I really loved the plot and the story it really pulls you in
to the mystery of Julia who she really is, why does she needs a rich man and
who is Billy? She went from almost predator preying on a rich man to this
really sweet shy unsure woman. I really wanted to say would the real Julia stand
up. That really throw me I was expecting
her to come back as this really sassy lady who took control when she same back
as the shy sweet little thing. I am not saying this is bad it just throw me and
maybe me wonder if when she hit her head it may have changed her personality.
Mr. Jordan with his very talented voice blow me out of the
ballpark from his tones to his deep sexy male voice and his sweet females that
are sassy, sweet and just darling. His performance is outstanding as he pulls
deep inside to bring out the emotion each character is feeling bring to life a
very emotional story of deceit, family love and play games with people’s
emotions to save the one thing that is important to one family. If any breaks
where taken I could not tell, there are no background noises, no volume change
nor any repeating of words. It is a very clean and clear audio that the
narrator brings to life pulling on your heartstrings. You have no trouble
knowing who is talking and just what they are feeling. You can hear the anger, excitement,
and sorrow in his tones as he gives a compelling performance. This is the
second audio of his I have listened to, it was just as wonderful as the first.
I thought this was a very meaningful story that really hooks
you. There is a powerful message not only of God but of forgiveness which doesn’t
always mean you forget this is very true to our normal life. It made me really
wonder can you really forgive if you can’t forget. How can you forgive if the
past deed keeps going through your mind? I really liked how religion was bought
into it but isn’t the big part of the story. It is a story of deception it maybe
for a good cause but it still is dishonest. I really think Caleb would have
given the money had Julia been upfront in her defense she had no way of knowing
that. The author really makes one think how far and what will you do to save a
person you love. The only issue I had was the about face Julia did for me it just
wasn’t smooth. She wasn’t evil and she didn’t come across as a spoiled brat
just somewhere in between one minute she is so big, a little overpowering, she
comes across as a user out to get what she can and the next she was shy unsure
of herself. Besides that I thought it was a great story with a powerful message
and one that makes us step back and think about how we deal with issues.
From the first book Caleb stole my heart wanting a family so
much but with his disability making him feel that he would never find a woman.
I really thought he was going to turn to someone else but there is a twist in
the story which gets a little complicated. All in all it was a very enjoyable
listen full of heartbreak, lies, but the important part here is learning to
forgive, forget and get past so love can grow. It is learning to trust someone
who let you down, if you can get past that than you can work out anything.

Summary
Love! Julia Croft never thought she would actually fall in love with the man
she set out to mislead. Surely he would forgive her if he knew the truth. Could
he be so cold-hearted as to not see what her brother meant to her? Would he see
that it was a matter of life and death that brought her to this deceitfulness? Deceived! How could Caleb Armstrong, have allowed himself to be drawn into being enticed by a woman who merely used him? Now that he knew her ruse, he could easily rid himself of Julia Croft and her brother Miles. Surely there was a woman somewhere who could overlook his gimp leg. The most plaguing problem would be - could his heart ever forget her?
