I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Lucinda Gainey. I loved the narration.

After listening to the other books in this series, I can honestly say that I did not see this one coming. In the other books, Maureen and Frank’s characters are mother and father to their grown children. In a brilliant move, Ms. Michaels takes us back to the beginning…back to when Maureen and Frank met and fell in love. Their story was wrought with conflicts and hardships, but it also is strewn throughout with the attraction and love that has brought them together and kept them together through all those kids.

I think my favorite part is when older Frank brings Maureen flowers and she questions what he is feeling guilty about. After sputtering in indignation and defending himself, he tells her that he loves her and just wanted to do something nice for her. He ends up declaring that the next time, he will save himself the hassle and just bring her home a ham. A ham!!!

This book was also very cool in that Michaels also gives us updates on all of the other couples. Can you guess what’s coming to the McCullough’s? It is certainly worth the time to listen to find out!

Thanks to Valentine PR for the gifted copy of this audiobook. All thoughts are my own.
