Home by Morning

A Sister's Betrayal

Jessica comes home for a visit, she is now a doctor on her way to accept a job in Seattle, when a plague breaks out and there is no doctor in town to help. The plague is virulent, and strikes all age groups. Cole appears to be the one in town whom everyone turns to for answers, it seems that the town thinks he has been “keeping company” with Jessica’s sister, and it’s up to him weather Jessica stays and ministers to the towns people.
The story is memorable, gives you a glimpse of how things were out west during WWI, and the settlement of those cities.

The narrator did a very good job. I really enjoyed her reading.

So Sweet

What did you love best about Home by Morning?

I love a good love story and this story did promise the sweetest tale of two people in love, but trying to hard to do the right thing.

What does Amy Rubinate bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator was awesome in bring the story to life I have actually listened to it twice now.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This story made me cry and it also made me research the history of that time era.

Any additional comments?

This is a great story to listen to.

Hard to finish

Worst narrator I've listened to. Very melodramatic. Made the book hard to finish. Do not recommend.

If you could sum up Home by Morning in three words, what would they be?

Grabbed my attention

Which character – as performed by Amy Rubinate – was your favorite?

Jessica

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I read this right after finishing 50 shades thinking nothing would compare to that series as I loved them so much that I reader them twice back to back and when done I started looking for something to grab my attention again I started many different books to stumble across this book and fell just as much in love with this story line! Excellent book and hope for more to come!!

Not my typical book, but I liked it!

I bought the book because it was on sale and sounded okay. Then I put off reading it because I didn't think I would like it. But once I started, I really got into it! The story line is interesting and there are some twists that I really wasn't expecting!

DNF..

I’ve read 9 of Ms. Harrington’s books but I can’t read this one. I like Jessica but her sister, Amy, is just so self-centered and selfish, the opposite of her sister. I like Cole, too. BUT I can see its going to take the entire book to get past the angst and misunderstanding and lies. 329 pages of nothing but that is just too much. PLUS, there’s going to be sex and not an ounce of anything that leads up to it. No thoughts of even a kiss between the two, nothing. Then suddenly they’re going to jump into bed? No thanks! AND if you read the blurb of the next 2 books you know how this one ends. That’s just silly.

BIG SPOILER
Another reason I won’t be moving on to the next book, or finishing this one (at page 127) is because you met Riley, Cole’s brother, in this book. Not just a page or two but page after page, chapters spent in France where he was in the war, in the rain, in the trenches, sleeping on the wet ground, joking with his men, looking out for them. THEN the author kills him off. I can’t read a book that spends so much time with a secondary character, makes you get to know him and like him, and then the author feels the need to kill him off so another man can have his wife. That’s not for me.
END SPOILER

As to the narrator: You can certainly tell this book was narrated in 2012 because the narrator barely tries to make the hero sound manly, and fails, and the other males in the book not at all. She read without emotion, no whispers, no raising her voice in anger, no crying, no nothing. So, no, I can’t recommend the audible version of this book. Even free it’s not worth it.

Loved it!

A true romance and love story. It's about love lost and found, commitment and endurance, and most importantly second chances and forgiveness!

The narrator was great as well. I highly recommend it. I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series

good story

good story, reminded me of how difficult people had it prior to antibiotics, romantic but serious.
