She Can

By: Melinda Leigh

Elizabeth was a young widow with two small children when she met Congressman Richard Baker. Handsome and wealthy, with a sparkling public image, Richard seemed like the perfect man to provide the security that Beth and her kids were craving. But when she uncovers a dangerous secret about her new husband, Beth realizes he will go to any lengths - even murder - to keep it. After barely escaping with her life, she and her children flee. They eventually make their way to a secluded estate in the Pennsylvania countryside, where Beth dares to hope she has found a safe place at last....

Forced into retirement by an unexpected injury, Philadelphia homicide detective Jack O’Malley is mourning the loss of his career when his uncle abruptly dies, leaving Jack to dispose of his crumbling country house. Unbeknownst to him, his uncle engaged a caretaker just before his death, a mysterious woman with two children and a beautiful face that haunts his dreams. Determined to know her, Jack begins an investigation into Beth’s past. When he uncovers the shocking truth, and a local woman is viciously murdered, Jack puts his own life on the line to keep Beth and her children safe.

Nothing outstanding

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I enjoyed the book..but would probably read it next time to see if it was better....it seemed only so so to me.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I enjoyed that it wasn't immediately revealed who she was running from. or why.

Would you be willing to try another one of Amy Rubinate’s performances?

No. I tried really hard to find a way to describe what bugged me about the narrator. She sounded like a collage Sorority sophomore reading in class to her hunky, older professor who she is trying to impress.

Did She Can Run inspire you to do anything?

Not listen to the other buy a narrator...

Great story but annoying narration.

One of the first books I listened to on Audible was narrated by Amy Rubinate and I swore I wouldn’t listen to another one. She sounded like a shy debutante so I figured it was just the character. Unfortunately, that is her normal voice. Her character voices are fine but her normal voice with its lisp and trailing sentences is very annoying. Loved the story and the ending, just hard to listen to.

Great story

So good to see the growth and strength that Beth gained in her time with Jack. He was so good for her and her children. Just as they were good for him. They healed each other and overcame all the evil that was threatening to take Beth away.

Good book but narration was lacking

Story started out a little slow but quickly grew on me. Enjoyable characters but the narrator wasn't right for this book.

great story!!!!

grips you from the beginning and keeps you till the end! can't wait to begin the next book in the series.
