nice story but narrator

This had a decent plot. However, I had a hard time finishing it because the narrator sounds way to depressing and sad.

Good story bad narration

It took a long time to get into this story. The female reader sounded bored, and the male had terrible timing. Otherwise, it was a good story.

Maggie and Jackson's path to love

This book was amazing. I like to sum it up with a quote from the book. "Her strength, built from the ashes of hardship and loss had readied her for the most courageous act of all to love without reservation.

Good Read

Really enjoyed the story with multiple scenarios to unfold. Craig’s performance was great. Amanda has great potential if there was a bit more emotion to the performance. I felt she narrated more than performed.

Painfully hard to get through!

Do not waste your time or credit! Narration was terrible. Story was sappy and predictable.
