"This book got four stars for surprising me. I was expecting a different, and preachy, book. The author made me feel for the main character and I will definitely be reading more books by her in the future."

" It was a fast read, and an entertaining story. A little unbelievable, on a regular basis. I was in the mood for the improbable, so it didn't bother me, but it did keep the rating to 3 rather 4 stars. "

" Inspirational historical romance. Very well written. Had just a tad too much ‘sugar’, though. Strong heroine. "
— Zaanodes, 2/24/2011 -
" This book was well-written, but as in many romances was full of completely unbelievable characterization. I still enjoyed it, but I wouldn't seek out the subsequent novels unless Amazon also makes those freebies. "

About the Narrators
Maurice England moved to the Chicago area in the fall of 2006, after a twelve year run as a long-haul trucker, to continue the cultivation of his lifelong interest in the expressive arts and oral interpretation. A veteran audiophile, Maurice listened to well over one thousand audiobooks while on the road and fell in love with the genre. From his past experience in broadcasting, community theater, music performance, and ministry he saw narrating as a means to merge his love for books, ideas, learning, and spiritual evolution with his interest in artistic expression. While his narration experience has primarily been nonfiction, personal development, and spiritual-growth titles, Maurice anticipates using his authentically warm and folksy southern style to entertain and inspire through storytelling. Inspired most by the behind-the-scenes artists who engineer, direct, edit, and master the audiobook productions we hear, Maurice has become an absorbed student and participant in the process.
Renée Raudman is an actor and Earphones Award–winning audiobook narrator. She has performed on film, television, radio, and on stage and can also be heard in several video games and hundreds of television and radio voice-overs.
