Melinda Jenkins seemed to have it all — a successful career as a lawyer, a fiercely independent spirit, and a carefully crafted life of solitude. But when a routine assignment leads her to a small bookstore on Main Street, Melinda's world is turned upside down.

As she delves deeper into the mysteries of the bookstore, she meets Jake Samuels — a charming and irresistible bachelor who challenges her beliefs about love and independence. Melinda must make a heart-wrenching choice: cling to her solitary life or take a leap of faith and embrace the love she never thought possible.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and explore the mysteries in Once Upon a Bookstore, a novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The virtual voice was awful. I stopped listening to the book because of it. You cannot tell between when other characters should be talking or the story is just being narrated. This was disappointing as the story seemed interesting. I just couldn’t get past the voice
