About this listen
**2017 Texas Association of Authors 1st Place: Romance Series**
Olivia Petersen thought her life ended the day her husband walked out. Little did she know, it had only just begun.
A good woman, mother, and wife, she's got it made. She didn't expect anything to change, but of course it does...
Swept from her perfect paper-doll life in Houston, Olivia finds herself in Chicago, alone, betrayed, and far from home. Soon everything she thought she knew about herself and her life will be challenged.
Ash Harper is the man who has everything--everything except healing from the losses of a lifetime and a dark family secret.
What happens when the married woman and the sexy handsome widower are thrown together by fate?
Out of the Box Awakening is a women's seasoned contemporary romance about second chances, shared passion and shared joy. Jennifer Theriot has written a compelling series about what happens when two people over the age of forty find new life and new love for themselves.
Recommended for readers over the age of 18. This book contains adult language and situations.

Britt-Marie can't stand mess. She eats dinner at precisely the right time and starts her day at six in the morning because only lunatics wake up later than that. And she is not passive-aggressive.

She finally walks out on her loveless 40-year marriage and finds a job in the only place she can: Borg, a small, derelict town devastated by the financial crisis.

Story
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Every so often a love story so captures our hearts that it becomes more than a story - it becomes an experience to remember forever. The Notebook is such a book. It is a celebration of how passion can be ageless and timeless, a tale that moves us to laughter and tears and makes us believe in true love all over again.... At 31, Noah Calhoun, back in coastal North Carolina after World War II, is haunted by images of the girl he lost more than a decade earlier.

Amazing
Wow...what an amazing book! This is the first book I have read by this author and it definitely won't be my last. This book will hook you from page 1. I couldn't put it down. The narrator was perfect for this. I just can't give this enough stars. If your looking for a book that isn't like every other one out there then I strongly recommend this!

Love Multiplied
This is a wonderful story of love lost and gained. Olivia is given the 'opportunity' to come into her own and grab life by the horns when her husband leaves her. Me being the hopeless romantic, before listening, hoped they would get back together, but after an hour into the book I was hoping for anything but that.
I have to say that the author, Jennifer Theriot, did a great job of weaving a feeling of fulfillment and a sense of love around the main and secondary characters. There were a lot of instances to learn as Olivia gained the self-confidence she'd been lacking. The author did a great job at developing Olivia's character and allowing the listener to get to know her.
I enjoyed the fact that this was a love story with mature characters that still had a lot of life to live. I also liked the fact that the author showed as much attention in the love the main characters had for each other as they had for their families and friends. I believe it rounded out the storyline.
I'm so glad I got the audio version of this book because there were so many wonderful surprises, but I'm not going to give them away.
This love story was well written and well rounded. Great job Jennifer Theriot.

Excellent all the way!
Where does Out of the Box Awakening rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Amazing story, between two people that are in a 'difficult' age to re start their lives, as we are used to reading about younger couples, this book makes the difference because its characters are 'older' but still awesome and fall in love and make things happen. The first book I've listened to, from Jenniffer Theriot and narrated by Triera Holley.
I received this audiobook for an honest review and I really want to say YOU SHOULD ALL READ it out there it is ABSOLUTELY wonderful!.
Thanks a lot for this book!!1

A Wonderful Story!
I absolutely loved this audiobook. The term awakening was so perfect for Jennifer Theriot's second chance love story about Olivia. What her husband did to her was awful but that led Olivia to her awakening in her life, her self, and her love. I can't do this book justice with my words here, other than Jennifer was able to bring the story about Olivia and Ash and their families to life that I was not ready to let them go when the book was finished.
Triera Holley did a tremendous narration for this audio. Her voice was perfect for Olivia and her age, and every other character she had to narrate in this story!

Heartwarming story!
I loved this book! This second chance story is about two mature people with children who are thrown together after her husband leaves her. Olivia and Ash are so perfect together. A sweet story with some sexiness in it. The narrator, Triera Holley did a wonderful job.

Beautiful second chance story
This is my first Jennifer Theriot's book. It's a beautiful second chance and life change story. Heartwarming, HEA and no cliffhanger. Olivia and Ash are so perfect together. The narration is also very good! I'm looking forward for other books from this author.

Out of the box
This story is about a late life journey and starting over. The story is well written with some great complex characters! I can't imagine moving someone such a great distance only to end your relationship. What a jerk. Olivia handles this all with such grace I just love her character! I love the song in the narration very nice touch! Great job on narration!
