I Loved it

I got this book via audiobook boom and this is my review. This is a beautiful western romance. It is a full story but left me wanting to get the next in the series. Sam and Laura's story. The story went from past to present and all in between but was easy to follow. I could feel all of the emotions that Sam was feeling and the narrator was just perfect for the book. I especially liked the scene between Sam and his mother. then the letter he wrote to apologize for his behavior. the ending was very well done. although the story did not fully end it was complete. Not a strong cliffhanger but one anyway.

A Good read / listen

A good post civil war novel, Lots of strong characters good & bad. A very good plot well edited and very well written and crafted.

Narration is excellent and draws you into the characters and story.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest reveiw.

Well Worth Your Credit and Time Investment

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Samuel Moses Cardiff wants to die. It's as simple as that. Worse still, he has spent a lifetime placing himself in positions that should guarantee his death. But he's just too good at what he does to die, and maybe he doesn't want to after all.

Sam would eventually drop his last name and simply be known as Sam Moses; and, if he ever laid down the law of Moses on you in his job as the town marshal, it usually meant you got very little mercy and probably didn't deserve any.

He had plans; he was going to graduate from a teacher's college in upstate New York, marry Patsy, his childhood sweetheart, and live a quiet life as a good husband, a good dad, and a good teacher. But all that changed when his kid brother, Luke, enlists to fight in the civil war. Sam's dad had died only days before he could return home from college, and his mother, more than a little distraught at Luke's decision, insists that Sam sign up and accompany his brother into battle. Her perspective is that Sam can protect his more flamboyant brother.

But fate intervenes, Luke dies, and Sam blames himself from that day forward for breaking his promise to his mother. Worse still, his fiance dies while he is at war.

His meaningless life is something Sam is eager to be rid of. He casts himself into situations that should guarantee his death, but they don't.

That's where we find Sam in post-civil-war New Mexico, where he has signed on as the marshal of a small town. The shield of bitterness he has erected around him ensures that his relations with members of the community are perfunctory and superficial--just the way Sam likes it.

But things change dramatically for Sam when he encounters Laura. She's married to a disabled veteran who credits her with saving him from himself.
