A Stolen Heart (Cimarron Creek Trilogy Book #1)

This is book one in the Cimarron Creek Trilogy, what a great place to start. I love the authors style and how she develops her characters. I was thrilled to learn this was a start of the series, for I wanted to learn more about some of the characters in her story. Lydia Crawford, a yankee, finds herself at the mercy of southerns when she gets to Cimarron Creek, Texas and things are not what she expects. She is a determined, beautiful woman with nowhere else to go. Lydia must learn to trust men, especially when many strange things are happening in their nice little town. Travis Whitfield, the handsome sheriff, must find all the clues to the many different mysteries and twist and turns taking place in his town and in his life. He is not expecting the beautiful Lydia Crawford to completely change his way of thinking. I loved the many different personalities in this novel and all the mysteries, romance, family, forgiveness and friendships that are in it. I look forward to reading more from this series.

What a great beginning to a new series.I love the way Amanda takes you right into her setting and introduces you to her characters. She is so talented in the way she makes you feel like you are right there. Cimarron Creek is the typically small Texas town. Everybody knows every body and they know there business as well. Some of the characters are so endearing you can't help but fall in love with them right away. But there is also those who have to grow on you. I enjoyed meeting the people in this town and can not wait to learn more about them.

Review of audible book! Loved every bit of this story and narration! Suspense, mystery, angst but true love winning out! Taking place years after the civil war, but tensions still high from northerners moving to Texas. The narrator was perfect and with the inventive storyline, all worked together very well. Cannot wait to listen to more of this trilogy of this town that is being created!
