One Wish

by Robyn Carr

Audio version

This is number 7 in the Thunder Point series.

Running time 9 hours 58 minutes.

I have listened to most of the books in this series.

I have been enjoying them all. But this one, One Wish,
is easily my favorite. It's the best book I have listened
to in a while. I love audible books. They are 

very convenient for me.

Grace is a florist in Thunder Point. She works hard and loves

 the work she does. She is also great with people.

A skill that is helping her build her business. Funny thing is,

no one in town knows where she came from. How she got

to be here. And no one seems to wonder about it. Grace fits

into this town wonderfully. She is happy and friendly.

Troy is a teacher at the high school in town. He has a

reputation. A good one. Troy is great with the students.

When he is not working at the school, he enjoys his time off.

He enjoys an active life. He has decided that Grace does

not have enough fun. Appointing himself her fun coach, they

slowly settle into a relationship. Getting to know each other and

have a lot of fun while they are at it.

Neither Grace or Troy are looking for a permanent relationship.

Graces past is full of drama and is very complicated. She is

happy to keep it all in the past. But we don't always get to

decide these things. While Graces past comes to the present,

Troy is realizing he is all in with their relationship. But maybe

it's more than he can handle. 

Can Grace open up and allow someone new into her life circus?

Can Troy welcome someone new permanently into his feelings,

future and plans?
Grace is asking for help.  Something she has never done. Troy is

the guy that is always glad to help. But he isn't sure he can 

manage this.

Robyn Carr is a wonderful story teller. They lend themselves

very well to audio form. Therese Plummer always does a

wonderful job with the narration. She manages very well

making each character distinct and recognizable. Without

sounding ridiculous. Not all narrators can do that.  

I recommend her and this story.

A Girls Guide to Moving On by Debbie Macomber | Review

A Girls Guide to Moving On

by Debbie Macomber

Debbie Macomber is very popular and has been around

for a long time for a reason. Her books are wonderful.
She is a terrific writer. I cannot imagine where the

characters come from. They are always different.
Her stories don't seem to have a formula that she

follows all the time or anything. A Girl's Guide to

Moving On is exactly that. Storytelling at its best

Nichole and Jake have a child, Owen. They are divorced.
Leanne is Jake's mother. She is divorced from Jake's father,

Sean. The two women are very close. They support each other.

They each know where the other has come from. And Leanne

loves spending time with Owen. They live in apartments

across from each other in an active area of Portland.

The story is told from each of the women's viewpoints. It is 

the story of moving on. Just as the title says. I won't give 

away any more.  I will only say that its a wonderful story.
Its well written with a readers flow. Terrific characters.
As we all are, they are humanly flawed. I do recommend

this story to anyone, though I guess it does speak to 

women better.

I appreciate being able to get this copy from NetGalley.

Christmas at Copper Mountain by Jane Porter

Christmas at Copper Mountain

by Jane Porter

Audio version

 Harley Diekerhoff is recovering from the loss

of her family. The best way she knows how.
In peace and quiet, alone as much as possible.

Brock Sheenan is her boss and the perfect boss

for her. He likes to keep to himself. Brock is most

happy when employees just do their work and then

go on with their lives. Away from him.

Brock never mentioned children. Never asked if she

had children. Never said whether or not he had

children. He never said anything about children.
Then there is a knock at the door.
Surprise! He has children. Yes. Indeed he does.
Twins the same age the Harley's oldest child was.



 How does a person recover from such loss? How do

you make holidays work for your children?

We all have limits to how much we can take. How much

pressure. How much sadness. What do we do when we

reach our limit? When enough is enough.

This is a wonderful, joyful love story. It will touch

your heart. Quite likely, it will encourage you to

count your blessings.

Loretta Rawlins did a very nice job with the narration.

Steady rhythm. Easy to listen to.
