This is the third book in a row that I have listened to by this author. I have a new fav!! The narration was excellent!! One of the best I’ve listened to in a long time and I am an avid listener completing 3 to 4 books per week. If you are in the mood for a good listen, that will leave you entertained, intrigued and pull at your heartstrings then this is the listen for you!!

My partner José and I have poured everything into opening this rustic farmhouse retreat nestled high in the Spanish mountains. Finally we’re ready to welcome our first guests. But a cold chill comes over me when I recognize Saskia. She’s part of my old life, the one I made sure to leave behind, and that José knows nothing about. Saskia knows everything about me—even the terrible secret I’ve carried for so long. She’s exposed me once before. Is she here to do it again?

Karen King’s Mother In Law was amazing from beginning to end. Sadly, this story was predictable and slightly confusing with the amount of characters. Im an avid listener purchasing 3-4 titles a week. I love Karen King’s writing style and look forward to more books like The Mother In Law - an all time fav!

Woefully Underwhelmed
Reviewed: 10-13-23
I was so excited for this book because Keogh and Robinson are one of my favorite author / narrator duos!!
The narrator was as wonderful as usual, but I thought the story was a bit morbid and lacking those exciting juicy bits that usually accompany Keogh’s novels. Sadly, this one was a bit difficult to finish.

From adolescent snogging to apartment shares, relationships, career crises, and children, Vince and Joy is the unforgettable story of two lives lived separately but forever entwined. Back in the '80s, teenagers Vince and Joy met, fell desperately in love, parted, and never quite said goodbye. Now, nearly 20 years later, they’ve both begun to ask themselves if that long-ago romance was the enduring love they’ve been searching for....

Lisa Jewell writes with such a richness that her characters live on in my mind for days and even weeks after the story is over. I’m completely raptured by this author’s ability to make me feel as if I’m right there with the characters hovering over them and thoroughly enjoying the story of their lives!!! Lisa Jewell is a literary genius!!! Loved it from beginning to end. Every single syllable❣️

"There’s someone I want you to meet," Belle says, as a man draws up to her side. He’s tall with dark hair and stubble on his square jaw. He’s not exactly smiling, but the corner of his mouth curls upwards as he slides his hand around my daughter’s waist.

It is past 10 o’clock on a cold Friday night when Rebecca and her husband Jack’s doorbell rings. Outside is a woman who introduces herself as Jack’s ex-girlfriend, Cara. And she’s holding the hand of a shivering, blue-eyed, four-year-old girl who she claims is Jack’s daughter. Rebecca is shocked to discover he has a child from his last relationship - even one he hadn’t known about. Because becoming parents isn’t part of their life plan.
