Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's summary

Sarah has always been torn between two worlds - the carefree, easygoing world of her hippie mom, where life is all about helping others and building good karma, and the real world, with real responsibilities, like paying bills, and getting to work on time - values obviously gleaned from dad's side of the family.

She has nothing but fond memories of her father. He was always there for her, and clearly loved her mother more than she thought possible, despite mom's overtly eccentric behavior. Losing dad was tough, but Sarah's been reduced to being the girl with the crazy mom, a reputation that's not likely to increase her chances of landing her dream promotion at the resort across the bay. Especially with the new competition. Ben is an attractive, sophisticated, and savvy businessman, clearly there to destroy her chances of getting the job. Her luck couldn't be worse.

With an obvious attraction and closeness forming between the two, Sarah discovers that Ben's motives may not be as clear as she first thought. What's he really doing there? Is she being played?

Benjamin Rothschild has come to the popular upscale resort strictly for business. There to evaluate Sarah for a new position, he can't help being drawn in by her sensual charm and free-spirited nature. But for some reason, this passionate beauty has it out for him. What has he ever done to her?

With so much confusion and something obviously lost in the translation, he'll have to do everything in his power to convince her that his intentions for her are true.

A good story.

I really liked this story. It kept my attention and the plot was enjoyable. I loved the beginning where the hero shows up sick and they carry him up the stairs unconscious. It was quite the visual. The whole story line was very good with good characters.
The only bad thing about this audio book is that there were numerous editing screw ups. They were very distracting. I will, however, be looking for more books by Jill Sanders.

Not a bad read

I enjoyed this book Sarah the main character annoyed me in the beginning but was fine eventually. The ending surprised me a bit. The editing on both books 1 2 is not great they repeat a bit.

Extremely predictable

This is the worst narration I have experienced in the literally 100 plus books I have purchased. If there was a story here this guy killed it! And his foreign accents were horrible. Glad I didn’t pay extra for this title.

Terrible editing

Love Jill Sanders and this series but it is very distracting when there are so many repetitions of the same line that were obviously meant to be edited out. Whoever the audio editor for this series was definitely didn’t do his/her job.

Sweet Beginning

What did you love best about Silver Lining?

I liked the story behind the story. The interaction between the characters was great. There was a little suspense. Things were laid out where the reader knew what was happening long before the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ben was my favorite character. I admired the way he went after the girl and still managed to keep things professional.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene is the meeting between Sarah and her grandfather.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book had a serious tone to it for me. It made me smile at times, but I didn't laugh out loud or cry.

Any additional comments?

This is a good book to cozy up with a nice cup of something warm.

Super Sweet

Would you consider the audio edition of Silver Lining to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the book yet but I am loving audio books.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that Ben really didn't know the whole truth about Sarah's identity.

Which scene was your favorite?

I just loved the how the whole story flowed and I liked how Sarah helped Ben with his sister. I enjoyed how Ben and his boss and sister showed up to tell Sarah the truth.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

HMMM, not real sure but this would play our nicely on the big screen,

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed listening to this book and I would listen to it again.

Skips a lot

This recording skips back several words all throughout recording. I didn’t really enjoy the narrator doing women’s voices. Not good at it.

3.75~

What about Roy Samuelson’s performance did you like?

He does an amazing job voicing the characters, including the female voices.

Any additional comments?

Boy meets girl, he's smitten. Girl meets boy, she dislikes him on the spot. Throw in some awkward and funny moments, an up to no good best friend, and a hero who won't give up and you have a fun love story. Despite the light heartedness of the story there is also a couple of moments where your heart will ache for the characters. What I liked most about the H and h is that they deal with what life has given them and keep moving forward.
