I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Corey Snow. Montana Dawn is written like an old time historical romance from 20-years ago, which I enjoyed. There is just the right amount of sexual tension and the right amount of humor. The story centers on a cowboy Luke, the third son of Montana’s wealthy McCutcheon family, who falls for a young widow and mother, Faith, who is running away from a nightmarish life.Corey Snow's narration was excellent. She had good pace, inflections, and tone. I also liked the differing voices, not only between the genders, but the generations as well.What I didn't particularly like was Faith's waffling between whether or not she should trust Luke. He gave her no indication that he was anything like her deceased abusive husband and he is from a good natured family. It was unbelievable near the end of the book when she runs away when it is clear that Luke wants her to stay and become his wife and she wants the same. Besides those few scenes, which should have been deleted entirely, Montana Dawn was a nice way to pass a long car trip. Montana Dawn by Caroline Fyffe is a great western romance novel. It didn't take long at all for me to become engrossed in the story of Luke who in the middle of a rainstorm, finds a young boy along with her mother who is in labor! Faith is a young mother and she is hiding something, Luke is sure of it! Luke's character is completely intriguing; we find out that he has a different heritage from his brothers and finding out why is a complete surprise, yet a lovely way to round out the story. As a reader it was nice to read a book where both characters had something to learn about themselves. Montana Dawn is a good western full of cowboys, danger and a young woman who is hiding something from her past. I loved the romance along with the suspense and action! The best part of this book for me is the sense of family and belonging that Fyffe's novel embodies. The reader feels as though they are experiencing every event along with the characters. Her easy to read writing style will have the pages flying through this book that is sure to please!
