Tears. What a novel!

This book was better than the first book, in my opinion. Maybe because the dynamic between the heroine and her father is so similar to mine. What happened between them in the end brought me to tears.

I also enjoyed so much the relationship between the main characters. It was refreshing not to have so much turmoil between two people you want together. I hope I haven't said too much there.

I love the narrator's voice; the only thing that is a drawback is that she doesn't differentiate voices enough and you have to use context to figure out who is talking at the moment. But her voice is soothing and matches the tone of the book very well.

Overall, this book was an awesome "read!"

Deep...

Wow! Where to start? I first listened to Hope Blooms by this author and it just didn't really move me. Well that was not the same for this book!! This story moved me on too many levels. it was deep to say the least. There was love lost, love gained, forgiveness, stupidity, PTSD, Rape, this list goes on. This was a spectacular listen, one that I definitely plan to listen to again. I hate that the book had to end.

More than just forgiveness.

This was a good story. Her resilience and her focus on her daughter helped her immensely. The connection and eventual love for Christian was just what she needed.

The narrator is the only one thing that I would change. She doesn't always convey the emotions needed when telling a story.

Extremely slow.

I had been hesitant to listen to this book after listening to Stay for Me while back. Although the storyline was good, the narrator was so dry and boring it made this a difficult book to get into. It didn't really pull me in until about chapter 16, mostly because of the narrator but the story itself was more drawn out than it needed to be or maybe it just seemed that way because of the narrator. Sometimes I couldn't tell who was speaking in the book because the narrator didn't create any difference in each characters voice at all. I think I would have liked it better if I'd read the book in print rather than listening to this audio version.

I Loved It!!!

This was an awesome story with awesome characters. The narrator did a great job....The setting in the military hospital was a good idea although I think rat face deserved more words thrown her way. I loved Christian and Georgia who was indeed a stubborn woman. She had more forgiveness than a lot of people considering her daddy who gave Christian folk a terrible name.It only took death standing at his front door to change him. I have qued up the next book as I type. I am so pleased with this story, five stars all the way!

this story was well written

I enjoyed the storyline and how Georgia's forgive nature. The book was better than the first book. More action and heartfelt.

What Era Is This

The concept for the story was great. Narrator tender but made story boring and historical.

Great read

The story starts a little slow but soon gets very interesting. I appreciated that the author didn’t give the characters unnecessary drama. There was just enough conflict threaded with real life to make it a great read. I wish the narrator had a southern accent for the female main character. It would have helped distinguish the two main characters better.

Very nice story.

The main female character is a little mushy and dim witted in a few scenes. The story took a few turns I did not expect which is a big plus for me. The narrator could have speeded things up; the slow pace drove me a bit crazy, otherwise she did a nice job.

good but drawn out.

The story was good but drawn out. I kept skipping chapters only to have to go back because I missed a good part in all the extra. The story really was good. It was just very slow moving.
