Description from the publisher:

She’s writing books her mama wouldn’t be proud of. He won’t risk his heart. But when matters of faith have them at odds, will love triumph? 



Madison agrees to a last-minute writers’ retreat. But with her anxiety at an all-time high, she seeks out quiet in the only place she’s sure to find it, the stables at the Dawson Creek Dude Ranch. While grateful for the solace, she can’t afford to rekindle her past with the sweet, handsome cowboy who keeps meeting her there. They are opposites in every way and she’s a fish out of water in his world. 



Cowboy Randal has to think about his future and his own ranch. His goals don’t include getting attached to an author, especially a feisty one who challenges him. And though he begins to hope for more, their instalove can’t last. 



As their week together draws to a close, can Madison and Randal find their common ground and risk a love for the ages? 



Hometown Hero is the first book in the inspiring Dawson's Valley contemporary Christian romance series. If you like natural and flawed characters, emotional journeys, and compelling faith-filled romance, then you’ll adore Kari Trumbo’s touching story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

HOMETOWN HERO is the first book in the Dawson’s Valley series.  It was also the second book in the multi-author Whispers in Wyoming series.  Each book is expected to be a stand-alone sweet romance.



This story is inspirational and is a fun, sweet, clean, Christian romance. 



I loved the growth of Madison and the patience of both Randal and Danica as Madison sought her answers and became an even sweeter version of herself.



This is one of three books that Kari Trumbo released in the Whispers in Wyoming Series.  I look forward to reading/listening to the other two.  Perhaps there will be even more.  Listening to this while doing chores and running errands made the time so much more enjoyable.



Narration:  Melie Williams gives great voice.  She does a beautiful job with pause and inflection and her tone is soothing.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via StoryOrigin, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
