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.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

An independent woman. A prideful man. A brutal storm. Can this Christmas unlock the love they never expected?

Art wanted a young, docile bride, not a fiercely independent woman who threatens his control over his hotel and his heart. As the snow piles up, so does their tension, turning every encounter into a battle of wills. But as secrets crack through their defenses, an unexpected spark ignites. Now, with nowhere ...

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.

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.

Real people read with inflection
This was a great story. I always enjoy stories from this author, but I will not likely listen to another AI-read book. There is no inflection or incorrect inflection in the voice and you can scarcely tell what character is speaking. It really detracted from the story so I have no interest in listening unless it's a real person reading it. This is a disservice to the author, who's books I otherwise always enjoy.

the story itself was great
I liked the story but the automated narration was hard to listen to. it's a much better experience with an actual human reading.

Heavy to the end
I mean, well told, but very heavy content lasted the entire book. If you’re looking for a romance, probably move along, Yes, it gets there at the very end but the journey was mainly fixated in the grief and pain, good description of how that can feel for people, not so much a leisure tale. Depends on what you’re looking for.

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.

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.
