Love Multiplied

This is a wonderful story of love lost and gained. Olivia is given the 'opportunity' to come into her own and grab life by the horns when her husband leaves her. Me being the hopeless romantic, before listening, hoped they would get back together, but after an hour into the book I was hoping for anything but that.

I have to say that the author, Jennifer Theriot, did a great job of weaving a feeling of fulfillment and a sense of love around the main and secondary characters. There were a lot of instances to learn as Olivia gained the self-confidence she'd been lacking. The author did a great job at developing Olivia's character and allowing the listener to get to know her.

I enjoyed the fact that this was a love story with mature characters that still had a lot of life to live. I also liked the fact that the author showed as much attention in the love the main characters had for each other as they had for their families and friends. I believe it rounded out the storyline.

I'm so glad I got the audio version of this book because there were so many wonderful surprises, but I'm not going to give them away.

This love story was well written and well rounded. Great job Jennifer Theriot.

Excellent all the way!

Where does Out of the Box Awakening rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Amazing story, between two people that are in a 'difficult' age to re start their lives, as we are used to reading about younger couples, this book makes the difference because its characters are 'older' but still awesome and fall in love and make things happen. The first book I've listened to, from Jenniffer Theriot and narrated by Triera Holley.
I received this audiobook for an honest review and I really want to say YOU SHOULD ALL READ it out there it is ABSOLUTELY wonderful!.
Thanks a lot for this book!!1

Great Read

older love story

loved that the characters were older. did not like the voice that was used for olivia. way too soft spoken and little girl sounding for me.

Amazing

Wow...what an amazing book! This is the first book I have read by this author and it definitely won't be my last. This book will hook you from page 1. I couldn't put it down. The narrator was perfect for this. I just can't give this enough stars. If your looking for a book that isn't like every other one out there then I strongly recommend this!

A great story to listen to! This book felt so real the author did amazing job with everyone's feelings!

Out of the box

This story is about a late life journey and starting over. The story is well written with some great complex characters! I can't imagine moving someone such a great distance only to end your relationship. What a jerk. Olivia handles this all with such grace I just love her character! I love the song in the narration very nice touch! Great job on narration!

So much more than I expected!!!

This book was so much more than I expected! I loved how realistic the story was and could relate to many aspects of it. The characters were well developed and the narration was perfect. I fully enjoyed it. The audiobook does have a few sound effects (echo & multiple people in one instance, & song) which did not take away from the story. This book is a standalone listen, but not the complete story (there are 2 more books that continue this second chance at romance). I have purchased all 3 books in the e-book series. I do hope that the other stories will come out on audio and be performed by Triera Holley. Part of what I love about this series is the focus of Olivia and Ash being over the age of 50. Another aspect that I fully enjoyed was the humor. I thought it was awesome how strong Olivia was and admired her for stepping out of her comfort zone. I was voluntarily provided with this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

December Romance

60-year-old Olivia’s about to have her entire life uprooted in more ways than one. Her husband’s job has transferred him from Houston to Chicago. Ever the dutiful wife, Olivia has packed up their life and heads to Chicago. Olivia’s husband is not there to greet her when she arrives, it’s his first dick move but it won’t be his last. He pulls the plug on their marriage via phone leaving Olivia reeling and alone in an unfamiliar place.

Widower Ash Harper offers Alan and Olivia Peterson use of his large home while they settle into life in Chi-Town. When Alan discards his wife, Ash is there to help pick up the pieces. He wants to show her that she is special and all the things she’s been missing in her life.

This book will wring every possible emotion out of you! Fear, loss, despair, hate, resolve, hope and finally love. It’s a December romance and I loved it. Author Jennifer Theriot wrote such a compelling story that pulls you in from the start.

This audiobook is over 12 hours and is narrated by Triera Holley. It’s my first listen by this narrator and I thought she did great in this fully voiced production. So many different emotions were required in the telling of this story and Triera did them all admirably.

Out Of The Box leaves you with a feeling of hope and punctuates there is life after fifty no matter what cards life deals you and that’s empowering!

This audiobook was given to me at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review, thanks, Audiobook Boom!

ticked ALL the boxes for me!

i loved this story very much. i loved Ash & Olivia and their story, their families and the way they maneuvered though some tricky life situations. I most enjoyed chapter 31 and Todd's song. Absolutely beautiful. I will be re-listening to that often!
