Publisher's summary

Oklahoma Rancher Belle Jamison’s world topples when her best friend announces that Burke Benning, their former classmate and an NFL superstar running back, is coming to their fifteenth class reunion to act as Master of Ceremonies. Twelve years earlier the handsome athlete broke Belle’s heart by deserting her minutes before their wedding ceremony. Burke’s retirement from professional football brings him home to Haskell for good. While his new career in life is uncertain, he knows he must deal with his hurtful actions toward Belle. A mountain of unspoken words looms between them and only the grace and peace of God can help them overcome. Seeing Burke stirs the love and pain Belle still has hidden in her heart. As they rebuild their friendship and rekindle a lost love, Belle must choose to forget and trust him once more. Will their desire for love overcome the devastation of the past? This time, will their love last?

Sweet book! Full of love and kindness.

As usual, virtual voice missed intonations that took away from the impact of the words. VV has a long way to go before it is as fulfilling as the human voice!

Forgiveness and love

I loved the book. The story is so tender and sweet. Plenty of things going on to keep your attention. I love the characters and the focus of keeping our focus on God. And that hopes and dreams do come true even if not when you thought they would happen.
Surprisingly the AI voice was not bad. Some of the words were pronounced wrong. Good and bad - some readers have different tones and volumes and different voices for each character which I like unless they don’t do it well. The AI reader didn’t do voices but was more like me reading it to myself. It would have been nice to have a deeper tone for male voices. Very nice though! This was my first time with the AI reader.

I always love the Christ centeredness of Rachel Hauck books

I always love Rachel Hauck books! I did not enjoy the AI voice! That voice, lacks emotion You missed the characters. It's all the same. I love the performances of real people. Please don't choose to go this route again!!

Simple love story

Ai Virtual voice narration is severely lacking. No inflections, emotions or character change. Hard to stay focused and difficult to enjoy my favorite author.
