stealing the preacher by karen witemeyer

I think it's that she kept a very pronounced Texas accent during the descriptions and narrative parts, not just in the dialogue, which I think is more normal, isn't it? I'm sure the narrator would be great in something else, but after such great books with excellent narration in the past, I was disappointed to the point of not even being able to listen to the book. I think one of the main problems was that she sounds old. I'm so glad I read it instead of having the narrator's voice in my head for hours. I was intrigued, laughed out loud, and finished the book in 2 days. Crockett maintained his teasing character from Short Straw Bride and his love interest, Joanna, was incredibly sweet. I really enjoyed the story and the characters. And it was great! It continues the story of the Archer brothers, following Crockett on his way to becoming a preacher. WHY!? WHY would you pick such a person to narrate the book after how GREAT the last 4 were!? I had been looking forward to this story for a while, as I've become a fan of the author, but I couldn't listen to this book. I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of this book. I've listened to MANY books, a few of which had horrible narrators. With her signature blend of humor, history, and lively western romance, two-time RITA Award finalist and best-selling author Karen Witemeyer delivers a Texas love story sure to steal your heart. Is there any way she can convince Crockett he ended up right where he was supposed to be? But just when it seems her prayers have been answered, it turns out the parson is there against his will and has dreams of his own calling him elsewhere.

A man to assist her in fulfilling a promise to her dying mother. A man to breathe life back into the abandoned church at the heart of her community. He's determined to escape - which would be much easier if he could stop thinking about Joanna Robbins and her unexpected request.įor months, Joanna had prayed for a minister. On his way to interview for a position at a church in the Piney Woods of Texas, Crockett Archer can't believe it when he's forced off the train by an outlaw and presented to the man's daughter as the preacher she requested for her birthday. An outlaw's daughter who wants to change his mind.
