loved the book loved this too

absolutely loved this book the narrator did a fantastic job she didn't make Lucy sound like Julie Andrews in Mary Ppppins or a female Dick Van Dyke which sadly most American narrators do , sadly English narrators tend to be even worse at being English so congratulations

Not a bad read / listen

This book revolves around the two main characters who have major personal issues.
It is by no means a light read given the characters backstory.

It is a little predictable at times but there are many lesfic books out there so to a achieve uniqueness in this genre is near on impossible. That said, Claire creates a good well paced love story. In all the book is well written and  the dialogue is also good.

My only criticism of the narration is the English accents were a bit plummy for my liking, aside form that the narrator has a nice voice and is easy to listen to.

Story keeps you on the edge of your seat

This well written and narrated story keeps you on the edge of your seat. Every time you think all is good it takes another turn.
The title perfectly describes the story. This book is highly recommended.

Brilliant book

This is a lovely story of a life devastated and love saving them. I couldn’t put it down, wonderfully read and gripping right until the end. A must read.

I'm like anything I've read before in the best way

I play Love this book because it was like nothing else I have ever listened to before. I feel like this book can connect to so many different people because of the major issues that it covers such as abuse an issues regarding sexuality. The women in this book while both struggling with their own issues connect on a level that in a way help heal each other. I also feel that one of the women having two children both affects how they dealt with issues and how they both overcame some issues. I just can't express enough how much I really enjoyed this book I was completely hooked from the beginning and love how it came together in the end. I both enjoyed the listening aspect as much as the story itself.

Gritty Romantic Suspense story.

I'm not really into romance novels in a big way, but having read a couple of the author's other books I decided to give this book a try on audio. Ms Highton-Stevenson can certainly put a story together! With some romances it's all about girl meets girl, fall instantly in love, have sex, have a misunderstanding, fall out of love, then miraculously get together, more sex and a HEA. Not this book, yes there was some sex scenes and a HEA, but, most important of all, there was a gritty story that kept you listening. The characters were imperfect scarred women who came over very well and the children were endearing (perhaps I'm a bit biased being a Grandmother of 3 gorgeous little girls, the younger two being twins).

The story was about two women who'd really been through the mill in an earlier life and had come upon each other by chance. It was about them learning to trust again and little by little letting their guard down until eventually they were able to love again.

The narration suited the story and certainly was paced well for moving the story along. Though I'll never get used to the American pronunciation of the word shone. I guess it's similar to the mispronunciation of the word scone!

All in all I found the story really gripping!
