Barefoot at Moonrise

Barefoot Bay Timeless, Book 2

De: Roxanne St. Claire

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

As a firefighter, Captain Ken Cavanaugh knows his way around dangerous situations - but he'd rather run into a burning building than help plan his 25th high school reunion in Barefoot Bay. Unfortunately, it's his best chance of finally putting things right with Beth Endicott two and a half decades after they ended so badly. But the instant they see each other again, the years blow away like ashes in the heat of their combustible chemistry. For one single night, they let their incendiary passion consume them...but in the morning, they're still left with the smoldering wreckage of a relationship that ended in tragedy.

Raised under the thumb of a rich and controlling man, Beth has spent her adult years craving freedom. Now that she's finally managed to carve out an independent life, is she ready to risk her heart on the first man she ever loved - a man who blames her family for his father's death? With so much painful history between them, Beth can't see a way to have a future with Ken. But one stunning surprise will turn everything they ever believed upside down, and send them straight into each other's arms.

Excellent Second Book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend the series. I like it when an author chooses to write about a set of adults who are not young and fresh out of high school or college. There are so many books out there about them. There are also too many about older men and younger women. But when two adults who have many life experiences under their belts find true love it is a refreshing change.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked all of them. I can't pick any one that stood out.

Which scene was your favorite?

I did not have a favorite although I liked the scenes when the hero was chastising himself for not doing what he should have done in high school and taking so long to realize what he should have done.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No really. the book flowed along nicely and even though it was a continuation of book 1 it was a stand alone all on it's own. You could listen to this book without having to listen to the first one because there was enough detail to help you understand what was going on without it being overwhelming.

Any additional comments?

I got this book via audiobook boom.

Barefoot at moonrise

This was a good romance of the modern world. It is about a family that kept secrets about the past.

What did you like best about Barefoot at Moonrise? What did you like least?

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. I've read and enjoyed books by Ms. St. Claire previously. As I write these words, however, I am less than an hour into the story, and I do not think I can go on. Romance writers are taught that capturing the reader's attention and interest early on are key, but I could not care less about the characters in Barefoot at Moonrise. As the story opens, these "older" characters are at a high school reunion. Beth, our heroine, is an ANCIENT (!) 40, and our "silver-haired" hero, Ken is 42 or 43.. Beth is adamant that she will have nothing to do with the man who loved her and then broke her heart in high school, yet just a few pages later (literally just a few minutes on the audio recording), they are engaged in a graphic sexual encounter in a fairly public location. Yawn. Having read the book description, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that she gets pregnant even though she is sure that she can't. And after a few more displays of sexual calisthenics, they'll work out all their past resentments and decided to live happily ever after. I'll come back and edit this review if I start feeling guilty, finish the book, and discover I've guessed incorrectly or have somehow or other come to care for the characters. First contact, however, left me totally un-enamored.

Barefoot at Moonrise

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes.It was an entertaining book.I like well written second chance books, and I especially enjoyed it being about an older couple. With mature characters the dynamics is different and the possibilities are vast.

Did Barefoot at Moonrise inspire you to do anything?

Communicate with my partner, believe in yourself and your partner. compromise and give 100% to make the relationship work so there would be no regrets.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the second book in the Barefoot Bay Timeless series written by Roxanne St. Claire and narrated by B.J. Harrison. As a firefighter, Captain Ken Cavanaugh knows his way around dangerous situations - but he'd rather run into a burning building than help plan his 25th high school reunion in Barefoot Bay. Unfortunately, it's his best chance of finally putting things right with Beth Endicott two and a half decades after they ended so badly. But the instant they see each other again, the years blow away like ashes in the heat of their combustible chemistry. For one single night, they let their incendiary passion consume them...but in the morning, they're still left with the smoldering wreckage of a relationship that ended in tragedy.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises.

The narrator B.J. Harrison did a wonderful job with this book. He did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.
