Missing Johanna Parker

Lisa Wingate is a favorite writer. Her books are a joy to the senses and wholesome as well. I had a hard time with Firefly Island in the audible version from the start, however. The narrator's odd enunciations of word patterns made it difficult for me to fully enjoy what is usually a feast of descriptive language. For example: "ooooold growthtrees, instead of "old-growth trees". I realized how much I missed Johanna Parker's beautiful reading of Lisa Wingate's other books.

My hope is that this narrator is a beginner and will improve with practice, but this book was made an exercise in trying not to miss the point.

Suspense until the very end

Love the twist of romance, suspense, mystery and curiosity intertwined throughout! Perfect go-getter woman learning how to still hold her own, make a difference in the world, while still falling in love and creating a family!

Another great fro Lisa Wingate

Lisa Wingate did it again! Intrigue, love, suspense, and the love of God all intertwined!

Love a good mystery!

Story, just enough drama, and a mystery included
Good read.. I enjoyed.. I hope you do too

A darling little read

Love a good beach read that has a bit of mystery and moving story line. I love how there is a touch of Gods grace in this book as well. Such a fun little read

Good Story

I was a little disappointed the story ended a little abruptly. we will see if it is cinr8nued at all in the fourth book of the series.

Good book

I enjoyed the story line but think Me Winggate's style has improved throu her latest books

LOVED THE STORY....but....

This was an excellent story, but it was very wordy! It's hard to explain, but there were parts that were very slow due to the fluff in thoughts and description of things. It was certainly inspirational but I don't think it was overdone in that department. Had there been an ounce more however, it would have ended the book for me. I just think that Lisa Wingate needs to add more suspense/action to her stories OR condense the hours of narration.

As for Meredith Orlow, I enjoyed her narration talents. One of my pet peeves is when narrators do a child's voice. So many do a terrible job of reflecting age of children but IMO Meredith Orlow does an extraordinary job in this story.

With all of that being said, I would still spend a credit on this book.

It kept me listening.

The other books were better but it did keep me listening. I want to know what happened to the 2nd wife and child. .
