Awaken: To Tame a Teacher

Rate this book
A Boston Heiress comes West to spread her wings. A Montana Blacksmith holds little hope of capturing her heart. The book AWAKEN features Chelan Ferguson, the new schoolteacher, who has been drawn to Aspen Glen, like a spoiled child to a cookie jar. The young woman will need to mature to fit in with the Western community and especially into her role as a teacher. Although Gerald Brazer appears to see the woman’s potential as his future wife, she is not ready to settle with a final choice. Have her years in Boston – born with a silver spoon in her mouth – prepared her for what lies ahead in the rugged frontier land? She is about to find out - the hard way. Taming Chelan Ferguson is proving a hard task for the man who has fallen head over heels in love with her. Gerald Brazer helplessly watches as she toys with men's hearts and moves closer into harm's way with a dangerous family. Will a sudden tragedy win her heart or will she remain a lost soul and return to Boston? Gerald's character and resolve are challenged and strengthened during his pursuit of the lady, landing him in a place where patience and contentment in God's direction become his only option. The drama unfolds in Montana territory. Although each book is a stand-alone adventure, the series continues as a community. I hope you will enjoy this new love story with the ever-expanding Jones family and friends. Download today.

Chelan is the new teacher and not ready to settle. Gerald is determined to marry her but he’s not the only one who gets her attention. After a lot of drama and adventure she’s ready to give her heart away but is it to Gerald or to one of the other men?
I didn’t like Chelan very much, at the start of the story she was just a spoiled girl but the title is well chosen. She awakens to be a better person. I really enjoyed this book!

Awaken is Chelan Ferguson, the new teacher of Aspen Glen who is trying to find herself, story. Add horses, school bullies, and child abuse to the mix. While not often fond of first person narratives, Marlene Bierworth is a talented writer and first person narrative works for this series, where each main character tells the story from her point of view. Looking forward to the next story in this binge worthy series.

Good Clean Read

I will confess I had trouble getting into this book. But the author is good and I got hooked in the characters and the story. So read this series and this book for a Good Clean Read.

Very long, far fetched and rediculous story, don't bother buying or reading! Definitely not worth it! Just plain silly and ridiculous
