McCarthy Road

The Lighthearted ollection

By: Katharine E. Hamilton

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Kennedy Donovan loved living in the city. But when a mysterious envelope arrives in the mail describing her new inheritance from an estranged uncle, she finds herself in the Alaskan bush country facing more than just snow. Family secrets, life-threatening blizzards, and the potential for love. Does Alaska offer Kennedy more than her life in New York?

Adam Stockton moved to McCarthy, Alaska, at 15 years old. Thanks to Neal Donovan, he’d grown up and adjusted well to the Alaskan frontier. But when Neal’s long-lost niece shows up to claim her inheritance after Neal’s passing, Adam finds himself potentially losing his last tie to Neal as well as his heart.

Can he show Kennedy that life in McCarthy is worth sticking out?

The story that leaves you with warm feelings

This book is a beautiful romantic story. It is a great book to enjoy during long winter evenings with hot chocolate and a warm blanket. The story is very smooth and sweet. There is no drama or violence. This book is about family, appreciation, and romantic love.

The narrator did a superb job. She was great at giving each character their own voices and displaying their emotions. She has made this book even more pleasurable to listen to.

Excellent

To go from the business of the city to the vast wilderness of Alaska, would take some doing, To stay would take magic and love to stay there. Delightful heartwarming story. With excellent narration to enjoy. Well done. Given audio for my voluntary review

McCarthy Road

I really enjoyed this book. Kennedy inherited her uncle's inn. She plans to sell it. The inn is in Alaska and she has a life in New York City. When she goes to Alaska, she finds herself liking it. This causes her to reevaluate her life .I liked Meghan Kelly's narration.

Sweet story

Overall the storyline and the book was good. It was a bit slow at times at other times it amused and at times brought tears; however, the narrator was stilted and hesitant to me me. The flow was almost stilted and boring for the most part almost reminded me of a professor reading from a text book.
If you can get past that, it was an overall sweet story.

Fabulous Story & Narration🎧 Sweet & Delightful!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this fabulous story. It is my first book written Katharine E. Hamilton and definitely not my last, she is a gifted author with a wonderful writing style, she created interesting storylines and characters who are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I loved how natural the story flowed and how her descriptive details takes you right along side the characters to see everything through their eyes. I adored the two lead characters, Kennedy ”Ken” Donovan and Adam Stockton, the secondary are awesome too. Kennedy, a chef in NYC, inherits her Uncle Neal’s Inn in a remote area of Alaska. She did not know what to expect before going there but she found out McCarthy Road is a gravel road and not the safest to travel on. She makes it there to find out the inn is located in rural Alaska surrounded by wilderness. Luckily the people in the small town are friendly and helpful, especially Adam who was friends with her uncle and took care of the Inn after this passing. Kennedy just wanted to check out the place and figure out what she wanted to do with it, which meant most likely selling it. Her stay winds up being longer than planned and she starts to fall in love with the place and the people, especially Adam. She did not know much about her Uncle, who was estranged from the family but in time she learns more about him and who he was. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted and contains a whole lot of heart. This is a sweet and clean romance, there is small town charm, it also shows the challenges of living in remote areas, how people help and look out for each other. Katharine E. Hamilton, thank you for this fabulous story.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Meghan Kelly is a talented narrator and versatile voice artist. She performs the voices for all the characters, gives each their own distinct sound which makes it easy to follow along and tell who is who. She portrays each character with perfection, grasps each persona then takes the role and makes it her own. Her take on Kennedy was spot on, as was her take on Adam. She sets the perfect tone for the story, captures all of the characters emotions and projects them in to her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.
