If one wants a tough, gritty hero, sweeping description of settings, a plot full of desperation and tension against the backdrop of the Old West, look no further.
The book grabbed me from the beginning with a hero desperately fleeing for his life and a woman’s bravery to keep him alive against the odds. It was a shorter piece, but it was well developed and paced well. The setting was the Arizona- Mexico border so the characters and their situations of that region were represented accurately along with the historical context.
The hero, Trace Jordan, was not deeply developed, but enough so that I got a feel for him and what motivated him. The heroine, Maria Christina’s background, was more explained.
The action was parts gun battles and parts desert survival along with a mild, yet stormy romance. I was eager to follow along and discover how they were going to get out of the tight corners.
It was an easy listen, exciting, and engaging novella-length story and I definitely recommend it for Western fiction fans.

This was my first time with the narrator, Keith Szarabajka. He had a good voice to match the tone and type of the book. Maria Christina was his only female voice, but I loved the way he captured her personality and the emotion of the overall story
