SECOND CHANCE AT SUNFLOWER RANCH The Ryan Family, Book 1

Narrator Chelsea Hatfield brings the listener to Sunflower Ranch in Texas as Jesse Ryan returns home after 20 years as an army medic. There he finds his former best friend, Addison Hall, living on his family's ranch with her teenage daughter, Mia. Hatfield's performance provides a strong sense of Texas without being overdone. She portrays Addison as strong and self-assured and Jesse as kind and caring yet still masculine. Mia has the most dynamic change as the teen develops from a willful spoiled brat to a mature young adult. Hatfield successfully conveys her maturation by moving from a predominantly petulant tone to a more pleasant one. Listeners will be engaged by the renewed romance between Addison and Jesse.
