Chesapeake Diaries Series #2

By: Mariah Stewart

Narrated by: Xe Sands

Dallas MacGregor is living the Hollywood dream. At thirtysomething, she's an award-winning actress beloved by the public and bound for even bigger success. But when her soon-to-be-ex-husband, producer Emilio Baird, is caught in a sex scandal, Dallas's charmed life turns tabloid nightmare. Determined to shield her young son, Cody, from the ugly uproar, Dallas seeks refuge in sleepy St. Dennis, Maryland-the Chesapeake Bay town where her happiest childhood days were spent.

Reunited with her boisterous great-aunt, Dallas wants nothing more than to leave her Hollywood days behind. And when she crosses paths with local veterinarian Grant Wyler, her high school summer love, she finds he's everything she remembers, and more. But Dallas's promising new life takes a troubling turn when the unimaginable happens and she finds herself living a mother's worst nightmare-and Emilio storms into St. Dennis to save the day, along with his damaged career. Trapped in the unwanted glare of the limelight once again, Dallas discovers that it's coolheaded Grant who is willing to risk everything to protect her and her son, and to secure the future they were always meant to share.

Critic reviews

"The town and townspeople of St. Dennis, MD, come vividly to life under Stewart's skillful hands. The pace is gentle, but the emotions are complex in this touching charmer." ( Romantic Times)

A wonderful story, and a great escape!

This author/ narrator combination joins to create the perfect story to provide a much-needed escape from the stress these days. I love the town and its inhabitants, and if it had to end, it ended just right! I will listen to more audiobooks by this author/narrator!

True Love

Such a wonderful story of generations of family and young love that stands the test of time!!!!!!

Good story

Good story and nice series and I love the narrator.
I like the authors style.

Needs Some diversity

While I enjoyed the characters introduced in the 2nd book of this series, I was disappointed that NOT one person in St. Dennis appears to be anything but white. Does the author really envision any small town in the south without any brown or black folks? No native Americans? No recent immigrants? Marish, please broaden your horizons.

Decent listen

It was a sweet story. Dragged a bit in some places but I don’t regret the listen and I finished it.
