In Love with a Rebel

A Forced Proximity/ Marriage of Convenience Romance

De: Ginny Sterling

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A ranch in Wyoming becomes the backdrop for a heartwarming love story, where wounded heroes and strong women form a makeshift family.


A new beginning was the ultimate nightmare for this proud, wounded soldier.

Max Collins had always wanted to leave Afghanistan – just not on a stretcher. A severe injury, a frightened hope, and life-threatening mistake sent him careening on a one-way trip to the opposite side of the world, facing a ghost from his past. Now, in the middle of nowhere, attempting to pick back up the pieces of his life, Max is knocked down once more… by the most frustrating woman, Daphne.

Changing the rules combined with a forced truce between (fr)enemies…

Daphne always played by her own rules and never expected a camping trip to be permanent. Now, settled in Wyoming among the mountains and trees, a small-town life amidst the peace and tranquility seemed like heaven… until a simple accident had some grumpy, handsome man yelling at her publicly.

What happens when you need help from the one person you despise?

... And did he really expect her to stick around as his wife?

A Wonderful Story Including an Injured Soldier

The love between the army buddies was heart warming, and gut wrenching. Jake performed an action which he hated to take, but would save the life of his dear friend, Max. Max‘s anguish in the hospital could only be overcome by the caring Daphne. Although their initial meeting was unusual, their patience and understanding with each other overcame any issues they had. What a lovely story of kindness and empathy for another individual who is hurting and desperate. This is a beautiful story by Ginny Sterling. I have enjoyed every book I’ve listened to via audiobook, they are wonderful! As a sidenote, I’m not a big fan of virtual readers because the distinction between voices sometimes is not very clear. I’ve had to go back when listening to a story just to figure out who is supposed to be talking at the time.

selfless love

liked the relationships between Jill and Houghton, Daphne and Max, and the brotherly love of Ortega and Max. I DON'T like the virtual voice at all. inflections are wrong, just can't get into it at all.

didn't like the voice

voice is definitely computerized no emotion and I have a hard time telling the difference between caricatures are
