Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Karen Kingsbury comes a new book featuring everyone's favorite family - the Baxters.

From the day they met, John and Elizabeth were destined to fall in love. Their whirlwind romance started when they were young college students and lasted nearly 30 years - until Elizabeth died of cancer.

So when John Baxter is asked to relive his long-ago love story with Elizabeth for his grandson Cole's heritage project, he's not sure he can do it. The sadness might simply be too great. But he agrees and allows his heart and soul to go places they haven't gone in decades. Back to the breathless first moments, but also to the secret heartbreak that brought John and Elizabeth together.

At the same time, Baxter family friend Cody Coleman is working through the breakup of his complicated relationship with Andi Ellison. He is determined to move on when a chance sighting changes his plans - and heart. Can Cody convince Andi to give their love another try, or is it time for them to say good-bye for good?

As school comes to an end, Cole presents his report on the love story between his grandparents John and Elizabeth Baxter. It is a tale that touches the hearts of the entire family and one that causes Cole to better understand his own beginning.

Whether you're meeting the Baxter family for the first time or finding them all over again, Love Story will stir your heart and remind you of the generational impact of love and the eternal bond of family.

The reader’s voice is horrible

I love my audio books but I honestly couldn’t finish this book cause I couldn’t stand listening to this automaton’s voice. I really don’t think this was a human reading the book. :/ This was truly the worst audible book I’ve ever heard. I’ll try reading it :/

loved this book

i knew before i read it that i would fall in love with it. i always do with the Baxyters. i just didn't know how much. as always, well written and I felt as if i were there watching the story play out. Even more so because it was audio. a must read.

Great Book!!!

I loved the book. I have read some other books on the Baxter family. I am definitely going to finish the rest of them now. I really thought this one the best so far, however I think I always say that after each story.

Not a big fan an hour in and I was bored

boring book expected more couldn't finish it. voices were robotic and story jumped around too muvh.

Not for me

Wish I had known this was religiously themed. I would not have purchased the story.

Love Story

Karen is such an awesome writer and brings you right in. The story lines are so real. I find myself closer to God with every book. Love Karen and the Baxter’s!

Excellent!

Karen Kingsbury never fails to come
through in her books. I absolutely love all of her books and this was no exception.

Terrible narration by male narrator

The story line was good, but the narration was robotic, which made trying to listen awful. I restarted the Story atleast 6 times. Karen Kingsbury is a wonderful author, so I would recommend buying the book instead of listening to this audible version.

Sweet story

I found myself sweat right into the story and inspired to look at my own life. I really enjoyed it. I found myself in tears, and laughing as I could put myself in their shoes.

Beautiful Story

It was fun to get the background story and to hear the continuation of other love stories.

Lovely Story

I enjoyed this well narrated book. The story held my attention the whole time and I didn’t want it to finish! Thank you once again Karen Kingsbury.

A story full of grace

A wonderful reminder that even when we mess up, God is there with us, loving us and helping us through, and providing us with hope and so many blessings.

Brilliant Book

Engaging and heartwarming, as we've come to expect from Karen Kingsbury. A continuation of the wonderful stories of the Baxter family and the Flannigans and Cody Coleman. Great love stories and family values. I was gripped throughout.
