De: Robin Patchen

Narrado por: Leonor A. Woodworth, Jeff Moon

From a USA Today bestselling author...

Sam never understood why Eliza left him five years ago, ghosting him without explanation. He’s avoided romance ever since, focusing on building his business. Money might not keep him warm at night, but it can sure buy a lot of blankets.

Then Eliza shows up on his doorstep and throws herself into his arms. She can’t explain her bruises or the head injury that’s left her with no memories of the past five years, including their breakup. No matter how good it feels to hold her, though, there’s no way he’s getting sucked into romance again.

He’ll deliver Eliza to her mother, and that will be that. But instead of finding her mom, they’re met by two attackers and barely escape alive. Despite the danger to his life and his heart, he can’t leave Eliza to fend for herself.

Together, they embark on a journey to reconstruct her past while evading the men chasing her. As Sam and Eliza close in on the truth, their romance reignites, but her secret threatens to destroy them both.

Prepare to be enthralled by this gripping story of amnesia, a second chance at love, and a secret baby. Running to You is an edge-of-your-seat Christian romantic suspense set in Maine that will keep you listening all night long.

The book itself is great

The book and story line are great. The narration is awful with the male narrator.

It didn’t keep me listening all night.

This one was… fine. Not bad, but not particularly memorable either.
The premise had potential, especially with the amnesia angle, and the overall storyline was solid. Unfortunately, the execution felt slow. The story dragged in several places, and it often felt like it took a long time to get through without much payoff. Outside of the amnesia element, there wasn’t a lot of real suspense, which made it hard to stay fully engaged. It definitely didn’t have that “just one more chapter” pull.
As for the narration, the female narrator did a decent job, but the male narrator felt completely wrong for the character. His voice didn’t fit at all, and his female voice was especially distracting, which pulled me out of the story more than once.
Overall, it was an okay listen, but not one I’d go out of my way to recommend. I probably won’t continue the series unless the books go on sale. I wouldn’t use another credit on it.
