The Blessing

De: Jude Deveraux

Narrado por: Don Jellerson

When wealthy, hard-driving corporate genius Jason Wilding reluctantly takes a break from his business and his husband-hunting girlfriends for a Christmas visit to his hometown in Abernathy, Kentucky, he has no idea what his physician brother, David, has in store for him. It seems that Amy Thompkins, a whimsical young widow with definite artistic talent, has captured David's heart, but courting her with a demanding baby in tow has been difficult. In order to pursue her, he persuades Jason to move into her home and take care of her spoiled but adorable son, Max, for a week.

For a fiercely efficient CEO, it's an impossible scene: a falling-down old house; buckets on the dining-room floor to catch the rain; a widow living on next to nothing, with no marketable skills. But Amy's joy for life, her love for her son, and her sparkling humor are irresistible - and tiny Max adores Jason beyond reason. Soon, Jason sees Amy and her future as a prime target for his strategic planning. Importing his private chef to prepare the little one's food and buying a baby store so that his mother can get real bargains are just the beginning. Because enigmatic Jason is thawing - the tender feelings and longing he has buried for years are begging to be heard.

Mutual attraction is glowing bright, but what to do about David? Once again, Jude Deveraux's deft hand and loving vision conjure up a novel full of surprises and delights, in a story that will warm all our hearts and make us believe in the power of miracles, large and small. It's a tale for all seasons, and a love story to remember always.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Plenty of romance, fun and adventure... fans won't be disappointed." ( San Antonio Express-News)

Who doesn't want a handsome billionaire?

As usual Jude does not disappoint.
This is a fun, quirky and sometimes unbelievable romance. The characters, setting and story line make you want to move to the little town of Abernathy.

it appears as if everything can't be fixed with money, but it is fun trying, or at least reading about trying.

Thank you Jude for another great read.

love this book

this book is another hit with me. I love how each book has it's own story

Good Story

Promising yet falls a little weak at the end. Not fond of this narrator prefer female narrator voices.

the narrator

The narrator was easy to listen to.
I have stopped listening to some books because the narrator got on my nerves.
Not so with this audio book.

Definitely worth the listen!

Entertaining story and good humor, the narrator was a great choice and brought life to all the characters. I laughed out loud several times and am happy to have this remain in my library for a rainy day re-read.

Love it

This is an easy listen. Great story even if a little predictable. Now I want to hear about Max as a grown up!

Love this story

I read this book years ago and I loved it. The audible version was just as good!

Slow but good ending

This started out very slow. I considered stopping several times. But about half way thru it picked up and the last few chapters turned it around.

Jude Deveraux is wonderful!

I think I'll read every book that Jude Deveraux writes! She has so many fresh ideas and puts them out there in perfect form!

Hits all emotions

Emotional on all levels. Attention to life’s real problems. Love Jude’s stories past and present.
