Two classic stories of finding love where you least expect it! Marriage Wanted: As far as Nash Davenport's concerned, marriage isn't shelter from the storm - it is the storm. He's a divorce attorney, himself divorced, who believes no married couple can live up to their wedding vows. My Hero: Would-be romance writer Bailey York has already failed twice at love. She thinks men are wonderful to read and write about, but that's it. Which is probably why she has such difficulty creating a hero for her novel. What she needs is a real-life example.

FIRST BUT NOT LAST!!!
This is my first novel by Debbie Macomber but it certainly won't be my last. It's also my first for narrator Carly Robins. DM and CR make a great pair! I never stopped listening once I started this novel. Loved the characters and the development of each one by Ms. Macomber. Normally I don't like endings that leave one hanging but because I know that this ending opens the door for the next in the series, I'm ok with it. I'm downloading the next in the series as we speak. So glad I found Debbie Macomber and rest assured that I will look for other books by her that are highly rated.
Worth the credit???? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Frustrating production
The story was good, but the narrator often decreased her volume at the end of sentences...so we were a bit irritated trying to figure out what the last words were...over and over and over...ugh!

Like a Hallmark movie!
I prefer “nice” romantic novels. I don’t like explicit sex scenes or when characters meet and then almost immediately jump into bed. I really enjoyed this story and liked the characters. The narrator was very good with both the female and male voices. I will definitely listen to the entire series.

Kind of depressing
All the men in this book seem to be angry all the time, and unreasonable. Granted, the women respond in kind, but all the conflict in this book makes me want to listen to something happy. I don't usually read romance, I think I'll be sticking with that plan and go back to mystery and suspense, and cozy mysteries.

Not as good as her other books.
I've listened to a lot of Debbie Macomber books and have enjoyed all of them with the exception of this one. The reason I say this is only because the men in the book were harsh to their women, very harsh at times. Maybe if I knew the reason Ms. Macomber wrote the book this in fashion, I could better understand. Some of the parts, especially about the young people and the new teacher were really enjoyable. So, with that said, it was an ok book that I struggled listening to but did finish.

Disappointing for this Macomber fan
I have been a Debbie Macomber fan for a long time. I really enjoyed the Cedar Cove and Rise Harbor series. But I'm sorry to say that this will be he second book I am requesting a refund if my credit for. I did finish the book, but was very disappointed I the constant fighting and making up and then more fighting between mist of the characters. I won't be seeing what happens to some if the characters because I will not be finishing the series. I will maybe read a new series from Macomber, but not this Dakota series. I read for enjoyment and this one just didn't do that for me.

Not typical Macomber
A bit too dark and negative for my liking. I love Debbie's feel-good novels, like those in the Cedar Cove series.
