Story4.5 out of 5 stars 404
At eighteen, Lorelei Pratchett couldn't wait to get out of her hometown. Twelve years later, her Hollywood dreams have fizzled and she's back - temporarily, she thinks. Though she throws herself into saving the old theater and starting a baking business, small towns have long memories, and Lorelei's wild past still haunts her. It doesn't help that her ex-boyfriend, Spencer Boyd, is even hotter, smarter, and more distracting than before.

Working the graveyard shift as a waitress, single mother Jessie Mann has no time to waste on a Texan with big dreams and a skinny wallet. And that’s just what she sees when Jack Morrison ambles into the diner where she works. After a childhood of financial instability, Jessie swore she’d do better by her son.

Publisher's Summary
Sometimes the next best thing is what you’ve been looking for all along….
Beth Chandler has spent her whole life pleasing others. She went to law school to make her grandparents happy. She agreed to marry her workaholic boyfriend, Lucas, to make him happy. And, despite her fear of boats, she took a ferry to see Lucas’s parents just to make them happy.
While suffering through a panic attack on the ferry, Beth meets a tall, sexy stranger who talks her down from her fear - and makes her heart flutter in the process. Soon, she has a new reason to panic: her gorgeous, blue-eyed rescuer is Lucas’s brother, Joe. But could she ever leave her fiancé for his own brother…even if Lucas is more focused on making partner than on making their relationship work…and even if Joe turns out to be everything she never knew she wanted?

Being fully alive!
As this story concludes, the song lyrics: ..."Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all" come to mind. A beautiful story in a beautiful setting with a mix of people who want to enjoy the beauty of life and deep human connections, while interacting with those who haven't yet discovered that vision of life.
Love the idea that sometimes life can get messy on the way to wonderful. Just cherish the gifts, be true to yourself, be as kind as you can - and let the rest take care of itself. A relationship that gives both people room to be themselves is of the essence. This story is about being fully alive. You'll be glad you spent some time here!

Narrator ruined this book
Would you try another book from Terri Osburn and/or Amy Rubinate?
Terri Osburn - yes, if it was narrated by someone else.
How could the performance have been better?
I actually thought it was Siri from the iPhone at first... and then assumed it was a computer program. I don't even know how the narrator gets her voice to sound so monotone and computer-like! I couldn't get past it - the only reason I was able to finish the book is because I really liked the story. From now on, I'll ALWAYS play the audio sample before I purchase.

A Donut of a Romance
Like having a donut instead of whole grain toast for breakfast, sometimes it's fun listening to a light hearted (but not mind-numbing) romantic drama. Yes, some things were obvious from the beginning and the end was not a huge surprise. However the island setting, humor, and a variety of supporting characters including a lovable dog made "Meant to Be" an enjoyable escape from reality.
