Publisher's summary

Oakley Spurlock is dying. She only has weeks to live thanks to a freak infection that totally and completely destroyed her kidneys. Despite her family’s desperation, not a single one of them is a match. In a last-ditch attempt, Oakley’s father takes to social media to beg for help to save his daughter’s life.

Pace Vineyard is lost. So lost, in fact, that he’s not sure he wants to be found. But then a beautiful woman’s face is splashed across social media, and Pace finds a spark in his soul for the first time since a bomb went off beside him. He’s already missing two legs. What’s one more kidney? At least, that’s what he tells himself. What he doesn’t expect is to give his heart to the woman too. Or for the woman to run away with it and force him to follow.

LOVE this series!

I love this story! The narrators do a great job narrating this story. It’s a great brain candy book with an HEA ending. To me, it was worth the credit.

WONDERFUL STORY LINE AND NARRATION

I'm never one to leave reviews, but felt compelled. have never read or listened to Mrs. Vale before. actually found this book doing an audible search for Teddy Hamilton listens. I took a gamble, as it wasnt on Escape or discounted through Kindle Unlimited, but I'm a lush for a disabled veteran. (although Pace was from from disabled.) Glad I took the chance! Geez, Pace is a swoon worthy treat. absolutely, loved Viddy and her perspective, she brought tears on more than one occasion. love this takes place in Kilgore as I live actually less than an hour away and travel there to see our horse veterinarian. an absolute wonderful story line with ALL the feels of a greatly composed book. definitely a fan!

Could it get any better

I haven’t listened to all of lani’s stories, but I’ve read a handful and this one is by far my favorite. I love that these two physically broken people are strong by themselves but help make the other even stronger. I just love this story

Pace and Oakley

A heartwarming, and beautiful journey of friendship, devotion, and unconditional love. Pace and Oakley are simply perfect. Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton are fantastic narrators. I enjoyed listening to this sweet and adorable story.

this will tug on your heart strings

(Pace & Oakley): TRIGGERS: I.E.D., organ transplants, family neglect, abuse of authority, stalking. OMG, this story was so beautiful and fun. LLV will definitely have you in tears and in stitches. Pace is a double amputee veteran working for the Kilgore police department. He's never met the woman talked about in the article but he knows her as the sister of his friend Ford through the care packages she sent him overseas. Oakley is the middle child of the Spurlock clan and is very sick. She needs a transplant so her family has put out a search for those that match her blood type. Pace has always been interested in her but now he really wants her. They become close and her family takes him in and makes him part of the family. Their love story is slightly slow but not by much. They have great chemistry and are extremely hot together. In the meantime there's drama with both Pace 's former supervisor and his own family. They bring drama drama drama to the story. Such an amazing story. I really loved it.
