WITH LOVE FROM ROSE BEND Rose Bend, Book 3

Narrator Mari's even-paced, soft, and expressive voice brings to life this lovely story of connection, family, acceptance, and love. Former football great Owen Stafford is hiding out in Rose Bend as a result of a car accident that sidetracked his successful career. Equally emotionally wounded Leontyne Dennison is hiding behind her job to keep people at a distance. She runs into Owen when she attempts to secure his help with a charity and discovers that he is the man she spent one glorious anonymous night with a year before. Mari portrays each of this story's various characters with just the right accent, just the right inflection, and just the right emotion. She draws the listener in, making the characters real and keeping the listener invested in each. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2022]
