Early in her life, Josephine Malone learned the hard way that there was only one person she could love and trust: her grandmother, Lydia Malone. Out of necessity, unconsciously and very successfully, Josephine donned a disguise to keep all others at bay. She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept herself distant. While Josephine was trotting the globe, retired boxer Jake Spear was living in the same small town as Lydia.

Gwendolyn Kidd has met the man of her dreams. He's hot, he's sexy, and what started as a no-names-exchanged night of passion has blossomed into a year and a half-long pleasure fest. Sure, it's a little strange that he only appears in her bed at night, but Gwen is so sure he's the one, she just can't turn him away…. Hawk Delgado knows more about Gwen than she could ever imagine. She's gorgeous, headstrong, and skittish about relationships. But Hawk is facing his own demons, demons that keep him from connecting with anyone.

It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought, until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch to. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man who crouched down and looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive was none other than my ex.

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.” Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true. The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there.

Wow!!! This book is so amazing! I loved it!
This book is so well written and captivating! The characters are well developed and there are so many lovable characters. I enjoyed every minute of it! It was hard to put down. It became a little problem when it was 4 am and I still wanted to keep going. I did take a little break but was right back on it as soon as I woke up. Outstanding book. I wish there were more books like this one.
The narrator did an amazing job bringing the story to life. I felt immersed in the story and all characters came to life.
Olivia is such a wonderful character. Everyone loves her and even though life threw her a curve ball, she was able to find real love and learn that she was missing out on a lot with her uncaring husband.
I fell in love with Ash's sweet and attentive nature. He was beyond perfect for Olivia. And as the story progressed their romance blossomed into something very special.
There is a sweet HEA. No cliffhangers!
I'm looking forward to reading more books by this talented author!

"This audible ROCKS"
Where does Out of the Box Awakening rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It ranks very high up as I also once upon a time read the book. But the audible just brought the story to life for me.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Out of the Box Awakening?
When Olivia gets the call from Todd that his grammy has passed.
Which character – as performed by Triera Holley – was your favorite?
I would have to say Olivia. Although she played each character very well but she was wonderful with Olivia' character
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were various parts that had me laughing out loud. And some parts that made me want to whoop Olivia's ex husbands tush.
Any additional comments?
Fantastic Audible book !!!

Wow...what an amazing book! This is the first book I have read by this author and it definitely won't be my last. This book will hook you from page 1. I couldn't put it down. The narrator was perfect for this. I just can't give this enough stars. If your looking for a book that isn't like every other one out there then I strongly recommend this!

Heartwarming story!
I loved this book! This second chance story is about two mature people with children who are thrown together after her husband leaves her. Olivia and Ash are so perfect together. A sweet story with some sexiness in it. The narrator, Triera Holley did a wonderful job.

Love Multiplied
This is a wonderful story of love lost and gained. Olivia is given the 'opportunity' to come into her own and grab life by the horns when her husband leaves her. Me being the hopeless romantic, before listening, hoped they would get back together, but after an hour into the book I was hoping for anything but that.
I have to say that the author, Jennifer Theriot, did a great job of weaving a feeling of fulfillment and a sense of love around the main and secondary characters. There were a lot of instances to learn as Olivia gained the self-confidence she'd been lacking. The author did a great job at developing Olivia's character and allowing the listener to get to know her.
I enjoyed the fact that this was a love story with mature characters that still had a lot of life to live. I also liked the fact that the author showed as much attention in the love the main characters had for each other as they had for their families and friends. I believe it rounded out the storyline.
I'm so glad I got the audio version of this book because there were so many wonderful surprises, but I'm not going to give them away.
This love story was well written and well rounded. Great job Jennifer Theriot.

Awesome performance!
I will honestly say I was immediately turned off from this book due to the main characters age. I kept listening and oh.my.goodness! So glad I did. Great narration. Awesome story and well worth the credit!

Out of the box
This story is about a late life journey and starting over. The story is well written with some great complex characters! I can't imagine moving someone such a great distance only to end your relationship. What a jerk. Olivia handles this all with such grace I just love her character! I love the song in the narration very nice touch! Great job on narration!

Life as we know it, only much better!
Oh Wow. So maybe I can relate to this book and so I love it. Or maybe I love how messy reality is so neatly interwoven with a wonderful plethora of amazing characters that it feels almost like a fairytale. Certainly I love the natural, day-to-day drama and the quirky, exciting characters that allow the story to flow. I love how, like life, certain moments in the story move so slowly and others whirl by at great speed. The results feel full-of-hope real.
This story is about the awakening of Olivia Peterson. Olivia leaves Texas because of her husband's job demands without realising that the move is a more momentous than she realises. Her children have grown and settled and this time of life is often considered a time to nurture oneself and the relationship with one's partner. Except for Olivia it isn't like that. It starts with being abandoned by her husband, leads to divorce, illness, death and so on. These are the messy realities of life. But along the way Olivia finds her strength and love. Yes her family collapses, but it is reforged into something stronger, more encompassing, more inclusive, more raw and more honest. With each challenge the new bonds with lover, family and friends are challenged and grow infinitely stronger. Gosh! If all of us could be so lucky!!
All I know is that when I am staring 60 squarely in the face, I hope I have a lover like Ashe Harper.
