Hilly Creighton likes to write romance novels, although there is not much romance nor thrill in her life. She passes by Tombstone on her way to visit her brother, when a cave just outside town suddenly draws her attention. Some months later, she decides to visit Tombstone again with the intention of getting inspired to write a book. In Tombstone, meeting Clint, a reenactment actor, will change her life forever.
I am not really into romance, but the time travel and Western elements in this book were what got me decided to listen to it. Okay, the fact that the book is narrated by Michelle Babb was my first reason, but those two details were also important. I have listened to other books by McBride and, although I prefer her cozy mysteries, the setting in this book was quite appealing. I missed having a bit more action, but Hilly and Clint’s story was entertaining, and there were subtle suspense moments that added to the story.
I have already said that my main reason to listen to this book was that it is narrated by Michelle Babb. I have nothing other than good things to say about her performance, not only of this audiobook but all her other works. Babb has a special talent to transport you to where the actions are taking place and bring the characters to life. Bab’s style is fresh and her character interpretations sound natural, like you were listening to real people. Each character has a distinctive style and voice, which makes following dialogs easy and effortless.
It was a light and pleasant listen, just what I needed during these difficult times that we are living. Something to take my mind off the current world problems.

My name is Elena. Since I was a little child I loved science fiction and fantasy, and I can’t resist a good novel. In 2015, while wait I started to listen to audiobooks and I discovered the pleasure in being able to read while doing my daily tasks, so there’s always an audiobook playing on my phone. If you see me with my Bluetooth headphones on, please be gentle, I get easily startled.
I live with my boyfriend, which I met during my six-year stay in Belgium, four cockatiels, eight lovebirds, and a hamster in Madrid, Spain; and I like to spend my free time knitting and sewing while listening to audiobooks.
