Waiting for a Love Song

De: Jaime Clevenger

Narrado por: Abby Craden

Jodi Burkitt is alone again. Her ex took everything with her—the friends, the fun, and the daughter that Jodi had loved like her own. She's got plenty to distract her from the empty days and nights, especially her latest home renovation project.

When Jodi discovers a hidden jewelry box in the walls of the home she's renovating, she turns to her ex's friend, librarian Michele Galveston, to help piece together the mystery inside the box.

Michele Galveston is anything but a quiet librarian—she sings in a local band and has a talent for never following anyone's rules but her own. Michele has a reputation for rarely staying with a woman for more than a few months and Jodi knows she should steer clear. But the closer they get to solving the mystery in the jewelry box, the closer Jodi and Michele get to each other.

Will Jodi risk her heart again—especially for someone as emotionally unavailable as Michele? And will Michele finally find a way to trust someone enough to share the secret she's kept hidden for so many years? With Jodi's wounded heart and Michele's love 'em and leave 'em history, it's likely that love songs and life might be two very different things.

Contains mature themes.

Love the backstory!

This story was great with its backstory of characters but the main characters were frustrating at times. Michelle mad you want to scream at times.

What A Great Story!

I just finished listening to this amazing story, and I will admit it caused some moist eyes a few times! The mystery of the house and the story of a love lost years before was well written and kept you wanting to know more. The only real drawback I had with the story was the persistence of Jodi for a woman who apparently didn't care for her. In the real life, I believe most people would give up after a couple of years of pining for a person who won't surrender to the obvious desires they have. Perhaps that's why Jodi didn't give in, but that's for her to know.

Aggravating

They so belong together, but omition of truths kept them apart as lovers and occasionally friends for so long.

Frustrating But Wonderful

I loved the variety and complexity of the characters. The mystery was so captivating and emotional. A sad but very real tribute to the historical realities of women who loved women. To others, hang in to the end-feel all the emotions- it so worth it.

Mysterious fingers from the past reach out and entwine around the hearts of wary but hopeful lovers!

This is a well written story with beautiful characters and a wonderfully mysterious discovery- incredible letters that give life to the story of a past relationship, while swirling around in vivid colors to illuminate and inspire present day friends and potential lovers. This story reminds us that the lies we tell ourselves are perhaps the most dangerous and limiting of all and living our truth requires us to be courageous and at times, fearless! Thankfully, our main and supporting characters are not perfect and that makes them far more realistic. The spice and angst are not as frequent as some, but still potent. The voices used were varied and good, though I felt a little more energy in the narration was needed at times; however, Abby is so good overall that this is still a wonderful listen and a very enjoyable book!

Sweet Romance

Not the most "Spicy" book I've listened to for sure, but a sweet story with an interesting plot. There were times it dragged but overall, a good listen. Abby Craden is a great narrarator and I almost always enjoy listening to her.
