Summary

Early in her life, Josephine Malone learned the hard way that there was only one person she could love and trust: her grandmother, Lydia Malone. Out of necessity, unconsciously and very successfully, Josephine donned a disguise to keep all others at bay. She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept herself distant. While Josephine was trotting the globe, retired boxer Jake Spear was living in the same small town as Lydia. There was nothing disguised about Jake. Including the fact he made a habit of making very bad decisions about who to give his love. But for Josephine and Jake, there was one person who adored them. One person who knew how to lead them to happiness. And one person who was intent on doing it. Even if she had to do it as her final wish on this earth.

im one of KA's biggest fans and I loved this book but sadly not the audiobook. The reader, for me personally, ruined jakes part by managing to make him 'sound' more like an old man rather than a vibrant sexy man. It's a shame as this story was lovely and both deserved happiness. but the audio sadly was more annoying than enjoyable. Very unhappy to review unfavourably. .but the audiobooks are expensive enough to buy, even with tokens, not to be honest in recommending or not recommending.

KA books are on my pre-buy list at all times. I always buy the kindle version first then the audio to use in my office and when I'm travelling.

This is the first book in a new series and involves a shy, damaged woman who lives behind a shield and the man her grandmother knew would bring that wall down. Jake and Josie meet for the first time at the funeral of her grandmother Lydia. Josie doesn't know how she has never met Jake and his kids when they were so involved in Lydia life.

Another great one from KA

I read this book 10 years ago and have read it often since. But I finally purchased the audiobook to go with it and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The depth of emotion this book portrays it’s absolutely brilliant and is a credit to the author. The narrator did an awesome job as well. Highly recommend this series.

Amazing book

Would you try another book written by Kristen Ashley or narrated by Hollis McCarthy?

I would definitely read more books by this author, unfortunately the narration lets it down badly.

If you’ve listened to books by Kristen Ashley before, how does this one compare?

First time I have read anything by this author.

Do you think The Will needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, the loose ends were tied up nicely.

Any additional comments?

On occasion the description of thoughts going through Josephine's mind were a little long winded and repetitive. Keeping it simple sometimes works best.

awful narration

All I can say is ‘WOW’. There were so many facets to this story and so many real issues. I loved how is all came together and the amount of love shared among not only the main characters but their friends and families (ie James’s kids) was breathtaking. The relationships between Josie and her Grandmother even after her Grandmother’s death is everlasting. Again - Wow!!!!

KA does it again. Wow.
