Unforgettable

Johnson Family, Volume 1

By: Delaney Diamond

Narrated by: Michael Pauley

She offered everything he never knew he needed.

Ivy Johnson is stunned when Lucas Baylor makes an appearance at her family's event in Seattle. She hasn't seen him in nine years and never expected to again. Avoiding him is a must. She can't let him uncover her secret, but Lucas won't be denied. When her deception is revealed, it throws his life into a tailspin and forces them to face the truth of their feelings for each other - feelings they've both tried in vain to forget.

Can't wait to read the next Johnson Family story.

Great love story. I wish all of her books were audible. Totally enjoyed this book.

Great story bad accent

I really enjoyed the story line but it was hard to get pass the bad southern accent. I had to keep reminding myself to focus on the story and not the person narrating it. I plan to continue the series and hope to get through it without letting the accent turn me off.

Good Listen

Nothing special, but a good listen. It would have been better if narrated by R.C Bray.

Well read but not by someone from the culture...

The story was awesome, and the narrator was not horrible. I almost did not listen because of other reviews, but I am glad that I gave it a try. The narrator did not seem to be a man who has the same melanin composition as the cover model. He read well, but the cultural differences of cadence, tenor, and pronunciation make a difference.

I'm hooked!

The flow of story and the way it was narrated is so interesting that I didn't pause until I finished it. It's a great story, a realistic one. It has enough drama, enough sex scenes and sexy characters.

💎

Delaney Diamond writes beautifully and consistently keeps me entertained. I absolutely love this story line.

Just listen

The story is outstanding. Not predictable. the only issue was the reader. He was not exciting. he read in a monotone manner.

Riveting

Lucas and Ivy’s story was a great. I like how the guy wasn’t the bad guy and was able to express and place demand on him and Ivy’s relationship so he could be included in Katie’s life. The storyline was great their relationship development was also very well executed. I love reading and listening to her books. Can’t wait to dive into the next.

Blacknificant Love

Real heartfelt pasonate classy Black romance without being trashy. The characters are like family, people

Unexpectedly Good

What does Michael Pauley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really liked his narration of this book. He did a really good job with the characters and drew me more into the story. I don't think I would have liked it as much if I had read it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Just shock. There were a lot of revelations in this book. Also the flashbacks of the couple made me think awww. You could tell they had a real connection in the past.

Any additional comments?

I really liked the premise of this story. You can kind of just tell what Ivy's secret from the past is. I understood Lucas's stance on the whole thing and it took a while to see why Ivy did what she did and I think if she would have revealed that earlier this couple would have came together sooner. I understood Lucas's issues too. At first I was wondering why he was so cold to Ivy in the beginning but as his reasons began to emerge I could see his side. I was wondering how Ivy and Lucas would get over their past issues and I really liked the resolution to the conflict. I look forward to reading more from this author.
