Publisher's summary

Everything she lost: If her abusive husband hadn't tried to kill her and her beloved dog Lucie, Helen Ward might never have left her million-dollar home and run far away. Now Helen's changed her identity and moved across the country, hopeful that she can be safe, happy, maybe even loved. And when she meets college professor Sam Tolliver, she begins to believe fairytales do come true.

Gave her everything she ever wanted: But even with love blossoming and her new online business venture taking off, Helen knows that the past is catching up with her...and her fear is growing. Wanting to flee, desperate to get away for good, she'll soon face the biggest decision of her life, a decision that will determine her future and her very identity.

What You Wish For

The beginning is hard to hear but the rest of the story is worth your time. Almost a fairy tale ending!

Too...much

I am not sure if it's the narrator or the book but the whole thing was a lot for me to listen to. The story is about a woman in her 30's but the narrator's voice is much older than that so it was very hard for me to picture this book in my head.

The readers voice

The overall Story was great, I wish they would’ve elaborated on Daniel’s punishment for being an abuser. The readers voice was a turn off. She sounds older than the character!

Narrator was awful for this book

The storyline was not terrible, although a bit slow to get into. The main character was very whiny. Ultimately, it is the narrator that was the worst part. She is not the right narrator for this book. The main character is supposed to be 28 years old. The narrator sounds elderly. Also, always sounds like she has something in her mouth? Dentures? Dry mouth?

What You Wish For

I loved this book and every character including the dogs. Narrator’s voice almost threw me off but decided to listen anyway! Turns out she is the perfect person to read this book. She has the ability to voice each character as you might imagine them to sound! Great job on the overall performance! I’m really glad I listened!

Lots of noises

I didn’t like the background noises from the narrators . You can hear them clear their throats, and make noises with their mouths, like they need a sip of water . It’s very distracting.
