About this listen
Somya Hilton has known nothing but a life of ultimatums. From a young age, it was her and her sister Eliza against the world. When both of them find love and start families of their own, Somya finally feels like she has the life she deserves.
Then tragedy strikes, leaving both her sister and brother-in-law dead and Somya to care for her niece Jazlynn, who is ten at the time. For Somya, there is no question that Jazzlyn should be with her. Her husband, however, has a difference of opinion.
Xander Tripp has always taken care of business. The product of a drug-addicted mother and a felon for a father, all he knows is hustling to survive. After the birth of his daughter left him a single father, Xander pulls himself together to be the parent she deserves.
Twelve years later they have a beautiful life, but Xander is lonely...until he meets the beautiful Somya, the recently divorced mother of his daughter’s new best friend. What starts as a friendly exchange, quickly turns into a beautiful, unexpected love.
Trauma bonded them, but is their bond strong enough to withstand the tests of a jealous ex and the return of Xander’s baby mama? Will Somya and Xander thrive under pressure, or fold under the weight the world on their shoulders?

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.

True Love Always Wins!!!!
As with all of the stories I’ve read/listened to by Kimberly Brown, this one doesn’t disappoint!!!! I love the way she shows the highs and lows of relationships with maturity and good sense prevailing. This story proved how good “family” can be when priorities are set in the right perspective.
S/N: the female narrator was good, but the male actor really needs to learn to read more fluidly. Choppy ain’t sexy!

Awesome story, but the male narrator was "meh"...
STORY😍❤️
This incredibly heartfelt story explores the meaning of "family" and the role of redemption. I love Kimberly Brown's writing. She is a masterful storyteller and the main characters in this book were mature and swoon-worthy. This is a 5-STAR read without a doubt.
NARRATION 🫤
It pains me not to give 5 stars to this work, but this is an audiobook so I have to keep it real about the narration. The male narrator, while a talented voice artist, was a NOT a good fit for this book. The male character's backstory is that this brotha had to "get it out the mud"... he's got some edge to him. You cannot have a narrator sounding like he's doing a table read of Othello for this character. When he pronounced "the -itis" like he was in Victorian England, I almost lost it. It was frustrating to listen to the chapters that he narrated. Ebony could have (and should have) narrated the entire book by herself. She did a good job voicing characters of different ages. I enjoyed the chapters that she read.

This was a really good book. I know a lot of people don’t like K Bernard’s voice. I felt like that the first time I heard his voice. He grew on me eventually. I was listen to his narrating now. He’s not all bad. He and Ebony did a good job and Kimberly Brown never disappoint good job!

Male Narrator Awful
I loved this book!! I have read this book over and over and over. I was so looking forward to the Audible book. When I heard the male Narrator I was so disappointed. He sounds mechanical no emotion and heart. That voice was not the Zander I read.
