About this audiobook
Loving the Lawman: A Roses of Ridgeway Historical RomanceThe Darling of the Founding Family
Valerie Ridgeway is the granddaughter of Ridgeway's founder, and the sole heir to the town's ownership. A tall, graceful beauty, she's had a slew of suitors- most every eligible man within fifty miles of town has come courting for her. Despite her loveliness, however, Valerie has developed a reputation for rejecting men with her icy demeanor. Only a select few of the townsfolk know the secret shame that fuels her bitterness. Approaching thirty, she's given up on the fairy tale of marriage, choosing instead to give her time and effort to the betterment of the race.
The Keeper of the Peace
Noah Rogers, Ridgeway's sheriff, takes his job very seriously. An intense man by nature, he bears the responsibility of the safety of the townsfolk, with only a single deputy to aid him. He's eschewed romantic entanglements in order to give his full focus to his very important work- that is, until he lay eyes on Miss Ridgeway. He's desired her from afar, biding his time, watching as she cut down a string of "suitable men," one after another. He's aware of her reputation; still, he senses a vulnerable, radiant creature beneath all the sass and ire, one he intends to discover.
A Budding Love... A Town in Jeopardy
Just as Noah begins to woo Valerie, a rash of crimes invades the usually peaceful environment of Ridgeway. When the safety of the innocent citizens of town becomes more threatened than ever before, Noah must find a way to protect them, and the woman he loves. But when shocking violence, loss, and grief threaten to unravel their hard-won courtship, will they find a way to overcome it all, so that Valerie can truly begin loving the lawman?
Editor's Note
Black Sweet Historical...
In this sweet historical romance, a Black heiress refuses all marriage offers, instead keeping her secrets to herself. That is until the sheriff’s determination overcomes her past trauma. Alexander’s “Roses of Ridgeway” series depicts a town where diversity is celebrated, and people can love who they want. Alexander’s detail-rich writing lends a depth to the story that enhances the romance.

She's a voracious reader, an amateur seamstress and occasional painter in oils. Chocolate, American history, sweet tea, and Idris Elba are a few of her favorite things. A native of the TarHeel state, Kianna still lives there with her husband, two kids, and a collection of well-loved vintage 80's Barbie dolls.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5What a boring book. It would’ve been better somewhat if the narrator was not so limp in her reading. There was no excitement in her voice. Her voice was slow dragging the words that I didn’t listen to the story, I just couldn’t take hearing that slow boring voice a moment longer.
