Story
The hardscrabble folks of Troublesome Creek have to scrap for everything - everything except books, that is. Thanks to Roosevelt's Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, Troublesome's got its very own traveling librarian, Cussy Mary Carter. Cussy's not only a book woman, however, she's also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble.

So I guess this is a part of history I really had no idea about & now it makes me want to know more! I know someone through work that was a “blue baby” but it’s a completely different situation, so I found this really interesting.
Can’t wait to read the next book.

This book may be historical fiction, but it is absolutely amazing!
It's my first read by the author, but it won't be my last. The plot and character development were great, along with fantastic narration.

Story
I tried to put one man in prison. Then three men took me hostage. I knew going after one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the world would be dangerous, but I didn't anticipate being dragged from my apartment already sore, sorry, and shamefully used. My captors don't just plan to teach me a lesson and then let me go. They plan to share me, punish me, and claim me so ruthlessly I'll be screaming my submission into the sheets long before they're through with me. They took me as a hostage, but they'll keep me as theirs.

I'm not one to leave bad reviews, so I'll say this: the narration could have been better & the actual storyline failed to take up a majority of the book.
And yes, I've read RH before so that's not the issue.

Rhiannon Hunter may have revolutionized romance in the digital world, but in real life she only swipes right on her career - and the occasional hookup. The cynical dating app creator controls her love life with a few key rules: nude pics are by invitation only; if someone stands you up, block them with extreme prejudice; protect your heart. Only there aren't any rules to govern her attraction to her newest match, former pro-football player Samson Lima. The sexy and seemingly sweet hunk woos her one magical night...and disappears.

Wow! Why did I wait so long to listen to this one?!?! I loved this so much 😍😍 The characters, the plot, the pacing PERFECT in my opinion.
Up to date story with some sentimentality thrown in for us on the cusp of starting to feel old.
A MUST READ & LISTEN!!

A good ending to the entire With Me in Seattle Series. The narration on this one (in my opinion missed the mark), but not every narrator is for everyone.
