Critic reviews

"Becky Barker shows us once again her great gift for combining intrigue with true love. This book is tightly-crafted with plot twists and turns, carefully balanced with love and humor." ( Affaire de Coeur Review Magazine)

An engaging story

The author gives us once again a story that engages you from the start.
Liana Banner is an interior designer living in NYC. But when she gets ill, she goes back home to Ohio. The farm next to her parents has a pond she has always loved and while skinny dipping, realizes someone watching her. The new owner of the neighboring farm, Nate Harden. What starts out as trespassing develops into attraction and much more.
Throw in some suspense, and a man who refuses to accept love since he is caring a great deal of “pain, anger and rejection” from a difficult youth, and you have a story that will keep you entertained.
On an aside, the narrator, Alexandra Haag, does a good job.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book that was written by Becky Barker and narrated by Alexandra Haag. When Liana Banner is diagnosed with mono, she is forced to leave her high pressure job in New York and spend the summer in Ohio on her family’s farm. Nate Harden didn't know what to make of the trespasser skinny-dipping in his pond. With her silvery hair and sapphire eyes, she reminded him of a fairy nymph. Soon the two of them would be deeply involved in a secret and even more deeply in love.

The narrator Alexandra Haag did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to in one sitting and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Sweet and sexy!

Liana Banners is back home, recuperating from the pneumonia and mononucleosis she developed after months and months of 16-hour days. She was literally killing herself and is living with her parents until she's fully recovered. Nate Harden is the New York business tycoon who bought the property next door to the Banners, and he makes an unexpected appearance. Liana's relaxing by skinny dipping in the artesian springs, when a voice intrudes upon her reverie and it's none other than the mysterious person who is moving next door. We slowly come to know Nate's history and connection to the property as the story unfolds. It's a sad history that is a fairly well-known secret, but the facts have been eating at Nate for years. His family was ostracized for reasons he didn't understand and the treatment from his stepfather that he endured for years has jaded him. He's consumed by the idea that he can't get married, can't have children based on his painful past. When Liana tries to show him that he's worthy of love, he pushes her away. I really wanted to slap him because he was so stubborn and negative, but learning more about his past makes everything clearer. All along, someone is lurking in the background, trying to destroy Nate's property and life. The mystery adds another layer to the story but, once solved, frees him to enjoy the future. The ending is heartwarming and the epilogue is perfection. The narration is wonderfully done by Alexandra Haag, with a clear and well-modulated voice she brings the characters to life! 

Sweet heartwarming romance

Living in Ohio, I just loved all the references to my home. This book had romance, as well as a good story. I loved that it was easy to follow and left no loose ends. I look forward to more books or even a potential series.

Good Book.

It was good book. Easy to listen to. New narrator to me that I truly enjoyed!
