Mr Right

I love all of the Aspen Cove series. I am going to hate it when it ends. This one was one of my favorites. I have many but, I enjoyed how Reese and Brandon story plays out and how Kelly keeps you guessing on the out come. Reese is a sweet loving person who has been through a lot in her life and coming to Aspen Cove is where she finds answer to her why questions. Brandon is just thinking he is coming to find answers and ends up finding love! I would recommend the whole series. Thank you Kelly for another great read from Aspen Cove.

Reese & Brandon are so Sweet!

One Hundred Intentions is such a sweet story. Brandon Fearless and Reese Arden are each strong, independent, fierce people, though neither of them really realize it. Their backstories are filled with drama and tragedy, and I love how author Kelly Collins has brought them together—and to each other. The charming town of Aspen Cove works its magic on each of them, as it does with every new character in this fabulous series. The overarching plot is sweet and inviting, and I love how we learn more about the town residents as we meet these new characters. The twists and turns this story takes kept me engaged from start to finish, and the narrator does a good job of bringing the characters to life. I particularly enjoyed how well he did at acting out Sara Arden’s role in the novel!

One looking for answers, the other a muse

Another gorgeous story in Kelly Collins, Aspen Cove.
Two wounded people find themselves heading to Aspen Cove for two entirely different reasons.
One trying to find answers in regard to his recently deceased sister and the other needing to take back her life and get away from a controlling mother.
Not realising that just being with each other soothes each of their souls.
A beautiful story of revelations, secrets and the power of a town coming together to show strangers how much they care.
I love my time spent in Aspen Cove, meeting new people plus reconnecting and following up with what’s happening to the rest of the community.
Always happy to drop everything and read or listen to this series.
I thoroughly recommend it.
Also love the narration, Logan McCallister is a joy to listen to.

Heartwarming

This was a sweet, heartwarming story of love, loss, secrets and discovery. Reese and Brandon both captured my heart right from the beginning. I loved how Reese could be herself with Brandon and how he was such a rescuer, especially when he needed rescuing himself. Of course Logan McAllister does a wonderful job with the narration, as usual. This was such a sweet story and I am looking forward to listening to it all over again! Thank you Ms Collins for giving me the opportunity to listen to this wonderful book.

Another winner in this wonderful series

I have loved this series from the first book and this latest audiobook is another wonderful story filled with heart. A constant through out the stories are Doc and Bea.
If you are new to the series, Bea was a much loved citizen of Aspen Cove. She left letters to various individuals and little by little these have all found a second chance in life and love.
This is the case for Reese Arden and Brandon Fearless. Reese, an author, has stayed in the background throughout her life. Her stuttering has kept her from voicing her feelings. The move to Aspen Cove is her step to a new life. Whom she never expected to meet was Brandon. A soldier who has lost his sister and is on his way to the Aspen Cove to uncover his deceased sister’s past.
Will these two find the questions they seek?
Will they find each other in the process?
Another winner in this wonderful series.
The narrator Logan McAllister does a wonderful job with the voices.
I was entrusted a copy of this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Narration Made Reese Sound Whiny, but It Was Ok

*****Audiobook 1/24/24****
The narration was pretty good. If I had one comment, it would be that the narrator made Reese sound more whiny than she came across in the book.

****Ebook 3/17/22***
Each visit to Aspen Cove is always enjoyable. Not only do I get to go on a journey with a new couple, but I get an update on the residents I have already read about in previous books. A 4.5 star read.

Reese and Brandon exhibited that instant chemistry, but didn't act on it. They were both slightly damaged. As usual, Aspen Cove and everyone who lives there has a way of healing the damaged, broken parts of people and making them whole. It was nice to see the pink envelope appear again. I thought we might have seen the end of them.

I did like the battle between Reese and Sara. It could have really gone off the rails, but Reese managed to get her point across and salvage the relationship. She also managed to regain important moments from her past. I thought it was really sweet the way the town came together for Brandon and Reese.

This was a sweet, romantic, feel good book. Something I really needed with everything going on in the world now. I was able to read it in one sitting. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book received via Booksprout.
