Light entertainment

This book was exactly what I needed at the time. Overall it is upbeat and entertaining. It doesn’t require much of the listener. It was a welcome distraction during a stressful time. The narration is good, the story is sweet but predictable.

Loved it!

A well-written, romantic escape during the Coronavirus quarantine. Loved the magical feel of this story! Now, what on Earth did those two elderly sisters put in their coffee? LOL!

Simple, Sweet Story

This is the type of story I usually avoid, but I enjoyed it - maybe I am in a subdued mood. A 36 year old publication executive on temporary assignment in Texas finds herself at a crossroad, figuratively and literally. Laura stumbles onto an old fashioned setting in the Lone Star Cafe, which sits at a crossroad used to detour around a bridge closure on the highway, at time when she questions her life's direction.

The story revolves around Laura's inner struggles as she faces personal challenges that her obsession with work cannot keep buried. She falls in love, very quickly, with a local man who has a very different background from her own. There is no bad guy chasing her or hot love scenes, but neither is there over dramatization, silly dialog, or meaningless bedroom scenes. This is a simple, straightforward story of nice people doing their best in life.

The writing is sound, which saves the tame plot. The performance is excellent.

Feel Good Story

Nice story that was a pleasure to listen to. The ensemble of characters were relatable and fun. The narrator was good, but seemed a bit unrealistic when trying to do voices for other characters other than Laura. Still, I would recommend it.
The story does have a good life lesson.

Sweet but too predictable 

Lisa Wingate always waves a lovely story with great characters, each with their own distinctive mark.
