Publisher's summary

Nurse and avid backpacker Aimee Donovan is offered the opportunity of a lifetime. She encounters a patient who tells her he can send her two hundred years into the past to spend three months in the rugged Yellowstone wilderness at the dawn of the mountain man era. The only requirement: she cannot tell anyone that she's from the future.

How did a white woman suddenly appear in the remote Rocky Mountain wilderness? Trapper Daniel Osborne's first instinct is to protect this mysterious and unconventional woman from the harsh realities of his mountains. While he fights his growing attraction to her, he is left frustrated by her lies and secrecy. Daniel shows Aimee a side of Yellowstone she's never experienced.

She is torn between her feelings for him, and exposing a secret that will destroy everything he holds as truth. As her three months come to an end, she is faced with a dilemma: return to her own time, or stay with the man who opened her eyes to a whole new world. When the decision is made for her, both their lives will be changed forever.

Amazing story

This is the only author I've re-read books from, and listening to this audiobook has been my fourth time for this book! I love the story so much I read if three times, and it was just as great this fourth time. The story is exciting and the characters extremely likable. You won't be sorry if you try this book. If you are debating getting Redemption (book two), get it. It is even better than Heart Song.

If you didn't like the narrator's voice, be aware the next few in the series have a different, better (male) voice.

heartwarming adventure

loved this story. the discription was so real you could feel what the characters felt! I enjoyed listening to the narration. I have always been fascinated with time travel. what an experience to travel to a time before modern technology arrived. this was a fantastic book and so well written I would recommend it to everyone !

Loved this book

I enjoyed listening to this book. I couldn't put it down.I hope the next book is just interesting.

The Romantic beginning of a FANTASTIC SERIES!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Yellowstone Heart Song to be better than the print version?

I loved both versions. I REALLY enjoyed the experience of listening to the book, after reading the print version, because the narrator brings the characters to "LIFE"! It made me really realize that just reading it for myself doesn't give the same depth to the characters, and storyline. I really enjoy being able to hear the different "Voices" of the characters. For me, I don't get that so clearly when I do the reading. I am finding that I enjoy being read to. It is a completely different experience, and it is GOOD.

What did you like best about this story?

TIME TRAVEL!!! It was so exciting, as I have always dreamed of "going back in time" to a time in history that I find intriguing!! Also the setting in Yellowstone. That has been one of my favorite places, since I was a young child vacationing there with family. I also really enjoyed the unfolding Romance between Aimee, and Daniel.

Have you listened to any of Alexandra Haag’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first experience with Alexandra Haag. It was a positive experience, and I am ready to hear more from her. She is a very animated narrator, and does well with each character.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Leave your "life" behind, and find Love & Adventure in THE YELLOWSTONE OF THE PAST.

Any additional comments?

I was fascinated by this book when it first came out in print, and eagerly have looked forward to each new book in the series. I was "HOOKED" in the first chapter, and I don't think I can ever get enough of the Osbornes in Yellowstone. Listening to it in audible format just gives me even MORE ENJOYMENT!!! Thank You Peggy L. Henderson!!! PLEASE KEEP THESE GREAT BOOKS COMING!! I really like "knowing" more about the lives of these characters. AND I LOVE TIME TRAVEL STORIES!!!

Great Book!

Any additional comments?
Yellowstone Heart Song was my first Time Travel Romance book, and I fell in love from the very beginning! I love the adventure Peggy L Henderson brings to her stories, especially with the native Americans in the story. I felt like I was there. Daniel and Aimee are 2 characters that I absolutely love!

Loved it!

A great listen with well developed plot and characters and a great balance between action and romance. I felt closely connected to both key characters which added to the enjoyment. The narration was not the best I've listened to but Alexandra Haag did a credible job that didn't interfere with the overall listening experience.

A beautiful story told so well.

A beautiful, beautiful story about Yellowstone. I enjoyed every minute of listening to the audible story of it.

Sweet Time Travel Romance

I tend to have a love hate relationship with time-travel books. This one falling it the love category. Really well crafted story with great twists and turns.

I loved the way it started, it picks up with Aimee in 1810, as she wanders you get the whole story of how she came to be here rather than 2010. Thank goodness she actually has some survival training, too bad she did not prepare better. I loved her spirit and energy. She does a great job of rolling with the punches.

Daniel takes a while to warm up to, he has issues and acts tough to protect his heart. He has the whole Alpha wilderness male down perfectly. Once you get to know him better he will win you over. But it really too me some time to get to like him enough to fall in love.

This is in a mixed narrative style, you get the POV's of the two leads, most of the time it is Aimee. There are also a few scenes from other character's POV, it helps give a fuller story and greater understanding of motivations. This style really goes a long way in making Daniel like-able, cause he comes off jerky from Aimee's side of things.

The romance grows over time and develops naturally. I enjoyed the dynamic between Aimee and Daniel once they sort out their issues. The story gets a little steamy, not full on erotic detail but some very smexy lovin occurs with an open bedroom door. You won't need a cold shower but a fan for your face might be a good idea to have handy!

I listened to the audiobooks narrated by Alexandra Haag. She does a nice steady read with distinct voices. I generally like a swifter read, even at triple time it felt slower. She has a relaxing tone that lends itself to the story. During action moments there is a feeling of energy and urgency instilled into the read. I enjoyed her read, just wish I could have sped it up a touch.

Overall, this is a really entertaining read. I can't say that any of the events surprised me, but it still managed to make me cry at a couple points. I am a sucker when it comes to romances!! I hoped the next book would be her friend Jana, but that seemed to be wrapped up in the Epilogue. I am eager to see what happens in the next book, it will be interesting to see what happens in the time travel.

Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own.

Enjoyed it

Would you consider the audio edition of Yellowstone Heart Song to be better than the print version?

No I really loved the book version and have read it twice now

What other book might you compare Yellowstone Heart Song to and why?

I have not come across a book that it compares to-it stands alone as an excellent book to her Yellowstone series

Have you listened to any of Alexandra Haag’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first audio book that I have listened to in it's entirity

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No I enjoyed it in two sessions

Any additional comments?

Only thing I didn't like about the performance was how Aimee sounded to me-I didn't think the orator nailed the strength and character of Aimee as when I read the book

I loved this story....

This is a beautiful love story. If you want a feel good story that pulls you right into itself--then this story delivers.
