About this audiobook
Annie Adams is days away from her thirty-second birthday and thinks she has finally found some happiness. She visits the world's most interesting places for her syndicated travel column and she's happily cohabiting with her movie director boyfriend Nick in Los Angeles. But when Nick comes home from a meeting with his therapist (aka "futures counselor") and announces that he's taking a break from their relationship so he can pursue a woman from his past, the place Annie had come to call home is shattered. Reeling, Annie stumbles into her neighborhood bar and finds Griffin-a grounded, charming chef who seems to be everything Annie didn't know she was looking for. Within three months, Griffin is Annie's husband and Annie finds herself trying to restart her life in rural Massachusetts.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a mixed bag. Some enjoy the story but find it difficult to get into due to the narrator's performance. The narrator's cadence and delivery are distracting for many readers. However, there are also readers who push through and find the book entertaining enough to pass the time. Overall, the book has a good story but is let down by the narration. It is a perfect romance for those who enjoy Laura Daves' audiobooks.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the story it just took me a little longer to get into it. I think it is because I didn’t like the narrator as well.
