The Fallen Man

The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 5

De: Cat Treadgold

Narrado por: Cat Treadgold

An unexpected guest turns up in Port Townsend for Thanksgiving dinner at the O’Connell Compound. Edward, the eldest brother, has cast aside his Roman collar and arranged for an extended stay in a hotel. In his youth, he sowed some impressive wild oats. Joining the priesthood meant turning his back not only on his checkered past but also his worldly family.

Edward becomes a regular at Café Lisette, owned by the alluring and lissome Lisette Manegold. Based on scant evidence, his brother-in-law believes Lisette is a man-eater and a former call girl. Though those labels are off the mark, she has in fact buried an identity that would shock any family, let alone one as wealthy and respectable as the O’Connells.

Edward rejoices in his own fresh start and is prepared to overlook any and all dark secrets. It is Lisette who can’t forgive herself and move on. This Christmas season, they hope to reimagine the holiday together. If only the ghosts of the past will let them.

Book 5 of the Olympic Peninsula series.

Outstanding ending to this series

Wow! I am sad that this series is over. Hoping that the author may find a lost sibling to pop up with. Edward and Lisette's story was intriguing and my favorite adventure yet. I loved how everything was tied up. I do suggest you listen to these in order. It's a fantastic romance story that will leave you feeling every emotion because you will find the story and characters very relatable. The author narrates the story. She does a nice job. I can get behind recommending this series.

Must read romance

WOW! First let me tell you, STOP! Starting the first book in this series is in my opinion where this series starts. Getting to know all of the valuable characters will only bring the series together as you start to read book 5. Having said that, this story just gets better as you turn the pages. This is Edward O'Connell's story. His life takes so many journeys. His life from Priesthood to finding Lisette. Lisette has a story of her own, making this a story well worth the wait. This story will play with all of your emotions, from both of the main characters. I love this author and her writing skills. Her story is fast paced and will keep you wanting so much more. I can hardly wait to see what her next series brings us.

Great Story

5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Fallen Man is the 5th and final book in The Olympic Peninsula Series…This is a great conclusion to the series, I am a little sad. I feel fully invested into the characters in each book. I love the narration done by the author as she brings her story to life. I highly recommend stating this series from the beginning as key characters are in each book. This story is set during the Holidays introducing me to Edward, the elsest brother of the O’Connell’s. I really love his story.

Edward is a man searching… leaving the Church and walking away from his faith was not an easy decision. Edward soon finds himself taken in by the beautiful Lisette. Both Edward and Lisette have secrets but will those secrets get in the way to something magical….

Love, drama, betrayal and friendships…this is a great story and I highly recommend listening to this series!

Great audiobook

This is an author that Ihave enjoyed listening to from the first audio book. I enjoyed how the narrator pulled me into the story using different tones for the characters. Edward and Lisette are great characters that I really enjoyed. They are strong characters that have great chemistry. This is an easy and entertaining story to listen to. I really enjoy this author and I highly recommend this audiobook.

The Fallen Man Audiobook- Review by Laura J

Another fantastic book in The Olympic Peninsula Series! This is the last book in the series, and I'm sad to see it draw to a close. I've loved following this family through all these books and see the relationships develop over time. In this book, Edward, the eldest brother, is back home and is no longer a priest. The family doesn't know his reasoning for leaving the priesthood, but there is some speculation. Lisette is the owner of Cafe Lisette where Edward becomes a regular. Lisette has some rumors floating around that she used to be a call girl, but none of that is true. Edward and Lisette soon realize their feelings for one another, but will the O'Connell family welcome Lisette into their fold, or will rumors and past resentments keep her at bay? I loved seeing how all the family opened up to one another about their secret special gifts. That's how family should be, sharing with one another things that are so important. I've really enjoyed this series, and I look forward to more from this author.
