About this audiobook
Cord McMillan gave up his freedom at 18 when he went to jail for a crime he didn't commit. Now, 10 years later, he's about to give it up again for a piece of land. Nevada Britain, his neighbor, has just made him an offer he can't refuse: If he'll marry her, she'll sign over a section of property that their families have been fighting over for 100 years. Nevada refuses to explain why, but Cord knows the bargain is in his favor. He just has one condition - she has to sleep in his bed every night for as long as their doomed marriage lasts. Nevada only wants to maintain her family's legacy - and redeem herself for a wrong she did Cord years ago. But as she spends more time with her husband by necessity, she discovers something unexpected - a love so deep it takes her breath.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Every time author Jodi Thomas takes me to Harmony, TX, she shows me something new. Ms. Thomas is a superb storyteller, and my admiration of her grows with each book. The sixth book in the "Harmony Series" is "Can't Stop Believing", and it will make a believer out of you. Cord McDowell was imprisoned at age eighteen for a crime of which he was innocent. A decade later, having been free for several years, Cord works as a mechanic to keep from losing his family farm. Both of his parents died while he was in prison, and by the time he made it home, their savings had vanished. His time in prison had hardened his heart, and the only thing he really cared about was keeping his homeplace, which bordered the land of his rich neighbors, the Britains. An age-old boundary feud still simmered between the two families. Cord is stunned when his wild-woman neighbor, the beautiful and much-married Nevada Britain, makes him an offer he can't refuse. She proposes a marriage of convenience for eight months in order to pool their land and resources, plant a crop and sell a herd of cattle. In exchange, Cord will be given clear title to three hundred acres of the border land, as well as other financial incentives. Nevada expects Cord to live in her home for the duration of the marriage, and he expects her to sleep in the same bed with him as long as they are married. When Cord presses Nevada for further explanations about her impulsive, intriguing offer, she admits that one of her former husbands is bothering her, and she hopes he will be deterred by her marriage to Cord. A relationship that starts as a business deal becomes much more complex when hearts and hopes and mutual attraction are added to the mix. Two people who thought they knew what life held in store are surprised and enriched by an unexpected emotional connection. The town of Harmony and its history, the wonderful secondary characters, and the humor and heartache, all add to the incredible appeal of this story line. If you've ever thought you'd lost it all, and then somehow, you found a second chance and held on for dear life, then you will absolutely love "Can't Stop Believing". Harmony, I hope to visit you again--very soon.Book Copy Gratis Berkley Books
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Now THIS was a proper visit to Harmony !!
I have read the entire series, and after the last book left me a bit 'underwhelmed" , I wasn't sure if I should bother reading another in the series, but Jodi Thomas didn't loose any of her magic.
This book has featured my new favorite male character ever- Cord - I have a feeling the local prisons will have single ladies flocking at the doors in hopes of finding a man like him. (not that I would recommend that)
I wish , I wish, I wish, that the next harmony book that Ms Thomas will not focus on giving us NEW people to meet, but revisit the old ones, the ones that were left hanging out there... Like Ronny was (and that was a shame) the first time Ronny and Marty were presented it was one of the most lovely times I watched a couple grow together and as individuals. I was engrossed in every word, and then the way it ended I could feel how heavy Ronny's heart was as mine was too. Skipping a book then coming back to them is a bit of a cheat to any new readers and I remember how much I loved the story but at the same time it would have been nicer to even be it's own seperate book as the love story between them was SO incredible.
Thank-You Ms. Thomas, You gave me joy once again. I think anyone who loves Historical Fiction should read this series beginning to end. It is a keeper!
