Resumen del Editor

Years after suffering the tragic loss of her husband, Ethan, which left her alone to raise their young daughter, Clare Murray still holds the last letter he wrote with the words "When You're Ready" written in his familiar messy handwriting, unable to break its weathered seal. Ready for what? He was her entire world, and Clare had accepted a life without him, without love. Until years later, fate brings her to an emergency room, and face to face with a stormy-eyed doctor intent on changing her mind.

Son of a billionaire, Logan Matthews has spent his life trying to make his absentee father proud. Without a family to depend on, all he's ever wanted is a place to call home. After a failed marriage, Logan believes he's unworthy of love...until he meets a woman who awakens his spirit and transforms his entire life in an instant. But how far are Clare and Logan willing to go for love? Can his love mend the pieces of her grieving heart?

When their love is tested, is Clare ready to put her whole heart on the line again? Can Logan learn the true meaning of love, even if it means sacrificing his own happiness? When a second chance at love is given, Clare and Logan learn you are never truly ready until you're ready to risk it all.

loved it

great book.  I really enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading more books from this author in the future.

Juvenile constant use of the word “fuck.”

I liked the story and narration, but enough is enough. It hit very annoying to hear it every few minutes.

Utterly Heartwarming

I loved this heartwarming story about having faith and second chances. These characters stole my heart and I can't wait to read the next book!

Beautiful story

This story had such a heartbreaking quality to much of it but it reminds us that when we loose a loved one life can and will go on. I loved these characters. This book gives a good foundation for a cast of characters to carry the series forward. The narration was very well done and a joy to listen to.

Very Good

My Review:
Overall: 4.5
Performance: 4.25
Story: 4.5

Going into this book, I knew it would be a hard one. How can it not be with a widow left as a single mother? But I quickly fell in love with the story. I really liked how it was set up and how easily Ethan fell for Claire's daughter. I liked how he fell for her just as much as he fell for her mother. This is definitely a story about falling for an entire family.

This was an incredible audiobook. I've never read a book by this author, but this definitely won't be my last...although there were moments there at the end where I wondered if I'd made the wrong choice with taking a risk with a new author...some authors really like to rip their readers hearts out. While I definitely had tears, it did work out in the end.

Both narrators did an amazing job with the story. Toward the end, I was tempted to switch to my kindle version just because I can read it faster, but I didn't want to give up the "voices" of the narrators because they were definitely integral to my enjoyment of the story. I recommend it.

Loved it

I loved the book when I read it
The audio book is just as good as the print
Loved having the dual narrators
They both did a great job

It's not pronounced mis-CHEE-vi-us

The producers at Audible are intent upon making it necessary for me to start a one-woman crusade to end the mispronunciation of mischievous. The male narrator is consistent in his mangling of the word and it grates Every. Single. Time. It would be understandable for a narrator to mispronounce a word that has regional differences in inflection (the place name Lancaster comes to mind), but mischievous is an every day word. Please, please get it right.

The story is charming and the characters engaging. There is a perfect balance of bitter and sweet. This is the first time I've read this author and I plan to seek out more J.L. Berg.

Great

this is a great book. loved the story plot and ending. the narrators are really good at voicing the characters

Absolutely 💯 loved it...

This story is so very accurate on recovery, and the aftermath. I found myself crying in a couple places, only because the story mimicked my own story.
