Coming Home

Written by KJ

Narrated by Ruth Guice

What would happen if your regular, ordinary, safe, everyday existence suddenly became…not any of those things? When Samantha Markson, Ordinary Person, is thrust into the life of Abigail Taylor, Not At All Ordinary Person, it proves to be an experience like she’s never had before. World famous actress Abigail Taylor is in Melbourne filming her new movie, and is accompanied by her nine year old daughter, Grace, because Abigail wants her to experience an Australian education for three months. Sam Markson is a teacher at one of the best schools in Melbourne, and is perfectly happy doing that, thank you very much, when she’s suddenly redirected from the classroom into the job as Grace’s teacher; a move so fast that even blinking would feel like slow motion. Sam has never met anyone like Abigail Taylor, and she starts to realise that her ordinary life might actually be missing something extraordinary.

"Best-selling author KJ has created a beautiful, heart-warming romance."

This was a sweet romance! I thought maybe the relationship came about kind of sudden in the beginning—where the characters hadn’t really interacted much yet but it was still really lovely. The narrator took me a tiny bit to get into, but I ended up enjoying her “Abby” voice a lot.

4 stars. This was a really sweet story that I enjoyed very much.

Teacher Sam and world famos actress Abby were really cute together, but the romance was almost overshadowed by the great relationship between Sam and Abby's daughter Gracie Grace. This was so heartwarming. All secondary characters were well drawn and fun, too.

All in all, there were a few minor things I didn't like, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ruth Guthrie is a narrator to watch out for. I understand she is new to the business and there were a few bumps in the book with the pace (sometimes it felt too slow, especially during the bed scene), but overall she did a really good job and I'm looking forward to listening to her next narration.

Loved this story and it was only enhanced by the narration.

Bravo! I loved it! The love that bloomed between Sam and Abby was beautiful, and how well Grace took to Sam, too. The humor was wonderful -- I laughed SO much! I frowned and was heartbroken. I was scared and shocked. Happy and warm & fuzzy. I was mesmerized by depictions of love, romance, and sensuality. Such an array of emotions to be experienced when you read and/or listen to this book. In addition, it was beautifully narrated...I love the Aussie accent! <3

This book made me laugh out loud with some of the lines uttered by the co-main Sam, and was a mostly lighthearted, really sweet love story perfect for when you want that kind of a listen. Without giving too much away, It was also refreshing to have characters admit to their feelings with honest conversation than the running away that occurs in most romances. Well done.

Such a nice love story, with enough excitement and angst to make it fresh. Recommended!
