Historia
On a tiny island off Paradiso, Florida, in 1970, neighbors gather to toast two new arrivals: shy Catherine and her taciturn husband, Dr. Frank Overbrook, who is taking over an old friend’s medical practice. It’s an intimate welcoming for the newlyweds, who have abandoned city life for swaying palms and an ocean breeze. But the morning after is anything but peaceful when Frank is found dead on the beach.

Engaging Story
Revisado: 04-20-25
I liked the well drawn characters. Although there many introduced early, they were easier for me to keep up with as they were all quite different. I was disappointed in the epilogue.I found it long and mushy. The author’s notes added some context and insight.

No Complaints About This One
Revisado: 04-16-25
Julianne Maclean is one of my favorite authors. I have found her novels to be well written, well researched, and enjoyable, and without gratuitous sex or graphic violence. This book was no exception.

I Usually Love This Author’s Novels,
Revisado: 03-22-25
But it hard for me to enjoy it book when I dislike the main character for ninety-five percent of it.
As usual however, the characters were well drawn, the story flowed, and though it went from one time period to another, it was easy to follow.
I look forward to reading another Amanda Prouse novel.

Excellent Narration
Revisado: 02-09-25
The narration of a novel can make or break it for me. This was beautifully done.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. iLisa Wingate again took great pains with her research to present an accurate picture of the history and locations in Oklahoma at that time. Then she presented it in an entertaining way. The book did drag a bit for me in the middle.
I am very glad that I listened to it. I learned quite a lot.

Violent
Revisado: 01-22-25
Disappointing Matt Brolly novel for me. I don’t remember his stories being as violent nor as far fetched. I thought that the narrator did a good job with the characters, but her sing song voice in other places in the reading sometimes lulled me to sleep.

Historia
When her nineteen-year marriage ends, stay-at-home mom Effie Baker takes the first step into her new life with an extreme makeover.

I tried, but I couldn’t get past the narration. Every sentence was expressed dramatically, even when insignificant.
Plus I wasn’t encouraged to try with all the hoop-la about Patsy Kline,

Months after her mother passes away, artist Tillie Morrisey sees a painting in a gallery that leaves her inexplicably lightheaded and unsteady. When a handsome stranger comes to her aid, their connection is so immediate it seems fated, though Liam is only visiting for a few days.

A Bit Mystical
Revisado: 12-10-24
I enjoy most of Barbara O’Neal’s novels. Her skills with words is so lovely, that even stories that don’t particularly appeal to me become a pleasure to hear.
I almost didn’t listen to this one because at first the narrator’s style annoyed me. But, as the story developed she showed a remarkable ability to shift her voice smoothly for the different characters. She won me over from annoyance to appreciation.

Good story but there was a lot of repetition, un-needed details, and mushy trivia after what i thought should have been the ending.

Sweet Story
Revisado: 11-12-24
The narration was very good, except for the men’s voices which I felt we’re poor.
I enjoyed the story until the end. The ending wasn’t wrong, just way overly sweet and mushy.

Good Story, Well Told

An easy to read, feel good book with a kept-me-involved plot. There are still good novels written that don’t depend on excessive violence or gratuitous sex to earn readers.
