About this listen

Do you believe in lucky charms?

While in Iraq, US Marine Logan Thibault finds a photo, half buried in the dirt, of a woman. He carries it in his pocket, and from then on his luck begins to change. Back home, Logan is haunted by thoughts of war.

Over time, he becomes convinced that the woman in the photo holds the key to his destiny. So he finds the vulnerable and loving Beth, and a passionate romance begins. But Logan battles with the one secret he has kept from Beth: how he found her in the first place. And it is a secret that could utterly destroy everything they love....

Critic Reviews

“There are only two people who can get away with writing chick-lit: Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks...Sparks has delivered another brilliantly addictive read.” (London Lite)

"A strictly curl-up-on-the-sofa-on-your-own affair...A guiltier than guilty pleasure - race through it with lots of tissues." (Heat)

"Sparks writes unashamedly romantic novels that make women weak at the knees...Once again, Sparks certainly flies." (Closer)

The storyline was good, I didn’t feel like the reader connected much with the emotions of the characters, felt a little monotoned.
But overall good.

Always love a story with a fabulous dog in it
Beths grandmother was a breath of fresh air
Beths ex was a piece of work
Youthful love is such a tragedy as in hind sight
Immaturity and naivety can make for life long regrets
Logan was a great character and his life had made him canny
If I had a good luck charm I would never give it away

the background music played over the narration as each chapter ends becomes very annoying but otherwise the story is great.

The story was not what I expected and seemed to rush parts of the relationship development between Logan and Beth. The narrator's voice seemed wrong for the story and the random bits of music in there were very annoying and didn't seem to reflect the mood of the passage being read. Not sure why they included them? Underwhelming given it has such great reviews.
