Summary
This recording has been digitally produced by DeepZen Limited, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. DeepZen uses Emotive Speech Technology to create digital narrations that offer a similar listening experience to human narration. From the #1 Bestselling author of Death By Honeymoon, comes a new romance series....

Nestled among trees and hills, set alongside a winding river, the small town of Tom’s River, Wisconsin, so beautiful and protected, is a place where everybody knows each other, a place where nothing ever changes and where people can feel safe. But one day, all that changes. Megan’s husband has gone missing, and no one can find him.

As the search deepens, Megan discovers the truth not only about her husband, but also about the secrets he’s been hiding in their marriage. Her world is shook as she realizes she’s been living a lie, has been in a relationship with a man who’s been living a secret life, a man she never really knew.

Some months after his disappearance, as the snows of winter melt, Hunter, a handsome, magnetic stranger, arrives in Tom’s River. A loner with a mysterious past, he is content with his solitary job at the lumber yard. But as a tornado ravages the town, he is destined to cross paths with Megan, as she seeks help to repair her damaged home.

Once Hunter and Megan meet, nothing is ever the same again. As he repairs the roof that blew off her home, the two cannot hold back their feelings for each other. They fall madly in love. Yet Megan cannot, once again, live with a man who is keeping secrets from her: she needs Hunter to open up about who he is, about what he’s running from. And that is not something Hunter may be ready to do.

As they face a crucial crossroads in their affair, a shocking and dramatic twist hits the town: one that will test their love, and will test the town. Nothing will be the same in Tom’s River again.
Reviews
What listeners say
Listeners found the audiobook's story engaging with surprising elements, but many were significantly deterred by the narration. The synthetic voice was frequently described as monotone, lacking emotion, and mispronouncing words, which impacted their overall listening experience. Despite these issues, some listeners appreciated the plot and were eager to continue with the series. Opinions varied, with some managing to overlook the narration to enjoy the story.

Good story but the narration was terrible.

Profile Avatar Chloe B. May 2022

Synthesised voice did nothing for it and the story was amateur hour. The ending was abrupt and bland.

Profile Avatar Anne R. Mar 2023

Great book terrible narrator

Profile Avatar Joscelyn Apr 2026

I think is boring and Long

Profile Avatar Leslie P. Aug 2025

My first thoughts are most definitely the terrible narration. It sounded totally flat and electronic even with the mispronounced words. The story was predictable to say the least. I deeply regret chosing this as my free book.

good story

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2025

I have so much to say about this book. firstly this author needs help. this lead is portrayed as weak and cheap. she does not know where her husband is but she's already sleeping around. and a 6year old saying " oh my god oh my god?" nah. then, whatever this narrator is on its either too strong or she's using too much...snore...pass

the narrator had absolutely no emotion

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2025

Narrator did a disservice to what could of been… the grass isn’t always greener on the other side however we can all dream for every action there is a reaction. For 1 person’s fantasy has impacted many lives. Was like jumping back

Profile Avatar Patelos Jun 2025

Was very slow moving didn’t finish.

Profile Avatar Michelle D. Jun 2025

Story-At a few points during the story I felt "so so" about the book. It was a decent storyline. It was the ending that made this 5 stars for me. BUT the narration was close to one of the worst. One tone, weird pauses, no emotion, mispronounced wording. It was in the "free" read choices so I do recommend. I'm actually looking forward to boom two.

Profile Avatar Carine Apr 2025

Story sounded nice but I honestly could listen anymore. The reading was so bad I couldn’t finish the story. I stopped at chapter 7

Profile Avatar Margaret E. Apr 2025

Terrible narration!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2025

The narration is hard to listen to. Weird story line. Not much romance for being categorized as a romance book.

Profile Avatar Latoria Mar 2025

Well I enjoyed the story once I could get pass the terrible narration. I have never tried. So hard to listen and replace the voice with my own voice until this audiobook. Once I forced myself to get over the voice and focused on the story it was fine. I also thought too much time was spent on the husband's disappearance and not the love story until I realized it was a part of a series. Now I want to read book 2 but I'm nervous that the narrator will be the same.

Profile Avatar Mammawtaz Mar 2025

very good story

Profile Avatar Molly G. Jun 2024

The story line was good enough, kept me interested. However, the synthesized voice ruined it for me. Why couldn't a real person or the author read it?? Please do away with synthesized reading.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2024

I’m sure this is a decent book but I cannot get past the horrendous narration. Doesn’t do it justice.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2024

The book and narrator were awful

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

Did not finish. Horrible

Profile Avatar Kat Nov 2023

It was like a robot was reading the book.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2023

Narrator detracted from book … weak story and hated the ending, non closure.

Profile Avatar JMd Sep 2023

If I could give zero I would. Terrible narrator which left all the characters flat. Story went on forever with an unreal ending.

Profile Avatar Letha A. Jun 2023

Good book. Can't wait till I get book 2

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2022

how could a computer do such an awful performance in narration?? if this is the quality it produces please don't ever use it.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2022

The narrator was absolutely aweful.

Profile Avatar Julie P. Sep 2022

I enjoyed the story

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2022

The writing wasn't very good in my opinion, but I still would have listened to try to get my money's worth except that the narrator was so horrible that I just couldn't stand it.

Profile Avatar Nicole W. Jul 2022

The story line was ok. I just felt that there was more to the story, but it just stopped and felt unfinished. For the narration. Synthesized voice?..Next time just say no. It was really hard for me to listen to and finish book.

Profile Avatar Richard J. Jul 2022

Horrible Narrating I could keep listening . Never finished book

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2022

The story is good, but the computer narration is terrible and full of mispronounced words.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2022

The story would be great but for that woman reading it is so monotone.
