Story
After her divorce, Charlene Dugan vowed never to get married again - a promise she has kept for twenty-five years. Until the fateful day she finds herself uttering the well-known phrase - "Let's get married!" Almost immediately, Charlene's seemingly perfect life begins unraveling at the seams. Daughter Stephanie's own relationship is about to disintegrate, and she might be just a teensy-weensy bit jealous of her mom. And Charlene seems to be spending more time with her ex-husband than with her fiancé, Dennis.

Welcome to Grace Valley, California - where blood runs thicker…ties are stronger…and love is all the more sweet. Visitors to the town often remark about the valley's peace and beauty - both of which are plentiful. Unlocked doors, front porches, pies cooling in the windows - this is country life at its finest. But visitors don't always see what lies at the heart of a community. Or just beyond.… June Hudson grew up in Grace Valley, the daughter of the town doctor. Leaving only to get her medical training, she returned home and followed in her father's footsteps.

Story
Nikki Burgess survived a terrible marriage and a worse divorce. She's just about given up hope of ever finding happiness. But when her ex-husband suddenly dies, she gets custody of her kids again - and a chance to start over. Dixie McPherson, on the other hand, has had way too much love. She has 11 tennis bracelets, dozens of trinkets, piles of sexy lingerie, and a tarnished reputation when all she ever wanted was true love, a partner, and a family. Carlisle Bartlett is loyal, kindhearted, and the funniest guy slinging drinks in the back of an airplane. But he has an ugly little secret. The only kind of love he's used to comes with bruises.

A satisfying but different Robyn Carr book
Maybe it was having a narrator other than Therese Plummer, but I found this a little different from Robyn Carr’s usual but delightful romance stories. Nonetheless I enjoyed both the story and the narrator. The latter, I felt was very talented in keeping the 4 women’s voices immediately distinct from each other. Particularly Beth’s voice always struck me as telling her whole life story in the resignation but also resilience that somehow came through in a single spoken word. I wondered if some of Sable’s experiences with fame, and Barbara Ann’s with publishing, came from Robyn Carr’s own life.
A satisfying listen well worth a credit.

Good story/liked the characters
I am familiar with Robyn Carr's Virgin River Series. You would never realize that this book was by the same author as it isn't a romance. It is a great read because the different female characters had interesting lives. I feel that the author gave a lot of insight into their development and you will find yourself thinking how you know someone like them, or feel that you can identify with some of their situations. It was a wonderful story of how these women all came to be in each other's lives. I also liked the book publishing thread that was woven into the plot.

Wrong Genre
This is such a good book that it needs to be in regular fiction, not in romance. Robyn Carr is a good author, her Virgin River series is comprised of books with interesting characters, plots and places, but her dialog from the male characters is so flawed that I am constantly reminded that they are "romance novels"
The main characters of this book are women, fully developed characters. Read it you will love it.

This is such a good story. Very different from anything I have read from this author. I appreciate the attention to detail in this book. I just loved it. Good to know another facet of Ms. Carr. Appreciated the narration. Thank you Ms. Carr & Audible.

Loved the story - not so much the narrator.
Robyn Carr doesn't deal with torture and really grotesque murder. I love her characters but I felt this narrator did a horrible job with the male voices. She made them totally without feeling and I didn't appreciate it. This won't deter me from future Robyn Carr stories. I only discovered her a few months ago and I read all of the Virgin River stories. They're light and they offer the perfect escape that I long for with these books.

Worth the read. Terrible narration.
The book was quite lovely. It was inspirational and reflective. Not a must read, but a "worth the read." However, the narration was awful. If she would have just stuck to one or two characters that would have been great, but the way she tried to do so many different characters was just too much. She failed miserably. Again, the book is a good "chick book" though. :-) I would recommend it. Just don't expect much from the narrator.

A hidden Robyn Carr Gem
Where does House on Olive Street rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best.
What did you like best about this story?
The unfolding secrets and struggles of the individual friends and how they all supported each other through the days after the unexpected death of their friend.
What does Christina Moore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The emotions shared between the friends.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Sable's visit to her little boy's grave.
Any additional comments?
After being a fan of the Virgin River books, this book was an unexpected departure from that genre and such a lovely surprise.

Worst Robyn Carr Book
Therese Plummer must have me spoiled, I couldn't listen to this book at all. It was the worst narrated book I've ever listened to. I've never disliked a Robyn Carr Book until now, since I was unable to listen to the entire thing I have no idea if it was indeed a good read.

Wonderful, poignant story! Great characters.
Four friends, four authors, drawn closer together by the loss of their best friend. As an author of more than 30 years, I felt a kinship with all of the characters. So much truth about the publishing world. Surprisingly, this is my first time reading Robin Carr. Can't wait to read so many more!!
Narrator Christina Moore did a fabulous job with the characters! I will definitely be looking for more audio books narrated by her.

Narrator ruined this whole book
I couldn't get into the story at all since the Narrator's voice was so "old" sounding. Way too raspy and not in a good way. As you listen to a book, you try to visualize what the characters look like and I couldn't get close as this raspy old voice ruined it for all the women young and old. Trying to visualize the Men in this was even worse. She made them sound like they were all 90 years old and dumb. I Love Robyn Carr books, especially the Virgin River Series, but this one I can't finish. I guess I might have to read it if I want to finish it.

Wonderful Story
I love books by Robyn Carr. This is a stand alone story, and I laughed and I cried. The only problem with the book is the amount of off color words, and the swearing. I had to keep turning it down when my grandkids came into the room. Since I told you about the language, I recommend this book highly.
