Narrado por: Lili Dubuque

After two failed marriages and countless relationships, Sandra Holiday thinks she's met the man to end her years of less than perfect choices; choices that not only derailed her travel-related career plans but also left her single and broke.

Carson Holiday, a Las Vegas country crooner with swoon-inducing good looks, spent his adult life pursuing a recording contract and love, never holding on to either. After 18 years, he drops back into Sandra's life, reigniting an attraction he can't deny.

When Carson reappears, Sandra must choose again. Only this time, nothing's as it seems. A secret admirer, a redheaded stalker, and an eccentric millionaire throw her on a dangerous path, with Carson her only truth. As life confronts her with yet another turning point, will her decisions find her eternally sleeping with the lights on or will she finally discover a way to turn them off?

It was an okay listen

Another book filled with mystery, death and murder with some hot romance. I enjoyed the mystery, it has one big surprise that has you rethinking what you read. The book is filled with mystery, fun characters you can relate to. I thought it had a great plot, with meaning. I really like the age of the characters.


I thought the narration was okay, there is background noise, no repeating of words, she does drag out her words which makes it hard to listen to. Her character voices are nice, you know who is talking and what they are feeling. It was an enjoyable listen but felt off a little. Her male and female voices are very nice, however I can’t say she gave true emotions since her words dragged. All in all it was an enjoyable listen but just needs some work.


I thought the author did a good job pulling the reader in, giving a believable story, with great characters. Was a good plot and did make me smile a few times. I enjoyed the shocking deaths and near deaths, The romance was very touching and nice. The author made me smiles a few times.

Intriguing and Unpredictable!

This was my first Brenda Whiteside's book. Sandra and Carson's story has romance, suspense, and intrigue, filled with unpredictable twists and turns. Lili Dubuque did a great job with the narration.

Unexpected twists

I enjoyed this book and found it well written. I liked the characters and found them very interesting and also loved the storyline. Lots of twists made the story enjoyable to listen to. Lily is a great narrator.

Utterly delightful!!

So not your typical novel!

I fell in love with the characters immediately as they were so fun and relatable.

The story was especially pleasing and took so many unexpected turns to my utter surprise and delight.

A definite must read!

Big surprise

This author has more imagination than most author's. well written plot and what a plot. Only one author has done this to me before. Then in the middle of the book big surprise and I almost went to the beginning to read the book with the new knowledge.
This time awesome. made me laugh. you got me.
The characters are well created some strange some kind of awkward and little crazy.
Great love story with mystery. at times you don't know who to trust or just don't trust anyone. Even the heroines brother in law is kind of suspicious.

My First Book By This Author

This is my first book by this author, I've never read or listened to anything by her before. The blurb sounded interesting and a story about an older woman finding love for a change appealed so I decided to give it a go, I'm so glad I did.

I enjoyed listening to this story about Sandra Holliday, the heroine and her romantic interest in two very different men. She's finally finding herself, after a lifetime some mistakes and a lifetime of searching, she's 50 now so hopefully, her mistakes are behind her. The story had lots of twists and turns some of which I didn't see coming which added to my enjoyment of the story as I do like to be surprised. Who would win her heart, Wesley or Carson or would she choose neither, and what about the redhead?

The author did a good job with the characters they were well-drawn and interesting. Sandra's a complex character and I didn't know which way she would go but learning about her failed marriages and romantic relationships, as well as her feelings for her mother and sister added to the story. To make her choices even harder Carson, her ex came back into her life and the attraction between them is still strong will Sandra choose him? You will just have to listen to this one yourself to find out about the stalker, the millionaire and the ex because I'm not giving anything away.

The narration is well done by Lili Dubuque her characterisations were good.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

Unexpected Twists!

Brenda Whiteside impressed me with Sleeping with the Lights On. I found the characters to have depth and dimension. I loved the romance and mystery of this book too. The ages of the characters also appealed to me. Lili Dubuque was impeccable with her performance of bringing the characters to life. She gave them distinguishable voices, and I could hear exactly who was speaking. Without giving away spoilers, I hadn't guessed the stalker, and was glad with Sandra's decision in the end.

strangely intriguing

One paramour is crazy obsessed and Sandra wss emotionally immature (for 50!!!) for most of the story going through men a d relationships like used tissues! She drifts through life with purpose. It takes a lot for Sandra to grow up and find her happy place a d future. I tri4to stop listening, but I had to see where the train wreck known as Sandra ended up. The narrator was good. I voluntarily listened to a free copy and am giving an honest review.

Great twist

Well that was a surprise, I was not expecting that twist. Good strong characters with good chemistry. Great storyline with lots going on to keep you entertained. Great narration from Lili.
