I liked the simplicity of the story. I enjoy this author”s writing and always look forward to her stories. This book was lighter than her usual and just fun.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6
When Great Britain has an unexpected General Election, political journalist Jenna Edwards is excited to go on the campaign trail. That is until she’s assigned to cover the Green Party and their attempt to win more than one paltry seat in Parliament. Disappointed, Jenna resigns herself to weeks of reporting on tree-hugging, plant-based diets, and renewable energies. The only bright spot? Well, that would be the hot brunette she seems to irritate with her very existence.

I appreciated a longer novel with character development and continued captivating story telling throughout. It was also very positive.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 172
Guide dog trainer Lenae McIntyre left the high-speed world of television news writing behind, and now she helps other visually impaired people adjust to life with their canine companions. She teaches her students and their dogs to trust each other, but a past betrayal and the determination to be self-sufficient and independent keep her from trusting her heart to see love. Cara Bradley compensates for her family's shallow celebrity lifestyle by devoting her life to helping others, while keeping to the background.

There was reality, respect, and compassion in a veryy good story. I have listened to it about 10 times and am sure that I will listen to it a few more times in the future.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 62
Ros McClure knows that she's well-qualified and deserves the promotion the university has promised. But she didn't expect that the good ol' boys network would be standing in her way. She's willing to stubbornly wait a little longer, but a family emergency is drawing her back to a time and a place she'd rather leave in her past. Stacy Hagen has been a high school biology teacher for nearly three decades, and she can multitask like nobody's business. Farmer, tennis coach, part-time housepainter—she can do it all. What she hasn't been able to do is find the love of her life.

Old fashioned but so much of what I appreciate in a romance novel! Thank you for writing it.
Reviewed: 09-30-24
I enjoyed the approach: a generally gentle but determined interaction between characters. It was warm without being aggresivly sexual.

When a co-worker who's going through a divorce suggests a house swap, Robbie can't pass up the chance to spend four weeks in a beach cottage in San Diego. All she needs to do is avoid her co-worker's ex-wife and finish a few home improvement projects.

Logic and romance
Reviewed: 07-04-24
It was a very romantic story without overwhelming sweetness. Logic played a role in the course of the romance as opposed to total immersion in dramatics. I have added it to my favorites. Oh, and I do not get tired of Abby Craden’s performances.

Aspiring writer Jules Moretti and iconic fashion editor Vivian Carlisle have been through the wringer. As Vivian's personal assistant, Jules was there for her ice queen boss's whims, commands, and the shocking discovery of her pregnancy. Just as shocking was Jules's realization that she was falling hard for Vivian . . . and that the feeling was mutual.

Reviewed: 06-28-24
Overall, it was a great book with my favorite reader. I enjoyed the 2 main characters, both the good and the character flaws. The ancillary characters were supportive of the character and story development. It was a
excellent “long” story and not at all boring to me. I just wish there was more with a Jules baby on Thea along with one or two pets. Vivian might have a stroke.

My third listen to this story was completed a week ago. It moves slowly, is trite at times, but my overall impression is that I love it and will listen to it a few more times. I hope the author has more to write.
