Lake Season

A Bluebell Inn Romance, Book 1

By: Denise Hunter

Narrated by: Nan Kelley

Romance and old secrets beckon in this small North Carolina lake town.

When her parents die in a tragic accident, Molly Bennett and her siblings pull together to fulfill their parents’ dream of turning their historic Bluebell, North Carolina, home back into an inn. Staying in town would be temporary - three years at most - then they plan to sell the inn, and Molly can get back to chasing her own dreams.

Adam Bradford (a.k.a. best-selling author Nathaniel Quinn) is a reclusive novelist with a bad case of writer’s block. Desperate for inspiration as his deadline approaches, he travels to the setting of his next book, a North Carolina lake town. There, he meets his muse, a young innkeeper who fancies herself in love with his alter ego.

Molly and Adam strike up an instant friendship. When Molly finds a long-lost letter in the walls of her inn, she and Adam embark on a mission to find the star-crossed lovers and bring them the closure they deserve. But Adam has secrets he isn’t ready to share. Past and present collide as truths surface, and Molly and Adam will have to decide if love is worth trusting.

Needed a man’s voice for the guys

Loved the book. Rated the performance with only two stars because it needed a man’s voice for the men. Just confusing on who was talking with only a woman’s voice.

Love Story

Enjoyed the simple, predictable story line. Light and easy to listen to. Would recommend to those who like a sweet love story.

Great story.

Great story. Unfortunately, the narrator did not do the story Justice. Her voice was too meek and sounded too high.
At times, I had to playback to decipher which character was speaking.

..all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose".

This isn't just a story, it is an example of God's goodness, His healing grace and ability to orchestrate a miracle in your favor.. more than you could ever dream of foe yourself. Loved it!

Great story, but narration needed more variety.

I loved the story, as I love all Denise Hunter's books, but I didn't like the fact that the narrator couldn't change voices between male and female characters. The brother and the male protag. sounded just like the girls in the book, very girly.

Book is Christian Romance

Great book with characters much better developed than most romance genre books. Well developed plot with real characters who could easily be next door neighbors or
actual members in your small town. I almost took a star off for hidden, but bone deep religious undertones. The author clearly values belief in God and following one creed. The belief issue intensified towards the end of the book. For me, it was cringy and unfortunately made me hesitant to purchase more from this talented author. Good writing, but it’s clear the author is making an effort to convert atheists possibly? I really don’t know and I don’t mind ethical and moral issues in the slightest. Being a good person does not necessarily mean believing in a God and I’m quite sure reading this author won’t make a believer out of you…

Lake Season

I almost gave up on this story, but I started all over and was able to get totally involved with the story line and the characters c

There were some seriously coincidental elements in the story, but it worked for me.

While I acknowledge that being recorded while reading can have its challenges and I don’t wish to be unkind, I found this reader’s character voices way to high pitched. I kept thinking of little mice (squeaky) voices. To me that was so off putting I almost quit the book, but the charming story got me through it.

Very nice story over all.

Good one

I enjoyed this story. It is a clean, cute book. I plan to listen to the next book in this series. It helped me pass the time while driving long distance.

What an awesome story

What an awesome story, I loved it. It’s kind of 2 or 3 stories in one amazing story. The characters are so real, I stopped for s moment to pray for them. Just a split second but that’s how real they are. The location is so perfect for the setting too. Everyone will Love this story and then want more!

Such an uplifting story

Such an uplifting story and Narrator kept me entertained and wanting more. I am looking forward to the next book.
