Acclaimed, best-selling author Lori Wick’s The Proposal is a moving tale of Christ’s love at work in early 19th-century London. William Jennings is not married and likes it that way. But when a relative passes away, he is suddenly guardian of three young children. This unexpected development provides him a male heir without the bother of a wife, yet the children quickly become more than he can handle. Finding help from a truly remarkable woman, he learns to see the world in a completely different light.

What a nice break from the hot steamy sex stories. This was so easy to listen to; no angst or intrigue, just a sweet Christian novel .

What did you like best about The Proposal? What did you like least?

I love this series! I love Lori Wick! I have never read a book of hers that I haven't liked. However, the performance by Virginia Leishman left a lot to be desired. Now don't get me wrong, her style of reading was good for the most part, and the various voices that she used for the different characters was also good, it was the noises that she kept making with her mouth while she was reading that drove me insane. Every time she made one of those noise I wanted to cringe. At one point during this book, it got so bad that I almost gave up on the entire series when I realized she read all the books. The noises that she made almost sounded like chewing or like she was swishing the spit in her mouth around. It was just gross and I believe I will stick to reading these on Kindle from now on.

Who was your favorite character and why?

the oldest sibling… I forgot his name, but he is my favorite character. The wisdom and caring for his younger siblings is just astounding.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Virginia Leishman?

I'm not well-versed enough to have a good answer to this, but I'm not sure that anyone that didn't make those horrid noises with their mouths wouldn't be better.

Was The Proposal worth the listening time?

No, but not because of the story. The story was excellent. It was the performance that makes me say no.

I Loved the Book and despised the performance

The whole time I was listening to this book, I wondered if it was the author's first book. Story line was too simple, not much depth in both the characters or story. I MIGHT read the 2nd book in the series just to see if her writing technique has improved.

This is a wonderful book. It was the first Lori Wick book for me to "read". It will not be the last. Audible is quickly becoming my favorite. The narrator did a great job.

Great

Great story - I'm a big fan of Lori Wick's books

What didn’t you like about Virginia Leishman’s performance?

The narrator's inflections and timing make this painful to listen to. I couldn't even get through the first chapter. . .and I love this story, which says how bad it was.

Great book - poor reading of it

Wholesome reading. Main character realizes what’s really important in life. Like reading about how people thought about God in different eras.
