About this listen

Is dating after forty really as hard as they say?

Well, Evie doesn't want to find out! Evie Jones is a widow of three years, with an eighteen-year-old daughter. Struggling to simplify her life and trying desperately to convince her daughter not to leave the nest. And her 'No Dating' rule is part of that struggle. So is selling her big house and moving into something smaller. To help with that plan, she hires a handsome contractor to complete her partially finished basement.

Sullivan Contracting owner Ryan Sullivan is still reeling from a bitter divorce. This handsome, hard-working bachelor, is starting to think he might stay that way. Especially after his best friends sign him up for a blind date that ends in disaster. But unbeknownst to them, Ryan has had his eye on someone special. Someone that has a strict 'No Dating' rule.

But when the attraction between Ryan and Evie builds, can Ryan convince Evie that some rules are made to be broken? Is he perhaps the one man capable of showing her that dating after forty doesn't have to be hard after all?

Steamy, funny, and romantic, "Evie's Haven" is a surprising mixture of laughter, swoon-worthy romance, and deeply emotional moments. Because life is messy, and laughter is too important not to share.

The perfect listen for a Sunday, I turned this on and was happy I did. This is my first Lisa Plaice book and it will not be my last! Evie's husband passed away three years ago, leaving her as the single mom of a teenage girl. Working her way through her grief and learning to do things on her own, she has had no interest in dating. Now she is doing a renovation to the house, one her husband envisioned and the contractor, Ryan is catching her eye. Ryan is divorced, a little younger than Evie and is smitten with her. Will he be able to win her heart? I loved this story for so many reasons! First, it's a second chance at love story for both characters who are mature. Second, the relationship between Evie and her daughter is so easy to relate to. Whether a husband in the picture or not, the spreading of wings is something that as a parent we are proud and as a parent we are scared and sad that our little ones no longer have the same needs they used to. It's a great story, easy to listen to, and easy to connect with. Loved every minute of this small town romance and can't wait to visit Haven again!

Maria McCann is the story teller and is she is fabulous. Filling my ears with all of the voices of this small town, she easily differentiates between characters from old to young and from male to female. Each voice is specific to the person and fits perfectly! I enjoyed hearing her portrayal of this story and will definitely be watching for more from her.

Loved visiting Haven!

This sweet and charming romance novel showcases mature characters who have already established their lives and are prepared to give love another chance. The characters are realistic and likable, easy to relate to and connect with, too. Evie Jones’ husband passed away three years ago, leaving her a single mom of their teenage daughter. Her daughter is looking at colleges and while she is hoping she will pick one close to home, her daughter has other dreams instead. Thinking ahead, she wants to get her basement finished, a job her husband started, but never got to finish. She calls Ryan Sullivan, the owner of Sullivan Contracting, to do the job. Ryan’s wife cheated on him and then made the divorce difficult, but he is ready to move on, except the woman he wants to move on with is not interested in dating. It was great to watch Evie and Ryan get to know each other, the chemistry between them was undeniable and it is a beautiful thing when they give into their desires. This well-written story has interesting storylines that captivate your attention and tug at your heartstrings the entire time. Lisa Plaice, thank you for this wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

She covered the roles of all the characters, giving each their own voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who was who.
