Resumen del Editor

When Dr. Paris DeMont lost her beloved Gabriella to the mindless tragedy of Nine Eleven, she lost more than her partner of eight years. She lost her will to love. A successful cardiologist to New York City's elite, Paris now lives a sterile, emotionless existence on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

But Paris finds out that even when one tries to give up on life, life has a way of interfering and forcing you to live it. When Paris returns to Banyon, Missouri, to oversee the repairs to the aging Victorian farmhouse she inherited from her grandmother, the protective barrier she has wrapped around her heart is tested to the limit.

Childhood friend Sloan McKinley still carries a torch for Paris . . . a torch that even after twenty-five years still burns brightly and threatens to consume them both, if only Paris will let it.

Contains mature themes.

A Heartfelt Love Story

I connected with both of these characters. I loved how the story integrated their childhood connection- which was so cute and endearing. I found myself rooting for these two to have their long awaited happily ever after. This will go in my Heartfelt love story and reread collections

Childhood friends meet again after 30+ years

This is my 2nd Kenna White book & will continue to read all her others (insert applause emoji). Love her writing & storytelling. Her attention to detail & descriptions are fantastic. I was salivating hearing about all the good southern & Italian cooking! I may have also shed some tears. Loved both MCs & the secondary characters were great, too. The childhood flashbacks were sweet & just the right length; they came up at the right moments throughout the story. Now for the cherry on top…Abby Craden’s narration. Wow! Abby’s acting & diverse voices makes you think you’re watching a movie instead of hearing a book. You’ll forget that only one narrator is doing all the voices. From the MCs to the male voices, to the children, Abby is incredible. I wouldn’t have minded an epilogue to complete the book. But, overall I give it 6 stars!

The ending could have been longer!

I was upset with the ending and wanted more of the story than that! Seriously that’s it? She makes her worry and then that’s it?!

Abby was amazing again!

Cute story. Abby did an awesome job once again with all of the voices and accents (women, men, old people, and children). Worth a listen for sure!

Recommended

A very engaging story beautifully narrated. I was not able to put it down. The characters are very likable.

Connection

Why, why have these books not been made movies. I have listened to so many that would make amazing movies.

Love Willow trees

Such a great story
The main characters struggle with loss, finding a relationship from the past with such deep feelings
Then tragedy and what happens afterwards
Loved the ending

An excellent book

This is the second book written by Kenna White I hav e listened to in the last 2 weeks, both excellent. I am looking forward for mor of her books to be narrated.
The story is well written,the MC are3 excellent.
There was one thing I didn’t like the use of the word Holocaust twice in the same sentence regarding a house fire and 9/11. These are disasters, horrible events but not Holocaust.

Good Story/Narrator

I really enjoyed this story… as for Abby Craden? She could read the dictionary and I’d be mesmerized!!

It's the ending for me

It's the ending for me that brought this rating to a 3. Slone was too whiny and desperate for me.
