Publisher's summary

Cora Miller is fiercely independent and stubborn to a fault. Betrayed more than once by men she thought she could trust, she's learned to rely only on herself. As the oldest of four siblings, she feels responsible for leading her family safely on the Oregon Trail for a new start.

Nathaniel Wilder is no stranger to the hardships and dangers of the wilderness. Raised with his brothers by a trapper in the remote mountains, he left behind the mistakes he's made in the past. He's been called reckless and irresponsible, but won't hesitate to help someone in need.

A foolhardy mishap puts Nathaniel in the direct path of a stubborn, yet beautiful woman with fire in her eyes. Despite her refusal of help, he is determined to prove she can depend on him. When her pride puts her and her family in peril, Cora accepts that she can't do it on her own. If misgivings can turn to trust, or even love, both Cora and Nathaniel could come out stronger in the end.

First book In Wilderness series

New twist to a Peggy Henderson moving West story. I read this story in print and has to listen to the story. Mr. Robert's narration was on point. Found little details to the story that I had missed in my initial read. Cora is a headstrong, independent woman who is headed out onto the Oregon Trail. She meets Nathaniel, a young mountain man, who helps her and her family along the way. Definitely recommend this story. Thanks

Excellent read

Cora has to get her family to Oregon. It is a much needed fresh start for all of them. Only problem is none of the wagon masters will allow an unwed women with 3 sisters and a child to join in with their group.
Nathaniel is trying to get home with the supplies to last he and his brothers and Harley for the winter when the Indians steal his horses.
In her way, Peggy L. Henderson weaves their seemingly unrelated stories together that leaves you yearning for more.
I loved getting to know these characters better. Her stories are independent of each other but have interrelated characters. I have come to look forward to each of her books and the awesome ways she brings the stories together.
Cora's Pride is a great book that I recommend to anyone that loves historical romances, to read. It contains everything from romance to fast moving action.

I was given an audible copy to listen to in exchange for an honest review.

Cody does it for Peggy again!

I LOVE Peggy’s books — they are authentic and well written, but when I listen to Cody narrate them, they just come to life!

My First Audible Book

My first impression of listening to a book instead of reading was a little cheesy at first, but as I kept listening to the narrator, excellent voice and job by the way, I was able to have a very clear view in my mind of the scenery unfolding before me and of the characters coming to life.
Cora's Pride has a story line that grabs you and makes you want to keep "listening". The characters were easy to fall in love with.
I loved being able to listen to the story as I was getting ready for work in the morning and even being able to listen on my drive to work.
I would definitely recommend this book. The story was good and left you feeling the need to continue on with the rest of the characters.

Awesome story

Loved it from the first. Awesome narration by Cody as well. I cant wait to read the next book in the series.

Love the book.

Can't wait for the next book. Excellent narrator. Good to listen to. Thanks Peggy Henderson

Cora's Pride

I am loving this new series by Peggy L. Henderson. It is always wonderful taking the journey with two characters and watching how, although flawed, they somehow heal each other with their love.

It's A Winner!

Cora's Pride was enjoyable to listen to. The characters were likable and the story intriguing.

Cora is a headstrong woman who acts before she thinks of possible consequences. Like when she trails behind the Wagon Train that will not let a woman without a husband join up with it, or when she follows the man who took her horse into the wilderness not knowing where she was going or if she can find her way back to her family. Nor did she consider a band of renegade Indians could be in the vicinity. Her pride makes her think she can do more than she is capable of.

She needs help, but will she accept it from the handsome mountain man who lost his horse and provisions to a band of renegade Indians?

Cora's Pride is a clean western romance, narrated by the very talented Cody Roberts.

Fantastic story both written and audible. I loved every moment listening to this awesome story with Cody Robert's smooth voice.

This was so enjoyable to listen to. I loved the Kindle story that Peggy L Henderson wrote. I have loved all her stories and her characters are written to perfection. She does tons of research for each and every story she writes and you can just imagine the places she describes in each and every book.
Cora is one determined woman and it seems like nothing will break her pride.
Nathaniel who I so love is the kind hearted man every woman wants to marry. He is sincere, helpful and just refuses to let a group of young woman and young boy to travel alone through the wilderness even when stubborn and prideful Cora threatens to shoot him if he shows his face around there wagon again.
Traveling alone without benefit of a wagon train because no wagon master will take a wagon full of unmarried women and young boy, they have enough adventures to last a life time not to mention enough problems to also last a lifetime. Did I mention dangers as well? Enough of those too.
Then in the audible version Cody Roberts has a smooth voice to listen to and can make the changes needed for each character so you know which one is speaking.
I enjoyed this audible very much and all of Peggy's stories in this form and with Cody's smooth voice he brings out the best in each and every one of Peggy's stories and he brings them to life. Fantastic in all areas and I highly recommend you get both the book and this audible. You will love it.

Pride comes before the fall

Peggy, you have done it again. Cora's Pride is a lovely story of a woman's struggle with so many past painful experiences and emotions. Because of these painful past situations her defenses are so high it is almost impossible to communicate with her. But along comes Nathaniel, what a hunk! He is feisty, handsome and determined to win Cora's trust and then her heart. I loved this book! In parts I laughed out loud and in parts I had a big lump in my throat. As for the reader, yummy he can read to me any time he wants to.
