Second read / listen. So everyone knows that I’m having a difficult time with audio books. But this one was extremely well done. Thanks to those who suggested I should listen to this one to get out of the bad narrator rut. And I don’t know if it was the narration or what, but I […]

Just couldn’t get into this one A lawyer unexpected encounters her ex who is opposing a plan to develop where a historical building currently resides. Really, the plot had so much potential. They are both damaged by how things ended between them in college. But still obviously have feelings for each other all these years […]
