Story
“Luke” Hamilton has been living as a husband and father for the past 17 years. No one but her wife, Nora, knows she is not the man she appears to be. They have raised their daughters to become honest and hard-working young women, but even with their loving foundation, Amy and Nattie are hiding their own secrets. Just as Luke sets out on a dangerous trip to Fort Boise, a newcomer arrives on the ranch - Rika Aaldenberg, who traveled to Oregon as a mail-order bride, hiding that she’s not the woman in the letters.

When Cassie Klein goes to an off-campus bar to escape her school’s Family Weekend, she isn’t looking for a hookup—it just happens. Buying a drink for a stranger turns into what should be an uncomplicated, amazing one-night stand. But then the next morning rolls around and her friend drags her along to meet her mom—the hot, older woman Cassie slept with. What should have been a one-time fling quickly proves impossible to ignore, and soon Cassie and Erin are sneaking around. Worst of all, they start to realize they have something real. But is being honest about it worth the cost?

Falling stars are supposed to be a lucky sign, but not for Austen. Her new job as a secretary in an international games company isn't off to a good start. Her first assignment - decorating the Christmas tree in the lobby - results in a trip to the ER after Dee, the company's second-in-command, gets hit by the star-shaped tree topper. Dee blames her instant attraction to Austen on her head wound, not the magic of the falling star. She's determined not to act on it, especially since Austen has no idea that Dee is practically her boss.

Story
Ellie Fisher loves most things about being a nurse in the emergency department . . . just not working with Regina Novak, an icy attending physician who acts as if she's God's gift to medicine. The dislike is completely mutual. Regina thinks Ellie is a starry-eyed romantic with a sentimental attitude that has no place at work. When Regina gets talked into volunteering at a singles auction, Ellie accidentally bids on her—and ends up winning. Oops! Since the money raised is for a good cause, they reluctantly decide to go through with the dates.

After the death of her grandmother, reluctant heiress Madilyn Marak agrees to stay with her grandfather at the estate for the summer. There, she finds an old diary hidden in an antique desk in the attic—The Apple Diary—written by her great-grandmother Isabel. In there, she finds the love story of Isabel and Lorah, along with a photograph of the two young women from 1933.

For solitary novelist Jorie Price, true love seems as fictional as the shape-shifting creatures she writes about in her paranormal romances. Griffin Westmore doesn't believe in love, either, but she's one of those not-so-fictional shape-shifters who secretly live among humans. When Jorie's writing gets uncomfortably close to the truth, Griffin is sent to investigate and, if necessary, kill the author to protect the secrets of her kind. But when Griffin unexpectedly finds herself drawn to Jorie, her world is turned upside down.

Again and again
I’m not ashamed to say I have read or listened to a lot of lesbian romantic fiction. This is one of the best. The story is fantastic and the narrator does such a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. When I don’t know what to read next, I always know I can come back to this book and its sequel.

This story will stay with me
It's not often I say this - I didn't want this book to end. Although I don't usually read 'historical' fiction, I should have known this would be a quality piece of work - it is written by Jae after all. I truly enjoyed the narration as well. This is the kind of book that I will be thinking about for a long time. I'm looking forward to listening to the sequel as well.

Terrific story. Narrator needs work.
I love historical fiction and this is a great story. It brings out many aspects of the travelling of the Oregon Trail that I hadn't thought of before. However, the narrator threw me off a bunch of times - words that were mispronounced, pauses in awkward places in the sentence. I would think twice before buying an audiobook with this narrator again.

Amazing!!!
I loved the book. I loved the author. Now, I love this Narrator (capitol N).
One teeny tinytiny issue is that Luke said Nora's lines twice. That's it. I love it all.

This story hit home
I typically don’t listen to historical romances but JAE has a way of writing these stories that really pull me in. And this story really affected me. For anyone who has felt like they had to hide their true selves (even from the people closest to them) for fear of harm or rejection, this story is just so relatable and so touching. The narration was also top notch. Brody Cowan’s voice was annoyingly nasal but there were so many characters, male and female and each one had a distinct voice that matched the personality of the character. That’s incredibly hard to do. Amazing job, Hayden Bishop

Nice story, loved the setting, narrator was distracting
The story was good and engaging, an easy read without too much unnecessary drama. Great perspective on an LGBT relationship in the 1800’s.
The narrator on the other hand was just a distraction to the story and not a help. Her character voices were hard to listen to at times, but the main problem was how many words she mispronounced! I don’t know how an audiobook gets made at this level and they leave in so many mispronounced and even flubbed words.
I do recommend the story and if you can look past the issues with the narration it’s definitely worth a listen.
