Resumen del Editor

#1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr examines the lives of three sisters as they step beyond the roles of wife, mother, daughter and discover the importance of being a woman first

Clare Wilson is starting over. She's had it with her marriage to a charming serial cheater. Even her own son thinks she's given his father too many chances. With the support of her sisters, Maggie and Sarah, she's ready to move on. Facing her fortieth birthday, Clare is finally feeling the rush of unadulterated freedom.

But when a near-fatal car accident lands Clare in the hospital, her life takes another detour. While recovering, Clare realizes she has the power to choose her life's path. The wonderful younger police officer who witnessed her crash is over the moon for her. A man from her past stirs up long-buried feelings. Even her ex is pining for her. With enthusiasm and a little envy, her sisters watch her bloom.

Together, the sisters encourage each other to seek what they need to be happy. Along the way, they all learn that it's never too late to begin again.

15 Years Too Late

I am a huge Robyn Carr fan, which makes me feel guilty about writing a less-than-positive review of Never Too Late.

The huge negative factor for me was the main character Claire, who was a whimpy 39 year old woman. Claire stayed with husband Roger for 16 years, roughly 15 years after the 1st time he had cheated on her. When Claire finally filed for divorce after their 5th separation, she instantly has several men trying to date her...why? Martyrs just aren't that interesting.

Claire doesn't hold a fulltime job, refering to herself as a housewife, as if she was married to a building. Claire was an attractive, educated woman with a close family, a healthy teenage son and financial security, yet did almost nothing positive with her blessings. If she didn't need to earn a salary, at least she could have volunteered to help those less fortunate.

While I appeciated the message "it's never too late to improve your life", I didn't relate to Claire, although she almost got me when she started to rehab an old house. If Claire had stayed with Roger because she was hopelessly in love, financially dependent or needed help with childcare, it would have been somewhat understandable. Sadly, Claire just seemed too immature and lazy.

I did enjoy her sisters Maggie & Sarah, some humorous scenes, the perils of raising teens, the scenic small town setting and an excellent narration. The last half of the book got better and ended with a satisfying conclusion.

Crowded storylines but good book

I love Robyn Carr, especially her 5 Star Virgin River series and as usual Therese Plummer was fantastic. I enjoyed this story even though the first half of the story was a little slow and too much story time spent on the relationship with Sam and Clare that wasn’t going anywhere. The back half and ending was much better. Overall a good story of family and the changes in their lives but maybe too many story lines in one book. A book for each sister would have been better. The back half flowed good and had some hilarious moments and loved the family Sunday dinners. Thanks
How about a reunion/Anniversary book for Virgin River to see where everyone is now?

lovely story

what a wonderful book! love it until then end. Great story line. would recommend to read.

very light read

very well structured but almost a little too light of read.... a little too predictable.

otherwise, great story!

Loved this story and the narration was great!

I really enjoyed this romantic little story that ended in the truest of love and the sex scenes we're great but not too over-the-top.

little bit corny but cute

Worth listening to...some parts were corny and predictable but overall cute and enjoyed listening

narrator is the best

took a turn I wasn't expecting, but lived. but wished it would have had more if their together story not just end , but still lived it

NEVER DISAPPOINTED!

The Robyn Carr/Terese Plummer team is ALWAYS a magnificent listen! The storyline held my attention from the very start! And the ending on all of Robyn Carr's books leave me satisfied, fulfilled and happy. This book although not in a series was no exception. I'm amazed at how the characters all come to life through Therese Plummer's wonderful narration. Her male and female voices would make one think that there are two people doing the narrating. Super great job! Well worth the credit!

Great book!

Where does Never Too Late rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Narration was excellent and the story line, which started out a little weak, was very interesting and enjoyable.

What other book might you compare Never Too Late to and why?

I would compare this book to Debbie Macomber books, well written and colorful.

Which scene was your favorite?

The ski scene with Sam and Sarah.

Who was the most memorable character of Never Too Late and why?

Sam and Claire because of their bonding after the accident.

Any additional comments?

Sure. Send me a guy like Sam or Pete - lol.

Story is too focused on sex.

I liked the characters and the strong family bonds, which is what endears me to Robyn Carr. I could do without the constant descriptions of sexual contact. I just finished the Deep in the Valley trilogy which is very heartwarming and tasteful with regards to the romance between the characters. This is not one of this author's finest works, to say the least. I purchased this because it was a daily deal and I suppose it was worth that low price.
