Never Better... Thanks

Lennox Hills, Book 3

De: Jahquel J.

Narrado por: Ace Bentley, Staci Mitchell

When I envisioned the life that I wanted for myself, I pictured myself sitting in a rocking chair in the nursery me and my husband had spent months designing. I pictured looking down at a baby that resembled the both of us, and thanking God that he chose me to be their mother.

My reality was that I was staring down at another negative pregnancy test and realizing the possibility that I had failed another cycle of IVF, alone.

There was no husband here to comfort me, or a nursery that I could sit and sob in.

Each time that one line appeared, a small piece of me always died inside. It was like the plastic test was determining my future. My fate. Letting me know I wasn’t worthy of giving life. Becoming the one thing I had always wanted to become: a mother.

After taking this failed pregnancy test, I had to tie my scrubs, plaster a smile on my face and go out there and care for my patients. So, when someone smiled and asked me the dreaded question … How are you? I always smiled, though dying on the inside, and responded with, Never better … thanks.

I love the story

Everything about this book was wonderful EXCEPT THE male narrator!!!! He was HORRIBLE. Listening was excruciating because of him. I legit skipped all of the chapters he read. I will add him to the rejection list. If I see his name on any books I may potentially buy, I will not buy them if he is a narrator!

Amazing ending

Ember finally got her happy ending!! Her story was tuff. My girl went through so many losses. She couldn’t catch a break. When Laurent’s momma started praying for I started crying but when Laurent started praying baby I hollered. That man loves ember so much. His wife was a piece of work. The nerve of that ladyyyyy ouu I could’ve hit her with a brick. How could a mother not be connected with their child??? I pray we get another book since all the girls and brothers are together. I want to hear more about June and Quan we can’t leave that unfinished!

The Story

I’m so glad he lost the terrible accent as the story progressed, it was very distracting

Great Story

I wanted to listen to all three books in the series before forming an opinion. I loved each and every story. The plot for this one in particular was the best, in my opinion. I’m always a sucker for a great and relatable love story. Now, the narration for Laurent was very inconsistent. From the first chapter of Laurent to the last he sounded like two different people. It was confusing at times to keep up with who was “speaking“ in the story because of this. Also, Staci Mitchell’s narration got better as the series went on, however it seemed like each narrator struggled to make sense of what they were reading at times. What I mean is one moment they each would read the story how it was meant to be read aloud, and other times there were weird inflections and emphasis on words where they didn’t belong. Also also, there were a lot of repetitive words and phrases that I feel like an editor should have picked up on to change. You would have to listen to understand what I mean, but this did make it somewhat basic, again, in my opinion. Overall I still recommend the books.

too much grief

I didn't care for all the cheating. This was a Good story but it was not for me. I knew there would be fertility issues but was not prepared for the amount of loss and grief. I was not a fan of the male narrator either. His voice really didnt fit the character and it was hard for me to listen to. I struggled through mainly due to curiosity. Also, I really wanted more of a sweet romance.
