As You Are

By: Sarah M. Eden

Narrated by: Jason Tatom

A horse breeder by trade, Corbin Jonquil is more at home in the stables than in the ballroom of his sprawling estate. Corbin is the quietest of the Jonquil brothers and has always faded into the background, contentedly unnoticed. When a mysterious young widow, Mrs. Clara Bentford, moves into the neighborhood, however, Corbin quickly comes to realize that being noticed has its advantages. But how to catch the eye of the lady? According to his brothers, Corbin need only make a few simple changes to transform himself into the object of any woman's desire - dubious advice, indeed. Following a series of misadventures, Corbin and Clara slowly lower the facades behind which they've been hiding, leaving Corbin shocked by the horrors that haunt the woman he's coming to care for so ardently. When the menace of Clara's past threatens to tear them apart and tensions mount, will the couple have the courage to fight for the promise of forever?

Listen Again and Again

What did you love best about As You Are?

As a reserved person myself, I loved the characters in As You Are. Corbin and Clara are a believable pair of people who find the courage to love each other despite difficulties.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The entire Jonquil family seems to live and breathe in the story, but Corbin is special. His inner voice is kind and humble and intuitive while he speaks little out loud. He finds himself is some hilarious situations as he tries to gain Clara's good opinion. His steadfast integrity, work ethic, and patience make him the man who is right for Clara and her children.

Which scene was your favorite?

While there are several scenes that made me laugh, I especially enjoyed the scene where Corbin offers to take Clara riding. He finally shares more of himself with the woman who possesses his heart, and he defends her with the courage of a true Jonquil when her former brother-in-law makes a pest of himself.

Any additional comments?

The narrator has a wonderfully rich voice. His chuckle never fails to bring a smile to my face. Jason Tatom offers a touching performance of a heart-warming story.
