Good narrator, quick and easy listen
Revisado: 03-20-24
Emma Faye did a good job narrating this book. I think her reading style matched the book well.
This is a cute love story about a burned out writer who goes on vacation to a resort in the Smoky Mountains. Her agent arranged for the resort owner, Brett, to "take care of" Kristin. So he sets up an itinerary for her, goes to some of the activities with her, takes her dancing, etc.. Naturally, they start to have feelings for each other, but she's going home at the end of the month, so they hesitate to move forward. The conflict comes from Kristin wondering if he might be her wish come true and Brett's guilty conscience because she doesn't know he knows her pen name.
One thing I really liked was how accurate the author was when it came to describing their trip to Dollywood. I live in the area and love going there. She was so accurately detailed that I felt like I was walking through it myself.
I usually prefer books that are a little deeper, so I do wish it had been more complex and a little richer, but if you're looking for a light, fun read, this is for you.

Andy Garcia-Ruse was the perfect choice to narrate
Revisado: 03-07-24
I thoroughly enjoyed Andy Garcia-Ruse's performance as the narrator. Her flair for the dramatic perfectly matched the feel of the book.
Abigail and Gavin meet when she rescues him and nurses him back to health. Over the course of the book, they go through trial after trial, some with potential threats to their relationship, but they persevere until they finally get their happily ever after.
To me, this book was really about Abigail's growth as a woman. She begins the story as a sheltered young woman who has never left her village, always subject to and obeying her grandfather to standing up for herself and refusing to marry the villain, from striking out on her own to finally making the biggest decision of her life as a strong, independent woman. Debbie did a fantastic job of journaling Abby's development and I found myself both cheering for her and sometimes wanting to shake her.
As a matter of personal taste, I do wish Abby and Gavin had gone through some of these trials before realizing they'd fallen in love with each other but that's because I'm not a fan of insta-love.
If you love a book with twists and turns, social politics and roguish companions, give this book a try. I think you'll like it, too :)
