It Was Always You

Audiobook review: Overall 5 Performance 4 Story 5 A great addition to the series, more Katy & Steven It Was Always You is another story in The Friessens saga that focuses on Katy and Steven. Their story began in First Love, on of the first books I read by Ms. Eckhart. They are also the main couple in Family First and Leave the Light On. You don't really need to have read those books to enjoy It Was Always You but I would recommend it if you like reading series in order. Steven and Katy were so young and in love in First Love but then things got difficult for them after Steven was severely injured. They've been apart for sometime now and need to finally settle things between them. Steven wants Katy to sign the divorce papers he's had for more than a year. Katy wants to take their son (who has been staying with her parents) back to live with her where she's started a new career. Needless to say, things don't go too well. This story is a bit longer than some of the others I've read in this series and it has a lot of depth to it. Once I started listening to it, I couldn't stop and finished it in one day. This is the first book I've listened to by Lili Dubuque and I really enjoyed her voice. One small thing kept me from giving her 5 stars (I'm pretty picky about audiobooks). There were several places where the inflection in her voice was off for the text that was being read. It's hard to explain in this review and it wasn't enough of a problem to keep me from loving this story. I wouldn't mind listening to additional books narrated by her. I am really looking forward to more audiobooks in this series. I received a free Audible code from the author but this review was voluntary and not influenced by the free gift.

an emotional rollercoaster of a story about a marriage who has fallen on bad times and their inability to cope and get past it.. now they're in the verge of a divorce and moving on with other people. She with the man who cared about her and he with the girl's bestfriend who had always had a thing for her husband, just waiting around the corner to pounce and had her way. But then realized they are still in love with each other. Overall a nice love story.

Steven and Katy will blow you away with their empowering story. When Steven is injured, it places an emotional hardship on him and Katy. Katy is on her own trying to handle everything and when Steven asks her to leave she does. Her emotional state leaves her in place where she is unable to take care of her child and leaving him with her parents is her only choice until she can get herself together. Fast forward and she is back to take hold of her life and retain her place with her child. What she didn't expect was the fallout not only from her parents but Steven as well. Get ready for a story that will touch you hearts and have you pulling for Steven and Katy to come together and rekindle what they had and still feel if they only look inside of themselves. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
