Publisher's summary

Elizabeth Adler is a master at depicting lush scenery, gourmet food, and the joys of travel.

Here, she tells the story of Lamour Harrington, a recent widow. She's immersed herself in landscape architecture, but even creating beautiful outdoor rooms can't bring back her happiness. When she's faced with a devastating truth about the husband she adored, Lamour returns to the house on the Amalfi coast where she'd lived with her father during the happiest years of her childhood.

There, she finds dangerous secrets, breathtaking beauty, two mysterious and compelling men, and the courage to live life to the fullest.

A great Italian coast escape.

Great story. Loved it. Narration was good except the usual challenge of a female doing a male characters voice.

Bana-what a Suprise ending

Didn't see that ending coming. The story dose drags just a bit. At one point I did dose off but when i woke up the story was so intriguing, I didn't dare go back. the ending was just a super surprise not who I thought at all good going. no spoiler here

Magnificent story

I loved hearing every word of this magnificent story. Thank you Elizabeth Adler and the narration was perfect!! Thank you Carrington MacDuffie- you did an amazing job- I could feel deep down what each character was feeling. The story was heartfelt, sad, fun, loving. I would have loved living the life of Amore.

Happy ending

I found the story being drug out and evolving slowly. I became sleepy while listening. The narration was a poor Italian accent and the old Japanese’s voice was terrible.

Love Has No Boundaries

Enjoyable - makes me want to visit Amalfi coast!

This was a fun, breezy listen - very enjoyable. I like how Adler describes places - the sights, sounds and and smells help you really envision it. And her characters are very believable. Romance and mystery team up to provide a good listening experience. I'll definitely try other audios by her and MacDuffie.
