About the author

USA Today Bestselling Author Kristen Ethridge loves watching waves at the beach, eating the perfect taco, and reading books that leave her with a smile. Some would say her superpower is keeping alive one husband, three children, and six guinea pigs during their adventures across Texas--but that's not entirely true. She actually earned her sparkly cape for writing her signature style of Sweet Escape Romances--stories with hope, heart and happily-ever-after--for Harlequin's Love Inspired line, Hallmark Publishing, and Laurel Lock Publishing. One reader (who wasn't her mother) called Kristen's books "very good escape fiction" and that's pretty much the nicest thing anyone's ever said to her.

still convinced ai wrote this, but pretty good tbh

[Q Cash · Rating 4 out of 5]

I listen is the audiobook on two long drives this week. It took about 4.5 hours on 1.75x. It wasn’t what I was expecting. But it was a pretty good listen. Turned into more of a romance and Church type story that I thought it was going to be about. No complaints just an observation. Would probably not read or listen to anymore in the series since they aren’t free but if you are looking for a feel good love story, it is worth the read. Think Hallmark movie.

Traumatic event, love story, love of animals & a touch of how to live life by faith. Two people who hated each other end up finding out what they are really made of when they have to spend time together. Very well done. Listened to the audiobook and loved the story.

Love the story line. Still not sold on Apple narrative. AI just loses the inflection of emotion.
