Good story

The story was very touching. J Rodney Turner is a very good narrator. He makes the story come alive.

Highly verbose

Nice long western to listen to while traveling.
The story was though with well developed characters but oh so wordy.

McCabe Series is Awesome

I love the entire series. I've been looking for a good solid western series with decent narration and this one goes above and beyond my expectations. The narration is gritty, raw, and that deep sexy gravilly voice that I love served up with my westerns. Very smooth narration.
I particularly love this first book and the rich characters and histories it introduces to the audience.
I don't think romance is this authors strong suit, but I don't need much romance in my westerns - the way they live and the rich descriptions of the landscapes is enough romance for me with a western. Plenty of positive things about this series/book - like all series there are a couple of so/so books - but sometimes I think that has to do with the characters we have come to like and which ones we really aren't invested in that sways our interest in a book within a series. But Brad Dennison really has a talent for bringing characters to life with rich personalities. By the time I got to Johnnie McCabe in the series I was really pleased with the author's improvement in character interaction and it reminded me a little of Larry McMurtry - which is a HUGE compliment.
Highly recommend this series.

Cowboys and Gentlemen

Rugged cowboy excitement and the moments of tenderness kept me intrigued with the storyline. I enjoyed this book very much.

Distinct Vocal Characters

My first 19th century western. The descriptions were vivid and colorful. The plot was interesting and kept my attention. Some of the concepts seemed more 21st century and a little unbelievable. The reading was very well done with good distinctions most the time between characters. The whispery quality of the reader’s voice was sometimes annoying because I couldn’t get the volume high enough to be heard while doing household chores.
