About this listen

Learn more about the new "Bachelor" Arie Luyendyk from one of the people who knew him best – "Bachelorette" Emily Maynard Johnson.

Millions know Emily Maynard Johnson from her unprecedented double appearances on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Millions also know that neither of the relationships from those shows lasted much longer than a commercial break.

Overcome with embarrassment following her nationally televised failures at romance, Emily finally committed her heart to the only one she knew would never leave her empty and alone. Abandoning her desire to be chosen by men and finding peace in the fact that she was already chosen by God, Emily found the joy she had been looking for in serving God.

In I Said Yes, Emily tells the story of her life before and after reality TV fame, describing the profound new reality she discovered when she forsook fame in favor of the Lord. At the end of a long, fruitless search for a man, this courageous young woman found the truest love of all waiting right in front of her. To that love, Emily said yes.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I loved as much as I listened too but Emily should have narrated it really took away from having it audio. Plus her accent and kind voice would have made it GREAT!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ricky

What three words best describe Hayley Cresswell’s voice?

Didn't do anything for me, very different from Emily's voice. they should have at least had someone with a southern accent. In my opinion it ruined the AUDIO book for me!

Could you see I Said Yes being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes I would love it, not sure I am getting to old to know the younger stars. I do love Jennifer Love Hewitt despite her bad reputation but she is getting too old for this story.

Any additional comments?

Emily redo the book with you narrating!

Goood story but Emily shouod have narrated

A little too much Jesus juice was drank by the writer for my taste. Thought this would be more of a bachelor tell all.

Emily is sweet and I loved hearing about her bachelor adventures but most importantly her spiritual journey.

Sweet just like Emily

I really enjoyed hearing the behind the scene take on what goes into the making of the bachelor and bachelorette series and also how Emily's real life has shaped her into the person she is today. I would have preferred she had narrated it herself though after being on tv and people knowing how you talk and sound the narrator didn't match Emily's personality. This would have made it way more enjoyable to listen to in my opinion if you are a fan of hers.

Interesting read for bachelor/bachelorette fans

I LOVE audio books. Ever since I became a mom to 2-under-2 (plus a preschooler and 3rd grader), audio books are the only way I can enjoy one of my most beloved hobbies; reading. That said, this is one book I wish I would have read in print. Emily didn't narrate it, and while I knew that before I started, it just was weird hearing Emily's story told by someone else. Like if you were watching the Bachelorette and some other girl was doing her voiceovers. (By the way, she is just a tad annoying.) It made it less enjoyable. But I loved the message, the story, and of course her happy ending! I would definitely recommend the book- but if you loved Emily on TV, I would recommend reading it the old fashioned way.

Great, but I wish I would have read it in print

Loved the book, wish Emily had narrated the book herself though. It was very interesting to hear about her seasons on the bachelor/bachelorette.

Emily, thank you for loving God first and for sharing your story to everyone. I had no idea of your faith. I loved learning about your story! Keep shining HIS light!!

Love Emily's testimonial

A but preachy, especially at the end, but mostly sweet and endearing. Fun Bachelorette behind the scene moments.

Better than expected

It was Ok. I wasn't ready for religion's connects. Emily's honest about being a single mom.

Read if you like the TV
