How the Lady Was Won by Shana Galen

How the Lady Was Won
by Shana Galen
★★★★★
Another addition to the Survivors series from
This one is Colins story. He has been known 
among the Survivors as the Pretender. 
He finds himself in a situation where these
skills work well! 
Lady Daphne has been Colins wife for 7 years. 
Though she almost didn't even know it. 
They had their very forgettable honeymoon night.
And then, Colin was gone. 
Now, Daphne knows he is back in town. Even 
though she has yet to see anything of him. 
They are both fabulous characters to read. 
The story is different. Neither Colin or Daphne
have been sleeping around in their separation.
That alone is unusual. 
They both have insecurities. Will either of them
admit their feelings? Will Colin be able to accept 
that he must let down his guard? Can Daphne
take her rightful place in society? What does 
37 bows have to do with anything?
I have found How the Lady Was Won to be
a wonderful story. Great, big feelings.
Very unique characters. I enjoyed it 
very much.

Hope Harbor by Irene Hannon - Audio version

Hope Harbor
by Irene Harbor
Audio Version
★★★★★

Irene Hannon is a new author for me. I was
searching for an audio book narrated by
Therese Plummer. She is a favorite of mine.

Hope Harbor is the story of Michael and Tracy. 
Each of them have such big stories. 
I think they both were just looking 
for a quiet place. 
Tracy and Michael both need something. But they
think it's easier to stay where they are in their lives.
But of course, love wont let you hide behind
your fear. People in Hope Harbor wont let you
hide either.
With one twist and then a turn and then another.....
They find life can be open and free. 
I enjoyed the surprises in Hope Harbor. 
Things I did not see coming.

The Country Guesthouse by Robyn Carr - Audible version

The Country Guesthouse
by Robyn Carr
Audio Version
★★★★★

The Sullivans Crossing area brought to life by
Robyn Carr is expanding! Favorites like campground
boss, Sully, and his lovely writer friend, Helen, are
here and a big part of The Country Guesthouse

Owen is a Sullivans Crossing resident. A photographer
that happily roams the world. But he has built a 
wonderful house to live in when he isn't roaming. 
Owen rents the house when he is away. 
Hannah has rented the house for a long relaxing
vacation. She has just become the guardian to Noah.
The 5 year old son of Hannahs best friend. Hannah 
hopes to use this vacation time to help Noah cometo terms
 with his loss. He is also dealing with Cerebral Palsy. 
She is hoping  for the two of them to 
become a team. To make a small family. 
Owens trip was cancelled so he is staying in the 
guesthouse behind the big house. Hannah and Noah
meet Owen and his dog, Romeo. It's immediate 
friendship. There is drama. There are crisis 
situations. The Country Guesthouse is filled with 
emotions across the board. Through it all,
there is friendship and maybe love. 

Therese Plummer is the narrator. She is always
marvelous to listen to. I am not sure what it is 
about her. But I always enjoy her.
