The Way to a Man's Heart: A Novel: Debbie Macomber Classics
Debbie Macomber · 2019
🎙 Narrated by Nancy Peterson
48/100
👎 Skip It
A sweet, clean opposites-attract romance with a charming books-and-diner premise, but the story is formulaic and there's not much independent coverage to lean on. Nancy Peterson did win a 2018 Audie Award for her narration, so the listen itself is a bright spot even if the story doesn't break new ground.
