Story
After a year of recovery, wounded war veteran Jonah Harrison comes home for Christmas. No longer the outgoing high school track star, he just wants to be left alone, away from well-meaning friends and neighbors. But when a blizzard strands him with Kami Jackson - the girl who once knew him best - he can’t hide anything from her, no matter how much he wants to. Kami has a wounded heart of her own, though, and it might take a miracle - or at least two matchmaking dogs - for them to find the healing they both long for and the courage to reach for a chance at love.

Lord Farnsworth would rather rot in debtor’s prison than sell the one place that feels like home to him - his mother’s manor. That is, until he meets the woman who wants to buy it. Sally Duncan is beautiful, intelligent, and as rich as a baron. All he needs to do is sell her his beloved manor and then charm her to the altar, and the manor will be his again. Simple, right? But nothing is simple when Sally starts tearing apart his ancestral home and renovating it in a way no one would consider tasteful.

Story
Great escape
Would you consider the audio edition of Through Love's Trials to be better than the print version?
This review is from my wife:
Have not read the print copy.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Kenneth. Strong male lead always helps. He wasn't ex-special forces or SEALs, just an attorney. Everyday kind of guy with strong sense of morality. Emma was also good but seemed a bit weak at times. Maybe timid is more the right description. She does have her shining moments though. Julia, the daughter, was hilarious.
What does Keith Michaelson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Never had to wonder who was speaking. The female voices were so much better than I would have thought. I forgot it was a guy narrating during their dialogue. The diversity of voices was great.
Any additional comments?
Great escape from the daily grind. Lots of romance books feel like soap operas or they have that retarded love triangle. This one did not. The characters were real, dealing with everyday challenges. Made them feel relatable to me. The twist at the end with Kenneth (no spoilers don't worry) was pretty good.

Fast paced, quick listen
Would you listen to Through Love's Trials again? Why?
Probably. Story was good, narration was good. It really moved along at a good pace. The intensity was easy to feel.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Through Love's Trials?
The prologue really was emotional. Really pulled me in. There's a scene [spoiler alert] where Emma is attacked. It was angering and gripping at the same time. Some of the jumps in the relationship between the two main characters were a little forced, but it didn't bother me too much. Even though this is the first in a series, it seems, the book works well as a stand alone. I'd pick up the next book when it comes out.
What about Keith Michaelson’s performance did you like?
Have not heard him before. Voice is rich, performance consistent. As I said, the prologue was really was emotional. I think the performance had a lot to do with that and kept me listening.
Any additional comments?
This wasn't sappy romance. It's clean, ok for a family to listen to on a trip (as we did). Good humor as well here and there (I like Pepper). I could have done with a little more action, but it holds its own as an adventure/romance. The "court" scene at the end made me smile. Clever.

julie coulter bellon wins again!
If you could sum up Through Love's Trials in three words, what would they be?
An amazing story!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked Emma, she was a strong woman that had been through a lot in her life and but was independent and in the face of trials she was strong and came away a hero. She also let Kenneth in and let him help her.
What about Keith Michaelson’s performance did you like?
He did an excellent job changes his voice so we knew which character was speaking.
Any additional comments?
I love anything Julie writes and she doesn't disappoint with this series either.

Heart Pounding Action & Suspense
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Interesting, realistic action & suspense. A nice romance that first started off as practically enemies. Great detail that really puts you in the story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Through Love's Trials?
When Kenneth goes to Emma's house,when she doesn't show up for their meeting together.
He arrives just in time to fight off the Sleazy Guy that broke into Emma's house, and still was there attacking her.
Have you listened to any of Keith Michaelson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Haven't heard him before.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
My heart was pounding when they were being chased down and when their lives are in danger.
Any additional comments?
Was easy to relate to and connect, by just being a parent, and having the concern when one of your children are lost or in danger.
I avoid movies and books that have violence. This book did have fighting and even people dying, yet not all the gory, gross details of it all.

Where's book 2?
Through love's trials wraps us nicely, but it says this is book 1...so...
Honestly, I'm not sure I would have stuck with this after the beginning if it weren't for the narrator. After what I thought was a predictable start, the story really took off and I'm glad I stuck with it. You should too! Give it a shot. I didn't regret it, neither will you! 5 stars.

I didn’t want to put it down!
I couldn’t help but be enthralled by this story. I found it thoroughly engaging - the suspense of the storyline being just right for me to not want to stop listening to it. This is a clean read/listen - although, being a spy novel, there is some violent content, which some might find upsetting, however this was not done with any gory details and I didn’t find it too confronting personally. This is the first book of the series and I would happily listen to more. I received a copy of this audiobook from the author, however this in no way influenced my opinion and I am under no obligation to leave a review.

romantic suspense
Wow!!! This book hooked me from the beginning and kept me until the very end. I lost sleep listening to this book because I just couldn't stop. It is full of action, romance, suspense and a bit of nail biting. Definitely a fast paced adventure. An amazing mystery that kept me guessing. Love wins out in the end with a really good ending. The narrator did a good job of switching voices and had me seeing who was talking except for the little girl's IMO.
