Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Archer's Voice. Becoming Calder is the first part in a two-part romance series. The conclusion, Finding Eden, is available now.

There is a place in modern-day America with no electricity, no plumbing, and no modern conveniences. In this place there is no room for dreams, no space for self-expression, and no tolerance for ambition. In this place there is a boy with the body of a god and the heart of a warrior. He is strong and faithful and serves his family honorably. But he dares to dream of more.

In this place there is a girl with the face of an angel and a heart full of courage. To her family she is the vision of obedient perfection. But she dares to want that which she has been told can never be hers.

Becoming Calder is the story of good versus evil, fear versus bravery, and the truth that the light of love has always found its way into even the darkest of places.... From the beginning of time, to the end of the world.

My Love for Mia's Stories is Unending

I was pretty blind going into this book and I am pleased to say I LOVED it! It was the perfect mix of drama, intensity and angst - all centered around a beautiful love story.

I was completely enthralled with this story, these characters and the setting. The idea of people aquiescing to the lifestyle of the setting is both fascinating and frightening. It definitely kept me engaged throughout the story with a need to know how it would conclude.

There is some unresolved conflict in the end and I am pleased that I have the next installment in the series, Finding Eden, ready to go.

The narrators did a fabulous job with the alternating POV.

such a great story

loved it I can't wait to hear the next story finding Eden I really hope he finds her.

LOVE IT

Any additional comments?

These books are all outstanding. Wish there were so many more.

Good plot Terrible Male Narrator

This book should at the very least been entirely narrated by Ms. Stark. It was painful listening to Mr. Solerno. He is no Calder.

Very slow start

if it weren't doe for the raving reviews I would have quit after about chapter 2. It took probably 7 chapters before it really grabbed my attention. after that it was a good book though.

Emotionally Gripping Love 😍

I was so engrossed in this poignant story. It not only consumed me but caused me to loose sleep because I couldn't stop listening.
The characters are so memorable and well developed that it's very easy to get emotionally attached and stay interested. Colder, Eden, and sander just capture your ❤ while you root for the to get out of this dysfunctional situation.
I had so many reactions with this book because of all the emotional layers.
I was swooning, anxiety- ridden, heart broken, despondent, and angry.
I should have known what I was getting into because Mia is so skilled at putting her vivid imagination into words.
Everything she writes is captivating poetic bliss.
Jennifer and Anthony did a flawless job portraying these wonderful characters.
I'm just glad the sequel "finding Eden" is also available on audible because I can't wait to devour it as this one left me in a cliffhanger.
Cliffhanger and all this book is still worth a credit of its own.

Gripping

The story is gripping from start to finish. Jennifer Stark brings Eden to life. Jennifer's voice and readings make her a major star. Anthony Haden Solerno's voice was distracting for me. Too bad, this book could have been a favorite of mine.

SLOW Burn Forbidden Love ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow. Mia Sheridan did it again. I've not heard a story like this before dealing with such a controversial topic. Absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend it. This book should be given out to all the people living in compounds that still exist now. You know...just in case.

To sum it up this is a story of two lovers trapped in a cult. They are SO VIRGINAL THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A VIRGIN.


This story is hard to stop listening to so be prepared to get hooked. ;)
