A Beautiful Wholesome Live Story

I wish young women all over would listen to this. I have been where Rosalind was with Tony. The story was so accurate. Girls do t need to give in to all the false flattering s of me. Who want only one thing. Unfortunately many think the man they are with isn’t like that but I am here to tell you if they act like him they ARE!

It was a beautiful story of individuals with depth who have overcome many of the challenges life has dealt them. It is so refreshing to have a story that deals with the very core of our being and that is God.

I was a little disappointed in the way it ended hoping there would be a little more.

Loved every minute!

This is the first time I have read (or I should say "listened to" a book by this author...and it definitely won't be the last! It's a sweet and tender love story with believable characters and a touch of mystery. I also really liked the thread of charity and God's goodness woven through out the story. And a bonus was the narrator! She is wonderful!

Good Story

A very nice clean love story although I feel there should have been more interaction between the main characters to solidify their connection & love story.

Sweet story

Left a lot of things that went wrong not solved. This only 3 stars for the story.

Good morals without preaching

It is a good story with interesting characters. I found myself hoping for the best for each of them. i actually was worried that something bad might happen to someone. Thankfully, in the end, all is well.

Great romance novel!

Great novel. Really sweet story. The author is a great writer. Definitely recommend this book

Great story

Enjoyed the story line. It kept the reader interested. I want to read other books by this author.

Fun Behind the Stage and Fun With Family

I really enjoyed this story! It's not a deep, heavy tale but just the right amount of fun. There are a few concerning things like why Rosalyn flees her employer, a troublesome encounter in London, and a rogue actor. There is also why Nate is so determined to return to the army. The theme of God's provision at just the right time is woven into the fabric of the characters lives so naturally, I found it to be a great reminder.
I thought the behind the scenes of theater life was very interesting and fun most of the time.
The family relationships are perfectly portrayed here. I loved the Moran family!
Highly recommend this!

Sweet Story

I appreciated the family focus. The sisters in the orphanage & especially the Nate Moran family. Rosalyn fit right in!

Sweet Romance

I really liked it, creative. Liked character development and the theatre backdrop. I recommend it.
