First, narrator Czandra does a terrific job. Second, I enjoyed this book tremendously, until the last chapter. A cabin in the woods is my 'happy place' and the more wildlife, the better. But! As soon as the romance begins, Miranda loses all power of rational thought or behavior. I don't know if the author was desperate for his version of a happy ending, but it ended badly for everyone except the young man.
Not the ending I was hoping for

Spoiler Alert Don’t read before listening. The young man won her love through dishonesty. Had Miranda know the reason for his danger, she may well have felt differently about him. I know I would have !!! Possibly would still have saved him, but definitely not married him ! Thoroughly enjoyable up until the last chapter. Very well read also.

I loved this story. Of course it's quite fantastic. How could anyone keep chickens and cows with so many large predators about? However, the tension between man and beast was very well distributed throughout the book. And Proof lived up to her name ❤️🩹
