I really enjoyed this story. It is a little predictable but I didn’t choose it to keep me on the edge of my seat…. Esters story is wonderful.

Predictable

Soooo predictable ! Not a single surprise in this plot. But the setting is lovely, the characters sympathetic, EXCELLENT narration, and a HEA. Romance fans will enjoy.

Very predictable storyline.

The story was so predictable. You could skip ahead and not miss much. A love story that you can listen to while driving or doing other things.
