn't feel that Robin Lee Hatcher did a great job of reconciling the two.
I think the thing that keeps Robin Lee Hatcher from being one of my favorite authors is the way that she glosses over what seem to me to be major parts of the story. This was especially true in Sherwood's case. Without giving too much away, supposedly he underwent a major transformation in the book, but we never really saw that happen. We just saw him one way, and then suddenly he was different. I felt the same way about the relationship between Cleo and Sherwood. Because of that, I still have a hard time really picturing them as a couple.
One advantage that "Fit to Be Tied" had over "A Vote of Confidence," however, was the narration. I think Kathy Garver had an easier time distinguishing between the male and female voices in this book without going too overboard. Some of the characters still had the creepy, vocal fry type voice from the first book, but at least she didn't have to do that with Sherwood, since she could set him apart with an English accent.
Overall, I thought "Fit to Be Tied" was a pleasant read to continue the series, but only because I was already acquainted with the characters and the town. If this had been the first book in the trilogy, I'm not sure that I would have continued with the rest of them.
Not bad, but liked the first one better

This author just gets better and better if that is possible and the narrator did a fabulous job! Cannot wait to start the next book in this series!!
