Publisher's summary

Contemporary Romance

Aelissm Davis figured she would eventually return home to Northstar, Montana, but not like this - desperate for the tranquility of the secluded valley and plagued by memories of her dead boyfriend and the advances of an obsessive former friend. Just when she begins to relax, a call from her old friend makes it clear he wasn't deterred, and she calls her overprotective uncle for advice. Things become even more tangled when he sends Patrick O'Neil "on vacation" to keep an eye on her. Aelissm is pretty sure her uncle is playing matchmaker again, but despite her annoyance, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Pat. He is a haunted man with a kind smile and sad eyes, and he may just be the best thing to ever happen to her…if she can convince him to stay.

decent story somewhat tedious in the telling

Good story , trite narrative.Narration style for children & often slurred, with some unforgiveavle mispronunciations

Terrible performance

I can not give a good rating on the story because the narrator was so bad that I kept getting bored and distracted.

Love Heals Broken Lives!

A man and a woman have separate violent tragedy wreck their lives. They are each withdrawn and stuck in the aftermath. When the woman is threatened her law enforcement uncle sends a young struggling detective friend to help protect his hurting endangered niece. The hero and heroine meet and develop a friendship that leads to more. All the while they give each other the courage to face their own demons. I think it is necessary to comment on narrator's lackluster performance. Her voice is low energy and flat. She just reads the story and does not vary her voice with different characters so she does not add to enjoyment of book.

light listening

recording was inconsistent
story was good description of Montana was wonderful
somewhat predictable but nice to listen to while driving

Victims No More

If you like wounded heroes on a path to healing, you'll enjoy this clean, but sensuous, romance. It isn't a Christian novel but Pat and Aelissm might inspire others to get out of the victim trap and heal. I think the narrator hurt this book. I'll give Suzie O'Connell another try but not with this Reader. She does have a nice voice quality but her timing and lack of different voices hurt the book. The hero often sounded more than slow witted.

Great New Read!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Always looking for a new author with continuing series. The story line here is great and the author has chosen a wonderful narrator (Tina Bjorklund) to keep the story interesting with her smooth, calm style. Can't wait for the next one!

Performance ruined this book!

I couldn't even listen until the end. Why pick someone who is obviously older, (I'm 51 so I can say that), to portray someone young? She sounds as if she has NEVER had a passionate moment in her life.

Narration was terrible

The voice was terrible and I almost didn't finish the book. Not a bad book just awful voice. Wouldn't recommend

gripping story making the reader cheer and cry

A gripping story making the reader cheer and cry as the hero's journey the way through to find everlasting love.

A love story about healing in a beautiful setting.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I don't read the romance genre very often, but the plot line and the story location got my attention. I listened to the story on my way to and from work everyday. The narration was very good. She allowed me to disappear into the story without distraction.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I suppose that would have to be Alysem (spell?) Davis. She just seemed like a real person.

Have you listened to any of Tina R. Bjorklund’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I think her reading of the story is very clear. I liked the inflection she used in different parts of the story. Her voice is calm and practiced.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I had my driveway moments!
