When You Were Mine

De: Alessa Martel

Narrado por: Alexandra Johnston

High school sweethearts. One night of heartbreak.

Michael and I used to be inseparable, but a devastating moment during a summer party after high school graduation brought our relationship to a painful stop. I avoided spending winter break from my freshman year in college back in my small town, but summer is closing in, looming like a dark cloud on the horizon. Returning home means facing Michael and the ruins of our relationship, but my fearful heart still aches over the future I always assumed we would share.

When my younger sister reveals that Michael is rumored to be engaged, I realize that I'm not ready to give him up. He's moved on, with a beautiful fiancée who seems to make him happy, but can I stand by and ignore the love I still hold in my heart for him?

Great coming of age novel

This is a story of Jenny, a young college student who comes home for the summer to face her former high school sweetheart who is engaged to someone else. The story is sweet, the characters likable.

When the narration is perfect...

I usually don’t go for clean romances with new adult characters but I listened to the sample of this book and loved the narration so I decided to give it a shot. Well I loved it! Alexandra Johnson is an excellent narrator and I will look for more books narrated by her. She makes you feel you are a 19 year old girl going through so many emotions.
Our hero and heroine were high school sweethearts and a miss understanding made them break up with out heroine leaving for college for a year. She comes back to her small town only to find out her ex is now engaged to be married. All characters are nice people. You actually can connect with all of them, even with our hero’s new fiancee. You just want them all to be happy. The author definitely writes good stories about good people.
As I said this is a clean romance but it’s not missing out on the build up, the love and the chemistry. Thoroughly enjoyed this story and highly recommend it!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

Sweet Romance

4 stars

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
okay The story it's self wasn't really my cup of tea, not bad just not for me. It was a little slow paced, and dragged on in my opinion. It had promise starting out but then the middle was kind of slow until the end.
The narrator was monotone and I noticed she did her "male" voice even when it was clearly the females talking or vise versa.
I would recommend this book to younger adults (18-22 range), the characters are around the same age.

Great listen!
