A Ladys Dream Come True by Grace Burrowes

A Lady's Dream Come True
by Grace Burrowes
★★★★★
Grace Burrowes always writes a long book. Her stories
always seem to be longer than the number of pages
or the number of words. There is so much in them. 
Every character is large. The places and situations.
You get to know so much. The characters are deep
and you can picture them. They are easy to see. 
Oak Dorning knows exactly what he is doing. He has a 
plan. He has talent. He has ambition. Oak was born an
artist. He thinks there is nothing else for him to be 
but an artist. He knows the plan to achieve success
as an artist. 
Verity Channing has no sort of plan at all. Her life is not
going as she wants it to. Though she isnt just sure how 
to alter that path. She is a widow with just enough to
raise her son. But she will also be raising a daughter 
left behind by her husband. Verity has to figure how to 
stretch her budget to make that work without hurting
anyone. Her husband lead Verity to believe he left 
treasure behind for her. Oh boy, did he ever! 

A Ladys Dream Come True is a wonderful story. You will
get to know so many people. Not just Oak and Verity. 
The feelings and struggles that life brings are laid out. 
And then step by step, the pieces fall together, just 
as they should. Of course. With a lovely sweet
happily ever after.

Hannah's List by Debbie Macomber - Audible version

Hannah's List
by Debbie Macomber
Audible version


I cannot begin to imagine where Debbie Macomber gets all her ideas from. Every book has its own feel. There is no standard potion for her stories. Hannah's List is part of a series. I have not read any of the others, yet. But it was not necessary to completely fall head over heels into this story.
A year after his wifes passing, Dr Michael Everett is given a letter from her.

She expresses her final wish is for Michael to make a new life for himself.
To find a new love. In that direction, she has made her own list.
A list of three women that Hannah knows. She believes each woman has something that may appeal to him. Hannah directs him to make the effort to meet and get to know each of them.
It's an interesting journey for Michael and all three of the women on Hannahs List. This story is so full of love and romance. And many surprises. Could Hannah know how meeting these women might direct Michael to change his life entirely? Maybe these women are or are not meant for him. Who knows where this request from Hannah will lead him.

To make it all even better, the narration is wonderful. 
Fred Stella did a great job. Personally, I prefer a male voice for
most romance listening. Fred is the perfect type
male voice for this kind of story. 

I bought my audio copy of Hannah's List
from Audible.com
