Critic Reviews

"Full of high emotional moments and unexpected twists and turns, these Color of Heaven books are impossible to put down." (Emily March, New York Times best-selling author)

Sweet

Nice story. Got a little confused at first because I didn’t realize that there were 2 different couples, I thought it was going back it time. But caught on. The author must be involved with a 12 step program because there’s a lot of principals in the story that come from the program but also based on forgiveness which if God can forgive us we should be able to forgive others. I liked the females voice but starting out with the male voice threw me. I didn’t care for his voice to begin off with. During the story it was ok. But there must be other smoother rhythmic better sounding out there. I noticed there’s lots of good female voices but not to many men’s.
Overall I liked it. I’m just not used to nice happy endings. We need more of these!

Fabulous series

I have been listening to this series from the beginning. It has been thoughtful and wonderful. I have really liked them all. And I have enjoyed the narrators all along.

Kept me wondering

Perhaps the best so far in this series. I was glad when Josh finally found a lady, but I kept guessing g at the conclusion of this mystery until the very end. I enjoy the way Leah is involved in the story, and the way Trudy relays messages. The series is very skillfully connecting the books. Good read.

What did I just listened to?

I loved the first book in this series. I was focused on Riley’s story and was confused after the other characters that was not of the beginning thrown in. I kept waiting for Riley’s story but it didn’t come. I was confused and distracted with the thrown in characters that I got lost, thus I lost interest. I couldn’t finish Riley’s and won’t be continuing with this series. As a reader, confusing plot is a disaster and too bad for this author because the writing was well written. It’s too bad that the story sucks!

Hopeful, Blessed and Joyful

I feel full to overflowing with love and joy after listening to book 8 in the "Color of Heaven" series and fully intend to keep listening to the next book in this fantastic series.

THE COLOR OF JOY

It is hard to believe that I am enjoying this series as much as I am. I t is very well written and very entertaining, This author knows how to tell a story

Love this series!

I have been thrilled with each of these books. The characters are so real, the subject enthralling and I can't get enough. What a talented writer to be able to have this many books in a series and keep the readers grabbing the next one. Which is exactly where I am headed.
