Embracing the Dawn

De: Jeannie Levig

Narrado por: Melissa Sternenberg

Does love have a chance when no one knows she wants it?

Jinx Tanner is an ex-con trying to piece together a life on the outside and heal her relationship with her half-sister who hasn't spoken to her in over 25 years. Romantic love is nowhere on her radar. E. J. Bastien is a business executive with her life and heart under control. She has a successful career, a woman in her bed whenever she wants one, and a healthy relationship with her grown children - as long as they don't find out she's gay. She has no desire for romantic entanglements.

When these two women awaken after a one-night stand to find their lives inextricably entwined, love has its work cut out for it.

wow now this really was better then I thought

this grabbed me in a nice way. the writer the characters were all In line. it all played out so well I was felt sorry for jinx but she was the hero and stood on her ground. it was a happy ending now if all relationships were that intense wow.it was great

A great romantic read

This was a really nice romantic read and a sweet story - I'd give it a 4.5/5. The story follows older characters which is a bit atypical (one of the characters is 50+). I enjoyed the narration as it wasn't over the top and felt appropriate for the tone of the story. This book read as a very classic romance and while it isn't an "oh-my-god" or "best ever" story, it avoided too much cheese or nonsense that sometimes plays romance novels that I've returned. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to hear a story about second chances and finding love late in life.

Wowzer!

Omg this book is brilliant! Such a well written romance. I feel all mushy inside just thinking about it. Great narrator

This is a must listen / Read…

I found this book to be refreshing. It’s not that I don’t love the perfect lives that most characters in Saffic romances are. Jinx has a past but turned her life around and I enjoyed how relatable she is. Great book.

A Good listen

This was a good story. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone.

why did I wait so long to read this?

I had read somewhere that this was a good book but for some reason hesitated on purchasing it. I'm so glad I finally did. It was a very good story with great narration. some of it was a little shocking but that just added to the emotions involved. there were funny parts and sad parts and I was a little sad to hear the book end. jinx was an awesome character and there were times I felt she should just give up on this woman, but all things worked out well of course. definitely a good listen.

A beautiful book about change and exceptance,

Highly recommend ,,, this book has a lot for everyone. Great writing and wonderful narration. Will definitely listen to it again in the future.

One of the best!

This is a terrific story. EJ and Jinx are very charismatic characters and their love story is complicated and incredibly satisfying. Highly recommended!

I loved that this wasn't quite the norm for lesfic

Great story! and great characters. It was defintely a different storyline with the whole ex-con storyline. I loved Jinx. Flow was great.
Narration was great too! I did have or notice a weird sound issue at about 2 hours 45 minutes into the book where it sounded like there was running water or a faucet running in the background. It was super distracting at first, but I learned to tune it out after awhile. just thought it was weird.

Very good

Would you consider the audio edition of Embracing the Dawn to be better than the print version?

I haven't read it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Embracing the Dawn?

The sisters finally making peace.

Have you listened to any of Melissa Sternenberg’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I can't remember.

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

Yes. It touched on a subject that is all around us, that a lot of people can't understand. Addiction is all around us, and it's always wonderful too see when a person rise like the phoenix from being dead for so long.

Any additional comments?

Thank you for letting us know that we can rise and redeem ourselves from a horrible existence. I know, and still I rise.
