Sisters Amanda Foster and Erin Turner have little in common except the childhood bedroom they once shared and the certainty each feels that her way of life is best. Amanda follows the rules - at the school where she works; in her community; and as a picture-perfect daughter, wife, and mother-to-be. Erin follows her heart - in love and otherwise - living a bohemian lifestyle on a shoestring budget and honoring her late father’s memory with a passion for music and her fledgling bath-products business.

In the fading town of Rooster, Texas, all that's really left is a service station, a church…and the Banty House, a long-ago Depression-era brothel. For more than seventy-five years, Betsy, Connie, and Kate Carson have called their mama's house a home. The three eccentric sisters get by just fine with their homemade jams and jellies, a little moonshine on the side, and big hearts always open to strangers. Like Ginger Andrews.

But fate seems to have other ideas and she soon has two very different men vying for her attention.

But is Callie willing to risk her heart again and, if she is, will she make the right choice?

Charming and Captivating
If you could sum up The Book Lovers in three words, what would they be?
Light, Feel-good, Easy-listening
What does Jan Cramer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
She was the sort of narrator that you know is good because you don't really notice them while you're listening.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely, I would listen in the car driving backwards and forwards to work and would often wish I could stay sitting in the car all day to hear the next bit!

Good story
I enjoyed this book, the troubles, the characters and the journey they go on.
There was lots of "he said" and "she said" to describe the dialogue, that got quite tiresome. Maybe reading it would have been a obvious.
The performance of the narrator d good reading the book, a lovely, soft, eloquent voice. Reading the dialogue though she gave emphasis that I didn't enjoy as much.

Very Nice Story Telling.
I really loved the narration and the story was sickly sweet. Sickly sweet in a good way like eating too many Creme Eggs at Easter. Combine both and you have the perfect story to listen to just before bed.
