About this audiobook
Glory Day may be losing her vision, but that doesn't mean she'll ever stop fighting. Determined to provide for her struggling family, she confronts an outlaw with a price on his head. But when a mysterious cowboy gets between her and her target, Glory accidentally shoots him instead. Flustered, she has no option but to take the handsome stranger home to treat his wounds.
Former Texas Ranger Luke McClain didn't plan to fall in love, but there's no denying the strength of Glory's will or the sweetness of her heart. But Glory's been burned before, and Luke will have to reach into the depths of his own battered soul to convince her to take a chance . . .
And trust that love is worth fighting for.
Linda Broday
Linda Broday is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over thirty historical western romance novels and short stories. A third generation Texan, she finds lots of inspiration for her fictional cowboys on the West Texas short grass plains. She grew up watching TV westerns and fell in love with the strong men and women who settled this wild country. Those TV episodes, visits to museums, and countless books taught her the values, the strength it took to survive and the tremendous will to keep going when things got tough. On a still day, she swears she can often hear the voices of ancestors whispering in the wind. Writing is her passion and drives her to keep penning stories that focus heavily on children and family. In her family, she's the storyteller, the one who records ancestral history. Linda comes from a long line of poor but prideful people and she's happy with that. It's her legacy.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really liked this book. I first read Linda Broday last year when I decided to pick up the first book in this series, Knight on the Texas Plains, which I ended up loving. I knew as soon as I saw this book that I would have to read it and I am glad that I did. I really had a wonderful time getting to know Glory, Luke, and all the other characters in this story and wanted to see them get their happy ending.I loved the first meeting between Glory and Luke. Their paths do quickly cross in town but their first real meeting goes horribly wrong when Glory accidentally shoots Luke. She takes him home to tend to his wounds and let him recover. Luke gets to know the Day family pretty quickly since Glory's youngest sister, Patience, like to share whatever comes to her mind. Luke sees how much responsibility is on Glory's shoulders and seems to understand how troubled she is.I liked the characters in this story quite a bit. Luke was great. He is a really good man that wants to help. He will do the right thing and somehow seems to see things that others may miss. Glory was a strong character. She is tough and does what needs to be done to take care of her family. She has a lot of pride and wants to take care of things herself. It did drive me a bit nuts when she made a big deal of Luke's offer to help because she really needed the help but I understood why she behaved as she did. Glory's sisters, Hope and Patience, were wonderful. Hope was a a hard working girl who was a great support to her sisters and family. Patience was a wonderful child who added more than a few smiles to the story.I liked Luke and Glory together. I thought that their personalities really seemed to work well together. Luke didn't see Glory's responsibilities as a negative but was happy to take them on himself. Glory didn't always seem to know how to handle Luke and had a lot of doubts but she did care for him. I would have liked to see a bit more of Luke and Glory together. There seemed to be someone around to interrupt them during most of the scenes where they had a moment alone. I would recommend this book to others. I had a great time reading this wonderful romance filled with fantastic characters. This is the second book in the Texas Heroes series but could easily be read as a stand alone since it tells its own story. I look forward to reading more from Linda Broday very soon.I received an advance reader edition of this book from Sourcebooks Casablanca via NetGalley.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/52017 was the year of Linda Broday for me. This is my third book by her and after discovering her broken yet still courageous characters, I am officially a fan.While the main plot of this story was a romance, I loved that the backbone was family. Glory works hard to keep her family afloat and she puts their comfort and lives above all else, including her health. But the familial love wasn't only one sided:Hope lay on the bed and stroked Glory's back. "You're the glue, the driving force, that holds Mama, Patience, and me together. We can't just give up on life simply because you got a raw deal. I refuse to do that. A quiver filled her voice. "If you're not strong enough to fight, I'll do it for you until you can get some starch back in your spine."There were times I became frustrated with Luke and Glory not saying what they meant, but overall I enjoyed their relationship, from accidental shooting to confessions of love. Of course, this being the wild west, there are outlaws, cowboys, and certainly a few close calls. Luke is the brother of Duel McClain, the main character in Knight on the Texas Plains, but both books can be read as stand-alones.
