About this listen
Patience Cavanaugh has lost hope in romance. The man she yearned to marry is dead, and her dreams are gone with him. Now she is consumed with restoring a dilapidated boardinghouse in order to support herself.
Despite Patience's desire for solitude, Jedediah Jones, the local marshal with a reputation for hanging criminals, becomes an ever-looming part of her life. It seems like such a simple arrangement: She needs someone with a strong back to help her fix up the boardinghouse. He needs a dependable source of food for himself and his prisoners. But as she gets to know this "hanging lawman", Patience finds there is far more to him than meets the eye - and it could destroy their tenuous relationship forever.
With a keen eye for historical detail and a deft hand at romantic tension, Maggie Brendan invites you to a Montana gold rush boomtown where vices and virtues are on full display and love is lying in wait.

To that end, he called on Maddie Chancelor, the local postmistress, whose younger brother was in firm need of discipline. Sam wasn't sure what to expect - but it was definitely not this graceful woman whose prim, proper stance was so at odds with the fire in her eyes.

There was trouble in Haven, Arizona, and Ranger Sam O'Ballivan was determined to sort it all out. He arrived posing as the new schoolteacher, and his first order of business was to bring the rough ranchers' children under control. To that end, he called on Maddie Chancelor, the local postmistress, whose younger brother was in firm need of discipline. Sam wasn't sure what to expect - but it was definitely not this graceful woman whose prim, proper stance was so at odds with the fire in her eyes.

Abigail Brantley grew up in affluence and knows exactly how to behave in high society. But when she is cast from the social registers due to her father's illegal dealings, she finds herself forced into a role she never imagined: tutoring rough Kansas ranchers in the subjects of manners and morals so they can "marry up" with their mail-order brides.

As she pursues her seemingly absurd quest, horrible realities spark the question, “What kind of a God would allow such tragedy?”

Good story, though it dragged in places.
The characters were interesting, the reading was done well. The flow of the story slowed down in places.

Likable Characters, But a Bit Too Sentimental
Overall, this is a good story with engaging characters. I liked that they were multidimensional. There's enough going on with the plot to keep your attention: romance, character growth, a bit of a mystery. However the overly sentimental tone really started to get to me after a while.
If you're in the mood for something in this vein, it won't disappoint. But if you get impatient with Hallmark movies, you might want to pass on this one.
P.S. The narration was great.

Another great Christian book
I loved this book. It was great to hear the author's note at the end of the book. to know that some of the places were real places and some of the people were real people. I really appreciated that it is a clean book. I highly recommend this book to one and all. I am waiting for Ms brennan to write more books.

Boring
I’m sorry, I finished the audiobook; but wasn’t a fan at all. I wasn’t aware the book was a religious book. Nothing against religion; but I’m not interested in reading books like this one.
