About this listen
The most brazen terrorist attack in history. A country bent on revenge. A love affair cut short. A heart that never truly heals.
I knew on the day of the attack that our lives were changed forever. What I didn’t know then was that I’d never see John again after he deployed. One day he was living with me, sleeping next to me, making plans with me. The next day he was gone.
That was five years ago. The world has moved on from that awful day, but I’m stuck in my own personal hell, waiting for a man who may be dead for all I know. At my sister’s wedding, I meet Eric, the brother of the groom, and my heart comes alive once again.
The world is riveted by the capture of the terrorist mastermind, brought down by US Special Forces in a daring raid. Now I am trapped between hoping I’ll hear from John and fearing what’ll become of my new life with Eric if I do.
From New York Times best-selling author, Five Years Gone is an epic story of love, honor, duty, unbearable choices and impossible dilemmas.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

I’d never forgotten him - a man I’d yet to meet. Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day, it did. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. Griffin forgave me, and we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

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.

A great book to listen to
Marie Force has done it again!!! She drew me in to this story from the very beginning and has exposed so much emotion. This the first Marie Force book I have listened to on Audible and loved how Andi and Joe brought the characters to life. I highly recommend this book!!

Engrossing
I really liked this book. It had an interesting, if a little far fetched, plot. How long would you wait for the man you love? As the plot progresses, our girl Ava begins to question if she ever really knew her boyfriend John at all.
The only two criticisms I had were that the story jumped between characters quite a bit, and sometimes I got a little lost as to who was talking. The other thing was that I thought it implausible that John would not have been able to contact his love Ava in any way (letter, phone call, email, text, carrier pigeon) for five years.
I always love Joe Arden's voice and who does not love Andi Arndt's narration?

My Favorite Book Ever!!!!
This book is byfar my most favorite book ever!!!! As a military wife, I found myself crying with Ava on multiple occasions. However, I'm so glad Marie Force kept the storyline realistic especially after Ava finds out she knew very little about the man she loved and anticipated for 5 long years!

Wonderful story!
This story is different than the typical romance. It shows how difficult some life decisions are to make. I never saw the ending coming the way it did. I wanted answers about John and closure and didn’t get it. The book definitely causes the reader to feel many emotions. This is one of those stories which will stay with you. Marie Force once again writes a winner! Narration is excellently performed by Joe Arden and Andi Arndt.

ALL-CONSUMING, UNSTOPPABLE & TRAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL
What an epic haunting love story this was.. Marie Force has written a very moving tale of love, honor, letting go, moving on, sacrifice and love (yes I said it twice). Ava had two blissful years deeply in love with Navy Seal John unaware that one day his deployment would take him away for years. It would leave unanswered questions as to what happened to him, it would leave Ava in limbo stopping her from moving on, it would shatter her dreams, it would break her heart and it would make her question whether she really knew him at all. Ava waited years but knew at the five year mark it was finally time to move on with her life.. and that’s when she meets easygoing Eric at a wedding. He’d also had his heart broken, had so much in common with Ava and together they slowly healed each other’s hearts.. but then John comes home from his mission.. critically injured, apologetic, a hero and still very much in love with Ava.
Worth a credit? Oh boy oh boy yes.. this touching emotional story had so many weighty feels.. my heart broke, mended, shredded and soared as the multiple (but primarily Ava’s) POV poignant plotline held me captive until the very last word. There’s a bitter-sweet ending and a second book for the man who had to walk away from Ava.. but PLEASE don’t look at the blurb because it’ll tell you exactly who that was and that’ll totally spoil this book’s climactic dramatic build. Andi and Joe brought this tragically beautiful story to life and together they created an unstoppable 5 star listen.
