About this listen
Serenity Rupert, a former foster child, is struggling to keep it together with no money and a life in shambles. With no family to turn to, she’s desperate to find a job to pay rent. When things seem to be their bleakest, William, a kind and charming stranger appears and helps her find employment.
With her life back on track, Serenity ventures to reconnect with her estranged family and discovers William’s arrival in her life may not have been as unexpected as it seemed. Is William the key to Serenity making peace with her past or does he have ulterior motives?

Story
It started out like any normal day. Then the fender bender happened. The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth. Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway - one I was excited about. Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

Story
In the deep woods of East Texas, Henry supports his family by selling bootleg liquor. It's all he can do to keep his compassionate but ailing mother and his stepfather - a fanatical grassroots minister with a bruising rhetoric - from ruin. But they have no idea they've become the obsession of the girl in the woods. Andoned and nearly feral, Eve has been watching them, seduced by the notion of family - something she's known only in the most brutal sense. Soon she can't resist the temptation to get close.

This pot of gold could hold more than they bargained for.... Grand. Just grand. Clara Donovan's failure to keep her brother from going off the rails - again - is a public spectacle. Including a handsome stranger who puts down his guitar case to help her talk Seamus down from Farthing's tallest bridge. Everything about Danny Brady reminds Clara how many times she swore she'll never again be that pathetic, weak woman who got taken in by a good-looking man. Especially when, the next day, she walks into a new coffee shop in her little Irish town and discovers Danny's secret.

When Cara stumbles across a stash of old postcards in the attic, their contents make her question everything she thought she knew. The story she pieces together is confusing and unsettling, and appears to have been patched over with lies. But who can tell her the truth? With her father sinking into Alzheimer’s and her brother reluctant to help, it seems Cara will never find the answers to her questions. One thing is clear, though: someone knows more than they’re letting on.

Normal. It was a relative term, or so I thought. After a relationship from hell that almost killed me, I didn’t want another man in my life. A job, a home, and great friends were all I needed. Simple. Uncomplicated. Until two men interrupted the calm I was pretending to be. One could take me to the future—a future I never dared to dream I could have. A man who gave me a chance to smile and fix the mistakes I’d made. But, I shouldn’t get a second chance at a happily ever after.

The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start. On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom. (The ladies’ room was out of order. So, I used the men’s room. Don’t judge.) I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat. So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb - the British guy from the men’s room. And so it began...my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds. I was starting to lose hope. Until a knock at my door came, and God answered my prayers. Except...uh...wrong prayer, God. I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate. Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway. While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined. Then, cupcakes showed up at my door.

Raised by guardians in Philadelphia, the Brinkman sisters have suddenly been bequeathed more than the truth about their late, estranged father - they've also inherited the Five Sisters Ranch, the dynasty he'd built for them in Eden, Colorado. It's theirs on one condition: to claim it, they must live on it for six months - a wilderness worlds away from the comforts of the city. For Belle Brinkman, her father's last wish could fulfill a dream she never knew she had.

Gabe Alexander is the devil. Or an angel. He's the worst kind of bad news, but every time he touches me, and whispers filthy, beautiful things in my ear, all I want is more. More of his kiss, his touch, and the dangerous, seductive things he makes me feel. I don't want to break the rules, let alone the law, but the man makes it feel so damned good. Caitlin is everything I never knew I needed. But I'm not just bad for her - I'm toxic. If I stay, I'll destroy her, but I can't keep my hands to myself.

The most beautiful man I've ever seen is the same one who can ruin everything. The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know he'll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent, and thousand-dollar shoes, he's just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants. And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncle's estate. I can't afford either one. I'm the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system.

Until she laid eyes on Eric Larsson, and then it was lust at first sight. He packed the perfect mix of smoldering sexy and unapologetic cool into his blond-haired, blue-eyed, ridiculously hot six-foot-four frame.

Teeming with suspicion and intrigue, this Grand Teton adventure leaves listeners struggling with the Christian principle of forgiveness in the face of emotional entanglements, fears of the heart, and the inevitable agony of love.

this story is very important for people to listen to and to understand what is going on. so if you are going to be distracted please listen to another book and then listen to this one when you can give it your attention. the girl in the story just wants to be loved by her family but every time she tried she got disappointed. a guy comes into her life and tries to show her what love is all about but she is hesitant to let anyone else into her heart. lived this story and the narrator was awesome.

It was OK!
On one of serenity‘s worst days of her life, she needs William. He is a real knight in armor and feels a pool towards serenity that he has never felt before. He not only helped her get a new job, but seems to always be there for her. She has trouble trusting people due to growing up in foster care, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with William. I thought this book was good, but I have to be honest and say I wasn’t the biggest fan of serenity. She had a strange personality and one I couldn’t connect with. Her emotions seem to be all over the place. For example she didn’t even want William to take her out to eat because she had no money and couldn’t pay for herself Ian that was something she was private about and then others she was open about… I just couldn’t get a handle on her personality. Having said that though I listen to the whole book and was happy with the ending, I think because I couldn’t connect with serenity maybe that’s why it wasn’t as happy as I thank it was supposed to be. To each his own bill and you may connect with her and think this was an awesome story, whereas I just thought it was good.

Family. Disappointment. Love
Serenity & William...I'm glad they have each other. I enjoyed this story and could relate to everything Serenity went through. Her life was a little turbulent due to childhood struggles. But I love how she loved "family" despite what she went through and her search for her father. The narrator wasn't bad although was a little bland. I was going to give 4 stars but I decided 5 because of the way the story ended. I like the feeling it gave me and I smiled.

Leaving the Pieces Behind
Serenity hasn’t had an easy life, but she’s not giving up. Just when everything seems to be at its bleakest, a Good Samaritan steps in…
I really love seeing how R.M. Demeester’s characters grow and adapt. There were definitely some strong emotions that came out.
I thought Bailey Johnson did a fine job with the narration.

family drama and a hea
So, while I think the storyline was good, it was at time repetitive. I think the biggest difficulty for me on this one was the narration that was so monotone it made the actual story and characters hard to follow much less relate to. Our main characters are Serenity & William. I love how they met, I love William thru and thru - the perfect guy (too perfect, maybe?!?). I have a hard time finding good things to say about Serenity's character. I do think she had a difficult childhood and overall she seems to have come out the other end well if not for being a bit of a loner (not sure how William managed to get thru). Full of family dynamics and trouble but a HEA in the end...

Emotion
The story is very emotional, the main character Serenity has gotten the short end of the stick for her whole life. She does not trust easy so she is distant from everyone. Her family uses her. Until one day she meets man. He turns out to be someone she was in foster care with. She lost her job had no money and the rent was due her roommates kept asking her for money for the groceries and the rent. What does end with a happy ending but it is a ride.

What a fabulous story!
What a fabulous story! I listened to this audible book - and was totally floored, not just with the story, but the "reasons" that the author used to make the story and why the character is the way she is! The author did a fantastic job writing this story so that not only do you enjoy the story but your mind is allowed to figure/assume or think of the "what ifs" and the since it is also written in what could be "current day" and a life that a real person very well could have, it was nice to read about something that really could happen and a person that is in that situation. This allows the reader to feel what the main character is feeling.
Serenity is just a working-class, hourly-paid 24-year-old woman who was brought up in foster care and pulled in and out of families, along with her brother and sister and is literally living paycheck to paycheck with nothing in between - just barely surviving. No family, no friends and just getting laid off her job. She is on her own trying to make ends meet. So many things happen in the story, and with every issue or event that happened, I found myself coming up with questions as to why it happened and who did it, etc.
Out of the blue, she literally bumps into William - middle-class businessman who offers to buy her a coffee a few times then seems to just be there when she gets mugged - I was thinking "William set it up for her to be mugged and is trying to "recruit" her up for something bad". Then I thought, "is he her father? Is that really his job or is it a disguise?" things like that. Then things settle and my assumptions was wrong and things are calm for a bit and then BAM! Something happens to her and the thinking starts again which keeps the reader really involved in the story! Never a dull moment! She has issues with her estranged sister, estranged brother, her mother, her past, and trying to explain her emotions to William. And of course, who is her father? Is he a crime lord or a high-powered Senator, neither of which wants to have her tarnish their reputation? And what about the secrets her mother has been keeping from her? So many possibilities!
I don't want to give any spoilers so I will end it by saying - the story was really good, but the REASONS Serenity was as she was, were what I think the author used to make the story even better and more emotional. Serenity has to come to terms with her past and separate the positive things that made her the strong, independent, hard-working, hopeful woman she is today, while "leaving the pieces behind" that have caused her to fall, fail and continually hinder her ability to move ahead in life and make a future for herself.

what is the purpose?
it's the third book of R.M. Demeester that I've read lately, and I'm saddened to say that I couldn't find anything I liked in this one, while the two others received 5 stars reviews.
I did not like the main character - she was whiny and he was simply not interesting.
I did not understand the need for this story - could not figure out what the author's message was supposed to be.
The narrator sounded tired, or as if she did not understand the purpose of this book.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
