About this listen

 Miles Ryan's life seemed to end the day his wife was killed in a hit-and-run accident two years ago. Missy had been his first love, and Miles fervently believes she will be his last. As a deputy sheriff in the North Carolina town of New Bern, Miles Ryan not only grieves for Missy, but longs to bring the unknown driver to justice.

Then Miles meets Sarah Andrews. The second grade teacher of his son Jonah, Sarah had left Baltimore after a difficult divorce to start over in the gentler surroundings of New Bern. Perhaps it is her own emotional wounds that make her sensitive to the hurt she first sees in Jonah's eyes, and then his father's. Tentatively, Sarah and Miles reach out to each other. Soon, they are both laughing for the first time in years...and falling in love.

Neither will be able to guess how closely linked they are to a shocking secret - one that will force them to question everything they ever believed in...and make a heartbreaking choice that will change their lives forever.

It starts with tears, keeps you guessing, keeps you interested and praying. I found myself enveloped in this story, not moving, holding my breath and thankful that I was being read to because there were points I wouldn’t have been able to see the words for tears. One of the best stories I’ve read/listened to in a very long time. The narrators voice was very soothing, keeping you interested and able to see the story he is telling. Moving on to more of Nicolas Sparks stories I think...

Keeps you intrigued...

This is my third Nicholas Sparks book and I absolutely loved it. I was captured from the moment I started listening to the narrator and wondered where he was leading to. The plot was immaculate and well crafted and kept me guessing throughout. A wonderful and beautiful love story!

I usually like Nicholas Sparks as his books have been a guilty pleasure for me. They aren't literary masterpieces but good comfort reads. So I was shocked to find one that left me feeling so "meh." about it.

It was so very predictable to a point it borders on cliche. Even the end comparison I was thinking "Of course. ugh." and smacking my forehead. I mean, it wasn't a horrible plot but the characters weren't actually likeable and it just was not what I'm used to getting from Sparks.

But what do I know? I can't write a novel and he's made millions. Lol. But I still say that I can't imagine that even Nicholas himself is particularly proud of this one.

Save the credit. Try another.

Sigh. it was "okay".
