About this listen
When Samuel Walker proposes a marriage of convenience to Rose Hatfieldso soon after the death of his wife, she knows he doesn't love her. She's loved him since their school days. Those long-suppressed feelings spring to life as she marries him. She must sell her childhood home, quit her teaching job, and move to a new city.
Marrying Rose is harder than Samuel expected, especially with the shadow of his deceased wife everywhere in his life. And he has two young children to consider. Peter and Emma need a mother's love, but they also need to hold close the memories of their real mother as they grieve her loss.
Life as Samuel's wife is nothing like Rose hoped, and even the townspeople, who loved his first wife, make Rose feel like an outsider. The work of the farm draws the two of them closer, giving hope that they might one day become a happy family. Until the dream shatters, and the life Rose craves tumbles down around them. Only God can put these pieces back together, but the outcome may not look anything like she planned.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Nice story but...
The stories is nice but AI reading it is awful. Human reading it would have been much better. I hope that doesn't beco.e the norm.

Sweet story, Horrible AI storytelling
I didn’t like the AI reading since it made the character dialog difficult to follow. The AI didn’t help to distinguish the different voices.

I'm shocked
Until this book I've been totally against the ai narration. The fake narrations usually lack the emotion, voice highs & lows, character voice changes, etc. This narration lacked very little. the voices were great. The story itself was so sweet. Good read.

Keep me mad
I like this book. Some of the time, I was so upset with male character and wish that the female character will run away and see how his life would be without her. Shed a few tears. Yelled at the book a few times, as well as couldn’t understand some of the things that happened but in the end I was happy. Still can’t get used to the virtual voice but on this one, I slowed it down because sometimes I will get confused on who was speaking.

Outstanding character development
Yes, this is a romance novel, but it’s not really a romance novel. The author does a fantastic job of drawing the audience into the emotions of the characters. The discontentment and anxiety and insecurity and general emotional suppression of the main character Rose are so well presented that they’re palpable. She definitely needed some therapy about boundaries and clear communication; nevertheless I’m certain that was not available to her, but I digress. The point is, regardless of the virtual voice, I became completely emotionally involved with the characters because the author’s writing is superb. She created a steady build up of tension that made the book hard to put down. I love that she didn’t rush a resolution and allowed the characters to process and grow in a realistic way. So this book had no steamy scenes, no mysteries to solve, no greedy villains, no overt preachiness. Just a great story about people trying to work through their relationship problems and coming to terms with the acknowledgment and expression of their needs.

AI is terrible, story is good
I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt like the AI voice absolutely destroyed a good story. Couldn’t finish it.

Narration
The computer narration was sometimes difficult as the intonation of voices was absent and some sentences seemed to run together.

Amazing story.
It takes a minute for the Christian storyline to kick in, but when it does, it is so amazing! This is exactly how the hand of God moves. I would’ve loved an epilogue to the story. There are several characters in the story that I would want to, their own tail. So many opportunities for the father to show up and do miraculous things in the lives of these characters. I have a new favorite book and author.
