If you wanted only one night, would you take a chance on a man who wanted forever?

Rose O'Brian wants to spice up her love life, and Jack Winston seems like the answer. Sexy, funny, and with a killer smile, Jack is every woman's fantasy. All she wants is one night of passion, nothing more.

Emotionally scared, she's never believed in happily ever afters. But for the first time she's met a man who makes her want to open her heart, to dream of love. When Rose's past rears its ugly head, can she finally let go and overcome the hurt? Can Jack convince her to take a chance and embrace a future with him? Can he show her that love is there if she will only reach out and take it?

Great story, but narration could have been better.

What made the experience of listening to If I Loved You the most enjoyable?

The story kept me engaged and eager to listen to more.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was very enjoyable. This was my first experience with Mary J. Williams books and I will definitely be looking for the next books to see what is going on with the side characters.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

For me, the performance was very disappointing. Ms. Robinson did little more than just read the book. There was no differentiation between characters, not even male vs. female. At one point you could here something drop in the recording studio. There were places where sentences or parts of sentences were repeated. Some of the fault was obviously with the editing.

Any additional comments?

There were obvious problems with the performance, but the story was so strong that they really didn't bother me too much.

Story is engaging...

The story is good and holds the interest of the reader. The narrator was ok, and the production quality was ok as well. There were places where sentences were repeated twice, and places where the recording quality dropped off into ‘tinny-sounding.’

If you can see and listen past these issues, the story is good. Ms. Williams touches upon themes of abuse and acceptance; aloneness and community; sex versus love; and blame and consequences. The growth arc of the female protagonist is a wonderful thing to behold. There is a lot of good here, for those who can listen beyond the narrator.

Glad I listened to this!

I’m so glad I listened to this audio! I love this story except for Rose’ demonic aunt for being evil
to Rose. Now poor Rose stopped believing in love.

Jack and roses story

Sweet story!

This is a sweet romance with a little mystery thrown in. I really enjoyed the story line, but was a little disappointed with the narrator. This is the first in the series and I will surely listen to the other 2 books.
