Just wanted to say thank you both for all the great work you do and how it is so wonderful to have God in every way in the mix,,,,so many hours of joy reading and listening to the books 📚 😀 😊
Thank you Jessie and Jay. I really enjoyed the way you played the different voices. You get better and better as you go along. Thank you for yet another enjoyable one!
I enjoyed this marriage of convenience romance. Longtime enemies from childhood work for best interests of a couple children. I liked how dedicated this book was to Becky. I always appreciate the emphasis on choice over feeling and on following God’s prompting. He sacrificed everything for us, what are we sacrificing for Him?
Jessie really can make a marriage of convenience into a plausible love story. Jay always does a great job bringing it to life. The old ladies were a hoot. The community is supporting and loving. Can’t wait to see what happens to the rest of the people in Strawberry Sands.
I love listening to Jay after I have read the book. My review: Another delightful story from Jessie Gussman. Kristin and Luke have avoided each other and basically insulted each other since “the lake incident” in middle school. Now they must reconcile their differences in order to help two girls. The characters are wonderful and the interactions are believable. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I received a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary, honest review.
I loved Kristen and Luke’s story: a marriage of convenience when the couple is actually in love… but they don’t know it (and that is even better)! It was a great read! And I was glad to know more of Becky’s story as well. I can’t wait for the next one to know what her friend will do about his father’s situation. I recommend the book and the whole series! Thanks for voicing it Jay! :)
Thank you so much, DC! It's my pleasure! (And the next one is definitely worth getting excited for - I'm recording it now, and the writing is SO good!)
I already left a comment but the following is my review of the book. I loved this enemies to lovers romance between Kristen and Luke in Strawberry Sands. Luke tried to avoid Kristen because her grandmother kept trying to get them together. When Luke found out that Becky, an orphan, wanted Luke and Kristen to be the parents for her and her sister, Rita, who is in a foster home that only wants her for the money they receive, he and Kristen decide to get married. I highly recommend this heartwarming clean Christian romance with lovable characters. I received an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review. I listened to the audiobook besides reading the ebook which enhances the experience.
I always enjoy your channel since you are dedicated to reading Jessie's books and every time a new one comes out I think it is my favorite then another favorite comes out. Your variety of voices for all the characters makes the audiobooks more enjoyable also. Thanks for using your talents, both you and Jessie.
This book is getting surreal. My name is Joyce. My mother-in-law’s name was Alma. My dogs name was Bruno. Have you been invading my dreams, but I gotta admit I’m loving the book.
This is a great story made better by the narrator. His narration brings the story to life I really love this series. It’s a very heart touching story. You could read it as a stand alone but you should read the whole series. The author does a great job keeping the story alive. Luke and Kristen have been at odds since they were teenagers. Kristen’s grandmother keeps trying to set her up with Luke.
This was a great story! I love how real it got with the girls - that taking them on wasn't going to just be a walk in the park. Jay, you did an awesome job of all the different voices. Thanks for keeping me entertained today. 😊
This is such a fabulous story, and Jay you are so amazing, I think that there are more than a dozen voices you do and as a listener I can tell who it talking as each voice is so individual. Jessie has written a story with so many wonderful messages and characters, I just loved this story!
Thank you Denice! I'm so glad you enjoy it - it's a little challenge to keep up with them all, but it is so much fun! And yes, this definitely another wonderful message from Jessie!
Thank you so much for this wonderful story. I loved the older ladies, the foster girls and especially the main characters who change their lives to take care of two young girls. So well done by Jessie and Jay.
I'm sorry, Kim. That's all my fault. I've been meaning to change that blurb for a while (I write them before I write the story, and sometimes the characters don't do what I want them to!) and it's just gotten pushed to the bottom of my list. I'll try to get it fixed soon.
Not to disagree with the boss or anything 😁, but **I** really should have caught that. So sorry, and thank you for letting us know! (And I'm very glad you liked the story!)

So glad you enjoyed it, Erralee! Thank you!

I love this story! People who want to do God’s will, and do it is so encouraging
Thank you, Jim! I agree - it's a really encouraging story, I think!

So very well said, Michaela! Thank you!
You are a deep, intriguing thinker, M Gussman.

Thank you so much, Wren! I agree - Jessie is an absolute master at that!

Thank you so very much, Karen! I know for my part, I'm so fortunate and blessed to be able to read Jessie's books - I'm so happy you enjoy them!
Thank you for another book. It was awesome, love them all. Can't wait for the next one to come
Thank you so much, Cheryl! So glad you're enjoying them - and I'm working on that next one right now! 😁
This book is getting surreal. My name is Joyce. My mother-in-law’s name was Alma. My dogs name was Bruno. Have you been invading my dreams, but I gotta admit I’m loving the book.
That is pretty wild, Joy! You'll have to ask Jessie about the dreams, but I'm sure glad you're enjoying the story!
This is a great story made better by the narrator. His narration brings the story to life

I do too! Thank you, Geneia!
Thank you so much for posting another of your amazing audiobooks best wishes to you and your family
Thank you for listening, Marta! Hope you enjoy it!
Loved the story but am a bit confused...the narration doesn't match the blurb above. The story takes place in the summer, not at Christmas time.
I'm sorry, Kim. That's all my fault. I've been meaning to change that blurb for a while (I write them before I write the story, and sometimes the characters don't do what I want them to!) and it's just gotten pushed to the bottom of my list. I'll try to get it fixed soon.
@@JessieGussmanauthorNo worries, just wanted to bring it to your attention. The story was great regardless!
Not to disagree with the boss or anything 😁, but **I** really should have caught that. So sorry, and thank you for letting us know! (And I'm very glad you liked the story!)
Listening 19, October 2023.
I’m enjoying this book I didn’t Jessie was working on more books. Will this strawberry series go on longer?
Glad you like it, Coach! Yes, she definitely has several more books in the series planned (although I'm not sure of the exact number)!
So so beautiful.xx
Thank you so much, EV - so very happy you enjoyed it!
