A Pleasurable Listen
I enjoyed all three audiobooks in this series (Love Comes Softly, Love's Enduring Promise and Love's Long Journey) and hope the same narrator will continue in this series. I found her voice quite easy to listen to and especially appreciated her differnt voices for different characters.
The best way I can describe this book (and the whole series for that matter) would be the feminine and Christian equivalent of many Louis L'Amour novels. With vivid descriptions of life on the frontier - I came away with a deep appreciation for women's contribution to frontier life survival and for the value of faith in each character's lives.

Good story, narrator not my favorite.
I really wish there was an option to listen to this book from a different narrator. It takes a lot for me to complain but the wet mouth sounds almost ruined it for me. I have always loved this series and it bums me out to have a negative experience with it. If I am listening with my headphones, it is absolutely awful. I have to put my phone on speaker to listen and it’s still gross but not as bad. 5 stars for the book, 1 for the narrator.

If you could sum up Love's Enduring Promise in three words, what would they be?
Typical Janette Oke
What did you like best about this story?
The underlying lessons on love
Which scene was your favorite?
They are all good
Who was the most memorable character of Love's Enduring Promise and why?
Marty
Any additional comments?
I've read all of Love Comes Softly; I've watched the whole series on DVD. Now that I am visually impaired, Audio Books are truly a blessing.
