Southern Exposures

Family Reunion - Wisdom of the Ancestors, Book 1

De: Ann Jeffries

Narrado por: Kelley Hazen

Law school student Vivian Lynn Alexander could no longer fight the undeniable truth that she had to end her three-year love affair with her college sweetheart Carlton Andrews to have the career as a lawyer she dreamed about. Nor could she deny a growing interracial passion that she felt for former basketball icon Chuck Montgomery...that is, until she met his best friend Derrick “Dunk and Jam” Jackson, who was an even bigger star than Chuck.

Both medical doctors now, Chuck and Derrick find that they have no medical skills to keep them both from falling hard for the attractive, young Georgetown law student.

Kenneth and Benjamin Alexander are brother and best friends, but as different as night and day. Kenneth, the older, the cool, calm and collected president of his San Francisco-based telecommunications company and Benjamin, the dashing young US Air Force jet fighter pilot, stationed in San Diego.

Yet, they came to the same conclusion: They were both falling in love with the same woman - the beautiful and alluring JeNelle Towson, owner of Insights, a Santa Barbara emporium of style and grace.

Despite their individual and desperate problems, the three of the five Alexander siblings rally at perilous risk to themselves and others they care about when everything is on the line and the weight on all of them is the greatest. Two is company, but three is a family.

An Awesome Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it fun. These books are based on family and friends and its can be uplifting listening at times, heart breaking at other times and sometimes you just find yourself laughing out loud and you have to back it up because you missed something. The interesting and intriguing characters keep you listening, wondering what unexpected twist will happen next. It's very enjoyable and I'll have to check out more books from this series.

Family is everything

What an incredible start to the Family Reunion - The Wisdom of the Ancestors series. This book focuses on the lives and loves of three siblings, Vivian, Benjamin, and Kenneth.

Ann Jeffries has certainly woven an intricate tale. I love how the stories from each of the family members fit together and how smoothly things flow. I’m looking forward to hearing more about this incredible family.

Kelley Hazen is the perfect narrator for this book, and the series. There are so many different characters, each with their own unique personalities, and Ms. Hazen handles them all like a pro.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Love the story

I was given a copy of Protective Instincts and loved it so much that I had to listen to Southern Exposures so I would know the beginning of the family saga. I always enjoy Kelley Hazen's performances and have found some great authors by picking books she has narrated.

Awesome

This was one special story. Ending a romance to pursue a law career leaves Vivian no choice. The Narrator helps you get caught up in her life story. Enjoyable.

Great Listen

This was a really long one, so at first I was skeptical. However, I was quickly pulled into the story and had to make myself put it down to actually do some work. As usual, Kelley Haden narrates this story in a way that makes it like a play being enacted in front of you. Her skill with voices makes it easy to differentiate between whose speaking and when. I can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series.
