The Truest Thing

Hart’s Boardwalk Series, Book 4

By: Samantha Young

Narrated by: Amy Melissa Bentley, Alex Kydd

Nine years ago, Emery Saunders moved to Hartwell to start her life over as a bookstore owner. Her inability to trust people made it hard for her to find a place in the small community - until Jessica Lawson moved to town and befriended the shy beauty. But there was one person in Hartwell who tried to befriend Emery long before Jessica arrived....

Jack Devlin has his secrets. One of them is that he fell hard for Emery the moment she appeared in Hartwell. Another is that his father blackmailed him into covering up a dark family tragedy. It forced Jack to sever his relationships to protect the people he cared about. Yet, staying away from Emery has not been easy throughout the years, and he hasn't always succeeded. When Jack's mixed signals hurt Emery once again, she puts him out of her heart for good.

Until the Devlin family secret is finally revealed, freeing Jack from his father's machinations. What Jack wants more than anything is to repair his relationships, starting with Emery. However, Emery isn't ready to forgive, and Jack's not ready to give up. And when the town's latest scandal ties Jack and Emery together, Jack is not above using their new reality to prove to Emery once and for all that their love is worthy of the legend of Hart's Boardwalk.

Bad narrator😬

Hard for me to make it through this book due to the narrators. Mainly the male narrator. His “Jack” voice is very annoying and sounds sort of cartoonish.
Some of the voices from the female narrator are extremely cringe as well, mostly her Dahlia, Boston accent. I couldn’t even listen to the last book because of that. And I also hate how it switches back-and-forth from first person when Emory is speaking and then it switches to third person every time Jack is speaking. That is very annoying and I wish She wouldn’t write it that way.

Absolutely perfect!

I am a huge fan of Hart's Boardwalk, and this one did not disappoint!! Great read!!

Not as good as the others

Too much catch up and not enough story and character development in my opinion. The male narrator was not my favorite.

Supberb!!!!!

Samantha has outdone herself! The book was incredible!!!!! I couldn’t put it down. It was absolutely amazing! And having a male and female narrator made it even more realistic!!!!

Slight let down

Would have given this book a 5 star rating, but the narration was disappointing. The other books in the series were narrated by Angelica Lee who is the best! These narrators were boring and the male voice was worse then the female’s. Still worth a read, because Samantha Young is such a great storyteller!
