Every Moment with You

Redeeming Love, Book 1

De: J.E. Parker

Narrado por: Curt Bonnem, Meghan Kelly

I've loved Hendrix Cole all my life.

I was seven when I met him. Thirteen when I first kissed him. Sixteen when I gave him my heart. And 18 when he gave me his ring.

Hendrix swore to love me forever.

Instead, he broke my heart. Scarred my soul. Destroyed my entire world.

Six years later, he wants a second chance. Problem is, I don't trust him. Not to mention, I have a secret. One that will destroy us both.

Only two questions remain.... Is redemption beyond our grasp? Or will true love prevail?

Contains mature themes.

Liked the story but...

First time reading or hearing anything by this author. I enjoyed the story for the most part. I had a really hard time with the female narrator. I did not like the voice she used for Maddie. It was hard for me to continue listening, but I wanted to know what happened and how the story÷ would end. I would get frustrated when certain parts of the story didn't play out (like everything that happened after she left for school). I would have rather been part of the story as it happened and not skipping to years later and the characters mentioning what happened in the past. I love the concept of them being in love from a young age. Grand-mama I think was my favorite character. I like how Pops turned it around. I think there could have been so much more story to tell, but that's what makes me keep reading certain authors...when they leave me wanting more! I think I will continue this series by reading it vs audible.

Not my personal favorite…

I am the sort of person who wants to finish a book when they start it. I read the reviews and expected this one to be exciting, funny, and overall great read/listen. Honestly, there is just way too much filler. So much stuff that drags it out and isn’t necessary for the story to be told. Some doesn’t even relate to the story. It was hard to finish. Also, Maddie is way too dramatic of a female lead for me. I don’t enjoy weak female leads who are over emotional and dramatic… and she is one.

I didn’t enjoy the narration, but I really think that’s because of how the book was written. Their voices were good, I just feel like the story made everything a drag. I also felt like a lot of the reactions to some things that happened in the story were unrealistic.

Just my personal opinion, and I don’t want to be rude. Just not one I would listen to again. Could have been a great book with half as much of the “filler” detail and a less dramatic lead female.

Emotional roller coaster

This was such a tearful listen for me, even though the narrations could have been better. Two kids who grew to be each other’s everything and fall deeply in love. For some who have not experienced childhood trauma, their story might be far fetched. As someone who has experienced most of what the two main characters experienced, I can relate to why they handled things the way they did. When you’re that young, you don’t always think things through logically. Give the story a chance and try to put yourself in the character’s shoes and you might enjoy the story more.

Great story

What a great story! Flows well. I’m excited to hear the rest of the series! BBQ

Love the Book, Iffy About the Audiobook

I love this story so very much and the MMC narrator was amazing. Job well done!! 🥰

However, I couldn’t enjoy the FMC chapters because the narrator often got too close to the mic and didn’t sound like they connected with the character or story very well. It’s disappointing because J. E. Parker is one of my top favorite authors of all time and I had high hopes for the audiobook. If the FMC could be read by a different person, I think I would enjoy the audiobook more.

loved it

I loved the phone from the first page to the last. thank you so much for a great job.

Great story; awful female narration

I wanted to continue series, but it is the same narrator and just yuck ! The story and writing is good if you can get past her.

Terrible narration

Story was predictable but good. The narrators killed this for me. I won’t go into great detail but I simply couldn’t finish because of that.

Abused bad boy falls for a cry baby.

Felt like the girl was very selfish and naive. Cried a lot. Traumatic event happened and she let it destroy her self as a social worker herself it’s like get therapy.

Too good

I loved this story. It has good character development and background. Very heart wrenching in some areas. Found myself holding my breath at a couple points. Very happy with this one.
