Our Editor's Take

Montana Mavericks: The Gunslinger's Bride is a series based on a Harlequin historical novel by Cheryl St. John. Harlequin and Audio Up set out to adapt 52 books into podcasts. This series is the second adaptation, and it doesn't disappoint. Listeners can expect deception, longing, and vengeance. Cinematic sound effects and music enhance the plot. The creators hope listeners discover new musicians through the soundtrack. Romance is the top-selling genre in mass-market paperbacks.

The Montana Mavericks: The Gunslinger's Bride podcast begins in Whitehorn, Montana. Gunslinger Brock Kincaid grew up there. He fled years ago after shooting Abby Watson's brother. Now, he has returned and doesn't know what to expect. Brock was in love with Abby before the murder. Will she speak to him? Will his brothers welcome him home? Brock walks into town, hoping to go unnoticed. He sees students leaving school and wonders if his nephew is among them. Then, he notices a boy who resembles himself. Abby arrives to retrieve the boy.

Brock questions her. She admits the boy is his son. Abby realized she was pregnant after Brock vanished. Her father was furious she was pregnant out of wedlock. He arranged for her to marry an older man. Abby told her son that the man was his father. Not long after, their son gets sick. Brock goes to check on him. Abby demands that he remove his guns. She doesn't want her son around weapons. Despite her anger, Abby feels warmth radiating from his eyes. Brock's hands itch with the urge to touch her. Will Abby forgive him for murder? Will Brock forgive her for lying? The ex-lovers take little time to decide on the podcast.

Montana Mavericks: The Gunslinger's Bride is an adaptation of a book series. It includes A Convenient Wife by Carolyn Davidson. Whitefeather's Woman by Deborah Hale is in the series. So is The Kincaid Bride by Jackie Merritt. Big Sky Grooms by Bronwyn Williams, Susan Mallery, and Carolyn Davidson is also popular. Which book will Audio Up adapt next? Harlequin fans are likely making podcast wishlists.
