McCarthy Road

The Lighthearted ollection

De: Katharine E. Hamilton

Narrado por: Meghan Kelly

Kennedy Donovan loved living in the city. But when a mysterious envelope arrives in the mail describing her new inheritance from an estranged uncle, she finds herself in the Alaskan bush country facing more than just snow. Family secrets, life-threatening blizzards, and the potential for love. Does Alaska offer Kennedy more than her life in New York?

Adam Stockton moved to McCarthy, Alaska, at 15 years old. Thanks to Neal Donovan, he’d grown up and adjusted well to the Alaskan frontier. But when Neal’s long-lost niece shows up to claim her inheritance after Neal’s passing, Adam finds himself potentially losing his last tie to Neal as well as his heart.

Can he show Kennedy that life in McCarthy is worth sticking out?

The story that leaves you with warm feelings

This book is a beautiful romantic story. It is a great book to enjoy during long winter evenings with hot chocolate and a warm blanket. The story is very smooth and sweet. There is no drama or violence. This book is about family, appreciation, and romantic love.

The narrator did a superb job. She was great at giving each character their own voices and displaying their emotions. She has made this book even more pleasurable to listen to.

Excellent

To go from the business of the city to the vast wilderness of Alaska, would take some doing, To stay would take magic and love to stay there. Delightful heartwarming story. With excellent narration to enjoy. Well done. Given audio for my voluntary review

McCarthy Road

I really enjoyed this book. Kennedy inherited her uncle's inn. She plans to sell it. The inn is in Alaska and she has a life in New York City. When she goes to Alaska, she finds herself liking it. This causes her to reevaluate her life .I liked Meghan Kelly's narration.

Sweet story

Overall the storyline and the book was good. It was a bit slow at times at other times it amused and at times brought tears; however, the narrator was stilted and hesitant to me me. The flow was almost stilted and boring for the most part almost reminded me of a professor reading from a text book.
If you can get past that, it was an overall sweet story.

Fabulous Story & Narration🎧 Sweet & Delightful!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this fabulous story. It is my first book written Katharine E. Hamilton and definitely not my last, she is a gifted author with a wonderful writing style, she created interesting storylines and characters who are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I loved how natural the story flowed and how her descriptive details takes you right along side the characters to see everything through their eyes. I adored the two lead characters, Kennedy ”Ken” Donovan and Adam Stockton, the secondary are awesome too. Kennedy, a chef in NYC, inherits her Uncle Neal’s Inn in a remote area of Alaska. She did not know what to expect before going there but she found out McCarthy Road is a gravel road and not the safest to travel on. She makes it there to find out the inn is located in rural Alaska surrounded by wilderness. Luckily the people in the small town are friendly and helpful, especially Adam who was friends with her uncle and took care of the Inn after this passing. Kennedy just wanted to check out the place and figure out what she wanted to do with it, which meant most likely selling it. Her stay winds up being longer than planned and she starts to fall in love with the place and the people, especially Adam. She did not know much about her Uncle, who was estranged from the family but in time she learns more about him and who he was. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted and contains a whole lot of heart. This is a sweet and clean romance, there is small town charm, it also shows the challenges of living in remote areas, how people help and look out for each other. Katharine E. Hamilton, thank you for this fabulous story.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Meghan Kelly is a talented narrator and versatile voice artist. She performs the voices for all the characters, gives each their own distinct sound which makes it easy to follow along and tell who is who. She portrays each character with perfection, grasps each persona then takes the role and makes it her own. Her take on Kennedy was spot on, as was her take on Adam. She sets the perfect tone for the story, captures all of the characters emotions and projects them in to her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Fall in love with McCarthy Road

Alaska is a place on my bucket list, and I love to listen to books that take me there. Katharine E Hamilton has taken me to the coldest of places, difficult to get to, but warms my heart. Kennedy is a successful chef in New York. When she receives a bequest from her uncle in Alaska, she takes the time to go to see property. When she arrives, she is taken in by the charm and people, especially Adam. Adam was close to her uncle and took care of the inn. With sparks flying and snow falling, will Kennedy find she wants to stay? Hamilton gives us a beautiful view of Alaska with this small town community. I fell in love all of it! There are a few twists and turns as well that keep the story fresh and exciting. It's a great listen.

Brought to life by the talents of Meghan Kelly, I felt like I was there in the kitchen, cooking with Adam and Kennedy. She has a way of connecting with her characters that make them feel alive and real. Each with a special voice, she had me falling in love and enjoying my afternoon.

Well done...love the life of these characters

This is a cute story. It has elements of surprise and a little danger as well as loving townfolk. Kennedy is the superstar here. She brought her kindness and applied it to this town. Adam has a delightful family and wow does he do a lot! I’m sure it’s normal for him but I am surprised. Alaska wilderness is a different place.

Overall this is an enjoyable story. It’s easy to be drawn into their lives and this town. I did listen in audio. Meghan Kelly did a great job narrating. I love her different voices.

Great book

loved it, what a great storyline, I would truly recommend this book. the narration was wonderful.

Fabulous!

Katharine has written the sweetest romance story that I know! Kennedy was raised in New York and she got word that her Uncle had passed away and left her his property in Alaska. When she got there, she met Adam.
Meghan Kelly is a very talented narrator. She can do the characters with perfection. It is such a delight to listen to her. I couldn’t stop listening to it and didn’t want it to end!

My Two Pennies

Meghan Kelly’s narration gives us an enjoyable listen for our ears while we’re taken to Alaska with Kennedy as she finds out why she was left her Uncle’s inheritance. This community is so welcoming and more like family then neighbors in a rural town. Adam is compassionate and swoon worthy. A lighthearted read that has you smiling continuously throughout the story. The “Ah-Ha” moment we’re presented with is one that is a blend of sadness coupled with understanding. This was a first but definitely not my last read from this author.
