Story
Wyatt Fitzgerald doesn't consider his deafness a disability, and he doesn't want special consideration from anyone - least of all a spoiled city girl like Erin. He prides himself on his ability to read lips, and when she confronts him, Wyatt sees no reason to volunteer to her that he's deaf. But there's no escaping each other in the small Oregon town, especially once Erin seeks him out to make amends. Wyatt gave up on dating long ago, but the written correspondence he and Erin begin to share speak to him like nothing else ever has.

My comments.
Catherine Anderson does it again, anyone reading this review who knows me in person or follows my reading habits know I am a massive fan of this author. I have enjoyed every single book I have read by her and this one was no acception, another heart warming story teary in places but powerful and beautiful. The characters as always are well developed and easy to fall in love with. Can't wait for the next offering in this series and by this author. she's a very skilled writer and I look forward to reading her books every time a new one is coming out. The Kate Turnbull has been the reader for the whole of this series and she does a fantastic job. I am already looking forward to what Catherine Anderson might have for us next.

LOVED THIS STORY!!!
The stories get better and better with each book in the series. Catherine Anderson has a wonderful imagination and each story is very different from all the rest. Kate Turnbull brings characters to life and makes the listener want to know them better. Mystic Creek is a place where everyone wants to live or at least visit. I highly recommend this entire series. I'm moving on to the last book and I'm sure I'll be sorry to see it end.

The best of Ms. Anderson's!
I am so happy to have met and listened to this story of love. Also I am very glad to rate one of Ms. Anderson's books 5 stars finally. This book is truly worth listening to. I especially love Rip and Grandfather. Really looking forward to listening to the next books, and hopefully they will be included in AUDIBLE ESCAPE soon.

Another sweet installment
Loved Tanner. Wow a faithful dedicated dad and such a good man. Crystal had an uphill battle in life. It was so tragic what she endured. I wish I could shake her parents. Tuck and Essie added some wisdom and humor to this beautiful story. But I think Rip stole the show.

Spoiled rotten dog, sweet characters
I really liked this audiobook, but had a hard time accepting how rotten the dog was. I mean, the person who feeds and cares for him gets “pinched”/bitten every few steps unless she gives him a dog treat? And yet, he’s so well trained that he attacks and stops on command? Really? That aside, the characters were well developed and the story very sweet. Loved the little girl.

Spring Forward
Very disappointed in the narration! Many times narrator was speaking for a lady, yet sounded like a man! This is my very least favorite book by Catherine Anderson! Never kept my attention due to jumping from one person's to an entirely different subject!😓
