So good! The book was terrific to read and getting the nuisances of these characters via this recording is just crazy good! These narrators are top notch!

It is a world I know virtually nothing about but is presented so thoroughly without being over my head that you are there!

Hudson is the best book boyfriend & Allie has just enough complications to make their story touching, heartbreaking & heartwarming!

Having read this series years ago and loving it, it is so great to listen to the story of this interesting couple and how their lives have changed & grown from the first grudging meet-not-so-cute to this moving forward of their lives together.

All the secondary characters are so true to the story and just enlarge this experience or life on Alaska.

I will miss them as I move on to other books, but The Simple Wild series has etched a place in my heart forever.

I had enjoyed this book when I read it a few years ago. Hearing the story now, it was just as interesting and really gave a new meaning to “until death do us part”. I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter that spelled out the “little things” that could break a marriage.

Gosh, I could relate to some of them!

Elsee felt stuck in her marriage and when it ended tragically, she tried to keep all the plates spinning: her kids, the family business, her church group.

When a younger man opens a competitive business in their small town she unexpectedly finds an attraction to her nemesis.

The development of their relationship & her retrospection into her life as a wife & mother are really terrific. And the younger man just continues to surprise her!

With a setting as mystical & unique as Taos New Mexico, with all the ethnic diversity and ancient traditions, but with a very modern spin on interracial relationships, faulty marriages & finding your way back from the bottom, this is a very good story that takes you by surprise with the many layers of each character, as well as an amazing performance by this narrator. This is a new author to me & if her other works are like this, I definitely think her stories are worth a read or listen!

This is a terrifically, entertaining story. The characters are very well developed, appealing, and so fun! Many parts of the story are laugh out loud funny, and I had not remembered (from reading it) about the lead-in to every chapter which are tongue in cheek descriptions of menu items that you’d find it any high-end restaurant! Can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Loved this story when I read it & thoroughly enjoyed this audible recording! The narrators did an excellent job conveying these strong, unusual, diverse characters. Loved the detail on both football kickers (the American kind of football) and acting (popular & classic). The banter (and the different voices portrayed) were so good! Chloe Wins!!

I’d read the book years ago. I read it out of order & before the End of Day series. Yet it still resonates with me as an incredible story, with terrific characters & storyline. It’s amazing to me that the author manages to carry some of these from book to book with such authenticity and depth. Livvie & Wylder are incredible together. Add in glimpses of Jessica & Jackson Knight and the bad guys from G.A.L.E. and it’s just wow!

Voices are really good. Wish there’d been a male voice for Wylder, but still excellent portrayal!

I loved this book, as well as book 1 The Naked Fisherman, when I read them. It was a blast reacquainting myself with Reese, Fisher Mann, Rory, Rose & all the rest. I loved the concept of Fisher being lost, due to an accident, and I loved how the love story for these two characters was written.

This book was awesome when I read it. But having it come to life with these two talented voices enhanced this, the final chapter in the Jackson Day saga. And what a finale it was! You need to read this whole series! All are wildly inventive and brilliant. All the characters are great. One of my favorite authors, hands down!!

While this story deals with heartbreaking loss, it is so well written & with terrific characters, I’ve reread the book at least twice. But listening to Conor’s audible performance just brings it to another whole dimension. His often funny, yet so touching telling of this Jewel E Ann masterpiece will definitely reach into your soul. There’s an important message here about love, traumatic loss & the need for any adult (parent or not) to know & understand the care that must be taken whenever you are in charge of a small child and the unimaginable things can happen in a heartbeat.
