Good Story

I really enjoyed the story line. I struggled a little with the narrator. Character voices were sometimes hard to differentiate and stumbled across several words. overall a good book
I look forward to reading/listening to the entires series!

such a touching beautiful story

I loved this book so had to take a chance on the audio.
Sam a single dad moves away from his home to start over with his daughter in a small town of Serendipity.
What he wasn't planning on was the woman across the street stealing his heart.
The problem is she isn't letting her walls down she is too scared to and Sam doesn't understand why.
Finally, she lets him in and lets him know her secret.
She is HIV positive, her family has all but disowned her.
Darcy did an amazing job with the voices and the story on this one. I felt like I was there on the sidelines or maybe even there next door neighbor rooting them on telling them to reach for each other.
A beautiful story so worth the read and listen

Hot mess? Hot read (or listen)!!!!!!!!!

First off I was given the credit to listen to this book for free with the knowledge I would give an honest review! I will be honest with you it helped that I am and always will be a fan of this amazing writer! But, with that said I am also not afraid to leave a true and honest opinion about what I read and listen too! This woman never ceases to amaze me with what she writes! I have read 2 books in her serendipity series and this makes #3. Honestly this one has been the best of them all. Not only was this a taboo subject but I feel like she nailed all the feels that come with this subject. I don’t think there’s many people in this world that haven’t been impacted or watched someone impacted by this subject, it was family for me and also a friend from many years ago! It brought back many feels. I promise you will not regret any money spent on any one of the books in this series nor on this one! 💙💙💙 oh the men of serendipity!

Loved it

Love Anne's books and this audio book was brought to life by her narrator. Listening to it was a joy.
