Running Away to Somewhere Better

We've all been between a rock and a hard place at one time or the other. Faith has had a hard life which has recently reached the breaking point. She's on the run, but from what? Then there's Luke McCutcheon. A strong man with strong values, but with hauntings of his own. This first book in the McCutcheon Family Series introduces you to the whole family, their ranch hands, and some of the townsfolk of Y Knot, Montana. This is also one of the towns in the Mail-Order Brides series, of which Caroline Fyffe and Debra Holland each write compelling stories about finding out who you really are and what you didn't even know you were looking for.

The audiobook is a real treat. Corey Snow does great work putting voice to all the colorful characters along with a few unsavory ones that let us know there are those we need to watch out for. And that there is always a need for heroes. You feel like your part of the family. With all the action and nail-biting suspense to keep you looking forward to chapter after chapter. I highly recommend it.

Truly wonderful listen by a truly wonderful author

What did you like best about this story?

There were so many, when Luke help give birth to Faith's baby, the wonderful cow to funny, the ending, how Luck showed respect and made love look like love and not lust. When Faith help deliver Luke's sister-in-laws baby.Really the whole dang story was outstanding.

Have you listened to any of Corey M. Snow’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I have not, at first he was an okay narrator but he soon pulls you in. Some of the voice were to close for me I had to really pay attention to know who was talking. Corey really did do a great job and has a lovely voice that you can listen to for hours.

Who was the most memorable character of Montana Dawn: McCutcheon Family Series, Book 1 and why?

For me it was the cow, I know that sounds weird. The way she was brought into it, the laughs you get from her and how things play out made her the best.

Any additional comments?

I haven't read any of Caroline Fyffe books that I have not love, she has a way of bring the West alive, you just wish you could turn the clock back and live in another time. You fall in love with her characters and wish they could be part of your family. The men are to die for, it would be a pleasure to have one of your own. I can never decide which one is my all time favorite I love them all. The ladies are just ladies, so sweet and kind. They are strong women who believe in standing and supporting them selves but always have room for the right man.

You have some wonderful characters here with each having lesson they must learn in life before they can go on to be the person they want to be. Luck who is wonderful, truly any women would be happy to fall for this half breed. He has to overcome his past and how he feels about his self before he can truly understand and make a life with Faith. He is a caring, loving family man who is waiting for the right women. Trust is a big issue with him and when Faith won't give him that he is ready to walk away. His mother has a few things to tell him that might just change how he thinks and bring him closer to the man he wants to be.

Faith has a past and she is on the run, her past is about to catch up with her in the worse way. Pregnant and along expect for her son, scared and not knowing which way to turn. Luke comes running up on his horse to safe the day. She agrees to go with him thinking if she stays with him for a little she has a better chance to out run the man chasing her. You luck runs out now she is in a tug of war of what to do. What is the best for her children and will she have to give in and marry her brother-in-law and live a life of hell again.

I truly enjoy each of Luke's family members each play a wonderful big part in this story. The cowhands were darlings as well as the adorable children. This story as most of Caroline does have lessons to remind us what is truly important in life. She gives love the true meaning and brings a compelling tale to all her stories. We get busy in today's world that we sometimes forget. Caroline always makes me remember why I fell for my husband, why he is my true hero in so many ways. She reminds me what is important and I give a little more TLC to my family.

The narrator has a very smooth and calming he puts just the correct amount of excitement into the listen. I did totally enjoy him but I have to say I like the other narrator she used in other books better. Don't get me wrong he did an outstanding job and it was a nice change. He does bring a lot to this story!

If you have not tried any of Caroline Fyffe books you really should. Her audio's are outstanding. One book or audio you will be hooked on the whole series.
