From the Start

Walker Family Series, Book 1

De: Melissa Tagg

Narrado por: Courtney Patterson

Kate Walker used to believe in true love and happily ever after. While her own love life may have left her brokenhearted, it hasn't kept her from churning out made-for-TV romance movie screenplays...until a major career slump and a longing to do something meaningful send her running back to her hometown of Maple Valley.

Permanently sidelined by an injury, former NFL quarterback Colton Greene is temporarily hiding out in a friend's hometown to avoid the media and the reminders of all he's lost. Maple Valley seems like the perfect place to learn how to adjust to normal life. The only trouble is he's never really done normal before.

While Kate plays things safe and Colton is all about big risks and grand gestures, they both get what it's like to desperately need direction in life. An unexpected project gives them both a chance to jumpstart their new lives, but old wounds and new dreams are hard to ignore. Starting over wasn't part of the plan, but could it be the best thing that's ever happened to them?

Absolutely great!

It was engaging, sweet, sizzle but no smut, and it felt very rewarding to see the characters’ development throughout the story. You got to know Maple Valley and the Walker family as people and places you’d like to know.

Loved this heartfelt romance!

This story was so good. I love both main characters and the personal growth they both experience. It was one of those reads you feel better after reading.

Beautiful

This audio book was beautiful, sad, funny and a great ending beautifully written can't wait to listen to the rest of the series

Great Story!

I love the way Melissa writes, the wit, the lessons to be reflected upon, twists & turns & how lovable her characters are. Enjoyed every moment listening, can’t stop till the end. I also love Courtney’s different voices. So, soothing. Hope to listen to more of your novels.

Love the story and want to hear more about the family!

Great story! Can't wait to hear more! Happy to know there are two more. On to book 2

Fall in Love with The Walker Family!

I simply LOVE Maple Valley and the Walker family! The opening scenes grabbed me and never let go. Kate and Colton have a highly entertaining meeting. The end is sweet too ❤️
I first read this book in 2016, I was so excited to see it available for audible. I look forward to listening to the rest of the series as they become available.

Cute

Cute, clean story. If you’re looking for sex this isn’t your next choice. Nice break from most of the other books out there.

Good story

Basic romance. Lots of individual work on self, denial, running, ending good. Kinda dull in the feeling of emotion

good easy listening

narrator was good and I really liked the storyline. it was also a plus that they talked about UI and ISU.

Fall favorite

This is a fun book to listen to during the fall- football games, indoor picnics, and pumpkin spice lattes make it super fun and enjoyable! The Christian elements were mixed in well and I enjoyed the character growths. However, much of it was predictable and I struggled to keep up with the many characters introduced at the beginning.
