De: Kelly Collins

Narrado por: Logan McAllister

Welcome back to Aspen Cove, where home and family take on a whole new meaning....

Aspen Cove has offered Natalie Keane the peace and quiet she lacked growing up in foster care. While fear of getting too close to anyone has led her to settle on the outskirts of town, she’s found a happy routine, until life throws her a massive curveball in the form of the little brother she never knew existed.

Thrust into parenthood, Natalie faces the enormous task of handling a rebellious 12-year-old. When the little troublemaker steals from a local business owner, Natalie must not only tackle her first true test in parenting, but also face her growing feelings for the handsome store owner...who she may have threatened to poison.

Jake Powers has a second chance at life. Literally. After receiving a kidney transplant a decade ago, he’s dedicated his time as a life coach to helping others achieve their goals. When a pink envelope arrives bearing a heartfelt letter from the mother of his donor, Jake is drawn to Aspen Cove by the need to give back to the family that gave him so much.

The town’s need for a bookstore is the perfect opportunity, and once it’s up and running, he can move on to his ultimate dream - working at a high-profile retreat center where he can make a name for himself. But when he sees Natalie struggling to get her brother on the right track, he finds himself drawn to the beautiful woman with stone walls built around her heart.

When they finally find love in the most unexpected of places, will the wounds of their pasts prevent them from taking the futures right in front of them?

Spoiler free review

I read this book when it first came out, and enjoyed it then. I enjoyed it just as much listening to it. this narator has done the whole series, and I can't imagine any other voice telling me about the goings on in Aspen Cove

Second Chances in Aspen Cove

Natalie, Will, and Jake have all been hurt. Natalie and Will by their selfish father and a struggling foster care system that doesn’t always allow for love. Jake had to deal with kidney failure and the abandonment of his girlfriend during that time. I loved that he came back to Aspen Cove because Bea’s daughter Brandy had given him life after she died through her kidney and he wanted to give back. I am an avid reader and would love to work in a bookstore, so I was happy that he built one in memory of Bea and Brandy. Natalie kept pushing Jake away and holding off on saying I love you to Jake and her new brother Will because she hasn’t known love herself and is afraid of getting hurt. The townspeople of Aspen Cove are amazing how they rally around to help each other. They make everyone feel like family and it sounds like an amazing place to live. Katie received Brandy’s heart. Jake got one of the kidneys. I can’t wait to find out who else received a second chance at life because of Brandy.

The narrator has a smooth sexy tone with voice changes and inflections in all the right places.
