De: Janice Cole Hopkins

Narrado por: LB Neibaur

Lily Brandt was glad when her father decided to move the family from Duluth to a farm in Iowa. She didn’t want to keep encountering her former fiancé and his new wife. But would Iowa turn out to be any better with her sister’s flirting and the handsome new neighbor’s quiet ways? She hadn’t gotten over Calem’s rejection yet, so she wasn’t ready for a new relationship, and she had her grandmother’s quilt to remind her to be cautious.

New beginnings!

This was such a sweet story! The characters were developed well and the story has a good flow. a light hearted, fun listen. I can possibly see another story coming with Lily's sister as the main character. I love listening to these stories. I love that scripture is interwoven in the lines.

Christian Historical Romance

This was such a wonderful story!!
I loved their shy neighbor immediately! Despite his great loss, he had a heart of gold and believed God had brought Lily into his life for her to be his wife as soon as he met her!
There are painful lessons the sisters both learn, but a beautiful ending with God's perfect plan!
I loved the narration and was impressed that she used accents for the townspeople to make sure each one's voice sounded different!

Sweet story

I love the characters and the plot. The sisters had such different personalities getting one into a bit of trouble. Great Christian story.

Second Chances

I really enjoyed this story. The story flows nicely and has interesting characters.
I would have a very hard time forgiving a sibling for what Lily’s sister does though. While they definitely have a rough time getting along for a while, I didn’t get the feeling it was because of her sister’s betrayal.
There is a happy ending and plenty of life lessons along the way.

great book

I listened to this one on audio. The narrator did a great job in bringing this book to life. This was a nice book to listen to. The characters were great and I liked the story.

New Hope, New Love

Two sisters opposite in every way. Hilde is detetimined to have a man; Lily is recovering from the hurt of her fiance deciding to marry someone else and has no interest in starting a relationship with any man. After her father moves the family from Duluth to Iowa of course the sisters are opposite in reaction. Lily is glad to get away from seeing her ex-fiance with his new wife; Hilde doesn't want to leave her home and friends. Their new neighbor, Adrian, enters the scene. Hilde flirts with him, but he has eyes only for Lily. Adrian was quiet and slowly developed a friendship with her. It's a sweet love story with two sides. Hilde who has her own story and Lily who must restore her faith in God and in men. I think this is one of my favorite books from this author.

The narration on this is wonderful. LB Neibaur does such a good job bringing the story and the characters to life.

I received this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Sweet Romance

Listening to this book, Lily, Christmas Quilt Bride, book 10 was a delight. The narrator was wonderful. Lily is heartbroken, after a break up, but when her father says, he wants to move his family to Iowa after an accident. She’s ready for a change. When she meets her new neighbor, Adrian, she wonders, but is not quite ready to start a new relationship. As the two become friends, there is also the spark of something more. Could he be the one, that God intended for her. Could the quilt Adrian gives Lily at Christmas, be the defining moment.
I was given an ARC of this book by the author, for an honest review. 

Sisters learn what's important

Both sisters learned important lessons in different ways. Hilde, Lily's sister, is envious of Lily's relationship with Adrian. When she meets Dirk she doesn't look at his character very closely. God saved her from a harrowing experience despite her willfulness. Lily jumped to conclusions when she saw a flirt talking with Adrian. Both sisters could have saved themselves and others unnecessary worry and trouble if they had sought God's guidance for before trying to work things out themselves. Just like us.

A sweet listen

This was such a sweet story. I enjoyed watching Lily and Adrian's relationship grow. it was nice to see her relationship with her family was also good... she wasn't spoiled like her little sister who liked to create drama.

I loved the ending and the significance of her Grandma's quilt that was mentioned throughout the story.

I really enjoy books by Janice Cole Hopkins. The narrative was done well on this.

Great!

What an emotional and beautiful story. Lily was treated awful by her fiancé and he married another woman. Lily and her family moved to a new home and Lily found another man and she began to have feelings for him. Then she thought the same thing was happening to her again. The narrator was great and brought It to life.
