An Aspen Cove Romance, Book 3

De: Kelly Collins

Narrado por: Logan McAllister

Best-selling author Kelly Collins welcomes you back to Aspen Cove, the tiny Colorado town where anything can happen if you just open your heart and mind.

Pop star Samantha White walks off the stage and disappears into a crowd of cheering fans. After 10 years as the music sensation known as Indigo, she needs to figure out who she really is. With her manager pressuring her to sign a new contract, Samantha runs to the only place she remembers with fondness - Aspen Cove - a small town that embraced 12-year-old Samantha when she and her mother finally left her abusive father.

She’s sure a few weeks of peace in a secluded cabin will be exactly what she needs to figure out where to go from here. But when Dalton Black storms into her life, Samantha realizes she may not get the clarity and calm she’s seeking. If she plays her cards right, she’ll get something better - love.

Dalton Black doesn’t ask for much. But then, he knows most people would say he doesn’t deserve much - not after spending six years in prison for killing a man. He’s carved out a quiet life in Aspen Cove where he knows who is friend and who is foe. Just when he’s accepted his life will be a string of meaningless relationships, he meets Samantha White and everything changes.

Can a famous singer find her forever with an ex-convict? Or will the secrets they keep tear them apart? Find out in One Hundred Wishes.

A Sweet Small Town Romance with Good Narration!

I listened to the Audiobook. Once again, the narration was well done. This is the third book in the series. I read the first one and listened to the audio version of books 2 and 3. I have found that these are good stories whether you read them or listen to them.

I imagine they can be read as standalones, but I think they are better read in order. In this book, two unlikely people end up finding love. Both Dalton and Samantha feel a little damaged and a little hopeless. Because of their pasts, they recognize a kindred spirit in one another.

I like the whole small town atmosphere, support of friends and family, and sense of community. There was very little angst in the story. Some things I expected to happen , which would have increased the angst factor, never did happen. There was also some suspense involved did to both Dalton and Sam having secrets that they were initially unwilling to share.

Ultimately unexpected occurrences caused some changes in Aspen Cove, but those situations forced Dalton and Samantha to realize their HEA. A sweet, sexy, small town romance.

I voluntarily listened to and reviewed the Audiobook received from the author.

Is Samantha and Dalton’s relationship doomed before it even starts?

One Hundred Wishes is the third book in the Aspen Cove Romance series. Samantha, better known to the world as the pop star princess Indigo, has escaped to Aspen Cove, hoping to reclaim a bit of peace, sanity, and to find her muse again. All too soon, she meets Dalton, an ex con, talented chef, and her crush from her childhood. Samantha is quickly realizing that Dalton has won over her heart, but with too many secrets between them and her pop star status, is their relationship doomed before it even starts?

Holy smokes, this was the first time that I was able to experience this book (finally!!) and it was sooooo good! Definitely lived up to all of my expectations and I fell in love with Samantha and Dalton right away! You can’t help but feel pain for Samantha, for the naïve mistakes she makes when she was younger, and for the hopes, dreams, and wishes she has for her present life and future! Same with Dalton, he’s so wounded from his past, but you just fall in love with him because of how much of a protector he truly is. I love their connection that builds and forms before the media catches up, but once they do, I love the way the media plays into later events, too! This book is so captivating, tugs at your heart, fills you up with goodness, and just oozing with love trying to overcome anything!

And another great one!

I'm in love with Aspen Cove and everyone in it. The felon and the pop star got there happily ever after and more than deserve it...

narration was good and I hope you give this book a chance, I loved it!

I received a free copy from the author and this is my honest review as per audiobookboom

I thoroughly enjoyed 'One Hundred Wishes' brought to life by Logan McAllister. Dalton & Samantha's story was one I never saw coming. At the same time they are perfect together. There is a strong emphasis on abuse in this story. Something both Samantha & Dalton have in common. I appreciate this as it is a problem too often hidden, ignored or thought deserved. Kudos to Ms. Collins for including it here.

I was given a free Audible copy of this story, at my request, in exchange for a honest review.
