These 2 books are so good. I listened to them. I was hooked from the beginning. I like how Elizabeth and her dad shared similar experiences, but she chose to stand up for herself. I was also glad that she ended up with Daniel since Matthew didn't have the guts to stand up for Lizzy. Nicely written.

These are the best audible books that I have ever listened too.

The two stories included in this set are about Lizzy and Daniel and how they deal with alcoholism. The books are beautifully written about that hard subject. But, the way the author has the characters, especially Lizzy, rely on the Lord is truly wonderful. Alcoholism is a very hard subject and it affects many people. So these books are quite relevant. I highly recommend the set. The Lord and love can really work miracles and these books depict that. I did receive a copy of the books, but the review is my own opinion.

These books are the first two in the series about Lizzy and Daniel. Don't be expecting a romance or a 'light and fluffy' read, these are more 'women's fiction', dealing with a lot of series issues and are strongly Christian in content. Lizzy marries Daniel (a non Christian) early in the first book, unaware that he had alcohol issues and a violent past. Throughout the books we see Lizzie's personal and spiritual growth as she works through some difficult times with her relationship with her parents and in her commitment to keep loving her husband. I look forward to the continuing story in book 3.

I had previously read the books in this series and I totally enjoyed them! I received a free audio version of these first two books from the publisher. This review is my own honest opinion of them. Daniel is a man that enjoys fun and the minute he is introduced to the aristocratic Elizabeth he sees something he wants. Lizzie is a sweet girl that has had her heart broken but is determined to get over it. These two people have many challenges ahead including the snobby parents who no one is good enough for. My heart broke in so many places in this story but then it would soar! This book is not just a romance, it also has lots of suspense. But the main thing I enjoyed the most was how Ms. Duncan is able to weave the love of God throughout. This book doesn't preach at us, Daniel would never allow that! Instead it takes us on a childlike journey into getting to know our Father God and His love. An amazing story! Even though I had read these books I totally enjoyed how the narrator brought it to life. Encouraging me to listen to the entire series!

Really enjoyed these books. It is easy to feel with the characters-both Daniel and Lizzie, as they struggle to see how God is working in their individual lives. Yet Lizzie remains steadfast that God has led her to this place and to Daniel. You will cry with them and be keen to read the next chapter in their lives! I did receive an advance copy from the author but enjoy giving my honest opinions.
