Title: Firefly Cove

Author: Davis Bunn

Narrator: Graham Winton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-26-17

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

From the internationally best-selling author of Miramar Bay comes a deeply emotional novel that explores the challenges of living, the joys of loving, and the bittersweet act of letting go.

I have this, Lucius thought to himself. I have today.

Since the age of seven, Lucius Quarterfield has known he is dying. Doctors told him he had a "bad ticker" and might not live to see his next birthday. But somehow, the frail yet determined boy managed to hang on and surprise everyone. The bullies who teased him. The family who neglected him. The professionals who offered little hope for a normal life. To their surprise, Lucius not only survived to adulthood, he thrived, turning a small car dealership into a successful chain. But now, at 28, his time is finally running out. So he's returning to the one place he ever felt happy, near the only woman he ever truly wanted - the California seaside town of Miramar Bay.

Was it so much to ask, a healthy tomorrow shared with a woman he loved?

Jessica was the only daughter of the only dentist in town. An ardent fan of Jane Austen, she was able to follow in her father's footsteps, as he desired. But Jessica preferred the simple things in life - a trait that captivated Lucius from the moment he arrived in town on business. Her carefree approach to living and playful, quick wit were a breath of fresh air to a man who devoted all his time to work. They were complete opposites and perfect complements. Soon they were falling head over heels - until Lucius pulled away, to spare her the pain of his inevitable fate. Now, after all this time, he won't put her through that again. His days are numbered. And whatever happens - with Jessica or anyone sharing his journey - he's going to make each moment count. Because he knows that everything is about to change...he just can't know exactly how.

Warm-hearted, wise, and wonderfully moving, Firefly Cove is a powerful novel of first love and second chances that will live in listeners' hearts for years to come.

Members Reviews:

He's done it again!

Davis pulls you into his world with the first page and holds onto your heart until the very end. Characters are full of depth and reality so easy to believe.

I loved both books in this series! If you want a clean, well written, captivating story, Davis Bunn is your man. You won't be sorry.

Wow / excellent again

An amazing plot and exploration of Godâs mysteries without being super- spiritual. Well researched medical aspects support page-turner intensity. I will need to read several more times

He gets back his life--what will he do with the added days?

Debâs Dozen: Life regained. What will he do with the new breath granted him?

In Firefly Cove, the second book of the Miramar Bay series, Davis Bunn has written a time-travel book of a different sort. Reminiscent of Somewhere in Time, the Jane Seymour-Christopher Reeve movie based itself on a novel, Time After Time, Firefly Cove also involves lost loves.

Lucias Quarterfield has been ill practically his whole life. Because of his illness, heâs become a loner-afraid of friendship because doctors tell him he might die at any time. Surprisingly, he matures and eventually turns a car dealership into a chain. The only relationship heâs formed is with Jessica Waverly during a time in Miramar Bay.

What a sweet story! But then

Friends becoming 'more'. So cute! The author, Leah Atwood, said she'd been waiting to tell this story for 2 years. I was waiting, too. :-) What a sweet story! You can't really go wrong with a Leah Atwood story, can you? Sweet. Clean. Inspirational. Full of faith and the hope of restoration, and finding love - again. So GOOD to meet up with sweet friends from a couple of other books/series. Yeah, Bryce and Sophie Landry, Luke and Kate Tatum! So glad I found this author's books a couple of years ago and I've pretty much read them all. Plus, I love the audio versions, listening to them over and over again. Never yet regretted reading a story by Mrs. Atwood.

Moving story

Conquering fear is a central theme that weaves this story together as friends move through grief and discover the freedom that is found in letting go and trusting God. Not only that, it was fun to read.

Learning to Love Again

Janie lost her beloved husband in a military helicopter crash. His military brothers have watched over her, but will she ever be able to love again? Great characters and clean storyline.

Sweet Second Chance

Warm story about a young widow of a beloved Marine. The "Brothers" rallied around to look after the fallen team mates wife. A wonderful love story developed. Another Leah Atwood winner!

Could not stop reading!

Evan and Janie.. this was so good. When a door closes another opens in time. Love wins over all and opens us up for a great adventure.

Title: You're Gonna Love Me

Author: Robin Lee Hatcher

Narrator: Windy Lanzl

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-12-17

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Romance, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Who knew fate could twist a tragedy into a second chance at love?

Samantha Winters lives her life the way a good accountant should - measured, deliberate, and safe. After watching her father die in a tragic skiing accident, she decided never to allow risk into her life again. But she didn't count on falling for Nick Chastain, who embodies everything she doesn't want in her safely constructed world.

Against Samantha's warnings, Nick plans a dangerous kayaking trip over spring break. Furious that he's so careless with his life, she ends their fledgling relationship with harsh words.

Two years later, Samantha is desperately in need of a change. When she learns her grandmother has had an accident and is in need of a caretaker, Samantha quickly packs her bags and heads to Thunder Creek, Idaho. But nothing could prepare her for the surprise awaiting her in her grandmother's hospital room...Nick.

With the charming backdrop of small-town friends, beloved cousins, and a whole church congregation rooting for them, can they set aside the disastrous ending of their first try at love? Has Nick changed enough to meet Samantha in the middle - and can she realize that a risk in love might be worth taking?

Members Reviews:

Developing Maturity

While the plot was fairly predictable, the pathway there was well developed with various obstacles to Samantha and Nick's relationship. I enjoyed the developing maturity of the main characters and getting to know the supporting characters. Learning more about brain trauma was interesting as well. Since I listened to the audiobook, I can recommend the reader, Windy Lanzi.

Great read, fears resolved

Samantha and Nick both depend on faith in God to help them overcome debilitating fears. Love , communication and trust build a new life for them.

Hatcher Always Pleases.

"Life is full of chaos, no matter how hard you try to keep it in order. You have to live it the best you can."

Samantha Winters has been living in fear since losing her father in a skiing accident many years ago. Fear governs her life and has, in part, cost her a wonderful relationship with Nick Chastain. Nick liked living on the edge, kayaking, white water rafting, you name it. It made him happy. But Samantha couldn't deal with it and they broke up.

Two years later Samantha moves to Thunder Creek, Idaho from her home in Oregon to take care of her grandmother after a serious ankle break. Imagine her shock when Nick walks into her grandmother's hospital room. What is he doing here? And why is this happening to her now?

But Nick Chastain is not the same man anymore. They have a second chance after a tragic happening in his life. Will Samantha allow her fears to continue to control her life or will she trust God and allow Him to lead her?

I have long been a fan of Robin Lee Hatcher's work. Her stories are emotionally charged and relevant to today's situations. She explores the human heart and mind in her books and the reader comes away with a valuable lesson. Many people live with fear in their lives, but God does not desire for His children to live in torment. He has a plan for our lives and it's a good plan, not one where we have to live trapped in anything. Chalk up another good book for Hatcher with 'You're Gonna Love Me'.

*I was given a complimentary copy of this book by the publishers. I was not expected to leave a positive review.

Members Reviews:

Jealousy

Emily as the oldest daughter is given a Christmas quilt that her Great-Grandmother, Grandmother and Mother have all worked on. She is expected to work on it before Christmas but it disappears from the clothes lines ending up in a neighbors fire. She wrongly accuses Aaron the neighbor. The real person who did it is a surprise. I think Paige Milliken did an excellent job of developing the character's personalities in this short book.

A Neat Story

This was a neat and clean little story that takes you back in time. I look forward to reading the next one.

Publisher's Summary:

He lives by his heart. She lives by her plans. Until an unseen enemy and a growing attraction threaten control of both.

Returning to his hometown in the Catskills is the last thing firefighter Ethan DeLuca's ready for. He'd rather leave memories where they belong - buried under ashes. But if he doesn't step up to take care of Nonna, who will? Working at the camp down the road seems like the perfect solution. Until his feisty redheaded boss ends up being one fire he has no idea how to put out.

Cassidy McAdams is on a mission. Get the camp Grandpa left her ready to sell, turn enough profit to bail Mom's business out of foreclosure, and hightail it back to her life in New York City. With unexpected complications mounting, she can't afford any distractions. Especially a ridiculously charming one who's eager to rescue her at every turn.

It'd be easier on them both to hide behind professional boundaries. But when unexplained attacks on the camp ignite a connection between them they can't ignore, running away is no longer an option.

Members Reviews:

Just Okay.

The story is sweet but the characters and storyline are not solidly consistent. Writing is a little weak. For the first half of the book, Cassie is not very likeable. She is rude, overly dramatic and has the emotional intelligence of a child. Her past is rough but the way she acts, you would think she was raised in a closet by Russian mobsters. The obsession she has for having 'fun' is silly and immature. Big deal - we all have serious moments and life is hard at times. We don't run around like a tragic drama queen. Ethan is perceived as a little weak and non-alpha, much of the time. He's a good man but he doesn't come across as a firefighter. The back and forth thing between them initially seemed forced. The lawmakers in the town sound so incompetent, the make Gotham City seem capable. After a mysterious fire, there is no police presence or an arson investigation filed. Ethan turns to his cold mother for help. You would think he'd have a network of arson investigators and law enforcement friends who could help him protect the girls. The narrator is okay. Doesn't help much with the stilted writing. Still listening to the book. Just okay. Maybe the end will save it.

Wonderful love story

I loved this story. The author was very expressive and I loved how the characters developed. Sarah really brought these characters to life through her narration. She read with such emotions, I was in tears by the end. lots of interesting turns and twists throughout.

A Nest of Sparrows

I love this book! The beginning made me sad, and I was unsure if I wanted to finish it, but it was an incredibly good book. Very well read by Julie Lancelot. she has such a wonderful way of making each character sound totally different, which makes it easier to follow the story. I liked the story of so many imperfect people coming to God and finding fulfillment. I wish it had been longer.

Clean and sweet Christian romance. All books in the Shadow series can be listened to as standalone. They revisit previous characters, but each story is different.

Members Reviews:

Interesting Theme

A most enjoyable story with a very interesting theme about a two people who have found religion and how, when it is understood and applied correctly, they are able to live their lives well according to the teachings.

Other characters have been brought into this story from other stories in this series and they all play a good supporting role and help this new couple.

As usual, a very interesting and enjoyable story which has been nicely narrated by Jeff Moon and I am happy to recommend it.

The audiobook version was provided by the author at no cost and this is my honest and unbiased review.

Great continuation of the Shadow Series!

This classic marriage of convenience proves that even happy endings can have a rocky and interesting journey! Anna is homeless and Billy is wifeless. They need each other in their situations in life. What they do not count on is that love has a way of getting in the middle of their best laid plans of just helping each other out.

Barbara Goss continues her Shadow series with Billy's story. It was a great story and Jeff Moon did a wonderful job telling her story!

Billy and Anna

Started as a marriage of convenience Billy needs a wife so that he could get the job as a preacher. Anna needs someone to take care of her. This is a great series.

What's Love Got to Do with It?

It helps, in life, to be able to learn. To absorb others' actions, manners, and speech patterns and be able to mimic them. To be able to assess a situation from more than one angle, and to be sufficiently flexible to adapt to changes. Here we are introduced to potentially the most illogical of possible arranged marriages, and these same qualities, shared by BOTH parties, create the necessary magic for this HEA--with all of Ms Goss' usual flair for intricate plot placed in realistic historic setting and as beautifully narrated by Jeff Moon. Knowing the other players from previous tales in the series is a bonus for you but unnecessary for enjoyment as this story does stand alone.

Shadow of Love

Another Sweet Romance written by Barbara Goss.

An unusual agreement between Billy and Anna allows them to both get something they want. But will they stick to their agreement?

Members Reviews:

Cute Storyline, Dreadful Narrator

Cute storyline in Hatfield style, if not a bit tedious with misunderstandings between main characters a bit drawn out. As with some of my favorite stories, "The Christmas Bargain" & the "Baker City Brides" series, the narrator (Michael Canaan) is dreadful - especially horrible with female voices. It's a chore listening to him. I struggle through the complete audiobook versions only because I like the stories so much, but it's so disappointing - would be great listening with a good narrator. Has Shanna Hatfield actually listened to her books read aloud by Canaan & approved them? Sorry.

Good Story but Terrible Narration

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I do not recommend the audible version of this book. The narration was off and very distracting to the realistic feel and setting of this time period.

Sweet story - not a fan of narration

This story is sweet, and an old time romance. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. The narrator has a beautiful voice, until he is voicing women or children. His falsetto is both distracting and annoying. Perhaps a dual narration or not attempting to change his voice so much would have been better options.
