Blackberry Summer

By: RaeAnne Thayne

Narrated by: Amanda Leigh Cobb

Claire Bradford needed a wake-up call. What she didn't need was a tragic car accident.

As a single mom and the owner of a successful bead shop, Claire leads a predictable life in Hope's Crossing, Colorado. So what if she has no time for romance? At least that's what she tells herself, especially when her best friend's sexy younger brother comes back to town as the new chief of police. But when the accident forces Claire to slow down and lean on others - especially Riley McKnight - she realizes, for the first time, that things need to change. And not just in her own life.

The accident - and the string of robberies committed by teenagers that led up to it - is a wake-up call to the people of Hope's Crossing. The sense of community and togetherness had been lost during those tough years. But with a mysterious "Angel of Hope" working to inspire the town, Riley and Claire will find themselves opening up to love and other possibilities by the end of an extraordinary summer....

Well done!

Great book for those absorbed in their own problems. Giving to others can fill that void and maybe give back the very thing you have wanted. Loved the story and the characters! Thanks for writing this book.

Thenarrator was able to convey the story with ease. I enjoyed the story hope there will be more to listen to.

Good book

Good story but the back and forth and back and forth was too much!!! Took up too much time

Great Read

What did you love best about Blackberry Summer?

A lot of twists and turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out, it threw me for a loop.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Riley

Good but too sweet

I wanted to yell at the heroine quite a lot and tell her to grow a spine. Half the characters in the book walk all over her, disguised as “I want to be a good person”. Being a doormat isn’t a positive message; being assertive is healthy. It’s still a good story but could have been better. Narration was good.

I enjoyed the writing of this book but felt the narration was lacking. I hope the narrator improves in the next book in this series.

I really liked the story. Characters were described well bringing them alive as the story progressed. Ms. Cobb performed the reading very well.

A lovely story

I enjoyed another book from the series. A light read with memorable characters. I think you will be pleased to learn more about the individuals that live in this quaint small town.

Felt like I was in Colorado and became become a part of the small town community. Main characters were relatable and struggled with real life situations, but were able to overcome by thinking/taking action on how to help and heal with support, encouragement and love.
