As they rebuild their friendship and rekindle a lost love, Belle must choose to forget and trust him once more. Will their desire for love overcome the devastation of the past? This time, will their love last?

The narrator. She was awful!

As much as I love to read this author's books, the narrator ruined it for me. It was so bad I couldn't even finish it.

Stick to reading the book, not listening

I am not a fan of the automated voice recording, it just doesn’t do justice to a book.

Sweet book! Full of love and kindness.

As usual, virtual voice missed intonations that took away from the impact of the words. VV has a long way to go before it is as fulfilling as the human voice!

AI voice recording wreaked the story

I think it was a beautiful story but didn't enjoy the AI voice reading it. I prefer real voice artists performance.

Good story

Good story. But it was hard to get through...the narrator is terrible! Her recitation is choppy - awkward pauses/breaks - and doesn't flow at all.

Simple love story

Ai Virtual voice narration is severely lacking. No inflections, emotions or character change. Hard to stay focused and difficult to enjoy my favorite author.

Forgiveness and love

I loved the book. The story is so tender and sweet. Plenty of things going on to keep your attention. I love the characters and the focus of keeping our focus on God. And that hopes and dreams do come true even if not when you thought they would happen.
Surprisingly the AI voice was not bad. Some of the words were pronounced wrong. Good and bad - some readers have different tones and volumes and different voices for each character which I like unless they don’t do it well. The AI reader didn’t do voices but was more like me reading it to myself. It would have been nice to have a deeper tone for male voices. Very nice though! This was my first time with the AI reader.

I always love the Christ centeredness of Rachel Hauck books

I always love Rachel Hauck books! I did not enjoy the AI voice! That voice, lacks emotion You missed the characters. It's all the same. I love the performances of real people. Please don't choose to go this route again!!
