This Book!

WOW! This book is just WOW! My heart broke so many times with this book and then it was put back in a way that just awe's me. There is such heartbreak in this book but oh so much love as well. Honestly I do not have the words to truly describe the feels in this one. It is so good, from the writing to the narration! I definitely recommend this listen/read!!!

Charming, sincere, beautiful!!!

Audiobook: Narrators - Emma Wilder and Patrick Zeller

I LOVED this narration! Both of these performers did an exceptional job of bringing these characters to life. With plenty of heart conveyed in every word, and spot on accents, I couldn’t help but fall in love with Taron and Noel.


Oh my gosh! This is one of the most charming, sincere, sometimes painful, second chance stories I’ve ever read!


’I didn’t know which way love would take me, quietly or with the roar of a freight train. I should’ve known. I should’ve realized the moment I saw him.’


I absolutely adored Noel! She was smart and witty and extremely loyal to her family as well as Taron...once he won her heart. Determined to make her dreams come true, as well as proving herself to her brother, she worked hard to turn those hopes into reality. While she was dedicated to her chosen occupation, she remained soft, sweet, caring.


Taron never expected to find the woman for him while helping his friend out in his peach orchard. But when Noel falls into his arms, he knows immediately that is exactly where she belongs. However, he doesn’t run roughshod over her to get what he wants. His slow, easy wooing of her was perfectly romantic in every way.


I loved Taron even when life threw him down a hole that he couldn’t get out of, a hole he chose to hide in.


’Heaven is finding the thing you can’t live without and being able to hold it. Hell is knowing you’ll have to let it go.’


But I fell completely into adoration with him when he not only emerges from that place, but sets out to win his girl back, and then finds himself dancing with Angelina Ballerina. I’m sure my ovaries dried up years ago but Taron and Dove together were enough to bring them roaring back to life. TMI? Sorry, but nothing is more swoon worthy than a big brawny man with a tiny delicate little girl who calls him “Daddy”.



While this couple do have years of separation between them, and there is definitely moments of angst, it doesn’t consume the whole story. This is quite simply a beautiful story of first love and second chances.


’I’ve learned that love is a tornado, destructive and fierce and powerful. It’s also a butterfly, soft, gentle, beautiful. But to get to the butterfly, you must go through the tornado.’

Wait for Me

I adore second chance romances. I completely devour them and this one was no different. It is an absolutely beautiful story full of heart. It is sweet. It is steamy. It is heartwarming and angsty at times. The narrators brought even more emotion in to this story and had me completely hooked. I didn't want to put this story down. I love Tia's work and I definitely can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Fantastic love story!

What a great story of life displaying loss, family, passion, love, struggle and forgiveness with the greatest of these being Love.

Wait for me is a score!

Wait For Me is a hit! One of my favorite reads! I highly recommend this book in book and audio form!
The narrators are definitely better this time around!

Beautiful Love story

An emotionally jam packed read of a love that didn’t gets its chance. Taron and Noel’s love story began just as quickly as it ended. Taron and Noel part with the promise of returning after deployment but promises aren’t always meant to kept. Noel is left broken but little does she know Taron is just as broken and a lot scarred. When their love rekindles it is electrifying! A definite must read!!

❤️❤️❤️

So, if you’ve read, or listened, to Boss of Me (which I have & loved), you’ll know exactly who this book is about. If you haven’t, you’re still good, it’s a stand alone, but why haven’t you? You’ll love it. Anywho, this is about Taron Rhodes. You get to see what his story is before he started his life in the military (and his life changed). He decided to spend the couple of weeks at Sawyer’s peach orchard, helping out with the harvest before they both deploy, when the love of his life quite literally fell into his arms. Noel LaGrange is Sawyers little sister, but quite a hard working amazing beauty. She’s family oriented, she’s dream driven, and just like that she steals his heart. I’m going to stop here because you need to experience the rest. There are heart warming & heart breaking moments in here. There’s second chances, hard work, and an absolutely adorable 6 year old little girl named Dove who will melt your heart!! I wanna tell you everything, but I don’t want to ruin it for you. This is the first time I listened to Patrick Zeller narrate, but it didn’t take me long to get caught up in him. I dug it lol. And Emma Wilder is a good Noel. You’ll love this!!!

a second chance romance that’s a stand-alone

Wait for Me is a second chance romance that’s a stand-alone, but set in the same world as ‘Boss of Me’. Tia Louise is a fantastic storyteller and I always enjoy her books. I loved so much about this one, the first half was a 5 star read for me. Unfortunately, though I didn’t dislike the second half, it had my least favorite troupe. This is 100% my fault, as I didn’t read the blurb before reading the story and it states it pretty clearly.

Taron Rhodes and Noel LaGrange meet at the LaGrange peach farm. Noel’s oldest brother Sawyer and Taron are in the Marines together and decide to spend some time there to help with the harvest before they’re deployed. Noel is eighteen and getting ready to start college. The last thing she’s looking for is love. Taron is leaving and it’s a recipe for disaster, but these two can’t stay away from one another.



Gosh, I loved Taron and Noel’s love story. I loved watching it develop and seeing them fall for each other. The first half of the book had this magical quality for me. With just enough time to fall hard for each other, but not near enough time to spend together, Taron is off. He’s gone for a 18 month deployment but Noel is determined to wait for him. She just never expects that when he comes home, he won’t be the same…

Wait for Me was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I didn’t love the troupe, but I adored the characters, the writing, and a lot of the story. I love all of these characters and I am so freaking excited for Sawyer’s story! I can’t wait! Also, if you don’t have an issue with this particular troupe I highly recommend you pick this one up. It was the only thing I didn’t love about it.

Mending hurts

I was completely wrapped up in this story. I fell for Taron Rhodes in Boss of Me. He has a troubled childhood and then found love and a place to be but unexpected things happen and he can't go back. Noel is strong and sweet and has had to deal with loss for most of her life but when she looses the love of her life she doesn't think she will ever recover.

This book has it all. It's funny and romantic and tragedies and second chances. I loved all of it.

Patrick Zeller and Emma Wilder did an amazing job of bringing Taron and Noel's story to life. Enjoyed them from beginning to end.

I loved this book and highly recommend it. If you haven't listened to Boss of Me I recommend that too. These are stand alone books that the characters are tied together.

sweet brother’s best friend/ second chance romance!

Such a sweet brother’s best friend/ second chance romance!! It had it’s heartbreaking as well as it heartwarming moments! And it definitely had it’s sexy moments! The chemistry between Noel and Taron was intense!! Such a great read! Loved how easy they fell in the first half but absolutely loved the slow burn of the second half!! Taron is definitely my new hero!! He’ll make you swoon with how he is with a certain someone!! Definitely read it to find out!! You won’t be disappointed!
I absolutely loved the narrators! I’ve listened to Emma Wilder but Patrick Zeller was new to me! He has such a sexy voice! They did great together!
