Take a Chance on Me

By: Susan May Warren

Narrated by: Carol Monda

Darek Christiansen is almost a dream bachelor - oldest son in the large Christiansen clan, heir to their historic Evergreen Lake Resort, and doting father. But he's also wounded and angry since the tragic death of his wife, Felicity. No woman in Deep Haven dares come near. New assistant county attorney Ivy Madison simply doesn't know any better when she bids on Darek at the charity auction. Nor does she know that when she crafted a plea bargain three years ago to keep Jensen Atwood out of jail and in Deep Haven fulfilling community service, she was releasing the man responsible for Felicity's death.

All Ivy knows is that the Christiansens feel like the family she's always longed for. And once she gets past Darek's tough exterior, she finds a man she could spend the rest of her life with. Which scares her almost as much as Darek learning of her involvement in his wife's case. Caught between new love and old grudges, Darek must decide if he can set aside the past for a future with Ivy - a future more and more at risk as an approaching wildfire threatens to wipe out the Christiansen resort and Deep Haven itself.

Uplifting heart tugging story of forgiveness

Enjoyable story about over coming pain, forgiveness, and seeing through the heavy smoke of regret. Inspiring and uplifting as the story weaves in the concepts of grace and mercy. The characters are relatable, the story true to life. The narrator did a fine job. It did take getting used to the narrator attempting a male voice. But you get used to it. Susan May Warren is a master story teller.

Inspirational
