Love the author.

I don’t really like the narrator. Her voice is too whispery. I’ve listened to all three books in the series because I like the story line. However I will have to actively avoid the narrator from now on.

Story lacks dimension and use of senses.

I was surprised how lacking this story was. It was so "topical." In other words, the reader is not asked to use his or her imagination. The five senses are not engaged. It's dull and flat. Just as the characters are. The narration of each character is juvenile. I thought I was reading a young adult book. It's just, well, probably the last book I'll read by this author. I don't understand how some of these manuscripts become published. As readers/listeners lowered our standards that much? There are books you want to never end and then some you want to end immediately. This is a book I wanted to end immediately. I'm glad it was free.

No More Self Publishers, Please

I purchased this book due to wonderful narrator Angela Dawe. The self published author’s own summery was great, however the read did not match the synopsis's in it’s delivery. If you are a fan of this author, then try, author’s Christina Dodd for this same story line/series. Nora Roberts Dream series. These are well written and edited.
I do use the 1.25x speed to match the author’s intent and it helped, but I certainly have no provocation to go and buy books 1,2. based on how this was edited.
Of course Ms Dawe did a wonderful job of narrating this tale, which had so much potential. Her male voices are great as is her foreign accents eg any Scottish read.
Check out Hanna Howell historical romance, Murray series, books 5 & 6 to howl your head of off.
If you are a mystery fan, check out Marcia Clark’s series read by ms Dawe, 5 star reads.

How many times…

How many times will this author tell the same story with different characters. I’ve been trying to listen to a variety of stories, but Carly Phillips books are all the same. All the women are on the pill/clean and the me just got tested. Every book has the same story line.

The story started off by drawing you into a lonely young girl doing everything for her father. She wanted to be on her own and finds her courage to do jut that.
Loved Angela Dawe reading of the book.
Very much enjoyed Carly Phillips books.

ok addition

I liked the narration but I feel like the story was a little weak and a bit underdeveloped. It was nice to get to find out what happened to the lost sister but I just wanted more meat to the story it was all bones.

Family love

I enjoyed the story, sweet, family, love, and family, almost impossible to love by their negative actions again and again. Happy ending.
