Publisher's summary

Free-spirited Opal Gilbert seems to have everything she needs to keep living a happy life in Sunset Cove as she refurbishes vintage furniture to sell at her funky ocean-side boutique, Bless This Mess. Until Lincoln Cole, a new-to-town ex-Marine nursing deep wounds and harboring hurts he can't seem to shake, wanders into her shop. Opal knows a person in need when she sees one and offers Lincoln a job in her workshop. But the brooding former soldier has no interest in Opal's offer. Thanks but no thanks.

But then a hurricane strikes, damaging Bless This Mess. Feeling guilty for how he treated Opal, Lincoln decides to help her repair the store. And soon it becomes clear Opal wants to restore not only her business, but also help Lincoln find restoration. As much as Lincoln tries to keep her at arm's length, Opal's well-meaning meddling begins to heal his wounds...and capture his heart almost before he realizes it.

Sweet Story. Character voices confusing to me.

The story is sweet. This is the second story I have listened to with this narrator. I don't understand why the men and women sound like they are in their 70-90's when the books describes them to be in their 30's. This makes it difficult to picture the character as described when the voice doe not match.

Wonderful Decent Story

This book was wonderful. Most definitely one of my favorites. I loved the characters, and was sad when it ended! I liked how well the narrator switched so easily between characters, and she portrayed the characters well, although she made some of the characters sound extremely gruff. After a while it grew on me and became kinda comforting lol. But all in all, I loved this book! ❤️

narration lacking

I think i would have loved this book after reading it. but the narration (specifically for Lincoln) almost ruined the book. I had to push through the fake accent instead of a coastal southern accent. It would have been better without any accents.

The moral of the story is good!

The narration was difficult to get through. The accent was inconsistent and the characters voices sounded like they were sick, were chain smokers or 80 years old and made it hard to follow who they really were.

loved Opal

I like the storyline. The narration wasn't very good. It took me a while to get into it. once I got over the narration voices, it was better. I laughed and at times yelled at Lincoln. ha ha 😂 🤣

Good Read

Love ,Reconciliation, Seashells , crazy fisher woman ,and Beach what more can a listener ask for?

Lincoln’s Story is fascinating

I loved the author’s focus on trying to get a soldier to feel his feelings. The result was interesting and made me think more than I ever have about the difficulty of choosing what kind of person to be.

Narrator is awful

Sounded like Opal has been smoking for 40years and was Lincolns grandma...and Lincoln...also sounded horribly old. Was hard to picture and believe.
I'm from the south and we don't sound like this everytime we speak. Bad accent.
Love the story line.

Male voices

Make voices a little strange. Maybe use a male reader so that not every one sound old or hoarse

Awful narrative

I liked the book but The voice of Lincoln made him sound like an old man who lives on the street! And Opal sounded like his sister who lost her voice and has to whisper now.
