About this listen
When Samuel Walker proposes a marriage of convenience to Rose Hatfieldso soon after the death of his wife, she knows he doesn't love her. She's loved him since their school days. Those long-suppressed feelings spring to life as she marries him. She must sell her childhood home, quit her teaching job, and move to a new city.
Marrying Rose is harder than Samuel expected, especially with the shadow of his deceased wife everywhere in his life. And he has two young children to consider. Peter and Emma need a mother's love, but they also need to hold close the memories of their real mother as they grieve her loss.
Life as Samuel's wife is nothing like Rose hoped, and even the townspeople, who loved his first wife, make Rose feel like an outsider. The work of the farm draws the two of them closer, giving hope that they might one day become a happy family. Until the dream shatters, and the life Rose craves tumbles down around them. Only God can put these pieces back together, but the outcome may not look anything like she planned.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Real people read with inflection
This was a great story. I always enjoy stories from this author, but I will not likely listen to another AI-read book. There is no inflection or incorrect inflection in the voice and you can scarcely tell what character is speaking. It really detracted from the story so I have no interest in listening unless it's a real person reading it. This is a disservice to the author, who's books I otherwise always enjoy.

Keep me mad
I like this book. Some of the time, I was so upset with male character and wish that the female character will run away and see how his life would be without her. Shed a few tears. Yelled at the book a few times, as well as couldn’t understand some of the things that happened but in the end I was happy. Still can’t get used to the virtual voice but on this one, I slowed it down because sometimes I will get confused on who was speaking.

Outstanding character development
Yes, this is a romance novel, but it’s not really a romance novel. The author does a fantastic job of drawing the audience into the emotions of the characters. The discontentment and anxiety and insecurity and general emotional suppression of the main character Rose are so well presented that they’re palpable. She definitely needed some therapy about boundaries and clear communication; nevertheless I’m certain that was not available to her, but I digress. The point is, regardless of the virtual voice, I became completely emotionally involved with the characters because the author’s writing is superb. She created a steady build up of tension that made the book hard to put down. I love that she didn’t rush a resolution and allowed the characters to process and grow in a realistic way. So this book had no steamy scenes, no mysteries to solve, no greedy villains, no overt preachiness. Just a great story about people trying to work through their relationship problems and coming to terms with the acknowledgment and expression of their needs.

Just okay
Cute story if you have nothing better to listen to.
The AI was not that great. There is no voice change or inflation to show character change.
Gets very Godly towards the end. "We must pray on this." "Leave it in God's hands." and so on.

Good story flat performance
This sounded like a story that would be an interesting listen for a distraction during the day. The voice often got the context wrong and there was no “character” traits associated with the person being read.

I'm shocked
Until this book I've been totally against the ai narration. The fake narrations usually lack the emotion, voice highs & lows, character voice changes, etc. This narration lacked very little. the voices were great. The story itself was so sweet. Good read.

Sweet story, Horrible AI storytelling
I didn’t like the AI reading since it made the character dialog difficult to follow. The AI didn’t help to distinguish the different voices.

Narration
The computer narration was sometimes difficult as the intonation of voices was absent and some sentences seemed to run together.
