If you are looking for a fun, light read this is the one for you. It could be listed under Christian fiction but I fear the label would do it an injustice. The novel is set in the Wild West and located in Texas. There is a robber gang on the loose, holding up trains and people at gun point. The Texas Rangers have been after this guy for several years and he always seems to slip away at the last minute. Georgie Gail is the first woman switchboard operator for the burgeoning telephone company. She is very proud of her position and her importance in the community. The Rangers have put one of their very best undercover as a telephone 'trouble man' working next to Georgie. Trouble is Luke Palmer is very handsome and very exasperating. What is a woman like Georgie to do?
The narrator does an excellent job with the characters in the story. With just a slight change in tone we know it is a male or female and if they are young or old. I enjoyed having a story that moved along at its own gentle pace knowing these two people are slowing falling for each other. The plot telegraphed everything right down the central line. No surprises there. Sometimes that was aggravating but it didn't last long. It is perfect for people who don't want any swear words or heavy romantic scenes. District only has book in Large Print along with the audio.
