Resumen del Editor

"If I want to get married and have a family (and I do), it's time for a plan!" (From Hallie McCarthy's diary)

The alarm on Hallie's biological clock is buzzing away. She's hitting the big three-0, and there's no prospect of marriage, no man in sight. But Hallie's an organized, goal-setting kind of person. She gives herself a year to meet Mr. Knight in Shining Armor. But all her dates are disasters. (There's the cheapskate and the sex fiend and - well, never mind.)

Too bad she can't just fall for her good-looking neighbor, Steve Marris. He's definitely not her type. Anyway, Steve's busy trying to win back his ex-wife, Mary Lynn, who's busy getting married - but not to Steve. Life would be so much simpler if he could fall for someone else. Like...Hallie.

They're friends, though - and sometimes friends become lovers. Sometimes friends become more....

Cute and thought provoking

Enjoyed it and the characters were intricate yet simple and truly human nice romance listen

When was this written??

One thing that I have found is important when reading a romance novel is to check the publication date. I started reading this book thinking it was published within the last decade at least. Not that I can't enjoy a good 90s romantic, but my mindset was not prepared for the heroine to be obsessed with losing 10 lbs, finding her self worth in a man and in the end settling for a man that is settling for her.

another winner

This was another enjoyable story and characters. Debbie Macomber is my favorite writer. Thank you

Struggled with Narrator's Male Voices for Women

Another delightful story by Debbie Macomber. The narrator had a good voice but all the adults sounded like men.

The speaker was not great.

The story was interesting but it seemed like it was spoken, in spots, by a computer. It was hard to get into the story because I kept thinking about it.

I enjoyed the story

A good story with some humor. I really liked the narrator, sometimes the different male voices wasn't quite distinguished from others, but definitely a good book that was fun to listen to. Give it a try!

Love Debbie Macomber

This is another book by Debbie Macomber that I find hard to stop until I'm done. Debbie writes books that I wouldn't worry about one of my grandchildren getting hold of and get they aren't so marshmallow that I would lose interest.

Not the Macomber of Later Years

And as much as I typically like Kate Rudd, her reading on this project is stilted and almost monotone at points.

The character development in this book was good, just protracted. Some of the scenes - well - not exactly PG and the odd part is that you can almost feel an awkwardness in the writing.

Readers that haven’t read DM’s later works (with their more PG ratings) will probably enjoy this more than I did.

Emotional and Fulfilling

What a great read! I was laughing so hard at times. Once again Debbie created such a great get away and yet so much reality that you can't help but get emotionally attached. I loved it!
