The Final Storm

By: Fern Michaels

Narrated by: Lizzie Wofford

In an exciting and richly moving new standalone thriller from New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels, an acclaimed photographer who has overcome her difficult past is suddenly faced with a test of all her courage and resilience.

In her award-winning wildlife photographs, Charlotte Gray captures all the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Far better to focus on breathtaking landscapes than to turn the lens on her own painful childhood and the uncaring mother she left behind in Florida. Piece by piece, Charlotte has built a new, independent life, one she’s eager to protect.

A chance encounter on assignment in Las Vegas sparks an intriguing relationship, and for the first time, Charlotte impulsively follows her heart. But along with love and fresh beginnings comes a trove of secrets about her new husband. And someone in his past is determined to upend Charlotte’s happiness by threatening what she cares about most.

After everything she’s weathered, Charlotte is about to face the task of rebuilding her life yet again. But this time she’s doing it with hard-won strength, experience, and the wisdom to know when to forgive, when to let go, and how to walk into the sunshine and claim the support and love she deserves . . .

good story

a good book but the narrator spoke too slow but I increased speed and it was better.

Huge, Major Disappointment

Slow as a snail & the book leaves a slimy trail of utter boredom. The main characters are as weak & flat as cheap paper dolls. The story is abysmal, the main characters have so many flaws & they are totally unlikeable. It would take a Sherlock Holmes to try to find any bit of romance in this book. The characters just don’t connect, & the reader just doesn’t care about them.
