I really enjoyed this audio from the
author to the narrator both add so much with a lot of passion. There are many
serious issues being dealt with that your heart goes out to so many of these
characters. I thought this was written in a very touching, caring way that
really was done with class. The author gives you a compelling story of a lady
with a very checked past trying to outrun it when the lower class won’t let her
she runs away so she doesn’t bring the fall out to her employers. You have a
man who had a bad accident and in so much pain that he can hardly move who turns
to drinking and drugs to help ease the pain. With a family who wants to support
him but only sees he in a downward spiral. Everyone thinks the pain is in his
head that if they can get in off the drugs and his drinking he will get better.
From here we go through the steps to bring him around with the help of Emma
hopefully he will get the help he needs to bring back the old lovable cowboy he
use to be.
Ms. Gilbert does a wonderful job of
narration from the passion she puts into the read to the powerful emotion she
brings to it. She really hits each emotion right on the money giving the
listener the full effect of how serious and important the issue is along with
how each character is feeling with their pain, sorrow, loss, helplessness and
the smiles you can hear in her voice. There are no background noises if any
breaks were taken you could not tell. I really enjoyed her many different
character voice from her deep rich male to her soft sexy female one. You have
no trouble knowing who is talking and just what they are feeling. Listening to
the narrator it was so easy to picture what they were going through as each
character has their own feelings on Joseph problems. But what if they are wrong
the narrator really bring in the powerful feeling and emotion of self doubt.
Ms. Gilbert gives you a clear, clean, crisp audio that pulls you in as the
characters take over giving you a story you can’t put down. I really love how
her emotions show through her tones really giving the listener a compelling
audio. I can’t wait to listen to more of her work.
Emma has been down the road that
Joseph is going on she was hooked on drugs along with doing things she really
didn’t want to when she was in need of a fix. She has finally gotten out of the
life and is living a clean clear life. People from her old life isn’t willing
to let her go so easy, then things get out of hand where she works she decides
it is time to move on. There is a lot going on in this part of the story that
really has the reader hooked to know the outcome. This is where things get
really interesting when she goes to help Joseph get through his ordeal with
some powerful emotions. Emma is such a sweet soul, she is kind and caring
someone you would be proud to call a friend. You can see the ordeal she has went
through to get clean and stay that way. This is one lady that deserves her HEA
she went through enough it is time to see her smile, laugh and in love.
All the characters really grabs your
heart touching it in ways you won’t believe. Out of all of them the one that
really gets into your soul is Joseph. There is no way you can read this and not
know how much pain and sorrow he is dealing with. I found myself really just
wanting to reach him pull him out of the pages and really give him the TLC he
needs to get all well. He is driven to an addiction to deal with the pain.
There is little doubt he is in pain but is it from the accident or his need of
more drugs and booze?
This is a book I couldn’t put down
from the start the author pulls you in as she twist her way through each
character and their issues. One man is down but it affects his whole family and
how they deal with the issues. It is really just a powerful lovely romance.
Watching these two work through the issues, leaning on the other and watching
their budding romance just warms your heart. There might be a place or two that
moves a little fast but it is a very short sweet listen that you are so totally
hooked it seems to all work. I am not sure how I started with book 3 but I will
sure have to go back and listen to the other ones in this series. I know I have
made is seem all down but there is some wonderful humor here that will make you
smile. You can really hear the smiles and laughter coming right off the pages.
I really enjoyed this listen. It is truly a series you do not want to miss.
