About this listen
Incredibly entertaining, unlikely romantic adventure.
Times are changing. Women are organizing. Suffrage and prohibition are the topics on everyone’s lips.The temperance movement is devastating saloonkeeper Emmett Boyd’s life: tearing his family apart, slowly destroying his business. When temperance mavens block the entrance to his establishment one spring evening, he is less than amused.
Schoolteacher Nettie Gordon is an independent, modern woman who is living her dream; a modest life by most standards. Her bicycle is her pride and joy. Her favorite pursuits are embroidery and tending houseplants while avoiding men at all costs.
Could Emmett Boyd change Nettie’s opinion of men forever? One thing seems clear. Miss Gordon wants no part of the “beast behind the bar” nor any of his crazy family.
Drive through the streets of Los Angeles in Emmett’s brand-new Buick. Visit Abbot Kinney’s Venice by the Sea. See a film in California’s first movie theater—located in a tent on Spring Street. And skate at one of the new roller rinks popping up on every street corner.
- This one is right up there with my favorite books of all time.
- A page turner.
- A must read for California history buffs and romance novel enthusiasts.
- Couldn't put it down!
Enjoy the drama and the fun of Catching Nettie Gordon. Get started by clicking “Look inside” above.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Newly widowed and stuck in a middle-aged funk, Poppy has been running on cookies, infomercials, and one-sided chats with her cat for months. There's no way on earth she's attending her 25-year class reunion - especially after receiving a very bizarre letter from Barbie, the popular cheerleader who taunted her all through high school. At least, not until Poppy's best friend practically drags her to the event.... Using the dreaded homecoming as an excuse to visit her eccentric Aunt Ginny, Poppy vows to leave Cape May with pride and Spanx intact. Too bad Barbie is still the queen of mean.

Story
In a world where every detail of life - down to the width of a hat brim - is dictated by God and the all-powerful rules of the community, two men dare to imagine a different way. At 18, Isaac Byler knows little outside the strict Amish settlement of Zebulon, Minnesota, where there is no rumspringa for exploration beyond the boundaries of their insular world. Isaac knows he'll have to officially join the church and find a wife before too long, but he yearns for something else - something he can't name.

Her bright smile was a violent contrast to the lethal darkness in his life. What should have been days under the same roof somehow turned into years.

I loved the characters in this book. It held my interest in every page. It was a Kindle purchase. Because I travel a lot, I purchased the Whisper Sync to accompany the book. I found myself reading the book more in Kindle than listening. But, overall enjoyed both. I am not a history buff, but this book made me want to explore California's history. Thanks to the writer for their work!

Love blossoms in early California
Thoroughly enjoyed the story while learning about life in early California. Author has really done her research which made this delightful love story even more convincing as characters dealt with challenges contemporary to the time.

Exciting story of California history
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. There are many twists and turns with accurate history. There is deep character development and I truly care about them.
The AI reader has no inflection or change of voice for each character so it difficult to know who's talking.
Great Book!!
