Narrado por: Eva Kaminsky

A heartwarming novel about family, friendship, and finding your roots from RITA® winner M. Malone. The first book in a USA Today best-selling series. More than 100,000 copies sold!

Ridley Wells is done with men.

All she wants is to focus on her dream of opening her own nursery, but she has the opposite of a green thumb when it comes to love. She’s always been the “good twin” who played by all the rules waiting for Prince Charming to show up. Instead she is currently in hiding from her latest case of bad judgment.

So when there’s a teeny tiny case of mistaken identity, for once she decides to do the “wrong” thing.

Starting over was supposed to be simple, but Mr. Wrong turns out to be a grumpy single-dad with two highly energetic little boys. She was supposed to disappear and start a new life, but suddenly she’s wrapped up in a small town that feels more like home than any place she’s ever been, and walking in her sister’s shoes feels more like living than hiding in plain sight. Between two adorable kids and their misunderstood and distrusting father, Ridley isn’t sure who will steal her heart first. But one thing is clear, love can never bloom in the midst of lies.

And when her past comes for her, she can only hope her newfound roots are strong enough to hold her down.

Excellent Book

I must admit, I have a lot of book's and this one kept my interest until the end, I listened to it in one day, I rated it no 5 because I couldn't find anything I didn't like in the book, I got it at a special price, I was kind of shocked that it was that good for $4.95, if you don't have it get it.

Nice story

Kind of predictable but Entertaining nevertheless. I enjoyed the Alexander's and would like to know more about them. I'll get then next book in line.

Enjoyable and entertaining. I really liked it

I really did enjoy this story a lot. It was a fun read/listen. I liked the heroine, Ridley a lot. She was sweet and just perfect for our hero Jackson.

The chemistry between them was very good. It was real and genuine, not forced and they didn't jump in to bed the minute they met each other. YAY for that. They got to know each other and the attraction grew. There is a couple of sex scenes in this book but it is NOT erotica. It's a little hot and steamy but not over the top at all. (I read some reviews that said this book was all about the sex and it was erotica. This is not true. Just want to clear that up for anyone wondering).

The story line and plot was great. There was a little mystery thrown in. Lots and lots of dialogue, great dialogue. The story flowed very nicely and was easy to follow along. Love all the secondary characters and am looking forward to the next book.

As for the narration, I thought Eva Kaminsky did a very good job. She has a very nice reading voice, I think she did a decent job on the men's voices (she could make them a little deeper and it would be even better). Pretty much everyone had their own distinct voice. All in all she did a really good job.

This is a great whispersync deal!

Good story

This was a good listen, has all my required elements in a good story; love steamy scenes, mystery, and adventure.

Nice Spicy Hot Intrigue Romance-Yes!

What made the experience of listening to One More Day the most enjoyable?

Publisher's Summary

From national best-selling author M. Malone comes a tale about sisterhood, finding your place and the redemptive power of love. Get drawn into the magic in the newest installment of The Alexanders. Because in the Alexander family, if we love you then you're one of us.

Ridley Wells has no idea what to do with her life now that she's graduated from college. But when a friend is murdered and her apartment is trashed, she runs to the only person she trusts, her twin sister. No one will think to look for her in the rinky-dink Virginia town of New Haven. Of course, her luck lands her passed out in the grass in front of resident badboy and music producer Jackson Alexander.

Then she realizes Raina's out of the country and she has nowhere else to go. So when the handsome producer with the platinum smile mistakes her for her sister, she gets an idea..... Where better to hide than in plain sight?
A wonderful book to start to see new series. This will definitely be high on my list of books to buy once I have finished reading the rest of the books I have already purchased!

My review:

Ridley is trying to get into her twin sisters house after running from some danger in Florida.
She is hot, tired and stressed out. By the time she reaches her sisters house and punches in the password to shut down the home security system. It doesn't work, she is at her wits end.

She sees a mirage of sorts and goes over to investigate it, colorful fish and refreshing water. She reaches over and begins to splash water on her face and then faints from exhaustion.

Fortunately the neighbors two young boys notice her and run for help. It is then that she is mistaken for her twin sister and welcomed into her neighbors home (Jackson) to stay until they can get the security code figured out – it is Memorial Day weekend so she ends up staying for several days.

This sweet but naughty romance is held together by a medium storyline. It is not that strong, but it is not weak by any means.

P.I.'s – investigating the death of her father, trying to make contact with her supermodel sister who is in Australia – there is just barely enough intrigue to keep the story interesting and together.

Of course, I'm always a sap for a widowed husband with young children.



Notes: Mature themes and a few instances of strong language

Credit worthy/$ : I got this for $1.99 on a promotion for series beginning. I will do plan to get the others later on. It is creditworthy and $ worthy as well
