Story
Katherine wasn’t looking for anything extraordinary in her life. She had a job she loved, a husband she adored, and a home in the beautiful seaside town of Moonstone Cove. Okay, yes, she worked too much and had fallen out of touch with all her friends, but that happened to everyone, right? And sure, she was feeling a little creaky in the mornings and couldn’t drink coffee after noon, but that was just life in middle age.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

The next, I’m divorced and living in the guest room of my ex’s hotter-than-sin cousin’s place in Savannah and talking to an animated skeleton named Robert. I have to admit, Robert isn’t my worst date. At 41, I didn’t think I’d be starting over. But I’ll be damned if my ex thinks I’m down and out because he pulled a fast one on me. When a job comes my way that offers me a chance to use my childhood training in the shadow world, I take it.

Prose style not to my liking

Publisher's Summary
For Kate Mitchell, finishing her master's thesis on reclusive photographer Reed O'Connor was just another item to check off her list. She knew exactly what she was doing. Or did she? There's just one portrait that doesn't fit. One portrait... and the passion she sees behind it. Finding the story behind O'Connor's picture becomes Kate's obsession, and the people she meets will challenge everything she thought she knew about life, love, and inspiration. A single picture can tell more than one story. And in the end, Kate discovers that every real love story is a unique work of art.

Interesting story
I was very surprised by this unique story. It was well written, intelligent and well performed.
A masters student is doing her thesis on a well known photographer and finds a photo that captures her imagination and piques her curiosity. She finds out that her professor and friend and his wife are friends with the man. Some interesting tidbits on his life are exposed and she takes off on a journey of investigation of the photographer as well as one of self discovery.
This was a free read/listen for me as a kindle unlimited subscriber but it would definitely be a story I would purchase or use a credit on

An interesting read
I liked reading about all of the creative, gifted characters. Some of the other reviewers complain that this work is too different than her Elemental Mysteries. I think it's unfair to expect a book about artists to be as action-packed as one about vampires. It stands alone, as I think every good book should. It was beautifully written and I really enjoyed listening to this piece.

Great group of friends with a dynamic couple at the center. How do the relationships work when the heart is broken? It is all set in an art community with creative and headstrong personalities. Love it.

If I could give it a zero
I couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes. I wish the sample had gone longer. The female character has no backbone and is unable to think for herself. If you want a book where the substance is getting into bed, go for it.

A story that pulls you in
It took me a while getting started on this story, but once I did, I couldn’t stop listening. The story drew me in with an intensity that I forgot the world around me and visited New York and so many places in Southern California. I loved how the story played out. How intertwined the two love stories became as the story unfolded. The narrators did an amazing job with it as well.
I warmly recommend this is to others.

Slow start but got better
The early chapters seemed cliched, and I was sure I could guess how the story would develop. I was pleased, however, when a mystery appears that the main character proceeds to unravel over the remainder of the book. The art references & personalties are still somewhat insubstantial and stereotyped respectively, but tolerable. Entertainingly narrated.

Sweet and Romantic
The story was a discovery of love and lovers, and the things life does to encourage and destroy it. There are more than one set of main heroes and heroines in here. I really enjoyed they it went back and forth between the past and present to tell the characters' stories. Very well written indeed.
The narrator did an excellent job with capturing the emotions throughout the story of both male and female characters. I look forward to listening to more audio books by her.

I love this author and I have read the story more than once. I adore the crabby H, Javi. sometimes it's hard for me to get into the story when one voice actor is doing male and female parts. I was distracted by this for the first 20% or so, but it grew on me and soon I didn't notice. very good performance, she nailed Kate and I really felt the emotion behind this beautiful story. I will definitely listen to this one again, which I think is pretty high praise.
