By: Janice Cole Hopkins

Ranch foreman, Wade Easton, becomes a recluse after he’s gored by a bull and his fiancée leaves him. He moves to Abilene and establishes himself as a successful dime novelist. Desperate for another housekeeper after yet another woman quits, he accepts Lillian Kirk on a trial basis, although he thinks she’s too young for the job and soon finds himself liking her too much. He knows from experience that women don’t want a broken man. When his ex-fiancé shows up, things get even more complicated.

Great!

What a beautiful story this was. It had wonderful Christian values and a lesson to learn from. The narrator was great. He had a pleasant voice and was very good with the characters.

Written With Love

Listening to the audiobook of The Writer’s Rescue was very satisfying. The narrator was fantastic. Wade has been a recluse after an accident. He needs a new housekeeper and Lillian applied. Wade is not sure if Lillian will be a good fit, but gives her a chance. He has become a writer, since the accident and needs his privacy. Lillian becomes more of a help to Wade, but I think they are becoming more to each other than boss and employee. Delightful story and wonderful characters.
I was given a copy of the book by the author for a honest review.

Wonderful listen!

What a fun, grumpy sunshine story, and the path to happiness is right there for the taking! Dime novelist, Wade Easton has found success in his career, but has become a bit of a hermit. Not easy to get along with, he has a problem keeping a housekeeper. When Lillian is recommended to him, he immediately is hesitant. She is much to pretty, a bit of a distraction, so saying she is to young should take care of that. Now he is convinced to hire her on a trial basis. Lillian needs a job, and she is going to prove to him she is able to do the job. She is going to do exactly what he wants. But will that be enough? I loved this for so many reasons. I love Lillian and her relationship with the other women in the house. I love how Wade continually looks for errors, but only finds just what he needs. And I love how he finds his faith. This is a fantastic story, and I really enjoyed it.

Jared Walters is the perfect narrator for this story. He has a great voice to bring out the brokenness in Wade, and the positivity that Lillian brings into the house. He brought out all the feels and made this a true gem.

Love This Author’s Books

I loved this book as I do all of this authors work. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was wonderful and brought the story to life even more. I loved the characters and way Wade couldn’t help but enjoy the new housekeeper. She was special and did just as he asked her to do. To stay out of the way and don’t cause any trouble. Just as long as he could write his stories he was just fine! That’s what he wanted, right? Well I loved them both and their story.
Oh you will want to listen to this story because this is just a small portion to look forward to. There is a big something that happens that you don’t want to miss.
I received this audiobook from the author but was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Christian Historical Romance

This story is completely different from others I have read by this author! I loved the uniqueness of it. I loved how he returned to his faith that he lost after devastating circumstances! It was just such a realistic story! One that could be set in just about any time period with slight modifications of transportation and his previous job.
I thought the narration was perfect! I wouldn't change a thing!! I hope you take a chance if Janice Hopkins is a new author for you, and I hope repeat readers will continue to enjoy her stories for years to come!
