What a touching heartbreaking story of one man who did an
act of kindness only to lead to guilt and a proposal he really didn’t want to
do. This is a clean read about love,
honor and putting others before yourself that leads to heartbreak, loneliness and
love only to have to walk away from it. The ending is a HEA but as the story
builds you have to wonder if it will end with everyone getting what they want.
It is anyone’s guess how many will end up with a broken heart. Sometimes what
we think we want we find we really do not. Will these people come to understand
their true feelings before they wreck so many lives?
Ms. Woodworth’s
really brought this story to live for me as she pulled me in using emotion
filled with sorrow, anger, hurt and pain along with excitement, danger and
thrills. I had no trouble picturing the events as they unfold. Her character
voices are wonderful as she held me spellbound from Travis and his guilt to his
friend and his broken heart along with Evaline and how it
all comes together. There are no volume changes, no background noise or
any repeating of words. If any breaks were taken I could not tell. Her male
voices were just as good as her female voices, you have no trouble knowing who
is talking and just what they are feeling. Her character voices are just great
as well as her normal voice is very pleasant and easy to listen to. The
narrator really pulls you into the story giving you emotions that really reach
your heart. You can feel the uneasiness of the characters as they work through
the emotions of guilty, lose, and hope, facing the outcome and the heart break of
what needs to be done. Ms. Woodworth’s has no trouble pulling off this very
emotional listen that captivates you and holds your attention.
I really liked the characters, the story, the twists and the
outcome. Each has their own dreams, hopes and fears. The plot has a nice
buildup from the friendship to what is expected as well as the love of so many.
One man torn from doing the right thing and doing what he wants. One women who
thinks she wants something but as time goes by she isn’t sure and another women
willing to step back and let her heart break to give the other what she thinks
is right. It truly is a shame that in today’s world we do not live by the same practices
of honor and doing the right thing. We spend too much time thinking about what
we want and less about the other person. We could all learn a wonderful lesson
from the words in this story. I liked how Travis’s best friend laid down the
law but when it came down to it he went that extra mile to help out. I can’t
wait to listen to his story, I really hope he finds his true love. The
supporting characters add so much to the story line. I enjoyed the humor and at
times laughed or times I really felt the pain or sorrow. From the author to the
narrator this was a win, win listen for me.
