Low Drama, Happy Story

Be One With Me is book two in the Finding Love in Green Springs series and can be read as a standalone. Sally goes in search of her father after her mother dies leaving her with no known family. After meeting her father she relocates to Mississippi to be closer to him and get to know him and other family members. There she also meets Nolan, the local mechanic, who is also a widower.

Nolan is smitten with Sally at first sight and from their first meeting, though Sally didn't have as great of a first impression. Sally also isn't looking for a relationship but agrees to friendship. The more time they spend together, the attraction and chemistry grows until they both give finally give in.

I thought the story line was interesting and had promise but fell a little flat for me in execution. I did like both of the main characters for the most part and liked the low drama aspect of the book. Lacy Laurel and John Pirhallaboth did a good job with the narration of the story. #TheFlock #PinkFlamingoProductions

Heartwarming...

I really enjoyed Sally and Nolan's story. They have both been hurt by their pasts so have shut themselves off from any type of personal joy... Until one fateful day but that too doesn't go according to plan... There are misunderstandings, some pride swollowing and a whole heap of heartwarming fun along the way with these two...

Amaze balls

The narrators were outstanding! The story just came to life, tore out your heart, stomped on it and then put it back together!! I loved this story. The angst was just right! I was speechless and in my feelings when I finished listening, but wow!

My Thoughts on Be One With Me

This was a first for me with this author. But she definitely made a good first impression. I liked the nice quick pace that kept me interested. I felt like things flowed smoothly and kept the pages turning. Both main characters were likable. I might have been a bit more partial to Nolan and his patience and kindness but Sally was good too. And I could understand her hesitation and high walls in light of everything she'd been through, not just in the beginning of the story but also her whole life really only having one main person to count on. I do wish there had been more explanation given for the secrecy from Linda and honestly felt bad for everything Sandy missed out on. But the story itself was enjoyable.

Lacy Laurel was once again excellent. I just really enjoy her performance every time. Her co-narrator was new to me and if I'm honest, I'm torn about him. I liked the way the story was narrated, especially with the POV style, but while I definitely felt John Pirhalla was great for Sandy and Elijah and would have thought this was perfect had this been done in multi cast style, I didn't really love him as Nolan. I would have been happier with a little bit younger sounding voice. But that being said, he was a good narrator.

Overall this was a good story and I would happily listen to more of this author's work.

Green Springs is the place to be!

I love when a story I listen to is fresh and new. This is the second book in the Finding Love in Green Springs series and it's story is just that. It stands alone and will only make you want to go back and listen to book one! CA Miconi crafts a story around Sally. Finding out her father is alive on her mother's death bed has her searching for him. What she finds is an unexpected family that welcomes her with open arms. She also meets Nolan. The town mechanic, he rescues her when her car breaks down. This man is immediately attracted to Sally, but she wants no part of it. He has no intention of giving up on his "city girl" though. A slow burn, a mutual loss and a love of the town has this couple destined to be together. Or does it? Will Sally leave her home in Chicago? Will her friendship with Nolan turn into love? It's an easy listen with relevant issues and brings out the good in people. I really enjoyed this story, and now will go back to hear book 1!

Lacy Laurel narrates the role of Sally, and I absolutely loved her! She gives her that sassiness that Sally has, yet Laurel has a way of adding a layer of vulnerability into that sass. It makes Sally very realistic and brings her emotions to the surface. John Pirhalla is new to me, and I loved him! What a great accent he brings to his characters, and an ease only the south has with their cadence. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Sandy and Nolan. This is a wonderful love story and amazing listen!

City Girl Turned Southern Belle

I loved this book! I loved Sally and how she was so unapologetically herself. I loved her fierceness.

Nolan was so accepting and amazing and such perfection.

This was such a sweet and easy read, brought out the endorphins making me smile almost the entire time I was reading this book. I was concerned at first with the opening to the book, it was sad and harsh and made me worry I was going to be crying the whole book, but it was the total opposite. I loved every second of it.

Lacy Laurel and John Pirhalla were so perfect, they had the emotions down pat!

Be One with Me

This is such a sweet romance that shows race doesn’t matter when it comes to love. Also that friends turn out to be the perfect choice for the one to fall in love with. I really liked this book as the narration was done very well.

Sweet romance

This is a sweet romantic storyline. I feel that Lacy gave such a great performance you could feel the emotion in her voice. It really heightens the book for me.

Sally and Nolan!

When Sally’s mother passed away a family secret is revealed which points her to Green Springs and she realized that she isn’t really alone. The small town life turns out to be a welcome chance and although she and Nolan didn’t get off to the best start it wasn’t long before the sparks started to fly.

Nolan is healing from a painful loss of his own and Sally is the first person to make him feel in a long time. After a few missteps by both of them due to their very different backgrounds they realize that love and family is all that really matters.

I listened to an audio copy of this story and thought that both narrators did a great job at bringing out the personalities of the characters they portrayed. 🎧The Flock

Sweet

I really liked this book, which is the first book I've listened to by this author. Sally is a city girl who finds out that who her father is when she's 40. She meets Nolan who is instantly attracted to Sally. Admittedly, she's so abrasive in the beginning that i didn't find his immediate attraction to her believable (and I'm a city girl). But both characters, as well as the surrounding characters, really grew on me and i started to love their interactions. This is generally low angst, focusing on both romantic and filial relationships and the story is a beautiful reflection on how important family really is.

I really enjoyed the narration! Lacey Laurel was the perfect narrator for Sally while John Pirhalla is new to me but had excellent range and was well paced. Overall, the narration elevated the story.
