About this listen
Kennedy Donovan loved living in the city. But when a mysterious envelope arrives in the mail describing her new inheritance from an estranged uncle, she finds herself in the Alaskan bush country facing more than just snow. Family secrets, life-threatening blizzards, and the potential for love. Does Alaska offer Kennedy more than her life in New York?
Adam Stockton moved to McCarthy, Alaska, at 15 years old. Thanks to Neal Donovan, he’d grown up and adjusted well to the Alaskan frontier. But when Neal’s long-lost niece shows up to claim her inheritance after Neal’s passing, Adam finds himself potentially losing his last tie to Neal as well as his heart.
Can he show Kennedy that life in McCarthy is worth sticking out?

But as soon as she grows comfortable with the idea of a new relationship, Nathan’s work takes him on an extended assignment and Lina is left fulfilling the remainder of her date commitments with even less enthusiasm.

Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything.

Nestled in the mountain shadows of Alabama lies the little town of Wicklow. It is here that Anna Kate has returned to bury her beloved Granny Zee, owner of the Blackbird Café. It was supposed to be a quick trip to close the café and settle her grandmother’s estate, but despite her best intentions to avoid forming ties or even getting to know her father’s side of the family, Anna Kate finds herself inexplicably drawn to the quirky Southern town her mother ran away from so many years ago, and the mysterious blackbird pie everybody can’t stop talking about.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Meghan Kelly is a talented narrator and versatile voice artist. She performs the voices for all the characters, gives each their own distinct sound which makes it easy to follow along and tell who is who. She portrays each character with perfection, grasps each persona then takes the role and makes it her own. Her take on Kennedy was spot on, as was her take on Adam. She sets the perfect tone for the story, captures all of the characters emotions and projects them in to her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

The narrator did a delightful job delivering a delightful listen, with wonderful character voices that blended great with the characters. I really could picture them in my mind, she gives wonderful emotions that you can really feel how the characters feel. I had no trouble knowing who was talking and what they were feeling. When Kennedy rolled her eyes and through snowballs I could picture it in my mind and had to laugh. There was no background noise, no repeating of words, no volume change just a very clear audio that I totally enjoyed. I really enjoy the narrators voice, it is pleasant, but strong, caring but she knows how to draw out the thrills, and even a chill. She makes it easy to picture the story in your head, she made me laugh and chuckle. Really bring the story to life. Ms. Kelly knows how to deliver an audio that keeps you hanging on with true emotion that gives you a delightful listen that you enjoy and can’t put down.
Once I started it I couldn’t put it down, looking up a was in shock when it said midnight and the story was over. I was sad for it to end, I really wanted to hear more about this town and their people. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the series, (not sure when I will find time to read) but did added all of this authors audio to my wish list do buy later. This is a well blended story of hope, caring, love, with true emotion that will touch your heart. It is sad but at the same time happy. You can’t help but smile, laugh and chuckle as your heart breaks a little, filled with a big surprise that blends well with the story line. The author and narrator blend well together bring to life a wonderful story of companion, finding yourself, healing old hurts, a little danger, sorrow, love but most of all bring a town together. It is a wonderful, delightful sweet romance that you won’t be able to put down.
Delightful, feeled with true emotion
