From a Readers’ Favorite award—winning author and “queen of the family saga” (Aherman) comes The Parker Sisters a new spinoff series of the Married in Montana series. Dealing with the fallout of a costly mistake that has divided the Parker family, Scarlett becomes that girl, the one she never wanted to be. But what everyone doesn’t know about Scarlett Parker is that she suffers from a crushing … crushing lack of confidence which she hides with outrageous behavior. Until one day she sets her mind to going her own way, with big plans for her life which don’t include living the same one as her sisters, or having anything to do with her father’s ranch. That is until one day she meets a man who is everything she is not. A man who belongs to no one and turns the tables on Scarlett, when she is suddenly the one who is forced to face her hidden fears, and the one being tamed.

Scarlett Parker has created some rough times for herself, mostly due to her underlying lack of self-confidence. When Emmett Bloodstone enters the picture, he helps her build her confidence, and what starts as a simple driving lesson becomes so much more. That is until circumstances from Emmett’s past create a backlash that send Scarlett running.
This romance carries a touch of heartache, that leads to a bit of drama, which surprisingly has Scarlett making some very grown-up decisions. This is an engaging romance that actually will tug at your heartstrings and have you rooting for her HEA. But nothing’s easy when it comes to Scarlett, so it’s going to be a bumpy ride, but it’ll be so worth it in the end.
The Parker Sisters are quite a handful. This was Scarlett’s story and it was somewhat bittersweet. She still hasn’t made up with Mason and still feels like an outsider with her family. Her determination to gain her freedom was inspiring though. She starts driving lessons again and all sorts of things start to change for her. Very sweet story and am hoping there’s another one to wrap up all of the sister’s stories.
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
This is Scarlett’s story. She is feeling very alone and unwanted within her family. Mason hates her and she feels that everyone is against her. She decides to take driving lessons after failing her test numerous times. This time it is Emmett who is her instructor. She has never seen him before but he is seriously hot stuff. He notices how fearful she is behind the wheel and wheedles out of her just how unloved she feels. What a great story and I loved it.
Scarlett has finally grown up.
This is a review of the audiobook,
Overall – 5
Performance – 5
Story – 5
The Parker Sisters has been a fantastic series and Go Your Own Way is one of my favorites. The stories in the series could probably stand alone but I think you will enjoy them much more if you read them in order.
About the narration: This is my third audiobook performed by Mary Jane Conlon; I really love her voice. She doesn’t just read the story, she performs it. Her different voices are great and the inflections she gives to the text are right on point. I tend to be hard on female narrators as I usually find their voices just not as pleasing to my ear as a male voice. Mary Jane Conlon is one of the three or four exceptions for me so far.
About the story: Scarlett has done a lot of things to alienate her sisters and give her parents cause to worry about her (you learn about these in the earlier books). In Go Your Own Way she finally realizes the mistakes she’s made and we learn more about what her motivations were and how remorseful she is.
She’s determined to finally get her driver’s license after failing the test more than a couple of times. Her new instructor, Emmett, turns out to be a really hot professional race car driver who purchased the driving school as an investment at a bargain price. The office of the driving school is a mess and Emmett hires Scarlett to bring order to things.
Go Your Own Way is a story with a lot of depth to it. Scarlett needs to repair the damage done to her relationship with her family. Emmett has some personal things happening that cause a rift in their budding relationship. These are just a couple of the things that kept this story interesting.
One of my favorite things about this series is that the books are quick reads/listens; just perfect for an evening’s entertainment. Ms. Eckhart does a great job with this length of book and I look forward to reading or listening to more of her work.
