This is June’s story which is very touching and not the gold
digger that the blur makes her sound. She does have a very big secret that
could not only destroy her life but the love that she has with the man she
loves. Dutch is still the hateful man he
has always been and if he finds out what she is hiding it might be bye bye for
his son if Dutch gets to him first.
Ms. Kelly does an outstanding job with the narration in this
story. She gives you a smooth clean and clear audio that pulls you in as she painting
a picture you have no trouble picturing the hurt, anger and sorrow. I really
enjoyed her character voices, you have no trouble knowing who is talking and
what they are feeling. The confusing and excitement along with the anger comes
through very clear. Her tones are even, there was no background noise or any
places where the volume changed it one steady listen. Her male voices are just
as good as her female ones. I had no trouble picturing and feeling June’s
anger, hurt, sorrow as all she wants is being taken away along with the excitement
as they play out and the disappointment when they don’t always turn out as June
wants.
I was hoping to learn more about Masie and her mother but
you only see her for a short time and nothing about the mother she so loves.
Masie’s brother JD has been and still is a sweet heart but that could change
with the flick of a tongue giving away things that are hidden. June’s whole
life is built on lies and when the truth comes out it will change her life
forever. Does she tell or keep things to herself?
I thought the author would go one way but she took the story
down a different route which was very entertaining. I am disappointed I thought
this book would pick up where the last one left off but we are still hanging on
what happens to Masie and her love. I really felt sorry for June’s family even
though she learned this practice from a very young age it still could not have
been easy for them. If I say anymore it will give the story away. It was a good
read/listen it was nice to get to know June and JD better but again you are
left with tons of question and no answers. Maybe the author will bring it all
in focus giving us the whole story and an ending that has closure. I was disappointed
but keeping an open mind until I see where the next book takes us.
