About this audiobook
With over two million copies of her books in print, Lori Wick consistently tops the Christian best-selling fiction lists. Delighting fans with her versatility, she transports readers sometimes to Victorian England, sometimes to the American frontier, and always into the minds and hearts of her characters. In the summer of 1882, Dakota Rawlings, Texas Ranger, is still recuperating from an ambush that nearly killed him. Not yet fit for duty, the bored ranger eagerly accepts the opportunity to escort his boss' beautiful daughter, Darvi, to the train station in Aurora. The trip won't be difficult, and he'll get to share his newly found faith with her. But Darvi is kidnapped from the train and held hostage, and Dakota must singlehandedly solve the mystery of her disappearance and stage a daring rescue. Surrounded by a world of shady quests for money and power, Darvi and Dakota inspire listeners with their burgeoning love and faith. Ed Sala's expert narration evokes a sense of nostalgia as he brings this fragment of the old Wild West to life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed this storyline very much! It was written with excellence!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What a refreshing book!
Seeing the transformation of Darby as Christ worked in her heart was a strong point along with waiting to show intimate affection until after the expression of true love from each of them. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is book two in the series and although you could read it as a stand alone, it would be much better if you read book one first, so you could get some background on Dakota Rawlings. This is a story of two people who have just recently come to a saving faith in the Lord. They are growing in their walk with the Lord and at the same time, without either really being aware of it, they are growing in their relationship to each other. I appreciated so much the way the author weaved the scriptures into this story, in a very real and natural way. It was a good view of the thoughts and feelings and issues people experience when a loved one doesn't understand the decisions one makes for eternity.Dakota is a Texas Ranger healing from a shoot-out he was involved in. While he is not on the job he offers to take his boss' niece, Darvi, to visit her close friend in another town. From there we go to Darvi being kidnapped, to Dakota rescueing her, to Darvi going back to St. Louis, to Dakota finally realizing that the feelings he has for Darvi are more than just friendship. It was a most unusual kidnapping and there seemed to be alot of little stories inside this one story. I am a BIG fan of Lori Wick and she did another great job. Her books just make you feel good after having read them. I am looking forward to book 3 next!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lori Wick is one of my fovorite Christian novelists. The seamless way she crafts her stories amaze me. "A Texas Sky" is no exception. The story is set in Texas during the late 1800s and tells the way a kidnapping ends in romance. The descriptions are rich in detail and the plot kept me turning the pages. When you read this book, look for the way Lori Wick portrays the villians as deluding themselves.
