The Outlaw Noble Salt by Amy HarmonSynopsis: “From New York Times bestselling author Amy Harmon comes a sweepingly romantic tale of risk, redemption, and what happens when America’s most famous outlaw falls in love. When infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy decides to go straight, he discovers that too many of the powerful men he crossed won’t let bygones be bygones. To have a chance at a new life, he’ll have to become someone else entirely. A brief, fateful encounter with the celebrated singer Jane Touissant on the eve of his escape offers a glimpse of what might have been, but Butch disappears, leaving her behind, until their paths unexpectedly converge again in Paris. Despite having discovered his true identity, Jane trusts the outlaw and enlists his protection on her upcoming American tour. Although Butch is reluctant to agree, fearing his sordid past may put the woman and her young son in danger, the salvation she offers is too hard to resist. As they set forth on their journey, Butch’s past and Jane’s secrets put them at risk from threats far greater than the law, and this legend of the American West will have to decide what matters most—his life, his legacy, or the woman he loves.”

My Review

This audiobook was so good, I enjoyed every minute of it. I got caught up in this wonderful historical romance, which is also a re-imagining of the life of Butch Cassidy the infamous outlaw of the Wild West.

The writing was so beautiful and the characters so real, especially Butch Cassidy and Gus, Jane Touissant’s young son. I must admit I wasn’t so keen on Jane, but I warmed to her as the story progressed, and I understood why she was the way she was. 

I love the Butch Cassidy film with Paul Newman and Robert Redford, so of course I made comparisons whilst listening, but it didn’t detract at all from this wonderful novel.

The narration by Rob Shapiro, a new-to-me narrator was superb. He really brought all the characters to life for me with his fantastic voice talents, making it a very enjoyable listening experience.

Highly recommended if you enjoy historical romance on audio.
