Summary

Dr. Leigh Culver loves practicing medicine in Timberlake, Colorado. It is a much-needed change of pace from her stressful life in Chicago. The only drawback is she misses her Aunt Helen, the woman who raised her. But it’s time Leigh has her independence, and she hopes the beauty of the Colorado wilderness will entice her aunt to visit often.  

Helen Culver is an independent woman who lovingly raised her sister’s orphaned child. Now, with Leigh grown, it’s time for her to live life for herself. The retired teacher has become a successful mystery writer who loves to travel and intends to never experience winter again.  

When Helen visits Leigh, she is surprised to find her niece still needs her, especially when it comes to sorting out her love life. But the biggest surprise comes when Leigh takes Helen out to Sullivan’s Crossing and Helen finds herself falling for the place and one special person. 

Helen and Leigh will each have to decide if they can open themselves up to love neither expected to find and seize the opportunity to live their best lives.

Great book, amazing narration

Only Robyn Carr (read by the flawless Therese) could make me so thoroughly enjoy a story with a main character that annoyed the bejeezus out of me. I just wanted to slap Leigh senseless for half the book, yet it was still such a delightful read! I'll just say this: thank heavens for Aunt Helen!

A Lovely Wholesome Romance

This is the second of Robyn Carrs books that I’ve read about the lives and people in this town. I haven’t followed the sequence of this series of books, but it’s not really necessary as there’s always a sufficient backfill for all the characters. Therese Plummer is excellent in her narration. I highly recommend this series.

Non story

Dull story, no plot, no event, no creativeness just a boring account of the lives of an aunt and niece, I still can’t work out what the point was in publishing this
