Summary

Scarlett Oliver's life hasn't always been easy. Though many believe it has. The lyrics in her songs come from her soul and the music that accompanies them from the world around her. Both help her to get through some of the toughest times in her life.

When she was 18, she planned to marry her true love...until he abandoned her at the altar and ran away with her best friend. She threw herself into her music and built a career most would envy. Everything seems all right until the only man she loved returns, and his very presence might destroy her carefully crafted facade.

Jensen "JD" Drake has always loved Scarlett. His one regret was leaving her behind to pursue his own dreams. He allowed her to believe he cheated on her so it would be easier for him to leave, but no woman has ever held his heart the way she has.

Now a starting catcher for the Sparkle City Suns, he's come home, and he intends to stake a claim on her heart once again. It won't be easy, but nothing worth having ever is.

Through all the heartache, Scarlett never stopped loving JD, but she doubts she can ever trust him again. There are too many years and uncertainty between them to go back.

Just when she starts to hope, something else threatens to destroy her, and she'll need JD more than ever. Healing old wounds might be the salve Scarlett needs to find the strength to survive the upcoming agony awaiting her.

too forgiving

Scarlet and JD had always been the pair. On their wedding day, JD jilted to pursue his dreams. Years after, when they are successful in their careers, they met again. This was where the story continued.
This is a short story, good for one sitting. Scarlett was great (and I feel too forgiving). JD was ok, and extremely lucky. Though it could happen , I didn't feel as realistic as other stories, thus rating it as 4 stars. I have the audiobook and the narrator was great, making the story entertaining.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The essence of a great romance

This audiobook is a bit short with less than three hours, but it contains everything that makes a good romance - the essence, in a manner of speaking.
The story starts when JD left Scarlett at the altar. It was amazingly easy for me to pick up on the emotions at this point. Scarlett processes her deep wounds in her music, but when JD comes back into her life it becomes dangerous for her well protected heart.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting any further content, but I was surprised with the additional dramatic twists and turns and the supernatural sense of some of the characters. Unfortunately, all these details are just mentioned but could have been much more. I also missed some clarifying conversation. With all these great ideas, the story could have been twice as long. It remains the essence of a story that entertained me well but could have been a lot more.
The audiobook is narrated by Rhonda Cusumano. She got a great sense for the emotions and I liked her interpretation of the different characters.
