Publisher's summary

Audie Award Finalist, Inspirational, Faith-Based Fiction, 2016

Bryce Landry, country music's hottest star, has it all, or so everyone on the outside thinks. They can't see his struggle to discover himself, to find his place in unfamiliar territories, both as a dad and as a Christian. He takes a month off and escapes to the small town of Oden Bridge, Louisiana, where his daughter lives with his grandparents.

Sophie Thatcher has never been a risk taker, but she has no complaints and never thought her life lacked until her boyfriend of three years breaks off their relationship. Only then, does she begin to question what she's missed by always playing it safe. Meeting Bryce is a call to action. She can let fear rule or trust in faith, which means taking the biggest risk of her life.

As the weeks and months pass, they discover finding each other was easy, but holding on will be a different story.

A modern day fairy tale

What did you love best about Come to Me Alive: A Contemporary Christian Romance Novel?

Imagining that the plot could happen to me! The male main character is like, the most sensitive, attentive, thoughtful man EVER. And he's rich and famous.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the narration and how the narrator brought the story to life not only through the easily distinguishable characters, but also by adding music to make the plot line even more realistic.

All in all, I wasn't super-engaged by the story itself. The main characters have some baggage because of their past experiences or insecurities, but in my opinion, those issues didn't really cause much drama or create too much of a problem. Everything worked out so smoothly and perfectly in this book--a modern-day fairy tale.

Almost Perfect Contemporary Christian Romance


This is a really nice, contemporary Christian romance. One day while sitting at the park, Sophie's solitude is broken by a good-looking man, a little girl & runaway ducks! The adults strike up a conversation. After walking Sophie to her car, the man asked her for her name. She gives it to him and then drives away, instantly regretting her failure to ask him his name.

They happen to cross paths again (he is actually stalking her but in a non-creepy way) and have a long conversation about their relationship's with God. Bryce is a relatively new Christian – having accepted Jesus about one year ago. She has been a Christian for much longer. However, this does not stop them from dating.

He eventually "comes clean" telling her that he is a country music sensation. He acknowledges his past sins. One of those was becoming intimate with a woman. He never gave their rendezvous another thought until several years later. He is notified that he is the father of a young daughter. A 'product' of that rendezvous. The mother never said anything to Bryce. She had cancer and died, leaving him his daughter – which he had no idea existed.

Upon the news, Bryce takes a break from touring and anything music related. He is taking the time to get to know his daughter, with the help of his grandparents. It is during this time he meets Sophie.

She has hangups about his past – especially after looking him up on the Internet. He is has a nonexistent relationship with his parents but is extremely close to his grandparents.

Follow their journey as you witness their struggles and triumphs.

It was a very nice book and not something I would have picked out on my own. *I received a copy in exchange for this review. While it was a little over-the-top, at times, with the constant references to God and prayer, it was enjoyable and I'm glad to have listened to it.

Notes: There is nothing to warn about with this book and I highly recommend it to those who enjoy sweetness and physical behavior that does NOT go beyond kissing.

Pamela Almand was very good – the part was very challenging. Especially as there are several points in the book where she had to perform the part of a male, country singer singing! I appreciated her narration (even her interpretation of a young child, which can be annoying. She passed the test with flying colors!)

Good book, not a fan of the narrator

I could have done without the singing! I love audiobooks and this was my first one with Pamela Almand. I never like to be negative, but I found it difficult at times to listen to her. At times she’d forget to change her voice and the singing was NOT needed! I had to fast forward so that I wouldn’t just turn off the book.
As far as the book itself I truly enjoyed it. It was clean and kept God as a focal point! That’s not easy to do these days! I will definitely be looking for more from the author!
