Narrated by: Sophia Shu

Strong-willed Elaine Hart is determined to save Hartland Ranch, her family's California orange groves. After the recent ending of a turbulent relationship, she vows to keep her professional and personal life separate, even though she's attracted to the man who holds her family's fate in the palm of his hands.

Serious-minded banker David Cole has two goals: collecting on the delinquent ranch account and resisting his attraction to the unpredictable and beautiful Elaine Cole. When a series of circumstances bring them together, they must decide if they will continue to suppress their emotions or succumb to passion and take a chance on a forever love.

Very slow start. Needed more distinctive variation in voices. Overall good story. Will listen to book two.

Enemies 2 Lovers

Family drama. Unexpected plot twists. Unpredictable ending. More depth than expected. I enjoyed every moment of listening.

Great book to bring life..

Loved the story and cannot wait to read more.
Sophia Shu the narrator nailed it at bringing this book to life..

I loved this story!

This story is about how love finds its own way, no matter how hard one fights it. Elaine finds herself running the family orange grove, and like many farming operations, it’s struggling. While trying to diversify and get the farm back on track, a loan comes due and the farm may be out of extensions. David is the banker who is managing the loan- as an ethical man, he must decide how to handle this situation while finding himself undeniably attracted to Elaine.

This is a book about adults who find love after having some set-backs in both love and business. The author did a great job weaving these two characters together in a believable and flawed way. Elaine is very slow to trust, given her childhood, and David is wary given his ongoing divorce.

The narrator did a great job brining this sweet story to life and is exceptional at giving each character their unique voice, including the minor ones. I thoroughly enjoyed this story!

Narration

The storyline was ok but the narration was really bad. It was had to complete the book.
