Against All Odds

Ember Falls, Book 3

By: Corinne Michaels

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Robert Hatchet

When my ex-husband leaves me for the co-star in his movie, moving back to Ember Falls feels like my only option. Everett Finnegan, my first love and the man I’ve never forgotten, is ready to welcome me with open arms…and an open bed. But when I find out I’m pregnant with my ex’s baby, my entire world is upended. My ex doesn’t want the baby, but I plan to rebuild my life as a single mother, and figure out how to handle all of this alone.

Except that I don’t seem to be alone—Everett always shows up for me. I don’t expect him to get mixed up in all my drama—not when he has his own. And I wish he would listen to me when I say we have to stop whatever it is we’re doing. But he wants me, the baby, and my heart.

So when I’m forced to return to California sooner than planned, I’m devastated.

Everett can’t leave Ember Falls, and I can’t stay. Saying goodbye to him the first time was hard enough. This time, it just might break me.

Healing and Strength from Love

Written and acted/narrated with such skill that I was compelled to yell at the one acting badly, hope for the HEA and chuckle aloud at the light moments!

Refreshing

Love the duet style. Also while I love a good slow burn it was nice these two jumped right in to it and were also honest with each other from the get go. Some other can be a frustrating part of the storyline for me so it was nice to not have so much of that in this book. This whole series has been great, can’t wait for the next one!

Such a great story

This is such a great story! The second chance lovers and hs sweethearts…. Le sigh! Plus Everett is a dream and such an amazing man stepping up immediately!!! I just loved this story so much

Corinne Michaels…. I loved this!

I loved this book! And the narrators! There are no words to say how much I loved this! Parts of it reflect myself.. so I was enthralled from the start. These characters are so relatable and the way the narrators bring them to life perfectly.

I want more and can’t wait to continue the Ember Falls series.
