The Commitment

The O'Connells, Book 5

By: Lorhainne Eckhart

Narrated by: Elena Rosa, Reuben Corbett

As far as Marcus O’Connell is concerned, his situation is perfect. He’s now living with the love of his life, Charlotte, and they’re serving as guardians for Eva, a little girl he rescued whose mother is serving time in prison for a crime of which, in Marcus’s mind, she was unfairly convicted.

But Charlotte isn’t on board with Marcus’ way of thinking. Because her divorce is now final, she wants - no, expects - Marcus to want the same things she does. One of those things is a committed relationship, which, to Charlotte, means marriage. For Marcus, though, marriage is only a piece of paper, and it doesn’t have anything to do with commitment.

However, when circumstances change for Eva, whom they both love deeply, Marcus is forced to make some hard decisions to keep both Eva and Charlotte, and he questions his reasons for not wanting marriage. What will he need to do to keep the child he and Charlotte now consider theirs?

loved it

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Really Short Listen

A very short listen. Did not care for the narration, especially the female voice. It sounded either whiny or nagging. The male voice was kind of lifeless. The narration gave me no sense that Marcus and Charlotte even liked each other. They were just "together" and both wanted Ava.

Charlotte was not my favorite in The Third Call, but by the end, she was ok. She was not my favorite in this one. It seemed to me like Marcus only married her because of Ava. It also made me wonder if Charlotte had her own ulterior motives for wanting to get married after living together for 4 months.

I would give this 2.5 stars.
