 If you're looking for a sweet romance that's an overall easy listen, On His Bended Knee will do the trick - if you can suspend disbelief because this one requires a good deal of it. I think the main thing this story could've used was more research on the author's part, but I guess that's where the suspension of disbelief comes in. It is a quick listen, and the marriage of convenience trope is always fun. Plus, being married to a veteran, they tend to have a special place in my heart, especially those grumpy ones that are hiding just how big their heart really is. Meagan Moses does the narration, and this was my first time listening to her. That said, it won't be my last. She does a great job with all the characters and with the emotion of the story. So, this one has several tropes to enjoy, including veteran, wounded warrior, marriage of convenience, cowboy, animal lover... The list goes on, but you get the picture. At this point, I'm not sure I'll continue with the series, but this first one was an interesting introduction.
