About this listen

Being a fugitive in the Old West shouldn’t be this much fun. The year is 1860. Robby Riverton is a rising star on the New York stage. But he witnesses a murder by a famous crime boss and is forced to go on the run - all the way to Santa Fe.

When he still can't seem to ditch his pursuers, he disguises himself as a mail-order bride he meets on the wagon train. Caught between gangsters who want to kill him and the crazy, uncouth family of his "intended", Robby's only ally is a lazy sheriff who sees exactly who Robby is - and can't resist him.

Trace Crabtree took the job as sheriff of Flat Bottom because there was never a thing going on. And then Robby Riverton showed up disguised as a woman and betrothed to Trace’s brother. If that wasn’t complicated enough, Trace finds the man as appealing as blueberry pie. He urges Robby to stay undercover until the danger has passed.

But a few weeks of having Robby-Rowena at the ranch and the Crabtree family will never be the same again.

Excellent hilarious adventure romp of Mr Robby/Rowena and Sheriff Trace fantastically narrated and dramatized by Matthew Shaw. This story has it all, and will leave you in tears at the end. Mere words cannot express the feelings of fun, well-being and love experienced whilst listening to the goings on and banter between all the characters. Shocking to find what goes on the paddock out back!!!. This story lifted my mood like no other book I've had on Audible; I smiled for the whole 7.5 hrs. Great unexpected book. Don't let the title and cover put you off. RECOMMENDED

How the West was Won? Long Live Robby Riverton !

What a charming story. Something totally different from Eli Easton, but even so, as with the majority of her books, I couldn't wait to get hold of it.

As one would expect from Matthew Shaw, the narrative flow engages you from the word go. There's a bit of everything here : comedy, fun, and romance, with a bit of suspense thrown in. The characters are wonderful, the MCs and secondary, all playing their part.

Robby was a force to be reckoned with, both as his true self and as Rowena, as both he was incredibly engaging. His dealings with Pa-Pa were gold. Pa-Pa truly met his match in Rowena/Robby. Also, Robby and the phlegmatic Trace were a match made in heaven.

This is such an enjoyable story, it was warm, funny and entertaining and made me smile. The ending was perfect. I'd love to hear more about Robby and the Crabtrees.

Loved this, such a good story.
