Audiobook Review: Promise (Rogue River #1) by L.B. Dunbar, narrators Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield

 

Blurb

A heart-mending romance for a small town marriage-in-repair between reunited lovers seeking a second chance at love later in life.

Dart Rivers is my ex-husband, or so I thought.

Three years ago, he drove out of our small town to chase racing dreams, leaving me and my broken heart in his rearview mirror.

Couple goals and shattered promises brought feelings of failure on both our parts.

Then one night, a special delivery is left on my back step. A stork-drop of sorts. (Think Baby Boom). At first, I believe there must be a mistake, but when the sweet bundle swaddled in pink gazes at me, I’ll do anything to keep her.

Enter Dart Rivers again.

An accident on the track leads to him sneaking into the house, crashing on my couch, and announcing he’s still mine.

Close proximity provides honest conversations, friendly couch time, and familiar attractions. With silver speckled in his hair, Dart is still the best-looking man I’ve ever seen, making my belly flutter and my heart beat again.

But can I trust that fragile organ? Can I give my ex-not-ex-husband a second chance? Can I believe Dart’s new promises?

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was a second chance for Trinity and Dart. Restlessness, looking for something more for him, had Dart leaving Trinity behind. Trinity gave up on their marriage and filed for divorce. When a little surprise fell into her arms, she took this blessing to heart. Then Dart returned and came with a big surprise. I loved how patient Dart was and how accepting he was of Trinity's little bundle, with the usual misunderstanding and noncommunication keeping a wall between them. Their hearts knew the truth, and happiness was had by all. A good story, worth the read.

The narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield added to the story. They did a great job with all the emotions this book required.

This is my unsolicited review.
