Publisher's summary
Christmas was only three weeks away, and Duane Wilson had sent a telegram back to Ellen explaining that he had been injured in the Civil war and walked with a limp. It prevented him from dancing, but not from being a devoted parent or a loving husband. He loved children and had always wanted a family of his own to nurture and love. He would be happy to come now or wait until she had time to think about whether she could live with his disability. It would take 2 full days to get there by stagecoach, and another day to purchase a horse and ride out to her home.
If you're still interested, let me know...and I'll be home for Christmas!

Story
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Asher Donovan is a living legend—the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world. But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they’re forced to “bond” during off-season cross-training. Surviving the summer shouldn’t be hard…until Asher meets their new trainer. She’s beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t take his mind off her.

The only thing wrong with her is she was a tad bit taller than the other girls; well maybe quite a bit taller if she were being truthful. She had always been told she had a pretty face and figure; however, she guessed no man wanted to climb a ladder to talk to her. The orphanage where she had been living was now closed and she was all on her own with no money and she was wearing the only clothes she had. Panic began to sweep ...

Ok, so we all know that the cover is AI generated
And it’s read by text to speech. We know what we’re getting into, I mean, the book is set in 1870. With that in mind, look at the cover again. Weird, right?
However, I was surprised by the contents of the book. I did not expect it to be AI written, and I’m 90% sure it was, possibly without a human giving it a read afterwards.
There was no conflict in the book, nothing to overcome. It wasn’t structured like a normal story at all. Certain phrases were repeated frequently and for no reason. About halfway through, suddenly the church and god talk starts, though there was none or nearly none before that.
It was just… weird, and maybe worth a listen as long as you know it for the science experiment that it apparently is.
