Critic reviews

"Wingate's empathic writing style is beautifully suited to this contemporary romance in which the simple life is portrayed as heroic and romantic." ( Booklist)

Very Pleasant listen

This book was very pleasant and a very good story. Not a waste of your time. It makes you think about what is important in your day to day living. The Narrator was very good. She has a smooth mellow voice that made the listen that much more pleasant.
I bought the book for a 4.95 special and it was definitely worth it. Not sure if I would have used a credit but it was a good story.

Loved it

Loved this story. Great narration that just brought the characters and story to life. Left me wanting more.

Light, funny and a delightful story! Great performance and characters! Looking forward to the next story in the series!

Nice book!

I really liked this book. Nice uncomplicated story. The two main characters had good chemistry. The narrator did a great job! Credit well spent.

Wonderful story

I love the narrating of this book. The characters seem real. The start was slow but the storyline keeps you interested to the very end. Wonderful like home cooked meals!!!

Sweet love story

I enjoyed the whole story from beginning to the ending lot of twists and turns when you're unsure about falling in love. I especially liked city girl meets cowboy.

It was a good book.

This was my first time reading anything by this author. I really enjoyed it and will get the other books in the series. It was a good uncomplicated book and easy to listen to.

Fabulous

I find that most stories lose my attention somewhere and I feel they could have been shorter being rather drawn out. This was a creative, well written and touching story beautifully narrated. I am now going to find something else of her writings. The only regret I think will be when I have gone through all her books
