sister love knows no bounds . . . but

I loved revisiting Wildstone, CA. It was filled with family, friends, loves old and new, but this time there was something different about Wildstone.

Sometimes we just don't know where we belong. Sometimes we just need that one flicker of light to draw us back to the beginning. Sometimes that one hand held out as a lifeline will be what is needed to make you life feel whole again. All this an more was needed to make Brooke Lemon feel whole again.

Brooke was the Lemon sister that faced her life full speed with all abandon. That was until that day her world changed. Then she just ran and hide. She rarely ever returned back home to the place she grew up. She was not ready to face that past that had haunted her and sends her in to flashbacks at in opportune moments.

Mindy Lemon was the sister that had it all together. Or so that was what everyone on the outside thought until that day she was not all together. That was the day she and her sister realized that no mater what they were there for each other. And one sister would get the break she needed while the other sister when back to confront the life she left behind.

Jill Shalvis gives us the love, the sorrow, the pain of being a survivor of an accident, family separation, family responsibilities, family re-connection, and facing the past. Things were not easy but we get through it all.

Erin Mallon did a fab job with the voices in diction, pitch, tone and consistency. I loved the distinctions made with each character even with the children. There was no hesitation on what character was saying what. Clear. Clean. Concise.

Sweet story if forgiveness and family

The storyline was believable and modern. However, I really wish I had made this book a beach read instead of an Audible read. The narrator was extraordinarily annoying and I found it difficult to stick with the book as a result. I won’t give up on this author though.

Very good book

This is my first audiobook from Jill and it is awesome. Very real life stuff and Erin Mallon is the best at bringing books to life. Thanks for the book. I’m looking forward to more

Perfect, except for the narrator.

Please replace the narrator on any future Jill Shalvis books. I can't listen to this one ever again. Thank you.

A very disappointing book

I have read and listen to so many Jill Shalvis book, I’ve lost count and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Not this time! I must say that I was moderately disappointed in the story. It was slow and so very predictable. If I hadn’t paid my hard earned money for it, I probably wouldn’t have finished it. Also, I’ve listened to a lot of audible books but I found this performance almost painful to listen to. This is the first time I have ever written a full review but felt it necessary to let the powers that be, that in my humble opinion this book was sorely lacking. I’m just a reader with no special credentials but I certainly know when a book is boring and a narrator is lack luster. Thanks for your time, a devoted reader.

Exactly what I needed

Jill Shalvis never fails to deliver a fun, sexy light story. She’s the perfect one to read in between heavier books and especially needed in 2020.

So good

This is Jill Shalvis writing at its best. You laugh you cry you fall in love.
I am getting used to this narrator. Still not my favorite but this book shines like the amazing book it is.

Wish this had been better...

Cheesy. So very cheesy. The character conversations did not seem authentic. I even found myself rolling my eyes at certain points in this book.
