Members Reviews: Another Amish Winner! If you could sum up Amish Brides in three words, what would they be? Fun, fun, fun! What other book might you compare Amish Brides to and why? I think the first story is very similar to other Jennifer Beckstrand titles, full of love and humor. I really did enjoy all three stories. But I did laugh and enjoy the one by Jennifer Beckstrand book the most. Have you listened to any of Susan Boyces other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes. I listen to Susan Boyce a lot. I always look for her Amish narrations. She does a wonderful job reading Amish books. I'm going to check out some other titles she has narrated. I just love her. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? As I mentioned, book one made me laugh and all three were warm and loving Any additional comments? I highly recommend this to Amish book fans!

Title: The Saloon Girl's Journey Subtitle: Texas Women of Spirit, Book 3 Author: Angela Castillo Narrator: J. Grace Pennington Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: Angela Castillo Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Weary of the saloon girl life - and tired of being slapped around - Darla North decides to start over and let her new-found faith lead her. A friend sends her to Downs House, a place for "unfortunate women". Darla is offered a home - if she can behave herself. Old habits are hard to break, but Darla is desperate to prove to everyone that she's changed, especially Ethan Downs, the owner's sensitive and sweet son. But when Darla's past threatens to catch up with her, she must decide to face the truth...or run away again. Members Reviews: Saloon Girl Darla was a breath of fresh air. I loved when she said âI donât much care about being dignified, but Iâd like to become a better Christian.â When I read those words I knew I was in for a wonderful journey. I could not put this book down because I was compelled to see how things would turn out between Ethan and Darla. I needed to know if Darla would trust God enough to stay the course and not give into fear. Sometimes our past can be ugly and shameful, but when God forgives He throws our sins to the Sea of Forgetfulness. I'm glad Darla eventually came to that realization. If I had one compliant it would be that I want a wedding scene between Ethan and Darla. A lovely journey with unexpected twists and turns 4.5 stars for a lovely journey. I loved the characters in this story, and the details kept it firmly rooted in the historical period. The plot has several unexpected twists and turns, which kept this reader guessing until almost the last page. There were a couple of places where the plot seemed "forced" but they weren't distracting enough to harm the overall story. Recommended for anyone who likes inspirational romance and Texas history. It's not necessary to read the first two books of this series before this third installment, but you'll want to read them so you can meet many more wonderful characters! A decent read This is the third book in the series. The others are The River Girl's Song and The Comanche Girl's Prayer. There's another story after this one called The River Girl's Christmas. Darla is trying to rebuild her life. She's at a home for "unfortunates" and trying to follow the rules. Ethan is the owner's son, and he is drawn to Darla from the beginning. Darla feels the same, but she believes Ethan could never love her if he found out about her past. To keep her secret, she runs away when a man threatens to expose her. This book was okay. It reminded me of the way I felt about the first book, like it was more of a "journey" than a full romance. Darla is learning to not make assumptions about people and that she's worthy to be accepted for who she is - and not just by Ethan. I found it odd that Darla was so suspicious of everyone that was kind to her, especially after she joined the medicine show. She was the one who went running to them, after all. Compared to the others, I'd have to say that so far, I've enjoyed The Comanche Girl's Prayer the best. This one has me on the fence. For a romance, there wasn't much interaction between the characters to get me invested in their relationship. As a journey, it's a pretty good tale, but it wasn't one of my favorites.

Daybreak Audiobook by Shelley Shepard Gray

Title: Daybreak Subtitle: The Day of Reckoning Series, Book 1 Author: Shelley Shepard Gray Narrator: Robynn Rodriguez Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 02-12-13 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: In this close-knit Amish family, nothing is as perfect as it seems.... When Viola Keim starts working at a nearby Mennonite retirement home, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with resident Atle, whose only living relative, son Edward, is living as a missionary in Nicaragua. Viola understands the importance of mission work, but she can't imagine leaving her father in the hands of strangers. Even though her family is New Order Amish, it's not the Amish way, and though she doesn't know Ed, she judges him for abandoning his father. But when Ed surprises his father with a visit, Viola and Ed both discover an attraction they never expected. Despite her feelings, choosing Ed would mean moving to a far-off country and leaving her family behind. She can't do that. Her twin sister, Elsie, is going blind and will need someone to care for her all her life. Her family is reeling with the recent discovery that her grandmother hid her past as an Englischer. Her father seems forgetful and distracted - and to be harboring some secrets of his own. Does Viola dare leave them all behind and forge her own life? Or will family ties mean her one chance at love slips away? Members Reviews: A brand new day brings new beginnings This is book one is a series set in Holmes County Ohio and centered around an Amish community. I really like how Ms. Gray makes the characters "not perfect", but with family problems just like we all have. Sometimes the Amish genre is portrayed as an idealistic way of life, but this story helps the reader realize that the Amish are people that can have family problems just like everyone else - they just use their faith to work through those problems. Viola, one of the main characters, struggles to understand Ed's choice to be away from family and live as a missionary in another country. She reminds us that we usually end up with a wrong assessment of someone when we look at them through our own perception, instead of through God's eyes. The story has many characters that are easy to identify with and teach us how to work through life's trials with faith and family. The other books in this series focus on different characters in the same community of Amish, which always appeals to me because I hate saying goodbye to characters I have met in stories! Ms Gray's descriptive scenarios make you feel a part of the community and the lives of the characters. Her attention to detail and her accurate portrayal of the Amish is a reflection of the research she must put into every story. I look forward to many more stories from this talented author Daybreak Daybreak is the first book in the Days of Redemption series. It focuses on Viola Kiem, a young Amish woman who works at a retirement home. One of her friends at the retirement home is resident Atle Swartz, whose son Edward is a missionary worker in Nicaragua. Viola does not agree with Atle's only child being so far away from his father. When he comes home to visit his father Viola is unsure of her feelings towards him. Viola's home life is chaotic as it is discovered her grandmother has been keeping a secret, her aunt reveals a past hurt and her father has a secret of his own. Viola's world has been turned upside down. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were likable even though flawed.

Alan Archer has returned to Garfield with a new wife, a fresh commitment to God, and a terminal heart condition. His mission? To leave a Christian legacy for his children and to gain Pam's forgiveness for the sins of his past. Two hearts hang in the balance waiting for the delicate touch of God's healing hands. Members Reviews: Absolutely awesome It was a stark reminder of how important forgiveness is, not only because of the unimaginable pain that Jesus went thru so we could be forgiven by God, but also for our own peace of mind! Thank you for the lovely book and the narrator-ship was excellent too! another wonderful christian book by this author this is the third book in this series that I have listened to. each book is great dealing with issues that most christians have to face. this book deals with true forgiveness as well as the loss of a loved one...neither issue is easy....speaking from experience. needless to say, I highly recommend this book as well as this author to everyone because I think we will all face these issues at some time in our lifetime. I hope this author will write many more books in the future. she has become a favorite author of mine!! Sharon Srock's Books are Amazing! After listening to several of Sharon Srock's audio books, she is now my favorite author. I love the inspirational stories that tell of her character's struggle with reality. She weaves stories that warm your heart and leave you feeling good. Pam is no exception. I love getting to know the characters in each novel and getting to know them better in the next book in the series. Laura Jennings does a wonderful job narrating the story, giving voice to the characters. I can't wait for more! I would recommend this book to everyone!!t I was given a copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. A story of healing and forgiveness Would you listen to Pam again? Why? I would absolutely listen to Pam again. I have read this book a couple times and love that it is now available as an audiobook. What did you like best about this story? Pam's story is one that a lot of people can relate to. Even if it isn't on the level of being a victim of domestic violence, many people have someone in their life that has hurt them. This story reminds us that being able to forgive doesnt mean you have to forget, but that forgiving will free you. What about Laura Jenningss performance did you like? Laura Jennings has a great voice that is easy to listen to and she does well at creating voices for the different characters in the story. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes!

Chapin Narrator: Mindy Wade Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs Language: English Release date: 09-25-17 Publisher: T.K. Chapin Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Samantha had everything a wife and mother could ask for in life. A loving husband, a beautiful daughter, and a baby on the way. Her life is thrown into a tailspin when her Army Sergeant husband Dakota goes missing in Afghanistan and is assumed dead.... It's because of him she lost everything.... It's because of her he's able to go on. Members Reviews: Military wife...MIA husband...tugs at the heartstrings! Because of You, written by T.K. Chapin, is a story that will tug at your heartstrings. We meet a couple very much in love, dedicated to each other and to our country. Dakota is in the military and leaves for a deployment where he goes MIA. Samantha has to deal with being a military wife while taking care of their childrenâone of which didnât meet his daddy before he left for deployment and then wondering if she'll ever see her best friend and lover again. Chapin isnât afraid to touch on topics that arenât always written about. I found this to be a very romantic inspirational read, but it also had a tad bit of mystery woven within the story that tugs at the heartstrings in an unexpected way as itâs relatable in so many ways. Not your typical love story. Once again Chapin takes us on a trip through the lives of the characters in this Christian Romance in a way that you feel youâre able to be in on the conversations in this first person read. I would suggest this read for older teens on up. Clean, romantic, inspirational and godly read. Wow How Touching! This book was so touching! TK Chapin truly has a way with storytelling that will bring out all kinds of emotions. In this story we are introduced to a young woman who is deeply in love with her husband and then her life goes through some hard changes. Can she make it through or will these issues bring her down? T.K. Chapin paints an incredible story of love, drama, military life, grief, and so much more. Throughout the book the author weaves Godâs wondrous words and love into this story. It has many beautiful quotes and phrases. I dearly loved reading this book because it grabbed my heart and showed me hope. I highly recommend reading this book! God's Abiding Love This new book is a blockbuster and a must read by Mr. T.K. Chapin. It is a beautiful Christian romance with a bit of suspense added in to it. The story basically revolves around Samantha (Sam) who is married to Dakota. They have one child and Sam is pregnant with their second child when suddenly Dakota is deployed to Afghanistan. Sam is deeply in love with Dakota and can't imagine life without him while he is away. Up until time for him to leave she tries to be strong and hide her sadness but inevitably it comes out. After he has left and the story unfolds, Sam is notified that Dakota is MIA. Mr. Chapin is such an awesome, wonderful storyteller, and as such, reveals how Sam deals with being a military wife and a single mom. She has support from family and friends; but, mostly she relies on God. Mr. Chapin teaches us through this beautiful romance that anything is possible if we trust God and allow Him to work in and through our lives. Scriptures are used to back up how to rely on God in the various situations that arise throughout the story. This is a very romantic and inspirational story which includes many twists and turns.

They have been friends since they were two years old. Nothing has ever been able to come between them, not even the difference in their skin color. Blake's young life is hit with opposition at the hands of his abusive father, Frank, at the mere age of nine. He still refuses to give up his friendship with Jasmine. Frank is not the only one who has a problem with their friendship. Jasmine's mother, Vanessa, is also not a fan but her resistance is a bit more subtle. By the time Blake and Jasmine make it to college, Vanessa's wish seems to be granted until Jasmine is knocked down by life and bad choices. Blake and Jasmine meet four friends that quickly become family even though each one of them is a different nationality. Blake and Jasmine's families scramble to keep their skeletons from talking by using hatred, abuse, and deception to silence them. When life and death stand face to face, the collateral damage left behind will reveal what truly lies in each of their hearts. If they limit love due to their own prejudices they will never release their families from pasts that have haunted and tormented them for decades. Dr. Sheridan Richards (Surviving Sunday) is called on to try and make sense of this family's secrets. Can she help them heal and move forward in the destiny that God has for them? She will have to face her own ugly truths about issues she didn't even know she had once she allows these strangers into her office in order to correctly respond to the madness that awaits her on Monday. Members Reviews: Color Me Blind Well, I listened to the audio version of Color Me Blind, and it was good. Highly and strongly recommend this book. It deals with several tough topics; one of them is a race. The book is relevant and relatable to what is going on in our country right now. At a certain point in the story, I started praying, and I wanted to weep. I have read this book before, in fact, I have the paperback, audiobook, and e-book. However, the audio book made the story live for me, I felt as if these characters were real, they felt like my friends. The way they openly discussed their fears, pain and their sadness were powerful. I rarely recommend a book, because I know everyone has different taste, but this is a book everyone must have and share with a friend. The author also proves you can write a story about different races even if you are of another race. And can deal with the subject of race in a powerful thought-provoking way. I love this God inspired story. AMAZING,AMAZING,AMAZING Amazing, The narrator was awesome. She made it seem so real almost like a movie. Keep up the good work. Great Love Story The narrator did a very good job. I love to listen to books while at work really enjoyed it. Great first audio book!!! Loved the book and story line, but I was struggling with the narrator's voices of Jasmine and Vanessa. Why they had to be soooo country and deep.

So she's chafing against her mother's wish that, to save the family farm, she marry Mervin Mosier--especially after she meets Leon Fisher. He's from Montana but is working in Molly's district, training horses at a nearby ranch. He is tall and muscular, with a confident demeanor. Molly has never met anyone like him, and he seems to feel the same about her. Determined to let nothing get between them, Molly decides the best course of action is to get Mervin to fall back in love with her best friend, Hannah. Molly organizes a weekend camping trip hoping to bring them together, but things quickly go awry and it seems Leon and Hannah might be falling for each other instead. Will Molly keep struggling to control everyone and everything around her? Or will she learn to let God handle the twists and turns of her life? Members Reviews: Liked the Plot, Not the Characters Out of the four books, this one is my least favorite by far. The writing was well done as per usual and the plot line overall kept me interested. However I really didn't like the main characters in Minding Molly. Molly was just too hard to like and Leon seemed like a bit of a pushover. Liking the characters, in my opinion, is really important in a book and I was not rooting for bossy Molly. Other than those two main characters, I thought the book was well done. Amazing Writing Well Done I am still LOVING this series, so YES, I loved this book too. I did not want to see it end and I can not wait for the fourth book to come out "Becoming Bea" in late fall. Leslie Gould does an amazing job at writing and her descriptions are so detailed that she brings the characters to life along with their surroundings. If you like experiencing books like this then this series is for you. This book deals with a lot of different happenings, experiences, but it's how the Amish characters handle that overwhelming everyday life with their trust in God along with romance thrown in the mix. Being friends with our best friends and trusting them. Making the right choices for one's self, for one's family, for one's business, for one's future. One choice can change the whole course of life. Can change the course of others around us. Making the right choices for yourself and for your family is challenging, but are we willing to listen to God and follow his path for our lives? Minding Molly is just that minding Molly. Molly has mostly been in control of her life and whether others in her family knew it or not she was controlling them too. When her fathers passed away, Molly stepped up the plate in taking care of the business in the everyday operation of running a nursery farm. When Molly's mother, Anna, calls in her step-son, Ivan, to look at the books to see how they are financially in the business. They all get a shock, but Molly is set with a big determination.

Twelve months later, Karla is a shadow of the woman she used to be, struggling through her grief, living with bankrupt emotions, and resisting any suggestion that God might give her a second chance at love. Ian McAlister was a helpless bystander as breast cancer took his beloved wife from him one breath at a time. As days of grief turn into months, Ian begins to dwell on the vow she elicited from him before her death. Promise me that you won't grieve for too long. But how will he know when it's time? Two broken hearts, two futures destroyed by death, until a chance meeting in an unexpected place kindles a friendship between Karla and Ian that rockets into a romance neither one anticipated. Can they overcome their grief and the objection of family members to grab onto the surprising future that God has for them? Members Reviews: Fun series to hear! This was my first books by Sharon and I have already bought another series by her since I enjoyed this series from first to last. Enjoyable book! Faith, love, patience, loss, recovery and forgiveness are some of the themes that you will see in this wonderful book by Sharon Srock. It is book 6 in the Valley View series. It can easily be considered a stand-alone book as well. It is the final book of this series. I really enjoyed it. Being close to Karla in age, I can understand her feelings of loss after a long, happy marriage and then trying to make it on her own. It is interesting to see the reactions of friends and family as Karla tries to emerge from the darkness of her loss and return to living a happy and fulfilling life. Relationships with family can be strained as is apparent in this book and made it feel real to me. I think the characters were well portrayed and it was easy to see their feelings as they dealt with the problems they faced. I enjoyed the expression and characterization of the narrator, Laura Jennings, and felt that she did a great job to bring across the feelings of the people she portrayed. I definitely want to read and "listen" to more books by this author. I received an Audible version of this book from the author for my honest review, which I have given. Another amazing book from Sharon Srock I can't say enough about this series by Sharon Srock. Karla is the 6th and final book. I feel as though I know all of the women of Valley View. No matter the age of the women in the books, I found that I could identify with them all. But Karla, who is exactly my age, is dear to my heart and Ms. Srock brings to the table something that we all think about as we get older. What would I do if something happened to my husband? What would my children think about me if I found someone else to love? This book covers this issue with such kindness and grace. Laura Jennings does a wonderful job giving voice to the characters in this book. I could hear the love and compassion in her voice. I want to know more about these women of Valley View!! I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone who wants a clean, Christian book to read or listen to. I was given this audio book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Members Reviews: Lackluster narrator This narrator was not nearly as entertaining to listen to as Eleni Pappagorg was for the 1st two books of the series. I missed the Southern inflections Ms. Pappagorg used for the main characters. I enjoyed the book itself quite a bit. Disappointing narration Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I loved the story line, having listened to Once Upon a Prince I enjoyed the continuation of the story. Would you be willing to try another one of Julie Lyles Carrs performances? No- having heard Eleni Pappageorge bring Once Upon a Prince to life, A March Bride was terribly disappointing from a narration perspective. There was no differentiation of accents between characters and it made dialogue very hard to follow. Did A March Bride inspire you to do anything? Buy Princess Ever After Any additional comments? I love Rachel Hauck's style and her strong female characters. Can't wait for more of her books.

So why does something seem to be missing? Jenny Bontrager is finally at a place of love and belonging with her husband, Matthew, and his children. Life seems golden with both her family and career as a writer. But everything Jenny now believes in is thrown into question with the discovery of a long-lost letter from her father. Her sense of peace and contentment destroyed by betrayal, Jenny struggles with her renewed faith - and the love of everyone around her. Critic Reviews: "Barbara Cameron has written another wonderful, sweet story that tugs at the emotions. Amish fiction fans will definitely want to add A Time for Peace to their library." (Kathleen Fuller, best-selling author of A Summer Secret, A Hand to Hold, and The Secrets Beneath) "A Time for Peace, Barbara Cameron's newest heartwarming story in the Quilts of Lancaster County series, invites readers to come on in, sit down around the table for a cup of tea while getting to know this Amish family where love is happening. When troubles and doubts come for Jenny, you'll be living her story with her and hoping she won't lose sight of that ribbon of love that so strongly binds these people together." (Ann H. Gabhart, author of The Outsider, Summer of Joy, and Angel Sister) "A Time for Peace is an inspirational story of working through some of the tough questions and situations life throws at us. Barbara Cameron gives us another endearing Amish tale in this Quilts of Lancaster County series." (FreshFiction.com) Members Reviews: Enjoyed the book but not my favorite I enjoy Amish fiction and I did enjoy reading all three of these books of the Quilts of Lancaster County series. However this series is not as good as others I have read. First of all the formatting of the Kindle version was not right. All through the book, at the end of a sentence there was no space after the period and before the first word of the next sentence. The editing in this particular book was very poor as well. Words would be missing and I saw two places where names were mixed up. One was when Jenny went up to check the children in bed and went to the two girls rooms first then went to her son, Joshua's room. However the book said she went to check on "Luke" not Joshua. There isn't even a Luke in the story. The second place, Jenny and Matthew are out in His buggy and said he guided Daisy into the driveway. Daisy was her Grandmother's horse. When they got out of the buggy it says that Matthew put Pilot away which was his horse. These things didn't ruin the book for me but I was surprised with the poor editing. Like others I didn't like this book as much as the first two. It is still a good story and I enjoyed following Jenny, Matthew and the three children as the years went by. I also was glad to keep up with Phoebe, her grandmother. Of course keeping tabs on the newest young married couple, Hanna and Chris, was important too. I still enjoyed the book even though there were some issues with it. Note: I just checked something in this book on my Kindle Fire and the formatting was correct. I actually read the book on my Kindle Touch.

Now 12 new couples will find themselves in the wedding spotlight in the second Year of Weddings novella collection. An owner of a Victorian inn and charming rustic barn is used to creating the perfect setting for other couples' nuptials. But when she falls head over heels for the new man in her life, will she be prepared to walk down that aisle? Members Reviews: A Short Wonderful Ginger and Tom are two of the most intelligent wounded romantic characters ever. The book is short but it is perfect in length. They don't do the stupid plot things, like: "No, no, no! I can't believe it will ever work out to happy ever after!" I get wary of that back and forth, striving to but failing to create a plot with tension. Rachel Hauck in this book reveals scarred people and how God's love can show them truth. The great news is these two find truth, embrace it and the reader is more than satisfied. The best news Tom shares with Ginger and the reader. "You are beautiful" ...scares and all!

Lost at Starvation Lake Audiobook by Gary P. Hansen

Title: Lost at Starvation Lake Subtitle: Starvation Lake Series, Book 2 Author: Gary P. Hansen Narrator: Adam Zens Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 06-17-16 Publisher: Engineering Drafting Services Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Mainly set in remote and isolated northern Canada, this wilderness adventure is a stand alone book. However, it is also a sequel to the top selling novel Survival at Starvation Lake and takes up where the first book left off. Susan, a 24 year old widow and single mother, was facing a big financial problem. She had been on her own since her husband lost his life five years ago, only months after her father died. Susan had spent her whole life in the Canadian bush but the local saw mill had closed. The saw mill's closing caused the local school to close for lack of students. That meant Susan would lose custody of her daughter Lilly if they didn't move to somewhere Lilly could attend school. Susan thought her only hope to find a job in the middle of a major economic recession was to move to Sault Ste. Marie. She didn't know anyone there and lacked the finances for the move. Susan knew she would feel out of place in the big city and didn't want to move. The move seemed like her only option, until a mysterious stranger left her a large financial gift which meant a job wouldn't be essential. This would allow her to move to the much smaller town of Wawa. The stranger left a note and a very large check, then disappeared. From the note, it was obvious the woman knew a lot about Susan and Lilly but Susan couldn't understand how. The lady had signed the note Sally Sinhuna but name wasn't familiar to Susan or anyone she asked. Months later the lives of this stranger and Susan were destined to become entwined. Members Reviews: Another Excellent Book by Gary Hansen. What made the experience of listening to Lost at Starvation Lake the most enjoyable? This book takes on real life issues with a Christian worldview. It deals with past abortion, health issues, infertility, adoption, and dealing with meddling and corrupt bureaucratic agencies. The plot is realistic and edifying. The narrator does a great job. Sound quality is good. What was one of the most memorable moments of Lost at Starvation Lake? Spoiler alert: The most memorable scene is a tough choice in such a great story. It would have to be when Sally finds the Inuit girl, when they find her brother, when the grandma gives Paul and Sally her blessing to care for her grandchildren, the social worker's visit or escaping from the social worker. These scenes are all memorable and exciting. Hansen is good at creating suspense. Hansen's style is similar to Tom Clancy (a clean and Christian version) in that it has defined good and evil characters and it fast paced and exciting. Being that this book takes place in rural Canada, this book is like a cross between a Tom Clancy novel and Little House on the Prairie. Which scene was your favorite? Spoiler Alert: My favorite scene was when Sally sicced her lawyer on Canadian Social Services. Those scenes were very humorous and emotionally satisfying. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? God's Provision Has a New Look or When God Redefines Your Family. Any additional comments? This is a great book for the whole family and an excellent sequel to the first book, Survival at Starvation Lake. I am not sure which book is better.

That is, until a certain dark-haired, equine veterinarian sweeps her off her feet. Marty Scott can't keep his mind off the short little spit-fire with the tough exterior and a heart as soft as a kitten. Once he figures out the way past her defenses, he thinks it's just a hop and a skip to the altar. That is, until a new scandal is born out of tragedy. Sarah is a runner who tends to run from her problems. Marty is problem solver, who prides himself in his solutions, but sometimes the problem is so big, even the best problem solver gets stymied. Sometimes the answer needs to come from a higher power. Author's Note: Clean romance, but adult themes. Not recommended for under 16. Very minimal use of language that some might find offensive. There is no use of the f-word. Members Reviews: Great story! Would you listen to Horses, Adrenaline, and Love again? Why? Yes, it's very engaging. Who was your favorite character and why? I enjoyed Sarah and Marty's love story. Jodi really got into the heart of her characters. Have you listened to any of Jodi Bowersoxs other performances before? How does this one compare? I think her performance is outstanding! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I especially appreciated how Sarah dealt with her past - understanding true forgiveness.

Critic Reviews: "Filled with generous energy and delight." (The Times) "Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply poignant." (Independent) "Feminist without being man-hating, entertaining without being trite, and political without being earnest." (Evening Standard) 'A million women can't be wrong - it IS good!'Jonathan Myerson ¿Filled with generous energy and delight¿The Times Members Reviews: Tone is grotesque The tone is grotesque, makes it sound vulgar, distracts from the text which is worth exploring. what was all the fuss about? When she eventually gets round to the monologues (after what seems like half an hour of "credits" and press-cutting type reviews), some are funny, some are sad, some are bordering on pornographic. What was all the fuss about? It isn't a set of first-world female experiences to which I can relate, though granted some of the tales were from women older than me. Or perhaps that was the point? They were women who maybe shouldn't have had those experiences in the late 20th or early 21st centuries in what we believe to be a civilised, broad-minded and inclusive culture. A must read book for men and women One of the must read books for men and women. Eve Ensler have done a great narration.

Yaklin Format: Unabridged Length: 43 mins Language: English Release date: 09-23-15 Publisher: Anthony Ekanem Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: True love is not easily found and felt. It comes in various types. Like others, you can say that you're loved if your family shows their affection to you. You may also feel the same way if you're attracted to the opposite sex. Love is not only for your family, partner, or any special person. You can also show love for God, your country, your surroundings, and a lot more. Love is a short but powerful word. It protects, nurtures, endures, and brings people together. It also sets people free and finds life, honor, and prosperity. Love can be just like a sense of what heaven will be like. However, love is not just what makes the world go round. It's also what makes the ride so worthwhile. So, whenever you utter the words "I love you", always ensure that you really mean it. It means that once you love someone, you have to give everything for him or her. Members Reviews: great listen loved it as it's helpful in getting yourself ready for a relationship changing your mindset about last failures and moving forward

With three brothers and two sisters, she's never without someone to hang out with - or fight with. And she knows they'll be there for her when things get tough. Like when her partner is murdered and she barely escapes with her own life. Determined to discover exactly what happened, Izzy's investigation sends her headfirst into a criminal organization, possibly with cops on the payroll - including someone from her own family. With her dead partner's handsome homicide detective brother Ryan shadowing her every move, Izzy's head is spinning. How can she secure justice for her partner when doing so could mean sending someone she loves to prison? And how will she guard her heart when the man she's had a secret crush on for years won't leave her side? Critic Reviews: "Eason's blend of realistic, fast-paced action, suspense, twists and turns, and dynamic characters make this a real page-turner." (Wayne Smith, FBI [Retired]) Members Reviews: Narrators expression a little odd What a great story! It seemed Eason did a more outstanding job than usual in creating a real feel to her characters. Their personalities were very genuine. The narrators voice was pleasant. However her inflection and the areas where she would speed up her reading and run thru places where a pause would have been appropriate made for an awkward listening experience. I got used to it tho and really enjoyed the book. Exciting and well written story
Loved it and looking forward to next one! Couldnt figure it out till the end and thats the suspense I like. A lot of action. Not Her Best Book Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I haven't finished it and i'm not sure I will. She is not a very good police officer. Seems clueless about obvious answers. Ms Eason usually has smarter, more competent characters. Would you be willing to try another book from Lynette Eason? Why or why not? yes. I have listened to many of her books and have liked them. Would you listen to another book narrated by Callie Beaulieu? If the book is something I really wanted to listen to I would. I wouldn't seek out books that she narrated. Do you think Oath of Honor needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? no. Not impressed with the characters in this book. Any additional comments? If you don't mind that the characters miss the glaringly obvious then you may really like this book. Great story and a surprise or two! I liked the overall plot and the story moved along at a good pace. Narrator did a great job. Oath of Honor Riveting. The suspense is fast paced and non stop. The narrator was also outstanding. I'm looking forward to more by this author and am so thankful this was published on audio. I'm blind and listen to all my books.

While they investigate two missing persons cases in Chicago, Evie and David's conviction that justice is truly possible for all will be tested to the limit. Dee Henderson pens another compelling cold case mystery. Evie Blackwell's reputation as a top investigator for the Illinois State Police has landed her an appointment to the governor's new Missing Persons Task Force. This elite investigative team is launched with plenty of public fanfare. The governor has made this initiative a high priority, so they will have to produce results - and quickly. Evie and her new partner, David Marshal, are assigned to a pair of unrelated cases in suburban Chicago, and while both involve persons now missing for several years, the cases couldn't be more different. While Evie opens old wounds in a close-knit neighborhood to find a missing college student, David searches for a private investigator working for a high-powered client. With a deep conviction that "justice for all" truly matters, Evie and David are unrelenting in their search for the truth. But Evie must also find answers to the questions that lie just beneath the surface in her personal life. Members Reviews: another great book christian book I have all the books ms henderson has ever wtitten. there is not a bad book among any of them. I highly recommend this author to one and all. there is always mystery...they are clean books...whew..what a blessing not to have to listen to sex scenes. Awesome Dee Henderson has done it again, a wonderful suspense with just a little romance. When the recording ended I was surprised, not because I didn't know it was the end. But because I was so involved with the people in it, it was a shock to be back in real life again. An absolute must read. suspensions and spiritual I am thoroughly enjoying this series and am hopeful there are many more to come. Threads of Supicion almost perfect Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. It is one of the few books that really involve detective work without going into detail blood and gore, or unrealistic suspense sections where the killer gets by all the police, FBI, detectives and other law enforcements. What did you like best about this story? That Dee Henderson didn't try to have false closures to relationships. (Some don't always end in a perfect scenario) I also liked the way the crime was solved, and the detail surrounding it. Have you listened to any of Johanna Parkers other performances before? How does this one compare? She really was just as good as her others. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No. Any additional comments? The only thing that I didn't like, was the long monologue in a couple sections. I finally had to fast-forward to get past the two monologues in Evie's mind and Maggie's mind. Other than that, it really is a great book. Rewrite Needed Bad ending. I really dislike it when authors leave you hanging. Need to wait for the next Evie Blackwell to see if the lost threads are picked up. Not sure I care to wait.

She's very skilled at investigations and has steadily moved up through the ranks. She would like to find Mr. Right, but she has a hard time imagining how marriage could work, considering the demands of her job. Gabriel Thane is a lifetime resident of Carin County and now its sheriff, a job he loves. Gabe is committed to upholding the law and cares deeply for the residents he's sworn to protect. He, too, would like to find a lifetime companion, a marriage like his parents have. When Evie arrives in Carin, Illinois, it's to help launch a new task force dedicated to reexamining unsolved crimes across the state. Spearheading this trial run, Evie will work with the sheriff's department on a couple of its most troubling missing-person cases. As she reexamines old evidence to pull out a few tenuous new leads, she unearths a surprising connection...possibly to a third cold case. Evie's determined to solve the cases before she leaves Carin County, and Sheriff Thane, along with his family, will be key to those answers. Members Reviews: Excellent Narration! Enjoyed ~ Thoroughly. It was a very nicely written book, like all the others I've read by Dee Henderson. It's not filled with sex & gore which is a great break from most of the books I listen to. Real people doing real life things but with integrity & dignity. I lead a very simple life but I know behind the scenes of my ordinary existence there are crimes and the people that solve them, putting themselves in harms way. every day. and I like listening to their stories. Didn't want it to end This book was well written, suspenseful and I kept me up late to see if I could figure out the twists and turns. The narrator did an amazing job and hopefully this is the first of many more in a series. Well worth your credit Mind numbing Would you try another book from Dee Henderson and/or Johanna Parker? No What was most disappointing about Dee Hendersons story? Long, long, boring, mind numbing conversations. What do you think the narrator could have done better? It was read in a slow monotonous manner that matched the mind numbing content and yet somehow made it even worse. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Traces of Guilt? Lots and lots of unnecessary conversation. Any additional comments? Great premise with lots of promise. Most of the book was spent talking ad nauseum about stuff and then suddenlty a development would get thrown in like an after thought. great book a great book by a great story teller who can weave faith in with ease New Series! Wow! The new characters, including Evie Blackwell are so interesting..if you enjoy Dee Henderson's series you will enjoy this first one. The depth of the plot has many twists and turns that keep you wondering how it will end.. A small town in Illinois and the lives of the people in it. How well do you really know your neighbors?

The story was very entertaining and kept me hooked through the end. The religious aspect of it was light and the mystery kept me trying to figure out what was going on. The romance was sweet.

The bizarre incidents don't stop there. Other places also get broken in. Could they be linked? The Narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. It also concludes on a good note.

Title: We'll Always Have Christmas Author: Jenny Hale Narrator: Helene Maksoud Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-29-17 Publisher: Bookouture Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 154 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: An enchanting story about the magic of Christmas, the importance of family, and the joy of falling in love during the most romantic season of the year.... Christmas has always been a special time for Noelle Parker. Winter evenings spent with family and friends, drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies at her family's cozy bakery have shaped her love for all things festive. But this year everything is changing.... The beloved bakery is facing closure and Noelle needs a miracle to save Christmas. Determined to raise funds for the family business, Noelle sets about revamping the bakery while juggling a surprise new job, caring for the elderly and cantankerous William Harrington in his luxurious, sprawling mansion. As Noelle melts the frostiness of the house with cake baking, snowball fights and glittering decorations, she helps William to reconnect with a romance that has spanned decades and unexpectedly finds herself falling for his grandson - the gorgeous but mysterious Alexander Harrington... In the countdown to Christmas, can Noelle save the bakery, reunite a family and create some magical memories of her own along the way? Unwrap the feeling of Christmas in this beautiful novel celebrating friendship, family and love that lasts a lifetime. We'll Always Have Christmas is the perfect treat for fans of Karen Swan, Susan Mallery, and Sue Moorcroft. Members Reviews: Not the usual fluff ok, it's still fluff I guess, but it really was a step above most Christmas romance books. First, it seemed to have less of a Christmas feel to it than many do, and that was a bit unfortunate, and it had one plot twist that was a stretch, but I forgave it that. What made it stand out was much more character development than most Christmas romance books. And overall just better writing. I'm a 60 year old man but I like Christmas romance books, so sue me. This one made me feel like crying several times... the mark of a successful read. Narrator was fine but be aware that she must be Canadian because some of the pronunciations are Canadian. Great book, I choose this book because it was in the Christian romance department. It's not Christian base; however it was a great read with no foul language, no sexual scenes. Like a really long hallmark movie This book was fine. It just seemed a little long winded. It was predictable and sweet. But I found myself ready for it to be over. Great story Loved it. Didn't want it to end. Narrator had a pleasant voice, enjoyable to listen to. This book made my day! I listened to this book on Christmas Day and the day could not have been sweeter. The story held my attention. I couldnt put it down (except for Christmas dinner, of course). This is a feel good story told with a most entertaining narrator. Five stars all around!

When Kari Baxter Jacobs finds out that her husband is involved in an adulterous relationship and wants a divorce, she decides she will love him and remain faithful to her marriage at all costs. This audiobook shows how God can redeem seemingly hopeless relationships, and it illustrates one of Gary Smalleys key messages: Love is a decision. Members Reviews: Very, very good book! I am a Christian and for me it is difficult to find books that are true to God's Word. This book is one of them. The writer has remembered that God's Word is Holy. The storyline is very good, but it is not all happy-happy because life is not all happy-happy. We all deal with trials and this book reminded me most of all that "His grace is sufficient" for me and I must always seek God's Will. The characters are very well developed and have depth. The story line is not plot driven, but rather character driven and I enjoy that. The narration by Sandra Burr is excellent. I intend on purchasing and reading/listening to this entire series. If you are a Christian, you will love this book. If you are a non-believer, buy this book because it may help you to understand God's Will for your own life. Either way, God Bless and thank you Mrs. Kingsbury for being a good and faithful servant to our Lord. Predictable I liked the story. And the message to follow God's plans not our own. It wasn't my favorite bc I didn't get any wrap up on other characters stories. And it was super predictable from the start. disappointed but good messages I had to work to get through this. I think it would have read better if I had read it. I found the reader difficult to listen to: a little syrupy and dramatic when it didn't call for it. Great messages though. Still, I gained by this audiobook. Redemption 1 Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this book to anyone who has lost a loved one or struggled with love , passions, feelings in life! What was one of the most memorable moments of Redemption? When the Football player held back his feelings to it was time to make his move What does Sandra Burr bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? intense thioughts and redemption is possible Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes Any additional comments? cant wait to read the rest of the series A little slow This book was a little slow, but I listened to it knowing that the Baxter books would get better. I am currently listening to Remember and loving it!

Newly wed and newly pregnant, Moriah is abandoned by her husband, Levi. He's left her, his family, and their faith without a backward glance. The community, stunned, rushes to the young woman's aid. But there is someone who feels more than just sympathy for Moriah. Gabriel Miller - Levi's twin - longs for an intimate commitment that might someday bind them to one another. Convinced of the impossibility of his dream, Gabriel settles for a mere friendship with the woman he loves. Moriah bravely goes on with her life, adjusting to her new role in their tight-knit Amish community and preparing for the birth of her child. She is unaware that her brief marriage - once idealized as the happiest time of her life - may have been merely a shadow of the kind of love God has created for her. A love that can mend the soul, renew her heart, and give her a future filled with hope...if she'll only let it. Critic Reviews: "This series launch by the coauthor of An Amish Christmas will appeal to readers of contemporary Amish love stories. The characters are well drawn, and the plot involves a sweet but winning romance." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Most Entertaining Every story I read by Ms. Fuller is more entertaining than the last, and I thought the first was great when I read it. I'm just so happy that you seem to so enjoy your craft, Ms. Fuller, that I'm going to have many an hour of enjoyment this year. Thank you. By the way, I'm sure that God is proud of your efforts, too, because you always give Him the glory for your happy endings - without preaching. A Man of His Word Moriah Miller has married the man she loves. Levi was her playmate growing up, and it seemed natural for them to grow up and marry. But on their four month anniversary, when Moriah plans big news--she's having a baby--Levi springs even bigger news. He's leaving her and the Amish. He found his life among outsiders. Levi's twin, Gabriel, goes after Levi, telling Levi that Moriah is expecting, but Levi says he had an affair with another woman, his boss's daughter, and she is also expecting. He plans to give Moriah and her child up, permanently. Gabriel has always loved Moriah, but since divorce wasn't allowed among the people, Moriah will never be allowed to marry. All he can do is step in where his brother stepped out, and try to take the best care of Moriah and her child as he possibly can. Is there any hope for a brighter future? A MAN OF HIS WORD is a great Amish story. I loved getting to know Moriah and the men in her life. There is also a secondary romance between Moriah's brother, Tobias, and another young lady that was fun to watch. Like most of America, I do enjoy Amish stories, and my favorite author has always been Beverly Lewis. However, Kathleen Fuller is definitely an author I'm going to read. Her books are moving up on my favorite Amish authors list. If you love Amish fiction, then keep Kathleen Fuller's A MAN OF HIS WORD in mind. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. $14.99. 288 pages. A man of his word I loved this book and all the characters. Good story line was very hard to keep my eyes off of my book. Kathleen tells very good story's of the Amish. I can't wait to read the next one.

Mary Catherine grew up in a comfortable life despite an array of health issues, including a congenital heart condition (which she quietly obsesses over). She loves her parents, who are quite wealthy, but the lifestyle never appealed to her. Instead she pursues meaning through an abundance of charity work, always giving away a part of herself in service of others. After her project with a local youth center comes to an end, Mary Catherine decides to travel to Uganda on a mission to meet the two children she sponsors - and to find out if her donations are actually helping. Accompanied by Tyler, Sami, and Marcus Dillinger, Mary Catherine arrives in Africa only to find a makeshift orphanage with 17 children and no one to care for them. They return home with heavy hearts, and Mary Catherine knows there is more work to be done. Intent on returning to Africa, Mary Catherine quits her job and leaves a budding romance behind to fulfill her desire to help others. Inspirational and moving, Chasing Sunsets is the story of one woman's deep longings of the soul and the sacrifices she's willing to make in search of healing. Members Reviews: Good reminder Truly enjoyed the book. I'm a guy reader so every time I told someone I was reading this book they would say "sounds like a chic book". lol! It's easy to get attached to plot and most of all reminded me even after 13 yrs of marriage I still need to chase and love my wife with all my being. And... There is so much power in the name of Jesus! Storyline good, but not enough substance This book did not read as a complete story. It is a series, but too many loose ends. Storyline for certain characters was too developed to be left dangling for next book. This made the book seem hollow and unfulfilling. One of Karen's Best I love Karen Kingbury! This book does not disappoint. Love the suspense of the book. I can't wait for the next book. Karen K Great series cannot wait for the next book to find out the destiny of Marcus and Tyler . First Two KK books I have read ... Another heartwarming novel Another heartwarming novel by my favorite author. Brought me to tears, can't wait for the next book in this series.

I have read so many books that builds the bad guy up to be so smart and then catching him is so uneventful. this book has a well thought out ending and I was not ready for not only how they were caught but who was involved. thanks for a great story with a great finish. I have been listening to audio books for a year and have listened to many great books and this is the first review I have done because the acknowledgement needed to be said. Great Suspense Novel Loved this book! Suspenseful and Captivating story that I would feel comfortable with my 13 year old reading Worth the time... This is the first book in the series... Good story, good characters and interesting plot. Didn't know for sure who the stalker was I read a lot and usually figure it out about halfway through, nice twists and enjoyed the story. 4 hours was enough for me Would you try another book from Lynette Eason and/or Rachel Dulude? NO Would you ever listen to anything by Lynette Eason again? Probably not Any additional comments? I'm not a fan of romance novels, but I DO enjoy mysteries and detective/police stories, so I thought I'd give this author a try. I do not enjoy books with vulgar language or sexual situations, and after reading some of the reviews, I thought I might like this. Also, I am a Christian, so the religious aspect is acceptable to me. All of that said, I listened to 4 hours of this book, then gave up. Maybe I watch too many detective stories on TV, or have listened to too many mysteries on audio, but as I listened to this book, I kept thinking the following: (WARNING, SPOILER HERE:) What woman who is fixated on a man who is not interested in her would attempt to kill him? Just didn't make any sense to me. The performer did a good job, though. I'm going back to Anne Perry, Charles Todd, Simon Brett and Jacqueline Winspear.

A twist of fate. A second chance. From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Mistletoe Promise and The Walk comes the first novel in a riveting new trilogy that explores the tantalizing question: What if you could start over? Chicago celebrity Charles James can't shake the nightmare that wakes him each night. He sees himself walking down a long, broken highway, the sides of which are lit in flames. Where is he going? Why is he walking? What is the wailing he hears around him? By day he wonders why he's so haunted and unhappy when he has all he ever wanted - fame, fans, and fortune and the lavish lifestyle it affords him. Coming from a childhood of poverty and pain, this is what he's dreamed of. But now, at the pinnacle of his career, he's started to wonder if he's wanted the wrong things. His wealth has come legally but questionably, from the power of his personality, seducing people out of their hard-earned money. When he learns that one of his customers has committed suicide because of financial ruin, Charles is shaken. The cracks in his facade start to break down, spurring him to question everything: his choices, his relationships, his future, and the type of man he's become. Then a twist of fate changes everything. Charles is granted something very remarkable: a second chance. The question is: What will he do with it? The Broken Road is the first book in a much-anticipated new trilogy by beloved storyteller Richard Paul Evans. It is an engrossing, contemplative story of redemption and grace and the power of second chances. It is an epic journey you won't soon forget. Members Reviews: Not a Richard Paul Evans Book! Disappointment is an understatement! I have read or listened to all Richard Paul Evans' books and loved them. This was a horrible book, especially containing so much about domestic abuse and abuse of a child. If he is going to continue to write books like this, I will no longer listen to or read his books. A lot to learn and think about. I loved the story in this book and I loved that Richard himself narrated it! Everyone should read this book and learn a lesson about not allowing money and fame to cause the loss of what's important in life. Joyce Williams great book! Loved it! I was hooked from the very beginning! Mr. Evans please keep writing awesome books!! Just Okay Very predictable. Not as good as Evan's book usually are. A little disappointed however always enjoy his voice and talent for story telling. Wow! Very nice open ended story. Follow up? I love how the book starts. If only Jessie james had a 2nd chance! Route 66 will never be the same.

Members Reviews: great series I loved this series at Moses Lake. Characters were rich with humor and faith. great. Excellent all the way around The story kept my interest from start to finish. The language was clean and the morals were well-established you had ample bad guys and villains to deal with, but good always wins out. Narrator was excellent. Will definitely listen to more from this writer Unexpected pleasure Lisa Wingate has written another winner that keeps readers engaged from the first sentence to the last. While this love-at-first sight offering might seem a bit cliche at the onset, Lisa's characters are wound together in such a way as to present a depth not often found in such novels. Whether you're familiar with the Moses Lake series or not, this story is a highly entertaining read that can't be missed. Good book I enjoyed the story line but think Me Winggate's style has improved throu her latest books love Lisa Wingate, not hurt best story lisa wingate is s wonderful, prolific writer, however the main character in this book fell short, doing unrealistic things.

I have preordered #2. Cynthia Farrell does an outstanding job as the Narrator. Accepting God and his plan for your life is not always cut and dried. This story line shows what can happen when we allow God to be God and listen to him in our hearts. Susan May Warren has done it again. Even though I am already a HUGE fan of Susan May Warren, she has out done herself again. Finished it in 2 days. However to make it better, Cynthia Farrell performance was captivating. With Susan's magic words and Cynthia narration of it, I couldn't pit it down. Wonderful book One of the best books I have listened to. There was suspense, mystery, intrigue and of course a beautiful love story. Touching story The story as well as audible recording gave me warm fuzzies! Enjoyed characters and the underlying meaning of faith! Messy collection of characters I love Warren. I will not read the rest of this series, however. It is such a collection of people with their collections of selfish misdirections and manipulations that I just found it persistently uncomfortable.

Amaryllis "Ami" Bloom's cheerful smile greets everyone in Good Hope, Wisconsin. But her merry façade hides a dark secret she won't ever forget. Still, she throws herself into celebrating Christmas - and convinces her handsome, and stubborn, new neighbor to join her. Beckett Cross, however, is determined not to celebrate the holidays. He moved to Good Hope to leave behind reminders of how he'd had it all...and lost everything. But it's hard to resist the adorable Ami, the designated keeper of the small town's holiday traditions, when she asks for help with the 12 Nights celebration. And Ami has a hard time resisting Beck's soft Southern drawl and gentle eyes. Will a Christmas miracle give them a second chance at love and the hope to heal both of their hearts for good? Members Reviews: Christmastime in a Smalltown, USA Sweet story. Ami owns a bakery next to the cafe that was recently bought by Beck Cross. Ami quickly befriended Beck and they have a daily ritual of morning coffee together. As part of her 'initiation' into the ladies auxiliary, Ami is tasked with talking Beck into opening his house up for the annual Christmas tour...something in which the previous owner participated. Ami is an all-around do-gooder. She collects donations for various charitable groups, delivers food baskets, etc....and she's slowly breaking through the ice around Beck's heart. Beck moved to the town when after a devastating personal tragedy and not looking for romance...but there's just something about Ami. We see the relationship grow into move than friends and start feeling happy but, will this truly last? Each has a secret that they haven't shared. We do get an HEA...yay! Christmas In Good Hope This book was a very sweet romance full of compassion, forgiveness, and neighborly love. The author did a good job telling the story of Ami Bloom and Beck Cross. Without being weighted down there backstory was woven in to give understanding into the depth of these two. Enjoyed the flow of the book and how the couples conflict did not drag on forever like in some romance novels. Looking forward to reading the remainder of the series and seeing other characters stories unfold. Amy McFadden was an excellent narrator. Predictable I've enjoyed this narrator reading other stories but here she seemed flat and uninteresting. I didn't mind how she did the main character but the others just lacked any pizazz. Several sounded the same. The writing was similar. Even though most of the characters were several years past college and were the business people and upstanding citizens of the town, they seemed extremely immature. Also the whole premise of a furnace not working in a business that far north and NOT affecting business seemed far-fetched. Plus it was hardly mentioned after the opening chapters. Finally, the one sex scene was far more graphic than what I am used to and really didn't contribute to the story. Doesn't anyone use window shades any more? A Surprised LOVE for series What made the experience of listening to Christmas in Good Hope the most enjoyable? The narrator was excellent.

Abducted at the age of sixteen and coerced into assisting the Jacoby crime family, Shannon Bliss has finally found a way out. She desperately wants to resume some semblance of normal life, but she also knows she has some unfinished business to attend to. She has enough evidence to put her captors behind bars for a very long time. When Shannon contacts private investigator and former cop Matthew Dane to help her navigate her reentry into society, she quickly discovers that gaining her freedom doesn't mean her troubles are over. For one thing her brother is the leading candidate in the race for Illinois governor, and news of her escape will create a media frenzy. For another the ransom her family reportedly paid years earlier appears to have been a scam; no one knows what happened to the money. And then there's the fact that Shannon's escape involved faking her own death. If the Jacoby family learns she is still alive, they'll stop at nothing to silence her. If justice is to be done, and if Shannon's life is ever to get on track again, Matthew will need to discover exactly what happened to her - even if it means stirring up a hornet's nest of secrets. Members Reviews: Good Story but don't expect a thrill ride. Dee Henderson is a very good author over all. This is a story that can help an average individual understand the reprecussions of abuse on a large scale. Do not expect this story to move fast because you will be greatly disappointed. Shannon's story of captivity for 11 years is difficult to comprehend, but the author addresses her story with great compassion and sensitivity toward her time of recovering a life again. This story also speaks to how God is a rock to lean on during times of trial and shifting sands. Matthew Dayne is a sensitive man that understands from his own daughter's story how difficult it is to put away a troubled past. Not that I am criticizing the author here, but as a single woman I want to know who she based Matthew's character on and how can I get his number. The other characters we meet in this story are also men of great sensitivity and character. I do have to wonder after a while how many men out there are really like this? And where can I meet them? But seriously, this is a well rounded novel and I appreciated the story very much. as for the narrator Adam Verner, I found his narration to be over all fine. I do not know if Mr. Verner read this book specifically intending the gentle controlled emotional tone in production. To a certain extent it fits with the story because every time Matthew speaks to Shannon he is trying not to give off a lot of emotion. But I do think some may find that emotional control to be annoying by the end of the book. Some may call it a monotone and emotionally neutral speaking voice . As a result , others may find it difficult to stay awake for the audiobook. Make sure you listen to the sample and ask yourself if you can handle that same effect for 12 plus hours. I give this story an overall 4 stars. I will look up other Dee Henderson books in the future but I do hope if Adam is narrating that he shows more emotion in other books. 2.5 Boring Most Of The Time This is my second try at a book from Dee Anderson and definitely my last.

It was fun to get to know each of the characters as their time on the cruise let them get to know each other as well--and fall in love. The narrator, Ingram, did a great job. A fun story that made me smile while wringing my heart.

Dubbed the "Queen of Christian Fiction" by Time magazine, number-one New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Karen Kingsbury is arguably America's favorite inspirational novelist with a dozen best sellers to her credit. In The Chance, she delves deeply into a theme that resonates with us all: It's never too late for those willing to take a chance. Years ago, the day before Ellie moved from Georgia to California, she and her best friend, Nolan, sat beneath the Spanish moss of an ancient oak tree where they wrote letters to each other, and sealed them in a rusty old metal box. The plan was to return 11 years later and read them. But now, as that date arrives, much has changed. Ellie, bereft of the faith she grew up with, is a single mom living in a tired apartment trying to make ends meet. Sometimes she watches television to catch a glimpse of her old friend - Nolan, now an NBA star, whose terrible personal tragedies fueled his faith and athletic drive in equal measure. But Nolan also suffers from a transcendent loneliness that nothing has ever eased. In their separate lives, as Ellie and Nolan move toward the possibility of a reunion at the oak tree, Kingsbury weaves a tale of heart-wrenching loss, the power of faith, and the wounds that only love can heal. Members Reviews: Deeply emotional, well worth listening to again!!! What did you love best about The Chance? This was a beautifully crafted book based on the miracle of restoration. In the weakest moments, God showed Himself strong on the characters behalf. Deeply emotional and well worth listening to again and again! Who was your favorite character and why? Nolan was my favorite character due to his strong moral conviction and his determination to follow through with the vision God planted in his heart as a child. What does January LaVoy bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? January did a great job with her narration, however, I wish she could have given the male characters their own distinct voice. I sometimes felt as she narrated the males, that they all sounded the same. I will say that she has a rather pleasant voice. She gives life to the story as her voice isn't monotone. Overall she did a fantastic job! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? A MOMENT? There were several moments, and some moments that ran into the next moment. As stated above, this is a highly emotional book that really engages the reader to feel beyond themselves. You get attached to the characters and you go through all the various emotions they experience throughout the story. Karen is gifted in making her stories true to life. Any additional comments? This is my favorite Karen Kingsbury novel thus far. I would recommend it to any book lover, no matter their preferred genre! If it were possible to rate it above 5 stars, this girl would be doing it! :) Fairly predictable but wonderful story! What made the experience of listening to The Chance the most enjoyable? This was a real "feel good story" and I was ready for that. I read a varied subject matter and I needed an uplifting story.

And when Cathleen Donaghue discovers the poor woman's condition, there's no way she'll walk away without helping. After all, she left her comfortable Boston home to help her brothers with their mining town medical practice because she wanted to make a difference. But the wild elements she encounters on this mission of mercy are nothing like she expected, especially the widow's mountain-man son who shows up out of the blue. Trapper Reuben Scott planned only a quick visit to his parents' homestead to check on them and tan his winter hides, but the strange woman standing at his mother's stove is a shock. And then she tells him his father has died and his mother is losing her mind. The sad news may bring an end to the life he's loved - trapping, living in the wild freedom of these mountains, working closely with the Indians - no one demanding he measure up. But he'll do anything for his family, what little he has left, that is. Even deal with the city woman who seems to connect with his confused mother. When tragedy strikes Cathleen's family, she's forced to choose between duty and the people who need her most. And the wrong decision could quickly lead to disaster. As the danger spirals out of her control, this impassive mountain man may be the only one with the skills to save her. But can she trust him with her heart, too? Members Reviews: Horrible audio but good story The story is good but it was extremely hard for me to finish the story. The audio sounds like the narrator was talking into a tin can. Towards the end of the story there was an extra long pause in the middle of a sentence making me think that not all of the story downloaded.

After catching the eye of the Cuban superstar, she hesitantly decides to leave her small Amish community in order to save it from the relentless attention of the paparazzi. Away from her close-knit family and the familiar rituals of her faith for the first time, Amanda goes on tour with the famous singer, and as she begins to see the world under Alejandro's care, she starts to appreciate life beyond the boundaries of home. Meanwhile, Alejandro is changing, too, and remembering what it feels like to be with someone who wants him despite - not because of - his celebrity. As their connection grows stronger and their differences shrink, Amanda will have to make a difficult choice: Return to her old life among the Plain, or stay in the limelight with the man she loves? Members Reviews: 4.5 Stars! Plain Change continues where Plain Fame left off and is equally as entertaining. Sarah Price has done a fantastic job of combining the two cultures of Alejandro and Amanda. Many things ring true of what both main characters encounter and experience as they get to know each other better, as well as their different worlds. I did have some frustrations, at times, with Amanda's lack of communication. Especially, when those times could have been moments for Amanda to explain more about her faith and why she believes - scriptural and morally. Aside from that, I still found the story compelling and romantic. I'm devoted to this series, now and looking forward to the next. Also, always a wonderful listen with the narrator of this series. Love is in the air In this book Amanda is introduced to Alejandro's world. The shopping scene reminded me of Pretty Woman except Amanda wasn't a willing participate. This book I felt wasn't as good as the first, one of the reasons was because Amanda constantly had flashbacks of her life on the farm and to me I don't feel like it helped or added anything to the book. With that being said, I still think this was a 5 star book. You will definitely fall in love with Alejandro yourself, he is my favorite character. The narrator does such a good job making him sound like the latin lover he is! The Plain Fame series book 2 amazing stunning.. funny.. tearful Sarah Price is very gifted.. This series is a must read.. I'm now I'm looking forward to the next books in this series.. Blessings A Series to Remember! This series messes with your life. You can't stop thinking about the characters, since they are excellently portrayed by the author. It is so real and down to earth, that you feel like you have met them somewhere or another. Probably, the best series I have read in a long time. It is delightfully better as an audiobook. I salute the narrator for a job well done. What a treat! I can't get my work done! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would certainly recommend this audiobook to anybody who enjoys a good romance story. I was never into romances and ordered this because I am "English" who grew up in Amish country.

Instead he's plunged back into a high-stakes fight when he crosses paths with a beautiful neighbor being targeted by a mysterious foe with deadly intent. After a disastrous Middle East mission ends his six-year Army Ranger career, Finn McGregor needs some downtime. A peaceful month in the woods sounds like the perfect way to decompress. But peace isn't on the agenda once he crosses paths with publishing executive Dana Lewis, a neighbor who is nursing wounds of her own. Someone seems bent on disrupting her stay in the lakeside cabin she inherited from her grandfather. As Finn and Dana work together to discover who is behind the disquieting pranks, the incidents begin to take on a menacing tone. And when it becomes apparent Dana's foe may have deadly intent, Finn finds himself back in the thick of the action - ready or not. Best-selling author Irene Hannon draws listeners into a web of psychological suspense where danger lurks in dark corners - and keeps them captive until the very end. Members Reviews: EXCELLENT STORY! I don't know if this was just a great story or if Therese Plummer pushed it over the top. I truly enjoyed this from start to finish. I've listened to several other books by Irene Hannon with other narrators and wasn't as engaged as I was with this one. I didn't stop listening and when I had to pause, I couldn't wait to get back. SOOOOO worth the credit! Tangled Webs An appropriate title for this book. The story of Finn and Dana was superb. It was nice to catch glimpses of all the McGregor brothers and their wives. Ms. Hannon does such an excellent job with her characters, the reader gets to know them well. The suspense is always riveting. I preferred the romance in this book better than the previous two. I believe Ms. Hannon achieved what she was aiming for in romance in this book. All of Ms. Hannon's books are fantastic and I look forward to all of them. Ms. Plummer always gives an outstanding performance. Weak plot I usually enjoy all her books - but this one had very little suspense to it. Very predictable loved them all very well written!! i wish there was more books in this series. i so enjoy her writing. Good Plot but very sappy. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would but would warn them of the incredible sappiness mentioned in the female's abundant "admiration" for the mail character. Very distracting but I'm a guy. Probably written for women. After all, written by a woman so we hear much more about her attraction to the male character and we hear of his admiration for her. What did you like best about this story? When the sappiness subsided and the plot grew thicker. Which character as performed by Therese Plummer was your favorite? Finn McGregor Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Nope. Any additional comments? Way to heavy on the juvenile romance. Not enough actually storyline.

Members Reviews: Good Beach Story Good story, made me want to know more about how the characters lives turned out. I wasn't so crazy about the performance. That is probably just me though. I have listened to several books narrated by Devon O'Day and not really cared for them. For some reason I don't care for the way she reads them. That being said give the book a listen because the story is good. Audible 20 review sweepstakes entry. Fantastic captivating clean suspense Another GREAT story by Colleen Coble. It is a mix of mystery, suspense and clean romance with a tangled plot that keeps you reading. It is captivating from the first page until the last with twists that keep you guessing until the end. I loved it! loved this story loved this book and was pulled here and there with a surprise at the end. Colleen Coble I have never read a book I don't like!! I know everyone will love this book. uuuug. Narrator... boring and icky. Would you try another book from Colleen Coble and/or Devon O'Day? Colleen is good. Devon is horrid. Has Rosemary Cottage turned you off from other books in this genre? by anything O'Day narrates, I will never listen to or buy again. One is all I can take. How did the narrator detract from the book? Like a radio show...acting and too dramatic. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Outer Banks is my husband's home and I wanted to hear all about it, even in a fictional story. I can't listen do to the rambling, uneven, acting type narration. I want a book not a radio acting show. Any additional comments? I need refunds on three books!

Title: Once Upon a Prince Subtitle: The Royal Wedding Series, Book 1 Author: Rachel Hauck Narrator: Eleni Pappageorge Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs Language: English Release date: 10-29-13 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 389 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: A royal prince. An ordinary girl. An extraordinary royal wedding. Once Upon a Prince, the first novel in the Royal Wedding series by bestselling author Rachel Hauck, treats you to a modern-day fairy tale. Susanna Truitt never dreamed of a great romance or being treated like a princess - just to marry the man she has loved for twelve years. But life isn't going according to plan. When her high-school sweetheart breaks up with her instead of proposing, Susanna scrambles to rebuild her life. The last thing Prince Nathaniel expects to find on his American holiday to St. Simons Island is the queen of his heart. A prince has duties, and his family's tense political situation has chosen his bride for him. When Prince Nathaniel comes to Susanna's aid under the fabled Lover's Oak, he is blindsided by love. Their lives are worlds apart. He's a royal prince. She's an ordinary girl. But everything changes when Susanna receives an invitation to Nathaniel's coronation. It's the ultimate choice: his kingdom or her heart? God's will or their own? Critic Reviews: "This is classic romance at its very best." (Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Members Reviews: Exactly what it seems, but so unexpected! I hesitated buying it because it seemed cliche and just plain silly for a concept. But I found myself falling for the characters. And oddly enough, I was sold on the story. It became believable and sweet, romantic and real. The author created the world of Brighton and incorporated it into our world in such a way as to make the reader accept it without question. Of course it's still a bit cliche, and silly, and a bit sappy, but while I don't usually like those things, I did in this story. I loved the characters and felt for them. It was a book that should have been just ok, but that I felt myself really enjoying. Also, I thought she incorporated Christianity into it in such a way that made it part of the story. My pet peeve with Christian literature is when the author throws Christianity in as an afterthought. I like all kinds of literature, but if a Christian novel isn't centered on Christ, then what's the point? Good writing, great characters, a sweet, romantic easy listen. Very nice story What did you love best about Once Upon a Prince? I loved the Christian aspect of the story. It was a nice change from so many of the other books out there. Who was your favorite character and why? I loved Susanna the most. Her Southern spunkiness gave her the courage to never give up. What about Eleni Pappageorges performance did you like? She did a great job withe all the voices sounding different.Never give up If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Never give up, your dreams can come true. A good clean love story! If you are looking for a lighthearted novel that isn't full of sex and lies then this is your book! Sweet Little Love Story Sweet story yet a tad predictable. I enjoyed the Christian overtones. Worth a listen. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, BUT GOOD Would you listen to Once Upon a Prince again? Why? This story was so very different from what I'm use to reading. Sometimes its nice to know that a prince, king, or billionaire will love someone without having a physical relationship with them.

He's the one who stuck around to take care of his mother after his father's accidental death. And he's the one - perhaps the only one - who believes Sierra Rose is the perfect girl for him. Safe, practical, and organized, she's nothing like her hippie, impulsive, bleeding heart sister, Willow. Willow, however, has been in love with Sam Brooks for as long as she can remember. But she wants her sister to have a happy ending. Besides, Willow has other things to focus on - namely, nabbing the job as youth pastor for her small-town church. Best thing for her to do is to purge Sam from her heart. Neither can predict the events that will bring them together in a fight for their lives in the forbidding wilderness of Glacier National Park. Stranded, injured, and with the winter weather closing in, Sam and Willow will have to work together to save a crew of terrified teenagers. As they fight to survive, they might just discover a new hope for love. Members Reviews: Loved the Book. Narration -- Not so Much What did you love best about Rescue Me? I loved the continuing development of these characters! I especially loved that Sam finally recognized his love for Willow. I really love Susan May Warren's books and the fact that her stories are so detailed and well developed. What did you like best about this story? No question about it, I loved that Willow was willing to go to any lengths to save the teens. I was very impressed with Sam's & Quinn's heroic efforts to get help for Willow & the teens. I have to include Jess & Pete's encounter with the bear! Talk about drama! Kept me on the edge of my seat! Would you listen to another book narrated by Cynthia Farrell? No. I have this Audible & the first in this series, "Wild Montana Skies," also performed by this narrator. While I think this narrator has the ability to narrate books, I feel she does an injustice to this series. These books are action/energy stories. This narrator is just too stoic/laid back/lacking in energy for these books, I feel. If she just put more energy/emotion into her reading, I think she would do fine. But, I will not buy another Audible done by her at this point. Sorry. That's my opinion. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I did listen without turning the Audible off. Later, I listened via another Kindle voice reader and, although, it was somewhat halting, I felt it gave a better read. Any additional comments? I have almost all of Susan May Warren's books & love most of them! I have Audibles for many of them also and love those Audibles. I have read/listened to them over and over. I love that these books are based on Christian values without being preachy. What a captivating book!! This was an incredible book. It had moments that were so tense and alive with suspense I was on the edge of my seat. It is filled with adventure, love, relationship, mystery and a direct path straight to Jesus. It lead you home to the Lord with real issues faced by the characters and a direction to grow while working through their choices. Thanks for your heart on paper Susan May Warren.

The Healer's Apprentice Audiobook by Melanie Dickerson

Title: The Healer's Apprentice Author: Melanie Dickerson Narrator: Jude Mason Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-15 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 235 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: In author Melanie Dickenson's new book, a young healer's apprentice named Rose believes she will never marry...until she meets Lord Hamlin, the future ruler of her village. Hamlin is everything she could ever want - kind, understanding, and a man of faith - but her low station and the fact he's already betrothed to a mysterious woman makes their romance impossible. As Lord Hamlin seeks to find the sorcerer who cursed his future bride, Rose's life spins toward confusion. A creative retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty tale. Members Reviews: Mixed Feelings The time period, storyline and characters were appealing. However, the narrator was sooo one dimensional that it really ruined the book for me. Her inflections were ill-timed, emotions poorly emitted and I never knew when one person stopped speaking and the other began. The only voice variation portrayed was that of a more common English accent for 1 or 2 characters. Also, it was read entirely too fast, making it an anything but pleasurable read. I slowed it down a bit and found it more tolerable. I honestly feel that this could have been really great, had it been read by someone else (like Mary Sarah Agliotta). However, I can't discredit good story material. This has the potential for greatness, but in all honesty, I'm glad it's over. A book for the Faithful Melanie Dickerson takes the "fairy" out of fairytale. The classic love story is reinvented using the Christian/Catholic myths. Instead of good fairies you have the power of faith in Jesus and God and instead of a wicked fairy cruising the sleeping beauty's family you have a pagan follower bent on inflicting demonic possession. While it was an interesting take, it wasn't really what I was looking for. While it was interesting enough to finish this book, I will not continue to read Ms. Dickerson's works. The narrator was not as enjoyable to listen to as others I've experienced. She spends the first part of the book speaking too fast and has no variation in her character's voices. It was hard to tell who was speaking at any given point in time. This could be forgiven if she imparted some emotion into her delivery, but overall everyone always sounded only mildly interested in what was going on around them. Summary: Good book for the right audience, but you'll have to deal with some pretty shoddy narration. Had potential...with a different narrator I read this book, and all the books in the series, and I loved them all; I have loved reading each and every one of Melanie Dickerson's books, in each series. However, I was very disappointed by the narrator. Her voice itself was okay in general, but she used almost no different voices or tones to differentiate between characters. Switching voices for each character is kind of the point of narration, in my opinion. Not to be mean or disrespectful to Jude Mason, but I wish they had maybe used someone like Cassandra Campbell or Julia Whelan, both of whom do an amazing job at giving each character a unique voice. Boring Struggled to listen to this story, ugh. I feel like I was ripped off. Going to take the rest of the series out of my wish list. Love it! I absolutely loved this book. It was so cute and exciting and very interesting. Definitely recommend this!

So it should come as no surprise that in the beauty that surrounds Charleston, all is not as it seems. When her husband is killed by a car bomb while their band is on tour in Charleston, Alanna doesn't know where to turn. Her father-in-law is threatening to take custody of the baby she carries, but the one thing she knows for sure is that she can't lose the last piece of Liam she has left. Their manager offers her a marriage of convenience to gain her US citizenship and allow her to escape her father-in-law's control. It seems like the perfect solution...but her doubts begin almost as soon as she arrives at Barry's family home, a decaying mansion surrounded by swamp. To make matters worse, Liam's best friend survived the car bomb. She's never really liked Jesse, and now she can't seem to get away from him. When he takes Liam's place in their band, it's almost more than she can bear. But then things start happening. Things that could easily cost Alanna her life - or the life of her unborn child. Are they merely coincidences? Or is there something much more sinister at work? Members Reviews: An Intriguing Story! Any additional comments? I've read a couple of Colleen Coble's books in the past and really enjoyed them. I'll be honest, the description of this didn't really grab me when I first read it, but since I was offered the opportunity to review it, I decided to give it a shot. I really wanted to like it, but I'm afraid I just really didn't. I liked Alanna as a main character and really felt for her, but I also found myself getting very frustrated that such an independent and intelligent woman couldn't seem to see what was really going on. I did guess the major twist very early on (though I had read some spoiler reviews prior to reading this book so I had an idea of what the twist was before I even got started, so obviously I can't know for sure but I feel pretty certain that even had I not read those reviews I would have still realized very early on what the truth was) so it wasn't the mystery of whether or not my guess was correct that kept me reading, but rather interest in seeing how it would all finally play out! There were two things I loved about this book, the first was all the bits of Irish culture and such (By the way, I have also listened to the audio version of this book and I loved the narrator, she did a fabulous job with all the accents, Irish and Southern alike!) and the amazing descriptions of Blackwater hall and its surroundings, I was swept away and felt like I was really there which made the book a bit hard to read at times because things were just so creepy and I felt I was experiencing them alongside Alanna, it was kind of strange but bits and pieces of the setting kept reminding of two different movies "The Haunted Mansion" and "The Rescuers" not that this book was in anyway similar because it wasn't, it was just the ancient mansion/southern swamp/alligators as pets thing that made me think of these other stories as I was reading. This book is definitely not your typical suspense novel, but it was intriguing. If you are interested in a book that is different from the typical suspense read and don't mind suspending disbelief, I recommend this story.

A US Marshal in St. Louis, Missouri, she's assigned to a joint task force with the St. Louis PD that puts her back into contact with her father and in the sights of St. Louis's most powerful gang. When the gang has reason to believe Mercy has possession of some highly sensitive and incriminating information, her boss assigns Mark St. Laurent - a Deputy US Marshal and Mercy's ex-boyfriend - to get her out of town until they can guarantee her safety. Initially unaware of the danger she's in and uncomfortable working with Mark, Mercy's frustration escalates when she discovers the extent her boss and Mark have been keeping her in the dark. It isn't until a freak ice storm hits, stranding them at a remote location and out of contact with the district office, that the full severity of their situation becomes clear. As the storm worsens, the forces of nature combine with a deadly enemy closing in to put their lives at imminent risk. Can they survive long enough for help to arrive - if help is even coming at all? Members Reviews: A good read "Fatal Frost" is a good read. I read it rather slowly, only because life gets in the way of reading. Mark, Mercy, and Tally are believable characters... you know, not all books are believable, but this one is. And I love the redemption, the love the Father shows to each person in their own way that speaks to them most. If you like a little mystery and law enforcement books, you'll like this one! U. S. Marshalls I knew very little about the officers who serve as U. S. Marshalls before reading this book. The author shared many details in an interesting and exciting way. Great characters who make you want to be your best. Loved it! Page turner Excellent story line pointing out the struggles law enforcement deals with everyday. Ms.mehl uses real life like complex characters to tell a compelling page Turner. Keep the Faith Mercy, Mark, and Tally learned that even in the worst of times God is there. This story draws you in and keeps you hanging on til the end. Must Read Slow I didn't like the fact that the story moved so slow. When it got to 65% it began to pick up and it finished well.

Meanwhile, Cora is counting down the days until her own true love returns from the river to make her his bride. But days turn into months and months to years.

Grace Mallory is tired of running, of hiding. But when an old friend sends an after-hours telegraph transmission warning Grace that the man who has hunted her for nearly a year has discovered her location, she fears she has no choice. She can't let the villain she believes responsible for her father's death release his wrath in Harper's Station, the town that has sheltered her and blessed her with the dearest friends she's ever known. Amos Bledsoe prefers bicycles to horses and private conversations over the telegraph wire to social gatherings with young ladies who see him as nothing more than an oddity. His telegraph companion, the mysterious Miss G, listens eagerly to his ramblings every night and delights him with tales all her own. For months, their friendship - dare he believe, courtship? - has fed his hope that he has finally found the woman God intended for him. Yet when he takes the next step to meet her in person, he discovers her life is in peril, and Amos must decide if he can shed the cocoon of his quiet nature to become the hero Grace requires. Members Reviews: Great Story Enjoyable story that. Is full of anticipation and a little suspense. Great Christian author that has clean and uplifting stories. I love this book and books like it loved this book. suspense, love, deep characters, and much more. This was such an intriguing story from start to finish. Great book full of twists and turns. This book will hold your attention and keep you guessing yet not having you get bogged down with details. It is an easy read but very fun and clean. Excellent So vividly written and narrated, it felt like I was watching a movie instead of listening to words. Excellent message delivered as well that ministered to me. Very entertaining with excitement, mystery, adventure, depth of character and romance. Narrator made me not care for it. I love this author, and the story line was good, however, the I didn't care for the narrator. Her attempt at making voice impressions was terrible. She also read it too slow at times. I almost didn't finish the book because it was so annoying. If there was a different narrator, I would have rated it higher.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: The Schwartz family is happy to be spending Christmas on their new farm in Hart County. But when Susanna Schwartz hears gunshots that cause her buggy to overturn, and then her little sister falls through a wooden bridge into an icy creek, it becomes clear from these dangerous "accidents" that someone wants the family gone. Neil Vance has been heartbroken ever since his parents lost their family farm. He knows it's not the Schwartz family's fault, but he can't help but be resentful...until he meets Susanna. She is kindhearted and bold, and Neil can't stop thinking about her pretty green eyes. While Neil believes the accidents are just chance, Susanna's father is convinced that the Vance family is responsible. Yet Susanna can't imagine Neil would do anything to harm her. She's fallen in love with him and knows he is a good man. But her family is ready to pack up and move, and time is running out to uncover the truth before someone gets hurt...or worse. Members Reviews: The really like the author but at one point this drug out ... The really like the author but at one point this drug out and actually was boring. I was shocked It was the part when they were stuck in the cavem Five Stars Loved the book just wished it ended a little diverent Another great book This was yet another great book. Enjoyed following the twists and turns. I am really enjoying The Amish Hart County series. I have LOVED this entire series! I always feel like I'm coming home when I read Shelley Shepard Gray's books! Sometimes through no fault of our own making, things change in unexpected ways that leave us feeling upset and downright mad. When the Vance family put their farm up for sale, there were no takers for quite some time. Forced into the option by their Uncle whom their father has quite the debt to pay thanks to gambling issues, they were left with no choice than to take whatever was offered, even if it wasn't enough to settle the debt. While their Uncle demanded full payment or turning the property over to him to settle things, their father decided to take the next offer for far less than what the property was worth. He wasn't about to turn everything over to his brother in hopes of appeasing him. Just that one circumstance would set off a series of hostility to the new family whom the community seemed to have taken advantage of the situation, and an Amish family at that. The Schwartz family had hoped to embrace their new home and community but instead found themselves trying to justify how they were able to purchase the farm amid the rumors circulating about them. For Susanna, she loses control of her horse and buggy coming home during a winter's storm and feels that someone was shooting at her. Of course, that is easily explained away that hunters apparently forget just how close to the roads there were now that hunting season was in full swing. It cost her family a new horse and buggy. When a series of unfortunate accidents begin to happen on their farm and to their family, it appears as if someone is wishing them to move.

Harvest of Gold Audiobook by Tessa Afshar

Title: Harvest of Gold Author: Tessa Afshar Narrator: Laural Merlington Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-14 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 287 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: A hidden message, treachery, opposition, and a God-given success, will lead to an unlikely bounty. The scribe Sarah married Darius, and at times she feels as if she has married the Persian aristocracy too. But there is another thing she did not expect in her marriage - Sarah has grown to love her husband. She has wealth, property, honor, and power, yet securing her husband's love seems unattainable. And though Darius has been on numberless battlefields facing fierce enemies, he finds himself standing before Sarah with a fear he has never felt before - just because he wishes to express the truth to his wife. Members Reviews: Amazing story I really enjoyed this story. It made me reflect on my character & consider how I can correct my shortfalls. I also feel this book is amazing for marital counseling & reflection. Narrator is so great & makes the characters come alive... to the point that you can see the movie as it's being read to you. Great story!! I really enjoyed this sequel. It was well written, and while at times some behaviors seem odd they make sense in the context of the story itself. Darius's journey to The Lord is slow, characterized by his determination to avoid it, something I can relate to. It makes his slow and powerful change more compelling by the end. I also love how flawed Darius and Sarah are, how they hurt each other and struggle to become a good husband and wife to each other.. And the narrator does an excellent job performing the characters and voicing their personalities. Great book! Amazing I loved this book throughout, and listened every chance I got. Very good. Will probably get more books from this author. Brilliant! Tessa didn't disappoint, another masterpiece. She brought the story of Nehemiah to life in the most beautiful way, a story of love, faith and surrender to our loving Creator. I read in one day, I simply couldn't put it down. Stellar Biblical Love Story Tessa Afahar brilliantly brings the Biblical account of Nehemiah to life in this epic love story of Sarah and Darius, Jewish scribe and Persian nobility. While the two are joined together as husband and wife by both happenstance and fate, bringing their souls together proves to be another matter, altogether. Interwoven in the story of Sarah and Darius is the incredible account of Nehemiah's undertaking to rebuild the wall around his beloved Jerusalem. Add a murder plot against the king of Persia, a colorful cast of characters including an unconventional daughter of a noblemen who disguises herself as a man to help discover the identity of the conspirators, a caravan across the desert, and a test to earn forgiveness for an act of betrayal and you have the "Harvest of Gold." Only God and Tessa Afshar could deliver such a treasure.

The next, she learns that her fiancé, Wyatt Hammond, has been in a fatal car accident. Then comes a startling discovery: Wyatt's car wasn't heading toward the church. He was fifty miles away...with a baby gift in the backseat. Her faith shaken, Olivia pores over the clues left behind, desperate to know where Wyatt was going that day and why. As she begins uncovering secrets, she also navigates a tense relationship with her judgmental mother and tries to ignore the attentions of a former boyfriend who's moved back home. But when she starts receiving letters written by Wyatt before his death, she must confront a disturbing question: Can we ever know anyone fully, even someone we love? When an unexpected path forward - though nothing like the life she once envisioned - offers the promise of a new beginning, will she be strong enough to let go of the past and move toward it? Members Reviews: Discuses real life trials Very good book. It touched on some very real life situations. It is nice to find an author that doesn't use vulgar language. Mollys web Great story unlikable characters. Charlotte is the typical evangelical Christian, hypocritical she likes looking and quoting scriptures but dont know the real walk. Molly is a self centered selfish Southern bell. Whoa is me is her constant song. I get something life shattering happened to her, but at some point you got to start moving forward. Shes going to be a mother time to pull up her big girl panties. Narrators voice is perfect for Molly. The book ending is great wrap up for both mother and daughter. Wonderful Story This was not a book I would have chosen to read if it had not been written by someone whom I trusted to tell me a good story no matter the subject. Now, I want to read more by Mrs. Allan because I loved Since You've Been Gone and it was so refreshing to go outside my preferred genre and love a book. The characters were believable and easy to connect with, the storytelling was fluid, and the settings were easy to visualize. I did not, however, care for the narrator's accent. I realize she is from New Orleans just as I am, but she didn't sound like anyone I ever talk to. I also didn't think she understood where inflection belonged and I thought there were times in the story where she sounded like she was about to have a nap while the situation called for a more intense tone. Overall, though, I thought she did a nice job and would listen to another book narrated by her. Emotional, stressful When I started listening to this book "Since you've been gone", I felt as if this story has been told before..until half way through it was not the same story. As I don't give any book review away, just so that nobody will not purchase or will purchase due to what I have to say, I can say this story could have hit home if it wasn't fiction. A bride waiting at the alter, husband doesn't show up but is in a car crash just before he says, "I do". Why in Gods name did he do what he did? Why couldn't Olivia just accept his death? These were actually questions I had in my mind listening to it, but when it turned into something I didn't see coming, I couldn't put it down! I stayed up all night just to get by each chapter.

John King, his best friend - or so he thought - is engaged to the girl Reuben loved. Humiliated, Reuben flees from Ohio to his grandparents' home on Huckleberry Hill, where he knows he'll find comfort. He's enjoying wallowing in his misery - until John's sister, Fern, shows up. She won't stop pestering Reuben about forgiveness - or trying to help him find love again. Yet Fern's efforts only reawaken Reuben's long-buried feelings - for her.... With her brother too ashamed to face Reuben, it's fallen to Fern to help mend fences. But as she and the Helmuths do all they can - even organizing a knitting club event filled with eligible girls - it may take one more challenge to inspire Reuben to forget his heartache, recognize his own blunders, and embrace the true love that's right in front of him.... Members Reviews: Amazing I loved it. This story pulled on my heart strings so much without once making me dislike either of the main characters for any other their actions. The story was so skillfully crafted. I could only hope to be such a skillful writer/storyteller one day. I loved Reuben and Fern both so much it hurt, and I couldn't wait for them to find each other, and the love that they'd share. And find they did, right in front of their own noses. Ten stars if I could give it. What a fantastic job well done on this book Mrs. Beckstrand, five stars and more! Wonderful book! How excited I was to get an email telling me the new Huckleberry Hill book was out! This is the 6th book in the series and I absolutely LOVED it. Jennifer Beckstrand tells such a good story, the characters are well developed and somewhere along the way, you're sitting at the dining room table about to try and swallow Mammi's horrible cooking--the first one to make me swallow twice was her her oyster and water chestnut salad (yuck!). But when Fern showed up to bug Reuben into coming home, she had a big task on her hand. I started reading this book after breakfast and was as hooked as I could be. I skipped lunch and dinner I enjoyed it sooooo much. And I might as well confess, I even took. Y kindle to the bathroom with me. I know TMI! You are so gonna love this book! Fabulous Writing and Excellent Reading - Must Read Entire Series Everyone!!!! Nice clean romance novel with many twists and turns. Loved all of Jennifer's Books. Excellent Writer and It is As Others Have Said Fun Read. I just love Anna & Felty and Anna's recipes. I Jennifer writes about all of Anna & Felty's grandchildren so this series never ends. Looking forward to the Dec. 26th release. Return to Hucklrberry Hill Anna Helmuth is at it again! This is a cute, funny, lesson learning story involving Anna's grandson, Reuben and a friend's sister, Fern. As always, the stories centered at Huckleberry Hill are great! I most definitely recommend reading this story and all the other stories in this series. Love Jennifer Beckstrand If you haven't read any of her Huckleberry hill series you are missing out! Such a sweet story about a girl in love with her brothers best friend. Just like a boy not to even notice. He is proud and a bit stuck up but still has a sweet heart.

Shadowy forces are still working against them. Cole Boden finds himself caught between missing his time back East and all that New Mexico offers. Sure, he fights with his siblings now and then, but he does care for them. He enjoys running the mine and, when he's honest, he admits that Melanie Blake captures his interest in a way no other woman ever has. Melanie has been a friend to the Bodens forever. A cowgirl who is more comfortable with horses and lassoes than people, she never expected to find herself falling for someone. Particularly for refined Cole Boden, a Harvard graduate who may not stay long at the ranch. She's determined, however, to help the Bodens finally put an end to the danger that's threatened all of them. But will putting herself in harm's way be more dangerous than anyone expected? Members Reviews: A Lazy Day Autumn Read "Too Far Down" by Mary Connealy kept me scrolling through the screens to the very end. Couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen. A good, if slightly episodic, read to occupy a lazy Autumn weekend. The back cover blurb will give you a gist of the story so more won't be added here. This reviewer read the Kindle edition which could have been edited better and why it got fewer stars. All in all, this book tied up the loose threads from the previous two books and thus left this reader satisfied. Loved this! Mary Connealy did an awesome job. She sums everything up and even had me surprised by the ending. I loved this book! And my kids can read it as well without me worrying about whether or not itâs appropriate for them. Great ending to a great trilogy!!! Really enjoyed the wonderful way Mary wrapped up this trilogy!! I sincerely hope a new series comes along that allows us to peak in on the Bodens and Kincades again soon!! Good western Waiting for book #4 hopefully. This was book 3 and was very good. Enjoyed all three of the series and I hope there will be more. Good storyline and characters. I loved them. All three books were so intense I had to buy they. While I don't usually spend that much money on a book being on a budget but I don't couldn't help myself. They were so exciting. I loved them.

Twelve years ago, Owen Carr left Gold Valley - and his long-time girlfriend - in favor of a country music career in Nashville.

He needs a nanny to care for Marie so he can keep up with the demands of his busy job at Silver Creek - and Natalie Ringold is a godsend. She can cook, she cleans, Marie loves her - and she just so happens to be the long-time girlfriend that Owen hasn't made amends with. Yet. Married and divorced, Natalie teaches ballet at the dance studio in Gold Valley, but she never auditioned for the professional company the way she dreamed of doing. With Owen back, she realizes all the opportunities she missed out on when he left all those years ago - including a future with him. Members Reviews: Dreams Do Come True As usual, Liz Isaacson had me hooked in the first few pages of "Between the Reins". A common trait in all of Liz's writing. I feel comfortable saying if you see her name, read it! Even though their years following high school took Owen and Natalie in different directions, they were reunited after twelve years through a unique set of circumstances. They discover true love and dreams come true through genuine forgiveness. Uncle Owen was very impressive with his love for and dedication to his niece, Marie. I recommend this book. This is another amazing must read book by author Liz Isacson This is another amazing must read book by author Liz Isacson. This book is about 2nd chances, forgiveness, redemption, acceptance, and true Love, the kind of love that everyone involved become a family. The main characters in this book, Owen and Natalie, aren't perfect, They have been first loves, burned by second loves, and meet again and become soulmates. The characters are very real, and wholesome. This was a sweet, clean, romance. I would recommend this book to my friends. OWEN CARR NEEDS HELP TAKING CARE OF HIS NIECE LOOKING FOR A NANNY WHO SHOWS UP NATALIE RINGOLD THE WOMAN HE HAD LOVED Natalie Ringold is stunned when she comes face to face with Owen Carr to apply for the job of being a Nanny. She has not seen Owen since he left for Nashville to become a country music star. His sister and her husband had been killed in an auto accident leaving behind an eight year old daughter Marie. OWEN is very surprised to see her apply for the job he did not know she was back in town. This is a very good story and you will enjoy it as much as I did. Wonderful If Liz Isaacson's books were only about cowboys, I might pass because I've never been west of the Mississippi. If they were only romances, I might miss a few because there are lots of those books available. But because she skillfully combines those two elements with common struggles of faith, I look for her work regularly. So glad I didn't miss out on this one. This story left me Betweenthe reins, too! I like the strong faith which glowed throughout this book. I have to admit I had a great deal of trouble trying to understand how two people could overcome the separation these two experienced.

I have big trouble finishing this book! I actually love this writer's work, but could not really get into this story because of the far fetched story line. ** SPOILER ALERT: I'm not talking about him marrying her and taking her to the mansion. I am also not referring to the weird staff he employs (however as a sub plot it's a bit weird) or that they now move in the circles of the super rich... No. I am talking about her coming from Africa, as the daughter of a missionery and then turn out to be a vegetarian... No, no and no. I live in (South) Africa and we LIVE for our MEAT. Believe me: if you grew up in an African Village, you will NOT be a vegetarian. Where in the jungle will you find your tofu etc which she effortlesly prepares for him? Nope. That really has put me off. She even converted half the village to vegetarianism....(?) Then: she comes from the African jungle, seemingly rarely visited the modernised world, but she has this magical ability to cut up a designer dress and convert it into a stunning little outfit she thinks to plain. Not buying it. There are just to many little things like him thinking to late: oops, I rather should have bought her a big diamond, and should have taken her on a honeymoon, now what are rhe people going to say..? Etc etc. Four Stars For my wife. She like's it. Five Stars great read A very good read! Although this book title uses the word honest there isn't very much honesty that goes on at least not for the main female character. I really fell in love with the secondary couple their story is very sweet and very real. Nice story This author does a great job writing. I have read other books by her and am just as pleased with this story as I was with the others. Enjoy this and tell others about this book.

As an expectant widow, she is quite surprised when everyone from the bishop's wife to her brother decides that her baby needs a father. Anita endures many embarrassing moments as she's forced into one awkward situation after another. Even though another man is the last thing on her mind, she finds a friend in her sister-in-law's brother, Simon. Anita wonders why everyone has rejected Simon as a suitable match for her. Will Anita finally convince everyone that she and her baby are happy on their own? Could the man no one sees her with be the very man who eventually captures her heart? Critic Reviews: "Narrator Heather Henderson's warm, conversational style transports listeners to the uncommon world of the Pennsylvania Amish in this engaging story. Widow Anita Graber is five months pregnant when her brother, Amos, persuades her to return from Ohio to her childhood home to have her baby. Henderson's Graber is endearing and still adjusting to the death of her beloved husband when she boards the Greyhound bus east. Her domineering brother shocks her when he insists that she needs to find a husband. Sumptuous descriptions of the countryside, food, and men enthusiastically describing a new buggy will put listeners on the scene. The fascinating mix of English and Pennsylvania Dutch words such as 'Englisher' (non-Amish) and 'wunderbar' adds to the unique atmosphere. Henderson's heartwarming depiction of Graber's sweet courtship when she finds the ideal man makes for a satisfying listen." (AudioFile Magazine) Members Reviews: Short and Sweet I'm going to start by saying this is not my normal category for romance. I tried this out for the Audible Romance Category Challenge. While I can't say I'll read more Amish Romance anytime soon, I did enjoy the story line even if I found the story a little dull. It was sweet and I think maybe if it had been a little longer I may have enjoyed it more. I learned a little about the way the Amish speak that I didn't know before. In the end I would say this book is short & sweet! The narration was good, I think she was chipper which fit the story and characters well.

The hard decisions we make in life came to life ! I saw the Amish way of life in a different perspective . At times when driving I was yelling Go Hannah!! Really enjoyed this book! Changes in Life This story was about struggle within a person's conscience. It was fiction but could have been non-fiction in the everyday life of a young widow living in the Amish faith. It was well written and ended differently than you might suspect. A Hopeful Heart Another wonderful book by Amy Clipston. I look forward to the next one in this series.

It's the newest title in her popular Color of Heaven Series, where people are affected by real life magic and miracles that change everything they once believed about life and love. It's been three years since Emma Cochran endured the worst possible tragedy - the sudden, unexpected death of her two-year-old son. The emotional trauma tore her marriage apart, but now her divorce is final and she wants to begin again. She's found happiness at last with her fiancé, Luke, who is eager to start a family with her. On the other side of the country, single mother Bev Hutchinson watches helplessly as her five-year-old daughter Louise drowns in a high-profile boating accident. Miraculously, Louise is brought back to life by first-responders, then claims she went to heaven. The news causes a media frenzy surrounding the little girl, and Bev does everything she can to shield herself and her daughter from the relentless swarming of the press. Lives collide when Emma becomes obsessed with the story of the child, thousands of miles away, who drowned and went to heaven. She wants to connect with the mother, but Emma's fiancé is against the idea because he wants her to let go of her grief and move on. But sometimes, moving on isn't the right choice when miracles are leading you back to your past - toward something, or someone, who was your destiny all along. Members Reviews: Emotional, profound and always thought provoking! As usual, a tearjerker indeed! I read it all in one night! This is a very emotional, heartbreaking and joyful story.

Through Luke, Emma finally understands that she could not have avoided the tragedy. Emma and Luke begin to plan their wedding. Seemingly inconsequential, Emma sees a news report about a little girl who has almost drowned and is claiming to have been in heaven with loved ones. She decides to study the subject. Luke doesnât really believe in such things but doesnât let it bother him when Emma and her ex go see a medium. He figures they need closure. Her ex then decides to sell the family home and asks Emma to go help pack her sonâs room. As they spend more time together, they soon realize that time has healed old wounds. Emma does break Lukeâs heart. But as Luke looks at a webpage Emma left open on the story of the little girl who went to Heaven, he realizes he knows the mother. Looking at picture of the little girl, he soon realizes he must make contact. And when he does, he finds that heâs lost nothing and gained everything! These stories always make you ponder upon life and the choices we make. While life sometimes throws us off, it would appear that life is really just setting you straight. A deeply moving and magnificent book that you can't put down Bravo Julianne... you have outdone yourself with this latest book in the Color of Heaven series...

But her father's last words on the phone were unmistakable: "Find...mother." Shame and confusion have kept Mallory Davis from her home for the last 15 years, but when her dad mysteriously dies on his mail boat route, she doesn't have any choice but to go back to Mermaid Point. Mallory believes her father was murdered, and childhood sweetheart, Kevin O'Connor, game warden in Downeast Maine, confirms her suspicions. But Kevin is wary of helping Mallory in her search. She broke his heart - and left - without a word years ago. When Mallory begins receiving threats on her own life - and her beloved teenage daughter, Haylie's - their search intensifies. There's a tangled web within the supposed murder, and it involves much more than what meets the eye. As answers begin to fall into place, Mallory realizes her search is about more than finding her father's killer - it is also about finding herself again...and possibly about healing what was broken so long ago with Kevin. She just has to stay alive long enough to put all the pieces together. Members Reviews: Love this author the storylines kept you guessing, and kept you involved. The narrator did an excellent job and I look forward to the next Colleen Coble book that I read Colleen Does It Again What made the experience of listening to Mermaid Moon the most enjoyable? It was a great addition to the first book in the series: The Inn at Ocean's Edge. What did you like best about this story? It kept me guessing and wondering. Have you listened to any of Devon O'Days other performances before? How does this one compare? I love listening to Devon O'Day. She speaks clearly and doesn't mispronounce words. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Over the Moon, Once in a blue moon and now The Mermaid Moon Any additional comments? this was so enjoyable to listen to. It can be read without reading the first in the series but The ocean's Edge is good too. The Mermaid moon kept my attention the entire time. Feel the suspense, feel sea air, find out who doing this! The suspense is real, the characters are strong and if you read The Inn At Oceans Edge you already know some of the characters and want to follow then through this adventure too. You will use your imagination, and your faith to figure out whats happening and whos doing it! Loved the his book. Now on to book 3 Twilight At Blueberry Barrens Mermaid Moon I have yet to hear one book from her I didn't like. she always brings another unexpected twist in the series. Great Story! Great story! Romance, mystery, relationships, second chances, and some great twists and turns. Definitely recommend.

Banished from hearth and home, a vicar's 20-year-old daughter pays dearly for a single lapse in judgment. To avoid the scorn of local villagers, Charlotte Lamb wends her way to the forbidding Milkweed Manor on the outskirts of London. Concealing her identity, she finds refuge within the dank confines of this mysterious bastion of old secrets and new life. She soon encounters a former suitor, harboring secrets of his own. Firmly relying on God's strength, both resolve to protect their loved ones. But neither realizes the level of self-sacrifice this will require. ©2007 Julie Klassen; (P)2008 Recorded Books,LLC Members Reviews: PART MISSING!! I hoped that since the previous review was clear back in April of 2010 this missing part would be fixed but alas it was not. It is a disappointment. It is such a good story and good narration. I hope audible will make amends for this. Missing portion I liked the book and the narrator very much. However, the recording I got was missing part of chapter 28 through Chapter 30. I don't know if this has been fixed yet. The original recording is supposed to be 12 hr. and 25 minutes. This one was 11 hr. and 48 minutes. Excellent Listen Great narrator, excellent characterization and an interesting storyline. Easy listen. I believe this was Ms. Klassen's debut book. I enjoyed this very much. I can see where some readers might be put off by some of the topics covered in this book, perhaps those who have never born and nursed a child. Issues of adoption and loss were very touching and very well handled as was the topic of mania (in a minor character). Fresh voice and unafraid to tackle touch topics and embed them in a great historical fiction. So depressing..... What disappointed you about Lady of Milkweed Manor? I have read all of Julie Klassen's books. This one was the worst. It was so depressing. But because I was determined to finish it out I kept going. The information the author collected was good. You could tell she put a lot of effort into gathering historical facts etc. It talks a lot about and describes breast feeding in great detail. My husband walked in while I was listening to a particular section on nursing and asked, "What the heck are you listening too?" What do you think your next listen will be? My next audiobook will be by Sarah M. Eden called Longing For Home. What do you think the narrator could have done better? I thought the narrator was fine. He had a nice strong voice. However, when he did the voices of female characters (which was a lot) it was almost comical. Definitely would have been better read by a woman. What character would you cut from Lady of Milkweed Manor? That's a dumb question. I wouldn't "cut" out characters. It wasn't the characters that were the issue. Any additional comments? I believe this was the first or one of the first books Julie Klassen wrote. Her writing style and stories have gotten better with time. She definitely does her research when she writes a historical romance, which I can appreciate, and am sure takes a lot of time and effort.

Since they spend more time apart than together, she decides to join her superstar husband in the spotlight and accompany him on his South American tour. Despite their deep love for each other, the pressures of maintaining Alejandro's fame and the media's constant hounding begin to take a toll on the young couple. When someone from his past makes a startling appearance during the tour, Amanda is forced to face not only the complexities of his hedonistic past - and the unexpected responsibilities that accompany it - but also her own desire to return to a simple life rooted in devotion to family and God. As Amanda's needs start to conflict with Alejandro's obligations, the couple must decide if their love is strong enough to save their new marriage. Members Reviews: Riveting I have listened to all the books in this series. Book 4 was the best. Can't wait for the next. A very heart throbbing, entertaining series. Romance, suspense, adventure and power all in one. Life is messy I'm so invested in the life of Alejandro and Amanda that the ending of this book made me cry. I think because of Amanda's upbringing she didn't share a lot of her feelings with Alejandro and to me it built up resentment in Amanda which I think was more of the reason to leave the tour and go to Lancaster. Did Alejandro make the right choice to let Amanda stay? We will see... With the exception to this book the series has been great Suddenly Amanda has become a weak woman in this book. Her strong personality and honesty is dwindled and her unwillingness to communicate is absurd. I am going to read the last installment because I am so far along in the series but be aware about mid point in this book Amanda is a Debby downer to say the least. I loved the first 3 books in the series... ..... But this installment was disappointing . The "heroine" became silly and foolish... Good parents understand their marriage must come first. first one in this series that I was disappointed w obviously, there is another book to be written after this one. in which case, the storyline may be redeemed, but standing as it is I was very disappointed in this book's storyline overall. Both main characters acted totally independent of the other without consulting the other or working together as a team. Each one deciding what they thought was best for themselves or for a child or for the whole situation without making any compromises as must happen in any good marriage. Also it was obvious that the child's needs we're always placed above the spouse's needs even at the cost of the marriage. the difference between culture and godliness becomes blurred in Amanda's mind as she begins to equate her cultural upbringing with godliness and as automatically being God's will as opposed to culture. Also, in Alejandro's mind he totally separate his Christianity from his stage / partying character as though the two can be kept separate and that stage life and party life are not accountable to God for their purity because it is part of his job and not where his heart really is.

And every day since that incident, Aden has lived with guilt for not intervening sooner. When he is faced with the chance to protect Sadie once again, he can't let her down - even if it means living with the scorn of the woman he loves for the rest of his life.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Terrible Narrator I returned this book because the narrator was terrible. her performance is stilted, choppy and monotone. There is little difference between the voices of different characters I could have read this book better and I can't read out loud worth beans. Good and not so good The story is good. The narrator is terrible. Speed up the narration to 1.25 and it will help. Loved it!! One of the best Amish books yet!!!

I wasn't sure I would have enjoyed the book when I first started since this isn't my usual read. The storyline was painful....heart wrenching even but the happily ever after made it worth it. This isn't just a love story. It's a redemption story. It's a journey towards forgiveness. One worth reading.

Title: Sabotaged Author: Dani Pettrey Narrator: Christina Moore Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 192 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Growing up, goody-two-shoes Kirra Jacobs and troublemaker Reef McKenna were always at odds. Now paired together on Yancey's search-and-rescue canine unit, they begin to put aside old arguments as they come to see each other in a different light. Then a call comes in from the Iditarod that will push them to their limits. Kirra's uncle, a musher in the race, has disappeared. Kirra and Reef quickly track the man, but what they discover is harrowing. Frank's daughter has been kidnapped. In order to save her, the man must use his knowledge as a mechanical engineer to do the kidnapper's bidding or she will die. Kirra and Reef, along with the entire McKenna family, are thrown into a race to stop a shadowy villain who is not only threatening a girl's life, but appears willing to unleash one of the largest disasters Alaska has ever seen. Members Reviews: Book 5 in Alaskan Courage series. Best series eve Kirra is a native of Yancy who went away for college but has returned to take over her dad's vet clinic. We know that from Kayden and Jake's book. Kirra is the neice of an Iditarod racer, Frank, who is forced to leave the race and break the law. Kirra's cousin, Meg, is kidnapped to insure Frank completes his task before the race ends. Reef McKenna is the last of his family to find God and love. He is Kirra's life long nemesis (since age 5 when he called her stinky girl at recess) and SAR partner during the race. When they discover Meg has been kidnapped and Frank is being forced to do things he would never consider, they band together to save each other and Kirra's family. I have loved each and every book in this series. Every book including this one starts off with action and suspense and never looses momentum. Occasional reader I enjoyed this one, just as I did all of the ones before it. I am just sorry this is the last one in the Alaskan series. Love Dani's Books!!! I love the 'Alaskan series' by Dani Pettrey about the 'McKenna family'. Dani is one of my favorite authors. I love her great storytelling and combination of romance with adventure! I also am so thankful that her books are also available as audiobooks. [Spoiler Alert!]: I only have two small suggestions: I wish that the male main character in this book, Reef, could have sounded more "manly" (but I know that's super hard to do with a female narrator) and that Meg would have said something at the end of the book... since she was the one being rescued. I wondered throughout the book if she may have been "in on it" and that was neither completely proved nor disproved in the end. More of the same but I do love this family. What did you love best about Sabotaged? It was nice to listen to the final chapter of the McKenna family. Sabotaged was similar to previous stories centered around the family, but I enjoyed the continuous bond they share even in times of tragedy. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) The mystery had some elements of surprise. How things ended for the McKenna siblings and their love interests were predictable if you listened to the previous books in this series. Which scene was your favorite? There was not one scene that really stood out to me.

In the years spent quietly dealing with her burdens and dutifully caring for others, she forgot her sense of self and ability to feel. But after her first husband's untimely death, she gets a second chance with Reuben Troyer, a godly man who welcomes Rosanna and her two children into his life. Despite the love and respect she finds in her new marriage, Rosanna soon learns that juggling the demands of her family and church community is more than she can handle. When Rosanna becomes ill, she is forced to confront a hard truth: One empty cup cannot fill another. For a woman who has spent her life giving, will Rosanna finally be able to let go and receive? Members Reviews: Not much excitement The story line is very predictable. Story is based on one character and her real weak mess. I am sure many women caved under dominant husbands. But the 22 chapters went on like a broken record. Kudos Kudos to the author for addressing mental health issues. I especially appreciated the support received by Rosannas husband. Good story overall Got a little tedious at times but overall I would recommend it. The reading is very good. An Empty Cup a Full Blessing I loved this book. It read as a woman's reflection but also imparted a gentle sermon on grace and forgiveness. I found it warm and touching, as well as a fine story. The soft and clear reading was soothing and easy to listen to. It was a wonderful reminder to be aware of mental illness and depression and be supportive. I highly recommend this book. This was terrible I'm not sure why I kept listening, I guess I was being optimistic that it would get better. I'm still trying to figure out what the plot was! Really bad. The narration was laughable at times; I'm still trying to figure out why the narrator gave the neighbors daughter a strong southern accent while we knew she grew up in Pennsylvania! Don't waste your time, money or earbuds on this one!

In the fallout of her deceased father's financial ruin, Annabelle's prospects are looking bleak. Her fiancé has called off their betrothal, and now she remains at the mercy of her controlling and often cruel brother. Annabelle soon faces the fact that her only hope for a better life is to do the unthinkable and run away to Fellsworth, the home of her long-estranged aunt and uncle, where a teaching position awaits her. Working for a wage for the first time in her life forces Annabelle to adapt to often unpleasant situations as friendships and roles she's taken for granted are called into question. Owen Locke is unswerving in his commitments. As a widower and father, he is fiercely protective of his only daughter. As an industrious gamekeeper, he is intent on keeping poachers at bay even though his ambition has always been to eventually purchase land that he can call his own. When a chance encounter introduces him to the lovely Annabelle Thorley, his steady life is shaken. For the first time since his wife's tragic death, Owen begins to dream of a second chance at love. As Owen and Annabelle grow closer, ominous forces threaten the peace they thought they'd found. Poachers, mysterious strangers, and murderers converge at Fellsworth, forcing Annabelle and Owen to a test of fortitude and bravery to stop the shadow of the past from ruining their hopes for the future. Members Reviews: Romance, mystery, and a lot of intrigue Sarah Ladd has done it again. Such a unique and intriguing story. I loved Owen from his entry into the story as well as his daughter Hannah. But Annabelle gradually grew on me as she slowly warmed and let her walls down. She became "human" in a way that seemed impossible in her limited and straight laced world of London. Her Uncle Edmund was a great surprise to me as he turned out to be a man of great depth and warmth. There is a lot of intrigue and suspense threaded throughout this book as well as some pretty sordid characters. The audiobook was also extremely well narrated. I highly recommend this one. A Stranger at Fellsworth Fun story. Very intriguing story. Interesting from start to finish. Enjoyed the characters very much. I feel like I know them. Enjoyed it I couldn't put it down. It was a good story, a little different from the norm. Another view of how women had to suffer because they had no control over their lives in the past. excellent book lots of scarry parts...wondering if the good guys will win but the gal remembers her moms written prayers for her. Her boyfriend prayed for her. and she started praying too. I enjoyed this book.

Now he's back to ask for a second chance. Heart pounding in shock, Sharyah Jordan gapes at the outlaw staring down the barrel of his gun at her. Cascade Bennett shattered her dreams only last summer, and now he plans to kidnap her and haul her into the wilderness with a bunch of outlaws...for her own protection? She'd rather be locked in her classroom for a whole week with Brandon McBride and his arsenal of tricks, and that was saying something. Cade Bennett's heart nearly drops to his toes when he sees Sharyah standing by the desk. Sharyah Jordan was not supposed to be here. Blast if he didn't hate complications, and Sharyah with her alluring brown eyes and silky blond hair was a walking, talking personification of complication. Now was probably not the time to tell her he'd made a huge mistake last summer.... Two broken hearts. Dangerous Outlaws. One last chance at love. Step into a day when outlaws ran free, the land was wild, and guns blazed at the drop of a hat. Members Reviews: Wonderful Love Story What did you love best about Spring Meadow Sanctuary? The story line was very good and kept me interested all the way through. The characters are likeable and it's not sappy. What other book might you compare Spring Meadow Sanctuary to and why? This book is similar to the others in the Shepard's Heart series. I have come to love the characters in each book and like that we get to revisit them in all of the books What does Anne Johnston-Brown bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narrators voices are realistic and her pace and diction are good. If you could take any character from Spring Meadow Sanctuary out to dinner, who would it be and why? I think I would like to take Cade's father out to dinner. He seems like a great old cowboy and has many years of knowledge to share. I would like to hear all of his stories. Any additional comments? Lynnette Bonner is a great author. I have read all of her books and I just love them all. She does need to write FASTER. Her characters are human and likeable. The books are not predictable and she's pretty good and slipping in some surprises now and then. I recommend that you read them all. loved this series I love Lynnette Bonner's story telling. This book wss filled with adventure and a beautiful love story. Bad narrator. The story was okay but the narration was so bad it took away from the story. All of the men sounded like they were very old and their voices were hard to identify.

An error occurred while listening, redo loaded in high quality 3 times still doesn't work so sad Any additional comments? Please fix this issue I would like to finish this story Didn't keep my attention The book was predictable with the misunderstanding between the 2 main characters.The narrator's voice made Rachel sound very whiny. I couldn't get passed that to get into the book. Needed more research I have researched Amish culture rather extensively and this book had the potential of being excellent if the author had done some more research into their traditions and culture. There were several times when it was painfully obvious that she didn't know what she was talking about.

Great start to this series. Lovely heartfelt story of sisters who were separated after tragic events early in life. I cried more than once during this story and I also smiled a lot too. Very touching and inspiring. Cant wait to listen to the next book. Loved listening to this book. This was a wonderful story. i absolutely enjoyed every sentence and every line. I could hardly put it down. more of a religous story it was not what I was expecting from the brief summary. It was slower pace than I like and I was not expecting it to be a religous theme. Enjoyable start to the series. Oh for a Brand McCormick! Loved this story. Cannot wait to see how the other books play out. Didn't finish this one This is the second in this series. I wasn't really impressed with the first one, so was hoping the second would be better. I can't really say because I never could get thru the whole story.

Great book. I loved how you finshed it off. Your books are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Every good thing must come to an end..unfortunatey This book takes place 9 years after the last book left off. Amanda gets invited to come to Pennsylvania for Christmas. When she tells the kids they will be spending Christmas with her family in Pennsylvania, their reactions to me were not surprising but sad because it is the true-to-life reactions of most kids - all about presents and self.

Of course, it's not just the kids who enjoy the simple life! Plain Christmas Sarah Price has done it again!! I felt like I was living this story. She has a way of drawing you in.

Title: What if We Break Subtitle: A Serendipity Holiday Novel, Book 1 Author: Kinsey Corwin Narrator: Kira Omans Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 12-08-17 Publisher: Clean Reads Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Sometimes the holidays can be complicatedDakota Bryant has had more than her share of heartache, especially around the holidays. With her best friend's wedding quickly approaching and her estranged husband in the wedding party, she's not likely to catch a break. Hopefully she can survive the Christmas week with her heart and sanity still intact. War and loss left Kreed Bryant a shell of the man he once was. Returning home for the holidays to play his role as best man to his closest friend is simple. Facing his biggest challenge... setting things right with the one woman he vowed to move Heaven and Earth for is a lot more complicated. To find their way back to the love they once had, they will have to be honest about who they are and learn that every journey to happiness is not easy or without heartache. Members Reviews: Adorable Read! I have been dying to get my hands on this book! I love Kinsey's writing style and unique way of getting right to the heart of a story. In What If We Break we get the story of Dakota and Kreed and these two are perfection together! Usually the getting back together with an estranged spouse kind of trope is a little iffy, but Kinsey really delves into why things are different now for these two. Love is always complicated, and especially young love and then add to that a military relationship and all of the ins and outs that accompany that. It's really a tough situation, but when tragedy strikes and forces them apart the emotions really kick into high gear! When a celebration makes our couple cross paths again the sparks are instantaneous! To anyone who has lived in a small town can really relate to the fact that within 10 minutes everyone in town knew about that first run in haha. I love the setting of this story, it's adorable! The impending holiday and wedding gives the entire story a festive and bright atmosphere where you think something magical can happen just around the corner, it all adds to the tone of the story and really balances out the intense back and forth these 2 characters are going through. The natural progression through discovering what was once good, finding forgiveness for the past mistakes and then rebuilding their lives just flows so well you can just sit back and enjoy watching the story unfold. The ending is so cinematic that I need this to be a Hallmark Christmas Movie STAT! It was a heartwarming, full of hope and magic of the holiday season and you know that love isn't perfect but it is so worth it! I loved getting a glimpse into Serendipity and all of its residents I hope we get to see many more of them in the future! Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again? Oh, this book! It accurately touched on the changes a soldier sustains after coming home from deployment. I was delightfully surprised. Marriage is a beast, and this book didn't cut corners. Yet, at the same time, it revealed an emotional journey of two people who love each other but had been hurt [and we can all relate to that!]. I kept saying Awww. A quick read. And totally worth it! A sweet, enduring read! In What If We Break we get Dakota and Kreed story and I could tell right from the start that it would be filled with heartbreak. You will learn from these two that although love should be enough, life gets in the way to make love more difficult especially for a couple in the military.

You're the One That I Want Audiobook by Susan May Warren

Title: You're the One That I Want Subtitle: Christiansen Family Series #1 Author: Susan May Warren Narrator: Joell A. Jacob Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 02-01-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 61 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Owen Christiansen has been in a downward spiral since an injury ended his NHL career. But a job on an Alaskan crabbing boat offers a fresh start and maybe even a shot at romance with Elise "Scotty" McFlynn, the captain's daughter. Used to being one of the guys, to never relying on anyone, Scotty doesn't believe in happily ever after - especially with someone like Owen. Her instinct is confirmed when Casper Christiansen arrives to drag his prodigal brother home, bringing with him a truckload of family drama - and, even worse, the news that Casper is wanted for questioning in connection to a crime back in Minnesota. But Owen is more than the sum of his mistakes, a truth both he and Scotty discover when she escorts both brothers to Deep Haven as part of her new job on the Anchorage police force. Thrust into an unfamiliar world of family, faith, and fresh starts, Scotty begins to see potential for a happy ending if she's brave enough to embrace it. Critic Reviews: "Warren has shaped a beautifully dynamic romance that teaches the value of family and forgiveness through a modern-day prodigal-son story of redemption." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A Christiansen Family Series Marathon I listened to this entire series this week. A real family experience. God meeting each person individually and drawing them to him with problems, anger issues, adventures, and self imposed reasons not to let God in. Our plans versus Gods plans and Faith to bring them to pass The stories and narrators completely drew me in. I didn't want there to be an ending. Take a leap and see God move in this big rambunctious family. You will be glad you did! Just ok This book started off great. The deep sea fishing accident hooked me right away. I started off liking the characters and Susan May Warren's writing style is beautiful. Her descriptions are wonderful. But once the characters, Scotty and Owen went to Owen's home town--that's where it fell apart for me. Being that Owen and his brother, Casper espoused to be Christians, I was completely frustrated when over and over again they spoke out of both sides of their mouths. They talk about "having faith" but then form a plot for one to run away from the law. At the end, they both have their own realizations that they were wrong, but for me, there wasn't a strong enough admission that their actions had been against God, not just each other. Scotty was the most sensible, but from the beginning she said she didn't trust God, nor had she ever given her life to Him. I kept waiting for that to change, but it never did. At the end, she made one statement, "have a little faith," and she wasn't referring to God. She was referring to Owen trusting in her capabilities as a detective. That was the extent of her coming around. Owen has a moment of repentance, but thinks nothing of the fact that he's ready to marry a woman who still hadn't committed her life to Christ. This is Christian romance, so I thought there'd at least be that. The dysfunction of the family is such that right and wrong become convoluted throughout the entire thing. Sometimes it felt like there was conflict, just for conflict sake, and I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the things the characters did. The epilogue didn't tie up the story of the main characters.

The stronger her friendship grows with the young girl, the more intrigued Madeleine grows about the humble, strong man raising her on his own. But even as a strange attraction pulls Saul and Madeleine across a stark cultural divide, they - and everybody around them - have to wonder: What could they possibly have in common besides heartache? Will love allow Madeleine to finally find the home she's been dreaming of all along? Members Reviews: Very good I loved this sequel in the series! You can read it alone but probably better to read the first 2. A story of differences, friendships, rules and heart break! Also a story of forgiveness and love! A beautiful description of love and faith! I so enjoyed Madeline and Sauls story!

Not only does she clean Sterling's cabin, she's a counselor at Silver Creek, a teen rehabilitation center at the base of the mountain, and she brings her girls up to the cabin every 12 weeks.

When Sterling finds out there's a job for an at-risk counselor at Silver Creek, he asks Norah to drive him back and forth.

She knew that was the reason she was 25 and unmarried, destined for a lonely life of watching her more correctly proportioned younger sisters falling in love and starting families. When her parents suggested she stay at Aunt Stella's and look further afield for love, Lydia quickly agreed. When she arrived at Aunt Stella's, she was surprised that Stella already had a plan in place. Weeks later, Lydia receives a written proposal from Caleb Glick. Things go dreadfully wrong when he rejects her on first meeting. Lydia wasn't surprised, since she had come to expect rejection. A chance meeting with a former Amish man instantly dulls her pain. While Lydia starts to daydream of a future with this tall man hoping he'll return to the community, news of Caleb going back on his word reaches her father. Does her father ruin everything by trying to put things right? Will Lydia ever fit in and find a man who suits her? Also in the Amish Misfits series: All Samantha Price books are clean and wholesome. Members Reviews: MIX UP THAT BECAME LOVE THE AMISH SPINSTER. by Samantha Price book 2 in "Amish Misfits" Delightful story of the emotion and heartache that Lydia was going thru. She was tall 6 feet, not thin, and 25, and thoughts, she would never marry. Seeing her younger sister with a serious beau, was almost more then she could endure. The solution maybe if she went to other community, and visited her father's sisters. Things look up when a proposal comes, but upon meeting her, what will he do. Plans get mix up and as a parent often does, her father steps in. Beautiful written you can feel the emotion of what she is going thru, wanting to be loved. Readers will definitely enjoy this, as well as the others in this series. Given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion. Love and Suspense The narrator did a great job which kept the story flowing. A little suspense, attitude and live made a great listen.

After a stalker went too far, Hannah Hilty and her family had no choice but to leave the bustling Amish community where she grew up. Now she's getting a fresh start in Hart County, Kentucky...if only she wasn't too scared to take it. Hannah has become afraid to trust anyone - even Isaac, the friendly Amish man who lives next door. She wonders if she'll ever return to the trusting, easygoing woman she once was. For Isaac Troyer, the beautiful girl he teasingly calls "The Recluse" confuses him like no other. When he learns of her past, he knows he's misjudged her. However, he also understands the importance of being grateful for God's gifts and wonders if they will ever have anything in common. But as Hannah and Isaac slowly grow closer, they realize that there's always more to someone than meets the eye. Just as Hannah is finally settling in to her new life and perhaps finding a new love, more secrets are revealed, and tragedy strikes. Now Hannah must decide if she should run again or dare to fight for the future she has found in Hart County. Members Reviews: Mixed Feelings on this one What made the experience of listening to Her Secret the most enjoyable? I did enjoy the "edge of your seat" tension. Hannah had every right to be afraid, but sometimes it was over the top. What other book might you compare Her Secret to and why? Can't think of one book in particular. It was suspenseful. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? I do think Tavia Gilbert is very talented, but... she's really over the top. Her voice was very grating in suspenseful scenes, and it was a bit nerve wracking. I understand adding suspense to the story, but she sounded so freaked out, it just made me nervous. Maybe pulling back just a little would make it more enjoyable. Tavia is very talented, I've listened to her other performances, she just gets too shrill in this one. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Run Hannah, Run Any additional comments? It's a good book, it does have it's moments, as I mentioned above that I would change if I were directing this performance, but over all, it's worth the credit. Shelley Shepard Gray is a gifted writer, Tavia Gilbert is, over all, a talented lady. I think Ms. Gray should seek out some different readers. I've listened to 10 of her audio books and really wasn't happy with any of the readers. I do have suggestions! Lauren Holladay or Susan Boyce. They are both calmer, but hit it right on the head when there is suspense in the text. Never Disappointed! Ms. Grays books about the Amish are so comfortable and so delightful. Even when the plot is serious, it still feels like a warm blanket covering you. It's like an old memory that pops up with her descriptions of the season and the outdoors. The characters are very lifelike in her books. The audible version is always spot on. Tavia Gilbert changes voices so easily that one doesn't even notice it. It flows as does the prose.

An absent father. Does love really endure all things? Danielle Kent is 18, pregnant, and hopeful that the child's father - Aaron Lapp - will want to marry her and provide the life she's always dreamed of. Even though Aaron is Old Order Amish, Danielle knows that he wants to leave his community for a life outside of the district. But then Aaron tells Danielle that he doesn't love her - that a wife and baby don't fit into his plans. Levi Detweiler has enjoyed an unlikely friendship with Danielle for nearly a year, though they have little in common. He's Amish, and she won't even discuss God. When Danielle becomes pregnant with Aaron's child, Levi is sure that Aaron will do the right thing and marry Danielle. When that doesn't happen, God calls on Levi to marry her. It doesn't make sense, and it means that Levi will have to leave his home in the Old Order community to make a life for himself, Danielle, and the baby. Levi seeks God's will in a situation that seems impossible - knowing that only by faith are all things are possible. Members Reviews: Inspirational I have read "The Daughters of the Promise" books and "Land of Canaan" books, and loved them all. This one offers many points of inspiration that can apply to everyone. Danielle's character is very real, but her tears were a little exhausting after a while. Kirsten Potter did another fantastic job of bringing the characters to life. All in all, I am glad that I bought this book and am really looking forward to the next installment. Couldn't stop listening Gods plans sometimes seems against all we believe and know, but His plans always are the best plans Great narrative! I really enjoyed this! Beth Wiseman is always a favorite of mine. The narrator did an excellent job reading the story as well. It was hard to put down, even in the audio version! I love this series! Would you consider the audio edition of His Love Endures Forever to be better than the print version? I didn't read the print version but like to have audiobooks in my car. What was one of the most memorable moments of His Love Endures Forever? What about Kirsten Potters performance did you like? Her voice is so relaxing. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes

Title: True to You Author: Becky Wade Narrator: Stephanie Cozart Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 83 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Exciting start of a brand-new series by a contemporary romance fan favorite. After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now. Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100% focused on the present. But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother. The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another. Members Reviews: Slow Storyline I felt like the story moved extremely slow. It was hard for me to listen to. In fact, it took a month for me to get through entire audiobook. This is unusual for me, because I can usually finish an audiobook in less than a week. Good story; Stilted performance This story of Nora Bradford and John Lawson was delightful and just what youd want from a lighthearted romance. It has interesting characters and the main two have depth. The story has some nice elements that are different than a lot of other chick lit stories. However, the narrators performance was very stilted and at times downright difficult to endure. Its as if enunciation of every letter of every syllable was the most important factor. I prefer narrators that speak like humans do rather than feel as if Im listening to elocution lessons. Im afraid for that reason Id hesitate to recommend the audio version. Excellent All Around This book was fabulously written and recorded. Full of heart, humor, and underlying faith. I look forward to reading the rest of the Bradford Sisters books as my interest in Britt and Willow's story was peaked in this first one! But, for now, I will let Nora and John have their moment. Their love story kept me up too late into the night, knowing that each chapter would reward me with a great moment! Thoroughly enjoyed it I was just recently introduced to Becky Wade's books and have been voraciously reading/listening to them. I've loved everything I've read so far. This book just may be one of my favorites though. I felt a kinship with Nora in many ways. Some of the things Nora struggled with brought light to areas in my own life that need to be dealt with. It was a thought provoking book while still entertaining on many levels. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Sap over Substance From a Very Gifted Writer Is there anything you would change about this book? There was simply just way too much romantic sap (and that coming from a complete romantic) and mush and drama. I felt like I was listening to the inner turmoil of a teenager, rather than a grown woman. What about Stephanie Cozarts performance did you like? The narrator was FANTASTIC. Compelling and humorous in all the right places. Was True to You worth the listening time? I wish I could say it was. I loved how the book began, the characters, the idea of the historic village, and the overall message of the story.

He also notices their teacher, Elle Downs, who glows with such infectious joy and inner beauty that he almost forgets their philosophical differences. Members Reviews: insightful As a parent of a child with down syndrome, I found this story insperational. I related to what we have watched our Grace achieve and recieved hope for her adult life as well. I recomend this book to anyone who wants to understand more about special people. What a pleasure to hear. Karen Kingsbury is a wonderful author. Her words awaken all of your senses. I really enjoyed the story line. I would recommend all of her books. Enjoyed Tom Stechschulte as narrator. He did a very good job with the different accents. You felt as though it was really different people speaking. Sweet. Laughs and cries At first I thought this book was going to only be about a teacher in a handicapped classroom. Though I enjoy books about this I was glad I kept listening. It turns into a very sweet story. I will recommend it to my friends who know and love Down's Syndrome children and adults. Beautiful story! As with all of Karen Kingsbury's books, I was not disappointed! It was great, as all of her books are. I felt sad when the book had finished, and would highly recommend it. I love Karen Kingsbury Books! If you could sum up Just Beyond the Clouds in three words, what would they be? inspirational Who was your favorite character and why? Cody Gunner - his gentle love of his brother What does Tom Stechschulte bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Just would not have time to read on my own Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Just touches your insides

Alone and on the run, Fran must protect her younger sister at all cost - but she never expected the price would be marriage to a stranger. Her new husband may be a respected rancher in the community, but Fran can't trust him with her secrets. Trail boss Edgar White never planned for a marriage of convenience - he never planned to marry at all. His past taught him that women can't be trusted, and the secrets she's keeping prove his new wife is no exception. But as a cattle drive forces them into close proximity, Edgar soon discovers the depths of Fran's devotion to her sister - and that it isn't so easy to keep his heart guarded. Members Reviews: Wyoming Legacy - Heartwarming The Wrangler's Inconvenient Wife starts with Fran Morris fleeing with Emma, her little sister from Memphis and Mr. Underwood. Mr. Underwood has been obsessing on Emma and has taken inappropriate advances toward her. Because of his position and money, Fran and Emma have no parents and brother to protect their honor. Her only option is to leave everything behind and hopes that Mr. Underwood does not follow. Edgar White, rancher, wrangler, and resident of Bear Creek, Wyoming, was on his way to load up the family's cattle. Noticing that there is a split in the railroad track, he had to warned the train from derailing. From the instant that Edgar and Fran's eyes met, they felt a connection to each other, until he and the Bear Creek found out that Fran has lied about her age as being an orphan to stay with her sister Emma and to escape from Mr. Underwood. Edgar didn't want anything to do with her but he couldn't allow Fran to stay at the saloon and become one of the saloon girls. He married her with the intent of in name and to protect Fran and her sister, Emma. Edgar does not trust women especially after his experience with his mother and being used by another woman. As far as he is concerned, all women were of the same cloth. Fran wanted to prove that she will be a good wife to Edgar and set to prove that she will not lie to him and be a burden to him. She has planned to prove that to him during the cattle trail. It doesn't help when she is keeping secrets from Edgar. The Wrangler's Inconvenient Wife is a heartwarming story. Fran has never lost faith in God. She's protective on people she cares about. She has never wavered even when Edgar tried so hard to ignore her and tried to break all ties to her. Edgar has a wounded heart but he is a good and decent man. He is responsible and tried to do what's right. Readers/Listeners cannot help but love these two characters. This story is well written by the author. The background of the story and the environment in which the characters interact is very believable in this time and place. The narrator, Laural Merlington does a very good job in narrating the story. The voices she provided are very distinguishable from each of the characters. Fran sounds so proper and yet humble. I love the emotions that the narrator gives to Edgar when he is trying to deny his feeling for Fran and also the fear that he might lose Fran. I was given this audiobook by the author via Audiobook Blast in exchange for an honest review.

But he can't forget the way she left. Lucy Lovett can't remember the last seven months of her life. She doesn't remember leaving her fiancé, Zac Callahan, weeks before their wedding or moving to Portland, Maine. And she sure doesn't remember getting engaged to another man. All she remembers is loving Zac more than life itself. Zac was just beginning to get his life back on track after Lucy left him with no explanation. And now she's back - vulnerable, homeless, and still in love with him. Has he been given a second chance with the only woman who stirs his passion and haunts his dreams? Lucy knows she must unlock those missing months and discover why she threw everything away. And Zac knows that if he follows his heart, he'll win back the love of his life - but if Lucy's memory returns, his would-be bride might say good-bye forever. Members Reviews: Worth your time. Loved this audible book! This was my first one. The narrator was fantastic and made listening to this book wonderful. I really enjoyed the storyline. What a beautiful "parable" Thank you for the beautiful story. A good "parable" of what unforgiveness, inner vows, judgements and fears do to our lives, and I pray that many people will be blessed by this book too. The narrator-ship was beautifully done too. eh the narrator is terrible. It's extremely hard to get into a story when it's read so monotone. The story line was okay. But again, I may have enjoyed it more if I had just read the story on my own. Waste of a credit, sadly. Love DH II planned on binge reading the series, as I just loved the first book. I think I liked this one even more! Each book follows a different Callahan brother: Beau, Zac, and Riley. I knew this followed Zac, but I had no clue it was going to take the turns it did with Lucy. I loved that this was a second chance romance and that it again has a mystery behind the story. You are wondering until the reveal what happened to Lucy and what would happen when she gets her memory back. I loved it and I am moving on to the third book in the series! I love Denise Hunter and the Callahan brothers The narrator for this story is horrible Is there anything you would change about this book? The story is pretty good for a Christian romance. But I'm from Georgia and did not care for the odd "southernisms" she tried to add in. The narrator straight read the book. No change in voice for different characters. In conversations it was sometimes difficult until the end to understand who was saying what. Could you see The Goodbye Bride being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? No

Ethan Greene wants no part of the rodeo circuit he left six years ago. Instead, he's spent the last year reinventing himself, trying to become a man he can be proud of. But when feisty, champion barrel racer, Brynn Bowman, shows up at Three Rivers Ranch to recruit him to be the second part of a two-man roping team, Ethan finds himself saying yes - but only for one year, just to help out a friend. Brynn's been riding horses since childhood, but she has a secret; she really wants to quit the rodeo circuit. Under pressure from her father and brother, Brynn keeps her desires to herself and promises she'll win the World Championship. Brynn feels drawn to Ethan, though the two come from opposite ends of the universe. She wonders if she can trust him with her secret. Ethan, thinking Brynn to enjoy her career in rodeo, considers joining the circuit permanently. Can they find common ground upon which to build their relationship? Members Reviews: Absolute winner! Liz has done it again! Loved this addition to the Three Rivers series - a beautiful story of Ethan's emotional and spiritual evolution and growing relationship with Brynn. Brynn's story is just as compelling. They were both able to make the seemingly difficult choice to step away from fame to build a better life without any guarantee their relationship would continue. The HEA was sweet and satisfying. Ethan's story After meeting Ethan in earlier stories, it was nice to see that he had transformed into a decent person. The story ends abruptly, but if the author follows her practice from the first stories, a mention will be made in the following stories. Ethan is talked into joining the rodeo for a season. Bryan has done rodeo for years but is wanting out. Her dad manages her events & she hates to disappoint him. A good story. On the Rodeo Circuit A man returning to the rodeo circuit to be near a woman he admires, but longing to return to the quieter life of 3 Rivers. A woman, who wants to retire from the circuit, but guilt and love to her family make that difficult. This book - even more than the other stories of the 3 Rivers people - is about learning to trust, to have the courage to go against what others expect and to what is right for oneself, without being selfish. A great story, with many ups and downs, and curveballs life throws at people. I had received this book as a gift, and really enjoyed it like I did all of Ms. Isaacsons books. I am looking forward to the next story. Liz Isaacson is amazing Love this series. Brynn is a champion barrel racer. She wants to quit but doesn't want to disappoint her family. Ethan quit the rodeo but has agreed to team with Tanner for a year of rodeo. Ethan has reinvented himself because he didn't like the way he was living. He started going to church and found a peace that had eluded him before. Brynn had sworn off cowboys, then she met Ethan. Can they find happiness? Will they survive a year of rodeo? Recommend this series. BRYNN BOWMAN THE BARREL RACING CHAMPION MEETS UP WITH ETHAN GREENE THE CHAMPION BULL RIDER This is a good story how these two meet. Bryan goes to the Three Rivers Ranch to get Ethan Greene to work with her friend Tanner.

Spredemann Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: How much would you be willing to sacrifice for the one you love? Lillianna Zook and Thomas Girod had been friends throughout most of their Amish childhood, but they part ways when Lillianna's family moves to a district in another state. She fears their friendship has been lost forever until a chance encounter brings them in contact once again. Lillianna learns that Thomas needs money - a lot of it - and it's a matter of life and death. Lillianna is willing to do anything she can to help Thomas, so when an opportunity arises where she can make a lot of money in a short time, she doesn't hesitate. But will her sacrifice be worth the trials this new opportunity presents? Members Reviews: Just ok Not my favorite by this author. Story was not fleshed out enough and was not the kind of Amish fiction I typically enjoy Warning! Rape scenes, could not finish listening. What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Writing was very poor from the beginning. Lil hasn't seen Thomas in what, a decade or something, since they were children, and they happen to run into each other and say they love each other and want to get married. That's just stupid, they don't even know each other, and this was AFTER he said he didn't believe in God. Then there is the rape scene with her new boss. Disgusting and pathetic and depressing, could not listen any further. Will try to get a refund. Has A Secret of the Heart turned you off from other books in this genre? Yes, most definitely. Would you be willing to try another one of Lisa Larsens performances? No. Even the narration was poor. Very disappointed. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not the part that I listened to, they only mention God but don't walk it. Maybe it got better further on in the book, but I didn't listen after the rape scene, which gave too much detail and was completely unnecessary. Any additional comments? Very disappointing. I've liked other books by this author and was excited to see another one, but I will listen to no more. Will try to get a refund. May even cancel my membership with audible, there isn't much else good to listen to evidently. Exceptional! My first audio book, and I enjoyed it so much. The story was so touching....Lilliana and Thomas had many obstacles to overcome. I so enjoyed how one kept her faith and the other found their way back to faith. A sad but very beautiful story! Thank you Jennifer Spredemann for sending this to me for an honest review. I look forward to reading more of your books.

Rebecca Kinsinger has always dreamed of being a teacher. But when she's given the opportunity she's been waiting for at Charm Amish School, she's dismayed to discover that teaching is hard work - work she's afraid she's not very good at. That is until Lilly Yoder joins the class. A 13-year-old who's just lost her parents, Lilly is in need of someone like Rebecca. For the first time since starting her new job, Rebecca feels a sense of purpose. But when she meets Lilly's uncle, Jacob, his good looks and sweet, easygoing temperament are hard to ignore. How can she even entertain romantic thoughts of Jacob when his niece is her student? Suddenly becoming Lily's sole caregiver, Jacob Yoder never thought he'd be a single parent - or a farmer. Having been living in Florida as a carpenter, Jacob feels more at home wielding a hammer than a backhoe. The only bright spot in his life is Rebecca Kinsinger. As Lilly and Rebecca develop a bond, Jacob's fondness for the pretty teacher grows, too. But when a fateful accident brings them together, Rebecca and Jacob must choose between duty and desire. Will they follow the path before them? Or set out to find true happiness...and true love? Members Reviews: Another "Charming" read Once again we are visiting the Kinsinger family in Charm, OH. Rebecca Kinsinger has always dreamed of being a teacher at the Amish school but when her father died in a tragic accident at the family lumber mill her dream was put on hold. Now that some time has passed she has the opportunity to volunteer at the school when the regular teacher, Rachel, needs her. As she and Rachel are getting ready to leave the school for the day, Jacob enters with his niece, Lilly, to enroll her. Rebecca is smitten upon contact. Is Rachel's dream of becoming a teacher still the dream of her future? I am used to the Amish way of life in Northern Indiana as I have visited there several times. I have never been to Charm, OH (yet) so I am not sure if they practice a bit different. There are many difference sects of the Amish faith. I noticed that Gray mentions "he has short cropped hair" and the picture on the book shows the same thing and I am used to all the Amish men having bowl shaped haircuts. The characters seem a tad bit more prideful than I am used to reading. Even with this few differences I still love her Amish books and this series. I enjoy reading Gray's books as they are always entertaining and light enough to make it a calming reading experience. Boring tripe I purchased this book because I have read other books by the author. Well I was sadly disappointed in this book. For fans of the Amish genre, this book would have been better in a different setting. The author should have done a lot more research into the Amish way of life and culture. Here are a few quotes "his closely cropped hair" (Amish men don't wear their hair closely cropped) "suddenly everyone had an opinion about everything and had need to voice it, loudly and proudly." (Amish are taught that pride is a sin) "Mrs.

Molly Allen lives alone in Portland, but her heart is back in Franklin, Tennessee, where five years ago she walked away from a man she cannot forget, a rare sort of love she hasnt found since. Ryan Kelly lives in Franklin and spends plenty of time at The Bridge - the oldest bookstore in historic downtown Franklin - remembering the long hours he and Kelly once spent there. Now, Ryan and Mollys favorite bookstore is in trouble. For 30 years, Charlie and Donna Barton have run The Bridge, providing the people of middle Tennessee with coffee, conversation, and shelves of good books - even through dismal book sales and the rise of eBooks. Then in May a flood tore through Franklin and destroyed nearly every book in the store. By Christmastime, the bank threatens to pull the lease on The Bridge and is about to take the Bartons house as well. Despondent, Charlie considers ending his life. And in the face of tragedy, miracles begin to unfold. Members Reviews: different reason for listening to a book First time author for me, my reasons for listening to this book are different than the norm. I was recently watching a Hallmark movie by the same name, 'The Bridge'. The story line on the movie was that a young couple was reunited after seven years. I'm watching the movie and they hadn't even broken up yet. The longer the movie goes on I'm thinking the reunion is going to be pretty short. Then right at the end of the movie a graphic comes up saying to be continued Christmas 2016' I decided I didn't want to wait that long and bought the book. It's a fairly short book, 4 hours of listening, in print it must be like a novella. The Bridge itself is a bookstore and the owners have fallen on hard times. Many old customers come to the rescue, including the two the story is based on, and figure out what went wrong. It is a make you feel good kind of story. I'm glad I didn't wait a year. heart warming, make you smile book What did you love best about The Bridge? This book was a pleasant surprise. I have "read" most of Karen Kingsbury's books and this is one of my favorites. The characters are well developed and I could relate to each one is some way. The book quickly draws you in and keeps you involved in these peoples lives. I am waiting for the next one in this series. I hope Karen writes it soon. Can't wait. Who was your favorite character and why? Maybe Charlie. I love how generous he is and how he focuses on people not money. His business way successful inspite of this focus. Any additional comments? The prequel is worth the listen, either before of after this book. eh I like Karen Kingsbury ' s books, but this wasn't my favorite. It was pretty predictable and I got annoyed at the characters for being stubborn. Cry and laugh at the same time Ms Kingsbury's books ALWAYS make me cry. I believe in hope, love, and miracles. I've read most of her series books plus some of the stand alone. I don't remember how I got into her world but I am so thankful I did.

As rumors mount that Rhodas "gift" is a detriment to the community, she chooses isolation, spending her time in her fruit garden and on her thriving canning business. Miles away in Harvest Mills, Samuel King struggles to keep his familys apple orchard profitable. As the eldest son, Samuel, farms with his brothers, the irrepressible Jacob and brash Eli, while his longtime girlfriend, Catherine, remains hopeful that Samuel will marry her when he feels financially stable.

Members Reviews: A Season for Tending Review Story very well written. so refreshing to listen to and know that I would not be hearing a description of love making or any type of sexual activity. God is an important part of Amish and Mennonite life as well as so many other people. We are not weird but sold out to GOD and yes face difficult decisions and capable of making a wrong decision. Thank you do much for this breath of fresh air. Author Passes off Familiar Spirits as Being of God What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Any additional comments? The main character in this book sees and hears familiar spirits. The author tries to pass this off as a gift from God. She slowly introduces you to the idea that this gift is from God in book one so that the reader gets that somethings just not right here feeling. But she opens it wide up in book two so that any discerning Christian should understand that this is a series to put down and immediately. Familiar spirits and spirit guides are under the control of their master, Satan. Leviticus 19:31; 20:6, 27; and Deuteronomy 18:9-14 refer to mediums and familiar spirits and forbids being involved with them, as they are an abomination to the Lord. Christians are to be filled with the Holy Spirit. We are also to be on guard, "for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Ephesians 6:12). Abrupt ending. I really liked it, but boy did it just END. Maybe it's to wet your tongue for book 2 in the series. It worked BEWARE This is not a bad story but Ms. Cindy Woodsmall takes too long to tell it. I'm into the third book of the series and there is still no conclusion. Usually when someone creates a series each book stands alone at least somewhat! Addicting Would you listen to A Season for Tending again? Why? Probably not because I already listened to it once. Who was your favorite character and why? Always Rhoda.

Members Reviews: Awesome Intriguing, twists & turns, great read. What I liked as well is that you did not know the romance part. I hate when you can tell in chapter 1. This was still left hanging between 2 men & 1 woman till the very end. Keeps you guessing. A book worthistening to. if you are looking for a clean book with a decent plot a good character development, then this is it. If it becomes a series then I will buy more. Kept my attention Great book and even better narration!!! I've listened to lots of Audible books and I can honestly say this was the best narration. Also, the story was good and kept my attention. The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 for the story was because while the overarching story concluded, we never find out which man Carrie chooses. great listening for a busy hands, quiet day! really enjoyed learning more about Greece, narrator made each character unique! good story, enjoyed how it played out. Very Interesting Suspenseful Romance I liked this book. Davis Bunn is an excellent author and he spins an interesting, informative story.

Following his divorce, Noah gave up his dream job and settled at a remote horse ranch in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Northern Georgia, putting much-needed distance between himself and the former love of his life. But then Noah gets a letter from the IRS claiming he and Josephine are still married. When he confronts Josephine, they discover that she missed the final step in filing the paperwork and they are, in fact, still married. Josephine is no happier about the news than Noah. Maybe the failed marriage - and botched divorce - was her fault, but her heart was shattered right alongside his, more than he would ever believe. The sooner they put this marriage behind them, the better for both of their sakes. But when Josephine delivers the final paperwork to his ranch, the two become stranded in his cottage during the worst spring snowstorm in a decade. Being trapped with Josephine is a test of Noah's endurance. He wrestles with resentment and an unmistakable pull to his wife - still beautiful, still brave, and still more intriguing than any woman he's ever known. As they find themselves confronted with each other and their shared past, old wounds surface, and tempers flare. But when they are forced out into the storm, they must rely on each other in a way they never have before. Josephine finally opens up about her tragic past, and Noah realizes she's never been loved unconditionally by anyone - including him. Will Noah accept the challenge to pursue Josephine's heart? And can she finally find the courage to trust Noah? Critic Reviews: "Sweetbriar Cottage is a story to fall in love with. True-to-life characters, high stakes, and powerful chemistry blend to tell an emotional story of reconciliation." (Brenda Novak, New York Times best-selling author) "Sweetbriar Cottage is a wonderful story, full of emotional tension and evocative prose." (Francine Rivers, New York Times best-selling author of Redeeming Love) Members Reviews: Great story, but... I think it's great how the author teaches about the psychological effects of childhood abuse into adult hood. So many of us need to be more aware, and to look past people's facades. Try to understand the why of their behaviour instead of just focusing on it. However it seemed it lacked a little something and I can't explain what. Depth maybe? A bit typical some of the events? Where I come from a 4 wheels drive with good tires cud go anywhere snow, ice or whatever... I thot that was a little weak, and maybe a teeny bit focused on the physical. Otherwise a great book! Loved it This is the first book I've read by this author, it was great. It shows you that love can conquer all. The narration was very well done. If you haven't read this book I highly recommend it I loved this story! Would you consider the audio edition of Sweetbriar Cottage to be better than the print version? I always prefer to read a print version of a book but lately haven't had the time.

I listened to all three books in this series in the same week. I enjoyed the story and characters. wonderful series. I couldn't quit listening. even went to sleep with it in. I already have another one downloaded that's related to the series and one on preorder! This is ridiculous I can't believe how elongated the story line is. It never ends! It's so frustrating I almost don't want to finish the book. Come on really? Let it be over. This girl needs to let it go.

But for the celebrated singer, time doesnt stand still after the big I do. Alejandro must return to his life on the road and into the fray of a demanding tour and his adoring fans. After their brief period of marital bliss, the new couple struggles under the medias constant intrusion into their romance and fights to sustain the bond they first discovered at Amandas Pennsylvanian farmland home. When the paparazzi report a juicy story that could threaten Alejandros reputation and cause Amanda to doubt their promises to each other, the two face a hardship that may put their budding union at risk. Can their love survive worldwide scrutiny and the distance his stardom creates between them? Members Reviews: 4.5 Stars! This is the third book in the continuing story of Alejandro and Amanda in the Plain Fame series. Now they are married and weathering family and business obligations along with the continued public onslaught that fame attracts. It's not often a reader gets to see life after marriage when reading romance stories. That's one of the main things enjoy about this book. The author kept the story interesting while sharing the highs and lows of fame + marriage. Amanda is a wonderful character and I loved seeing her stand up for herself more in this book and learning her role as the spouse of a celebrity. At times, I was a little conflicted with Alejandro, but I still enjoyed him. It all came together well by the end and I feel like his character will be evolving spiritually as the series progresses. He tends to be an alpha-male, which I don't mind since I find that it is culturally relevant (I'm married to a Puerto Rican!) He is also devoted and loving, but battling the demanding side of his personality. He's still trying to define himself as a husband while also a celebrity that has people at his beck and call. Overall, a nice addition to the series. As with the previous three two stories in this series, the audiobook was perfect. An outstanding narrator. Lovin' this series! This book had the drama that I've been waiting for. I think it's so cute how much Alejandro adores Amanda and is always telling her she's beautiful. On to the next book! Boring This started off as a descent series. Book two was semi boring. Book three was more boring until three quarters of the way through, when it started to pick up. Then is fizzled our again. Felt like you were reading the same things over and over again. Was excited at first to see this was a six book set. Unfortunately not worthy of going past book three. Must move on. It just keeps getting better! What did you love best about Plain Again? New elements that were added in - like the daughter that Viper has but never interacted with her. Amanda accepting that daughter and taking her home to the farm. What other book might you compare Plain Again to and why? To the other plane books. Have you listened to any of Amy McFaddens other performances before? How does this one compare? She does such an incredible job with voices and accents. Now she introduces us to a Portuguese accent.

The busy physician has a pediatrics practice in Dallas, and meeting Tom Peterson, and falling in love, is adding a rich layer to her life. She's sorting out how to introduce him to her family - she's the youngest of seven - and thinking about marriage. She's falling in love with Jesus too, and knows God is good. But that faith is about to be tested in a way she didn't expect, and the results will soon transform her entire family. Members Reviews: Very disappointing end to series! Would you try another book from Dee Henderson and/or Tom Stechschulte? I would try another book because the Henderson's other books have been good to outstanding. Has Jennifer turned you off from other books in this genre? This book would have turned me off, had I not read the other ones in the series. Seemed like a very half-hearted effort, not worthy of Henderson. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Jennifer? What was present was fine, there just wasn't much of a story - no mystery or suspense, no real drama. Any additional comments? If you haven't read the O'Malley series, it's a great read, and the audio is well-narrated. Good story. Listen for yourself and see. Good story. Listen for yourself and see. I like the spiritual content the best; you will too if that's important to you. Great short story I have listened to the O'Malley stories numerous times and purchased the set of paperbacks for my mother. This is a great short story in the continuation of that series. Anyone who has read these books will know this story is a prequel to the series BUT I can't emphasize enough that Ms Henderson put it right where it belonged. It really NEEDS to be read after you read the series. I truly hope she comes out with a "ten years later" or something type story about this family, I would eagerly snap it up. Awesome, but only read after you've read thothers Where does Jennifer rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Unfair question. I've listened to over 100. However, after listening to this I am about to listen to the entire series again for the 3rd time in a row. What was one of the most memorable moments of Jennifer? The end because it circles back and makes you want to see her again throughout the other books. What about Tom Stechschultes performance did you like? He is a good reader. He is amazingly consistent with the characters' voices and personalities throughout the entire series. Any additional comments? This was not meant to be a full book, just a tribute to Tom and Jennifer so we can know their story too. Read the O'Malley series in order, then Full Disclosure, then Jennifer. It's the best way to do it. The order matters because they are written in chronological order. really good been waiting for this one in omalley Have you listened to any of Tom Stechschultes other performances before? How does this one compare? just as great as the others in OMalley series. Really like the narrator. Any additional comments? If you liked the O Malley series U will like this book also.

When Emily follows Ben home to Italy, she learns that his family, however, is another matter. Emily Price - fix-it girl extraordinaire and would-be artist - finds herself in Atlanta, repairing objects damaged in a house fire. As she works to restore the home and dreams of one family, she strives to keep the pieces of her own life in perfect order and secure her own happy ending - a gallery show of her own. There is no time for distractions, especially not the ultimate distraction of falling in love. But Chef Benito Vassallo's relentless pursuit proves hard to resist. Visiting from Italy, Ben works to reconnect with his brother and breathe new life into his aunt and uncle's faded restaurant, Piccolo. And soon after their first meeting, he works to win Emily as well - inviting her into his world and into his heart. Emily astonishes everyone when she accepts Ben's proposal and follows him home. Upon landing in Rome, she is enchanted with Italy. But instead of allowing the land, culture, and people to transform her, Emily imposes her will upon everyone and everything around her, alienating Ben's tightly knit family. Only Ben's father, Lucio, gives Emily the understanding she needs to lay down her guard. Soon Emily's life and art begin to blossom, and Italy's beauty and rhythm take hold of her spirit. Yet when she unearths long-buried family secrets, Emily wonders if she really fits into Ben's world. Will the joys of Italy become just a memory, or will Emily share in the freedom and grace that her life with Ben has shown her are possible? Members Reviews: A Beautiful Portrait Painted with Words! " . . you can feel just that alive every day - as long as you don't forget." Emily Price earns a living fixing things, from vintage espresso machines to priceless works of art. When she meets her employer's brother; an handsome, nearly-larger-than-life Italian chef Benito Vassallo, she may have unknowingly given her heart to a man whose family fractures run too deep to restore. For in trying, she might lose what she never wants to replace. Enjoy this fine story by Katherine Reay, which is as beautifully written as a masterpiece is painted. Good read. The characters are interesting but do not ... Good read. The characters are interesting but do not seem to be too developed. I left wanting more from the characters and story. Would be great for a part two! I really like this author, so I would continue to read anything else she puts out. Another great read by Katherine Reay Emily tries to fix everything she touches. Once she meets and instantly feels in love with handsome Italian Ben, she tried to help him fix everything including his family. I love Katherine Reay books and A Portrait of Emily Price is no exception. I couldn't put this book down. There were mysteries in this book that kept me guessing which doesn't happen for me often. The only thing I had a hard time with is how quickly and how hard Emily and Ben feel in love. It's not that I dint believe in love at first sight, I just had a hard time believing their love was real for a good portion of the book.

But that doesnt stop Julia from hoping for a bright future. She has planned on marrying Paul Fisher since she was a girl. Now twenty-one, she looks forward to their wedding with giddy anticipation. But when Paul tells her he wants to postpone the wedding - again - she is determined to change his mind. She knows who is to blame for Pauls sudden reluctance to wed: the Bee Man.Roman Troyer, the Bee Man, travels through the Amish communities of Ohio and Pennsylvania with his hives full of bees, renting them out to farmers in need of pollinators. A mysterious man who relishes his nomadic life, Roman especially enjoys bringing his bees to Stoney Ridge each year. But with Julia seriously at odds with him, Windmill Farm is looking decidedly less appealing. Can Julia secure the future shes always dreamed of? Or does God have something else in mind? Critic Reviews: The Keeper is a keeper. From a fabric of likable and original characters, Suzanne has crafted a moving story of faith and loyalty, a story of hope shining out of the darkest places. A captivating read. (Dale Cramer, bestselling author, Levis Will) Members Reviews: Fabulous Listen--Don't Miss This One! Paul Fisher is not the guy for Julia Lapp, even if they are promised to one another. She's finally woken up and realized his cold feet might mean something. But she's angry. And she targets Roman Troyer, the Bee Man, as the instigator. Roman is far from home with a streak of white hair announcing the trauma he's experienced because if one looks closely they'll see a handsome young man. Only his past has caught up with him in the form of an irascible woman who is not going to let him keep running, if she can help it. Julia's winsome character and strength make her a strong heroine and her sister is a lot of fun, too. Stoney Ridge is a lovely place but so many changes have happened that the inhabitants of the Lapp farm aren't feeling too secure. God's will is at play. And it may not be what Julia and Roman think it is. Lovely story, great characterization, and that fabulous Suzanne voice--what more could you ask for? Beginning Grates . . . Rest Compensates!

Members Reviews: The Beginning of The Bridge The Beginning is a short story pre-quel to Karen's upcoming book The Bridge (releases 10/23/12). No matter how short or long a story, as usual I was sucked right in! I read most of it at the gym. It's kind of hard to walk on the treadmill and read through tears :) Karen truly is a gifted writer! Thank you for anther beautiful story! I can't wait to read The Bridge and finish Charlie's and Donna's stories! Another good book about God's work. This book could not be anything but good since it was Karen's. Can hardly wait to start reading The Bridge. Will let you know that book goes. I already know. Or I think I know. Talk to you later I love sports but I can miss 'the game' to spend ... I'm a 66 year old man. I'm not a manly man but neither am I effeminate. I can change a tire but I can't do my brakes. I love sports but I can miss 'the game' to spend time with family, especially grandkids. My preferences lean to spy/adventure/mystery yarns but on a long road trip, while she drove, I started reading 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society' to her. And I made a discovery. Some of these books written predominantly for women aren't half bad. There was enough mystery in Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove series to keep me coming back. Now, based off The Beginning, Karen Kingsbury may be our next road trip series author. Don't worry Clive Cussler, Brad Thor etc., I haven't left you behind. Short but great read. I had already read the Bridge but it's been a while. Reading this makes me want to go back & re-read the Bridge. I think it ties in great and even in a short time gets you into the story. An easy read to the Bridge I learned the back stories to the Bridge that were not explained in the original story. Edna's story is particularly heart wrenching.

Jenny, his wife, is a stylist whose heart and soul are invested in fashion. She leaves the milieu and life she loves to join him. The certainty they share is that their destinies are linked forever. Fast forward 38 years. Robert is a hardworking independent book publisher in Manhattan, who has given up all personal life to build his struggling business. He is looking for one big hit novel to publish. Lillibet is a young Amish woman, living as though in the 17th century, caring for her widowed father and three young brothers on their family farm. In secret at night, by candlelight, she has written the novel that burns within her, and gets it into Roberts hands, wrapped in her hand-stitched apron. He falls in love first with the book, and then with the woman he has never met, living in the sequestered world of the Amish - a world without telephones, computers, electricity, modern conveniences, or cars. Although Lillibet faces banishment from her family and community, she embraces the opportunity to publish her novel, and is irresistibly drawn to the man who has heard her voice. Destiny is at work here. Fate draws her from her horse-and-buggy life toward his, and the publication of her novel. In the hands of master storyteller Danielle Steel, these two remarkable relationships come together in unexpected and surprising ways, as lovers are lost, and find each other again. If it is true that real love lasts forever and lovers cannot lose each other, then Until the End of Time will not only comfort and fascinate us, as destiny does her dance, but it will give us hope as well. Love and fate are powerful, irresistible forces, as Steel proves to us here, in a book about courage, change, risk, and hope...and love that never dies. Members Reviews: Brilliant characters acting heroically - no losers These are stories that make us believe in the power of eternal love - and the characters in this book show their attraction to each other in a playful, fun loving way, with lightness of heart and spirit. My only issue was that this was two separate stories - and I wanted each to be longer, fuller and to have a more drawn-out ending. Perhaps just that I didn't want to leave behind my lovers when the story ended. what was she thinking What would have made Until the End of Time better? this was such an awful read. a beautiful story turned into a horror. left me feeling awful so many times. she must have been going through a very dark time to write this. then confusing to read a completely different story and horrible way to mix them together yuch!!! What was most disappointing about Danielle Steels story? putting us through a very sad awful read because she herself was going through a bad period i trusted her as I always have What does Nick Podehl bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? great narrator enjoyed listening to him read her bad choice of storyline And That's Another Story! Danielle Steel once again weaves a story that pulls you into each character and illustrates by word how very much the twists and turns of life direct us from joy to sadness while once again lifting the human spirit . Reincarnation Reincarnation was hard enough to accept.

Moore's enthralling 1840's historical romance, Heart of the Ocean, Eliza Robinson has turned down the very pretentious Mr. Thomas Beesley's marriage proposal. As a business partner of Eliza's father, Thomas quickly discredits the family and brings disgrace to the Robinson name. While her father scrambles to restore his good name in New York City, Eliza flees to the remote Puritan town of Maybrook to stay with her Aunt Maeve. Although relieved to be away from all- things-male and unforgiving gossip columns, odd things start to happen to Eliza, and she is plagued by a ghostly voice. Her aunt's explanation? That Eliza is being haunted by a woman who died of a broken heart twenty years ago. After Aunt Maeve is tragically killed, Eliza's life is put in danger as she tries to uncover the mystery of her aunt's death. She encounters Jonathan Porter in Maybrook, whose presence in the town seems suspicious, yet she finds herself drawn to him. When she discovers that Jonathan's dark secrets may be the link between the dead woman who haunts her and her aunt's murderer, Eliza realizes that Jonathan is the one man she should never trust. Members Reviews: Good, clean romance!! Where does Heart of the Ocean rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's at the top among the audiobooks I've listened to. I thought the narrator did a fantastic job! What did you like best about this story? I loved the mystery and romance elements. There were parts that were kind of spooky and I thought they did a great job emphasizing them. Have you listened to any of Erin Spencers other performances before? How does this one compare? I've never heard Erin Spencer before. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I wanted to listen to it all at once but had to break it up into about four sessions. I found time at the end so I could finish it. Beyond Irritating I couldn't even finish listening to this book, which for me is rare. The beginning of the book was disjointed and I had to go read the summary to figure out what was going on. The book is scattered, disjointed and the characters dull and shallow. The narrator was super annoying. Typically I like H.B. Moore but this book was so incredibly irritating that I just couldn't stand to finish it. Just okay After listening to this Audible book I wish that I had read it instead. The narrator was choppy and her voice inflections were no where near what they should be in reading a story. Narrators need to convey what they honestly believe the author is trying to convey in emotion and inflection. I don't believe this was the case for this book. The book was fairly good just a little odd with the ghost giving one idea to Eliza at the beginning and another idea to her at the end. Plus the ghost said different things to different people. She was verbally angry to some and kind to others that she trusted. Typical for ghosts that are left behind on earth she wanted to have her murder solved and her body to be placed in a grave.

Slightly disturbing that the hero could see the heroine in her bedroom and never got in touch with her to let her know the security system had a video feature. Also, shouldn't a billionaire be able to charter a private plane from France and not have to wait and pay for a seat on a regularly scheduled flight? Other than that, I did enjoy the story. The magic of Christmas A lovely Christmas story that will have you smiling and looking forward to the upcoming season. Laura was a down to earth character with a love of the holidays, she is a romantic at heart and wishes for love. C.W. is quite the cynic, he has forgotten what having someone to care about was all about but when he sees Laura that all changes. This was a short easy to read story with an interesting storyline that makes you smile. The characters were easy to like and relate too, it flowed easily and kept your attention. Holiday wishes, love at first sight and the magic of Christmas all come together to give you warm feelings and a HEA. I volunteered to read this story for my honest opinion. Secrets Craig Banley hired Laura to watch his home every year while he was away on business. Laura thought he was an old man and enjoyed living in his home for the holidays. After a few years she began to make friends with people . For the first time Laura broke the rules and let people in the house. She had no idea Craig had cameras watching . Life was happy until her ex showed up and then the danger began What a wonderful Christmas story A short but sweet holiday read If you are looking for a short but sweet, holiday read, this is a good place to start. This was a fun little read. I read this in one sitting. It's Christmas in New York and Laura is house sitting for C.W. Banley. This is her 3rd year working for Mr. Banley, but things are not what they seem. She uses this opportunity to get away from past, but her past comes back to haunt her. Craig, is away on business and has left Miss Fleming to watch over his house while he is away on business. He has never met Laura before and has a surprise when he checks out the security cameras he has placed throughout his house. She is nothing like the sweet, old lady he thought he'd hired. She's young, she's a rule breaker, she's everything he ever wanted in a woman.

Title: When Love Returns Author: Kim Vogel Sawyer Narrator: Alyssa Bresnahan Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 09-22-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 76 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Riddled with doubt and lingering regrets, will Suzanne and Paul find strength in God to explore a second chance at love? It wasn't easy to move back to the Old Order Mennonite community from which quiet, responsible Suzanne Zimmerman was shamefully sent away as a pregnant teen. Returning 20 years later to take care of her mother, Suzanne and Alexa - the daughter she raised as her own - have spent months rebuilding relationships with her family. Now with the upcoming wedding of their biological daughter, Suzanne and Paul find themselves drawn to one another once again - but with new challenges to face. They have been single parents with painful pasts. Can Paul and Suzanne find the strength to rebuild the loving relationship that was torn apart by their teen pregnancy so long ago? Suzanne must also let go of Alexa as she heads back to Indianapolis to visit friends - and as her chance to find her birth parents. Leaving the bed-and-breakfast in Suzanne's apprehensive hands, Alexa embarks on a journey that will certainly change her life completely. Can mother and daughter trust God to restore all things in his timing? Members Reviews: Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a wonderful story of adoption, love and redemption. Being book two in the series, it would be helpful to read Book 1 first. Very well balanced in all viewpoints The story allowed me to see things from multiple view points without feeling like it was stilted in the favor of one particular viewpoint. No compromise with Christian values and yet allowed for freedom in viewpoints in non-essential areas. Excellent narration and story. I didn't want the book to end and hated to say goodbye to the characters. Best book I've heard in years! Best book I've heard in years. Very easy to follow yet it keeps you in suspense throughout. SoSo Narrator was not very good. This story wasn't as good as the first two. Good series. Have you listened to any of Alyssa Bresnahans other performances before? How does this one compare? Good narration, good with different voices in all 3 of the books in this trilogy. However, in the third book, it painfully annoying with the consistent swallowing. My gosh, take a break, get a drink, turn the microphone off, whatever it takes. Any additional comments? It was a good book and good series overall, really enjoyed God's Word and His work in restoring our lives.

Smoke jumper Reuben Marshall harbors a deep regret - a split second decision he made that cost the life of his crew boss. His paralyzing grief has kept him from pursuing his long-burning interest in pretty, petite smoke jumper/bomber pilot Gilly Priest. Not that he has a prayer of winning her heart. Not only is she not interested in dating a teammate, she's also the preacher's daughter. And while Rueben's not the chief of sinners, he's no saint. A dark secret that keeps her from trusting.... Gilly Priest has worked hard to carve out her niche as a female bomber pilot in the dangerous world of firefighting. Sure she's small, but she's made up for her statue in courage, grit and the tenacity to face danger other pilots wouldn't dare. And yes, she's noticed handsome Rueben Marshall - who wouldn't? Dependable and strong, he takes up most of the space in the room. But Gilly's dark secrets won't allow her close enough to talk to him, let alone let herself fall for him. A race to rescue the people they love.... When their smokejumper plane goes down in the northwestern Montana mountains, wounding their team, Gilly and Reuben are the only ones capable of hiking out to find help. But when their rescue mission turns out to be a fight for their lives against the elements, a saboteur, and a forest fire, they discover they'll have to put aside their fears and learn to trust each other. But will trust ignite something they both long for...and fear? And can they save their team before tragedy strikes - again? Members Reviews: Gripping firefighting action & believable romance Ruben and Gilly become real vulnerable characters as they trust and grow together in God. Weaker storyline than her usual books. This book was not terrible but had a weaker storyline than the storylines she generally writes. Purely sappy romance. The narrator was sappy also. It was worth listening to, just not as enjoyable as normal. Why did I wait so long? I can't believe I waited so long to read this series. Now, I can't put it down. LOVE, Suspense, and Anticipation Another great romantic suspense in this summer series by Susan May Warren. Loved the hesitant romance and loved Gilly and especially Reuben (a sweet, strong, gentle giant of a man). We also finally have some resolution in this one to the suspected arsons, culminating with a shocking suspect! Already anxiously awaiting the Wild Montana Skies series! Great book Great ending to the series! I love Ruben and Jilly. So glad they finally got together. It took a bit to get used to the style of this narrator but once I did I enjoyed it a lot!

Title: Angels at the Table Subtitle: A Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy Christmas Story Author: Debbie Macomber Narrator: Kimberly Farr Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-12 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 158 votes Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: In this joyous and whimsical holiday novel, Debbie Macomber rings in the season with the return of Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, delivering laughs, love, and a charming dose of angelic intervention. Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel's work is never done, especially during a time as wondrous as New Year's Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their wings, they descend upon Times Square in New York City eager to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely strangers in the crowd, he decides midnight is the perfect time to lend a heavenly helping hand. Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after bumping into each other - seemingly by accident - in Times Square on New Year's Eve. They immediately hit it off and find they have a lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a respected food critic. But just as quickly as they're brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart, leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to reconnect. A year later, Lucie is the chef of an acclaimed new restaurant and Aren is a successful columnist for a major New York newspaper. For all the time that's passed, the two have not forgotten their one serendipitous evening - and neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite the young couple, the angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix true love, a second chance, and a generous sprinkle of mischief to create an unforgettable Christmas miracle. Members Reviews: I love! love! love! All the Angel Books After the 1st few sentences, I'm hooked!! I can't close the book! I must keep listening until I hear the whole book. I hope it won't take Debbie another 3 years before she finishes another book. Macomber's angles are at it again! This is the latest, and best installment, in the Debbie Macomber 'angles' series. It seems like an updated, Christian fun redo of the movie, An Affair To Remember. The angles--Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and the newest addition, Will are 'prayer ambassadors' from heaven who push the boundaries of their assignments. This time they cause two lonely people to meet in Times Square on New Years Eve. They have an instant attraction, but problems arise and the angels 'help' causes problems for the new couple. This story has a fun interest because the two people are a chef, opening a new restaurant, and a food critique for the newspaper. Since I enjoy shows on the cooking channel, this book ties in the food interest, romance, and fun with a Christian message. Good read for this Christmas season!! Sweet story This is the first Debbie Macomber book I've read. Very sweet, and funny, with a happy ending. It scratches that CinderelIa itch of mine! Love the angels! Wonderful Christmas story Is there anything you would change about this book? No What other book might you compare Angels at the Table to and why? This was my first experience of listening to a book. Did the narration match the pace of the story? I feel it did. Any additional comments? It was a good christmas story.

When a handsome stranger offers to lend a helping hand, she isn't sure things will ever be right again. Members Reviews: Contains the right balance of humor and romance! I've wanted to read this story ever since I saw the cover. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was totally disappointed at the end to discover that it was over! The author's writing is wonderful and polished and the story contains the right balance of humor and romance. I want more though! Can we please get a sequel?! :) A Shortie but Goodie I originally read this novelette in the Where the Light May Lead anthology, so the story didn't have its own cover at the time. Now that it does, I find it refreshing. I quite enjoyed this rom-com featuring a humorous heroine who's self-conscious but also self-aware. The story highlights how beauty and hotness come in all different packages--a quick and entertaining pick-me-up. but I found it a nice character piece I read through this really quickly and it kept my interest. Admittedly, this is not my genre, but I found it a nice character piece, introducing two people and hinting at a future together. I liked the open endedness of it. It brought them to a believable place and then leaves the rest up to your imagination, which I think is nice. Great reads There are two shorts within these pages. Great reads....First time reading this author. Will not be the last. Both stories are very good, wish they both were longer. Sit back and enjoy This is a light-hearted story that almost all girls I know can relate to in some way.

Quaint and peaceful Serenity, Texas, has given her a home, a life, and a child. Logan Brisco is the smoothest, slickest, handsomest man Serenity has ever seen. But Carny Sullivan knows a con artist when she sees oneand shes seen plenty, starting with her father. As far as Carny Sullivan can tell, shes the only one in town who has his number. Because from his Italian shoes to his movie-actor smile, Logan has the rest of the town snowed. Carny is determined to reveal Briscos selfish intentions before his promise to the townspeople for a cut in a giant amusement park sucks Serenity dry. Yet as much as she hates his winning ways, there is a man behind that suave smile, a man who may win her heart against her will. Shadow in Serenity is a modern-day Music Man, penned by a Christy Award-winning, New York Times best-selling author. Members Reviews: Wasn't expecting much. I listened to this nonstop for a day. I found myself rooting for the assumed villain. Loved the grace shown in this book. A nice revamping ... What made the experience of listening to Shadow in Serenity the most enjoyable? I loved the lead character; as always, this author's characters and dialogue are wonderful and believable. I knew pretty much where the plot was headed, but it was a great ride. What other book might you compare Shadow in Serenity to and why? Well, it's a stand-alone. It's actually a rewrite of an earlier novel, before the author stopped writing secular novels. It reminds me of a modern day Music Man; the charming crook who comes to town and tries to con all of Carny's family. Great fun listen, without being too sweetie-sweetie. Which scene was your favorite? Too many to count. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. I had listened to this narrator in Truth Stained Lies, and was so surprised when she comes on with this fun, country accent. I was so surprised! She was so good at both books, I don't know if the real narrator is Southern, or not. Any additional comments? I don't care for books where the characters keep talking to God and he answers. Terri manages to maintain the spirituality of the characters without losing a good plot and romance. Love the narrator. I think she's a perfect match for Terri's work. Enjoyed Any additional comments? Terri Blackstock is one of my favorite authors and this book did not disappoint. Not her normal "suspense" story, but a wonderful story all the same. Pain, sorrow,salvation,healing,joyful. What made the experience of listening to Shadow in Serenity the most enjoyable? I cared about the characters. The reader was able to read the story in such a way that you knew who the character was. At the same time it did not seem fake. Who was your favorite character and why? Carney. Even though she was a believer she still went through changes. Her relationship with the savior grew. She carried around guilt that God had all ready forgiven like we all do, but through the story she was able to face them and lay them down. She forgave herself. What about Gabrielle de Cuirs performance did you like? She nailed it. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Tears of joy. Any additional comments? It is really hard to take this genre and keep it fresh. The salvation experience begins to sound the same for every story because it is.

But when Emily is almost killed by an unknown sniper, Mark must race against time to uncover the shooters true identity - before they return to finish the job. Members Reviews: Another good book from Irene Hannon I think I liked this book more than the first only because there was a stronger romance thread than action. That's not to take away from the first book because it also kept me captivated! Irene Hannon does it again! I loved this book! Great story line, strong characters, I highly recommend this book! You can't go wrong! repetitive angst Any additional comments? The story is ok but I was sick of constantly hearing how Emily can't let Mark into her life because if she loves again she will get hurt again, again, again... Enough is enough BLACKBERRYS!!! Bring on the biscuits! Because you're going to have a lot of Blackberrys so you might as well make jam ...they don't use cell phones or devices they use BlackBerries!!!! Good story I like the author but her preoccupation with Blackberrys is annoying. Another Winner I have really enjoyed the first two books in this series & look forward to the third!

Now Adam is back in Middlefield and Emma can't seem to keep him away from her family's farm. But this time she's determined to guard her heart. It might be love that keeps him there... or perhaps just guilt. When a newcomer arrives in town and shows an interest in Emma, she dismisses Adam's insistence that she be cautious. All this attention is new to her and she doesn't know quite how to accept it. Emma knows her Heavenly Father treasures her. But will her new beau? Members Reviews: Fantastic about being Christian If you could sum up Treasuring Emma in three words, what would they be? Honest, one-sitting and well written. Which character as performed by Kirsten Potter was your favorite? Adam - because of his actions. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Bad things happen but God is in full control Any additional comments? A thrill. Clean Christian romance with a storyline that makes you see it could happen to you. Has been so hard to distinguish characters... Any additional comments? Almost no voice inflection for different characters, men and women sounding almost the same. Story was s-l-o-w and didn't really get interesting, to me, until chapter 28. I'm hesitant to purchase the next book in the series b/c it's the same reader and I wonder if the story will be any better, but we'll see...
