About this listen
Alberta Freemont, the daughter of a prominent Boston politician knows all about the need to marry well and that love isn't always a consideration. Yet, she finds herself alone and with no husband as her friends are all beginning to marry and have children. Longing for a child of her own, she is prepared to take matters in to her own hands, but will she find more than she bargained for in the wilds of Montana?
Gideon MacAlpine wants to be Governor of Montana, but he doesn't want a wife. He loves his bachelor life, but will the public ever trust a man who cannot even commit to one woman? Feeling the pressure to conform, he prays that a solid political match will suit his needs, but will he find that he wants more after all?

Oh Gideon!
Just when I thought I found my favorite couple, I listen to this one. This book had me with Gideon. Gideon wanted to be the Governor o f Montana, but he needed a wife. Alberta was the daughter of a Boston politician and had all the connections Gideon needed. Perfect combination..she would get the family she wanted, he would get the election results he wanted. Little did they realized that love was on the horizon. Gideon, for all intents and purposes, did not want to fall in love, but I have to say, he was incredibly romantic right before their wedding(I don't want to give anything away!) Another winner by Karla Gracey!
Alan Taylor brings it again....love his voice for this series.
