The Wisdom of the Ancestors, Book 16

De: Ann Jeffries

Narrado por: Kelley Hazen

Small town girl Jacqueline Conner Mitchell no longer had her husband, Bobby, to help her keep their fledgling travel and tour company afloat. Not yet 30 years old, he died in a plane crash while leading a tour of the African continent leaving her pregnant and alone.

Then, tragedy struck again, with the loss of their unborn child and her father. Now, she has her ailing mother, her teenage siblings, her failing business, and loyal employees to contend with. Without a substantial infusion of cash, her once promising future will end in disaster for those she holds most dear.

Jackson Chase wasn’t going to make it easy on Jacqueline, the love of his life, to continue to ignore him. He was no longer the trailer camp kid from the wrong side of the tracks who once rode a stripped-down Harley with his gang of bad boy misfits.

She loved him once, but let an incident when they were in high school separate them. Then she devastated him when she married wealthy, pretty boy Bobby Mitchell whose family their Maryland County was named for. Her husband was dead now and Jackson, a multibillionaire and owner of the local bank, was doing everything in his power to force her to come to him for help.

In order for her business to survive and to support her family, Jacqueline will have no choice but to sacrifice herself and submit to Jackson’s marriage demands. She doesn’t love him anymore and fears he seeks retribution for what happened in high school.

So, will the battle of bodies, souls, and minds start the moment she says "I do"?

Epic

Bittersweet Memories by Ann Jeffries is an epic listen. I love how the author writes the characters with depth, heart, and redemption. The focus on family is strong in this book, along with success. The character of Jacki was outstanding for her fortitude and resolute to overcome adversity. Kelley Hazen was amazing bringing the numerous characters to life with her voice. She performs a multitude of ages, ethnicity, and genders. I love the fact that I can easily hear who is speaking. This book will definitely stick with me. Well done!

And Jeffrey’s and Kelly Hazen do it again!

When Jackie loses her husband, her baby and her daddy in quick succession then her mother falls ill she’s about to lose her business and if she don’t get a miracle everything she knows will be lost. This book is so good I love when Jackie and Jackson meet I love the interaction with her and her siblings and the employees at theTourism shop. I love Kelly Hazen’s voice and I’ve come to depend on and Jeffrey‘s books to be read by her. From the year and discovering to this new series there a great duo in any book by them is a guaranteed yet! Just know it will not be a waste of a credit.g

Bittersweet Memories

A very touching story. Jackie was dealt a tough hand... the loss of her husband and unborn child left her reeling, and now the business they had started was having financial difficulties. Jackie is a strong woman, but when Jackson, steps back into her life, it may be too much for her to handle.

Ann Jeffries has done a fantastic job with this story. The characters are well developed and the storyline is engaging. A great addition to the Family Reunion - Wisdom of the Ancestors series.

Kelley Hazen is amazing. She not only has the ability to provide different voices and accents for the characters, but she narrates with such emotion. She truly brings the characters to life.

History Can Repeat

I have to admit this is my first listen by author and enjoyed it with great narration. It is about Jacqueline Conner Mitchel (Jackie) along with her husband Bobby opened a travel and tour company and he died while doing a tour. Jackie was under much duress with Bobby’s death her miscarriage and business income in jeopardy due to finances. Enter Jackson Chase a very persistent man and Jackie’s first love as teen pursues her. There are torrid love scenes so beware but lived the ending. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you
