Leaving Oxford

Southern Hearts Series, Volume 1

De: Janet W. Ferguson

Narrado por: Naomi Karez

Escaping home to Oxford, Mississippi, seemed like a good idea. Until it wasn't.

A year after a tragic accident in Los Angeles flipped her world upside down, advertising guru Sarah Beth LeClair is still hiding away in her charming hometown of Oxford, Mississippi. And she may well be stuck there forever. Suffering from panic attacks, she prays for healing. Instead, her answer comes in the form of an arrogant football coach and an ugly puppy.

Former celebrity college quarterback Jess McCoy dreamed of playing pro football. One freak hit destroyed his chances. Although he enjoys his work as the university's offensive coordinator, his aspirations have shifted to coaching at the highest level. His plans of moving up are finally coming together -- until he falls for a woman who won't leave town.

As the deadline for Jess's decision on his dream career looms, the bars around Sarah Beth's heart only grow stronger. But it's time to make a decision about leaving Oxford.

All things work together for good

I loved this book. I really liked listening to the trials that Sara Beth went through and how she struggled to be where she was. I liked her strength and seeing that others saw it in her even with her debilitating anxiety. I loved how the author addressed this very real mental health issue. I liked seeing her perspective on christians using medications to deal with the issue. I liked how it was shown that even when we struggle, God can still use us. The narrator did a great job reading this story. I had a hard time focusing on doing anything else while I was listening to this book. I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for romance and seeing how God can use the bad things in life for good.

Leaving Oxford

This was a well written, clean Christian book. The book was good and the narration was very well done. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy by the author, publisher or narrator.

For Contemporary Romance Fans

The narrator did a good job with Leaving Oxford by Janet Ferguson. With a good clear voice, Naomi Karez reflected the action taking place. I enjoyed listening to this story during football season (although it can be read at any time of year). This contemporary romance is a fun listen with lessons of faith. I was given a copy of this audiobook. All opinions are my own.

A Breath of Fresh Air!

Story about Trust

This is the first I've read of author Janet Ferguson. I enjoyed how this book sets up the full cast of characters for this series. This is Christian Fiction and I enjoyed how Ms. Feguson uses this platform to share the message of Christ with others.

This story focuses on Sarah Beth and Jess. We really get to know each of them personally and I like how the romance wasn't rushed. Great story and nice set up for future books in the series.

This is also the first I've heard Narrator Naomi Karez. She has beautiful diction, clarity and pacing. There were a few times some dialog fell flat (little emotion), but it didn't take away from the overall story. There were also some different pronunciations of a handful of words, but again, no biggie.

Overall, I really enjoyed book 1 and look forward to book 2. It's fun to guess who will be the focus.
