Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Julianne MacLean comes the next installment in her popular Color of Heaven Series, where people are affected by real-life magic - and occasional miracles that have the power to change everything they once believed about life and love.

Recently divorced television reporter Katelyn Roberts has stopped believing in relationships that last forever, until a near-death experience during a cycling accident changes everything. When she miraculously survives unscathed, a deeply buried memory draws her to the quaint seaside town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

There, on the rugged, windswept coast of the Atlantic, she finds herself caught up in the secrets of a historic inn that somehow calls to her from the past. Is it possible that the key to her true destiny lies beneath all that she knows, as she explores the grand mansion and its property? Or that the great love she's always dreamed about is hidden in the alcoves of its past?

Critic reviews

"I never know what to say about a Julianne MacLean book, except to say you have to read it." (AllRomanceReader.ca)

Cute story

Past life regression. Didn’t expect her books to delve into it. Sweet story but I have to say Bailey’s voice drove me crazy. Same voice used for old people (who weren’t THAT old). I found myself making fun of the voice out loud as I listened to the book on my headphones. Hopefully the neighbors didn’t hear me. I hope that voice isn’t in the next book, but if it is I shall enjoy mocking it again.

Love

I love these books and always can't wait until the next one comes out. YAY

I’m not into the “Woo-Woo” stuff

I


I like the author’s excellent writing and the narrators were excellent. Because this was a subject I don’t embrace, (reincarnation) that part of the book dragged on and on. I wanted to complete the story to see where it was heading. Time travel: sci-fi and okay. Reincarnation: woo-woo and not something I embrace.
I was drawn to the series because of the inspiration and people who didn’t believe in Heaven realized that Heaven is real.

I'm enjoying this book series.

I wish I had the option of using audible on each and every book . In this series there was several books that had the ability to use the audible app for $1.99 and up, but the remaining did not offer this.. I did however downloaded the app offered by audible.com at $14,95 per month, first month was free. Today I d/l the next two books but I had trouble finding them in my library on this device nor on my cloud. And as for the audible app, it doesn't show them at all. And on this particular book and a lesser amount of skips and a notice some what like static. The books 1-8 were nearly perfect.

Now as for this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it! There was enough ties to the last book but not so much that someone could pick it up and read it without being confused. I think the stories are getting a tiny bit monotonous in that their story lines are pretty much the same. However, I have a very hard time forcing myself to stop for the night.

COMPLICATED AND KIND OF “OUT THERE”…

I enjoyed this book to a point; however, the details got to be a little too complicated to keep track of. I most enjoyed the time that focused on Evangeline and Sebastian and their life together.

Whenever the story flipped back to Katelyn, she always sounded like she was in a rush to get somewhere (the narrator does a HORRIBLE imitation of a Maine accent)! Horrible!

I did not enjoy the narrator in the previous book by this author either (I believe it was Book 4 that I read last).

The voice of Bailey…! Listening to nails on a chalkboard would be preferable! I thought my ears were going to bleed in some parts of the book! I don’t know who edits some of these books, but I can’t for the life of me, understand HOW, the editors can listen to a voice such as Bailey’s and think, “PERFECT! That was great! We’re going to produce it JUST LIKE THAT!”

I did enjoy the setting of this book — Cape Elizabeth and Portland, Maine, a part of the U.S. that I am especially fond of. Whenever they were mentioned, I found a smile on my face. Many of Ms. MacLean’s books take place in Maine or in another favorite place of mine — Nova Scotia (a gorgeous place). I have spent a lot of time there and can’t help but smile when I hear the names of places there where I have been. In the last book, a wedding took place at “Peggy’s Cove,” a place in which I’ve spend a considerable amount of time. A more beautiful place you’ll never see (there is a gorgeous red and white lighthouse on the rocks there).

I have purchased all of the books in Ms. MacLean’s “Color” series. The first three I read were SO good they made me cry (hard).

Then I read, “The Color of a Christmas Miracle,” which I hated so much I got my credit back from Audible. This book wasn’t AS BAD, but I’m glad I didn’t read either of these two books in the series first, because I would have missed out on the others in the series I’ve enjoyed so much thus far. I have five books left in the series. I HOPE they are as good as the first several I read! (And Lord, please let them be narrated by someone other than who narrated this book)!

I DO listen to the Audible samples before I buy, but I don’t find them to always be an accurate representation of what the book is really like overall. I also read the book reviews, but reviews are completely subjective.

While my review is mostly negative, I hope it won’t keep other readers from TRYING the book. Just because I didn’t care for it doesn’t mean other readers won’t enjoy it.

glad I didn't read this first

this one was too "out there". literally gave me a headache. I soared through the first several books and greatly enjoyed them but this one was a pain. I hope the next one isn't this extreme or it'll be my last
