What if living a lie gives you the life you want to live?

Mary Masterton is a desperate woman. Facing the advances of loathsome suitor she can’t imagine marrying, she is short on choices.

Once more Mary finds herself in a hopeless situation: help the man she has come to love and risk losing him forever, or keep him in the dark and live a blissful lie.…

A nice sweet story with a little suspense, tension & well done narration. I really enjoyed this one and it wasn’t long drawn out.

I enjoyed this story. The main characters were good people and those that weren’t were adequately horrible. The plot developed nicely enough and concluded with a happy ending as abrupt as it was.

I am in two minds about the narration. Susan has a lovely clear reading voice, however, there’s often a pattern to the way she expresses non-dialogue sentences that i find distracting. It’s a shame as I’d enjoy her performances and the audiobooks all the more better if her style was expressive like Mary Jane Wells. Nevertheless, this is a nice easy audiobook to listen to and I recommend.
