Choosing Nellie

Love in Time, Book 2

De: Anna Huckabee

Narrado por: Michaela Kondor

Nellie has been jilted. Twice. Now, living in Boston with her aunt and uncle, she can't seem to get out from under the stigma of those rejections. Desperate for something to give meaning and purpose to her life, she takes a job as a companion to a rich, elderly lady. But when she meets Louellen McGowen, Nellie comes face to face with the type of angry, hateful woman she will become if she doesn't make some drastic changes in her attitude and outlook on life.

Mrs. McGowen’s nephew, Warren Burke, is a wealthy businessman whose import/export business requires he travel the world. He’s never taken time to settle down with a home or family of his own. Warren is relieved when Nellie agrees to be his aunt’s companion and he can focus on his work responsibilities. But when he watches her interaction with his difficult aunt, he realizes he may have met a woman with whom he could spend the rest of his life.

Warren is everything Nellie has ever dreamed of in a husband, but she is sure he couldn’t be interested in her. What will it take for Warren to convince everyone he is choosing Nellie?

A Beautiful Story, Worth Hearing Again

I love Anna Huckabee’s books—they’re always full of heart, and Choosing Nellie is no exception. It’s not just a romance—it’s the story of a withdrawn, grumpy older woman slowly coming back to life through the friendship of a tenacious young woman with a troubled past. Their bond is touching, and it’s through this connection that the young woman also finds love—with the older woman’s devoted nephew, who’s deeply moved by the change he sees in his aunt.

I actually requested this audiobook from the author because I loved the book so much—I just wanted to hear it come to life. The narrator was okay—she had expression and read with feeling—but the recording quality wasn’t the best, and her voice sounded younger than I supposed the main female character should be. Maybe with a slightly deeper tone and crisper production, it would draw the listener in more. Still, I can’t wait to hear another one of Anna’s stories!

Finally finding the love of your life

The story was great. The characters blended so well. It reminded me of my story. I was 25 before I married. I wondered if it would ever happen to me like Nellie did. The reading seemed a little off to me.
I love historical romances. This was a good one. It didn’t take forever and around Robinhoods bend for them to figure it out. A few books I have read or listened to seemed to take too long to get where they needed to be. A little silly sometimes. Nellie did not do that. Partly because she talked with her mother. I did too. 😊‼️‼️💜🤗🙏🏻🦋
