Kelley Hazen always shines!

I always give 5 stars for ML Hamilton reads but these were not my favorite. I know every book cannot elicit warm-fuzzy feelings but the last book could be very triggering to anyone with an abusive ex and new partner. Yes, it is a “I am women, hear me roar” ending, I felt great angst reading about all of Lexi’s downed luck. Just my opinion and others may love every minute! Happy Reading. Kelley Hazen is incredible as always.

Incredible Listen!

The Winter of Discovery Box Set by M.L. Hamilton is made up of the three books: January, February, and March. Each story is a standalone listen and has a wonderful message. How one selfless act brought out the best in others was incredible. I liked how the books had some characters intertwined in casual friendships, yet the stories were totally separate and encouraged them to be the best that they could be, and to reach for their dreams. I loved the fact that each woman focused in the books, had her own problems that were relatable. This collection of stories by ML Hamilton is so well done. Kelley Hazen is incredible with bringing the characters to life. She gives them distinguishable voices and inflects real emotions. Another kudos to the narrator is her ability to perform various ages, genders, and accents. I love being able to listen and hear exactly whom is speaking. I loved each story individually, and find the box set even better. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I highly recommend this book, and will most definitely listen to more by this author and narrator.

So worth the credit!

Let’s start with January this is when we meet Madeline right after her oldest sister’s funeral she works at a bar but wants so much more for her life like to run a bed-and-breakfast and hopefully with Tyrone someone who she says isn’t a boyfriend but you can tell there’s heat between them and trust me it progresses. Maybe with the love of Tyrone and squelching her self doubt she’ll be able to reach her goals. If only she could stop warring about everyone else and stop warring about herself. There are things she is going to learn that would be helpful to her just know this is an awesome awesome story they started the year off with a bang Madeline is a great story. In this story you first meet her sister who is a big-time taker she takes drugs peoples man whatever time she’s very selfish and one of Madeline’s problems.

February is when we meet destiny my heart went out to destiny she loses Terrence in the war in the Middle East and is left with just her and her daughter Aamir. Having a husband and plans and dreams that she just knew would come true. What is she to do now that Terrence is gone and what does this mean for her life there? Even though she has the support of loving friends and relatives herself doubt nags at her. This one made me cry and there is a part I willnot give it away but it meant it was very sad I almost had to pause the book. I was so into it though so I sold it on this is really good I think this is one of my favorites, but then again I felt that way about January now onto March
Here we meet Lexi let me just say there is a trigger in this story it is drug addiction in a little domestic violence. She has an appendectomy and afterwords given pain pills for the pain she becomes addicted and it eventually causes her to lose her husband and her daughter. Well she bounced back can she do it alone or will she be alone. I know this description is brief just know the story packs a punch it’s as if the stories just get better and better. Lexi story really affected me because I too was a drug attic I have been clean sinceJuly 17 of 2013 I was so proud of Lexi’s courage and determination and also disappointed in her and then proud again this is a very good book. All three stories of valuable stories and are easy to identify with especially with the self-doubt in the wanting better things but not knowing how to get them I can’t wait to finish the year of books they are so good so far. I mean they are great so farg July 17 of 2013 I was so proud of Lexi‘s courage and determination and also disappointed in her and then proud again this is a very good book.

The Winter of Discovery

This is a fantastic listen the first 3 books in the series. The Author has brought these three fantastic listens to fruition. It feels like I am right there in the scenes living through them vicariously. The Narrator and Author has really hit a home run. The Voices and Characters are fantastically written. I definitely recommend
