Life, Love and the Pursuit of Happiness: A Bell Sound Novel

by Sandra Hill Narrated by Megan Tusing

Overview

Welcome to Bell Cove, North Carolina.

Independence Day may have just passed in this small Outer Banks town known for its famous bells, but one ex-Navy SEAL has a declaration of his own to make . . .

Merrill Good knows there are many different kinds of exciting. There's the adrenaline rush he experienced during his years in the military. There's the thrill of starting up his own treasure hunting company. But topping them all is the surge of exhilaration he feels every time Delilah Jones crosses his path. Smart, voluptuous, and outspoken, Delilah is a bombshell with a secret that could explode at any moment.

Since Delilah moved to Bell Cove to take over her great-uncle's Elvis-themed diner and motel, the locals have been nothing but friendly. And that's a problem. The moment someone gets close enough to figure out her ex-con past, her future will be jeopardized. But keeping Merrill at arm's length isn't easy when the rest of her body has other ideas.

Add to the mix Delilah's little girl who fashions herself “Little Orphan Annie,” a former showgirl grandmother with a gambling problem, a whole town full of quirky matchmakers, and there'll be fireworks long after the Fourth of July . . .

Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2019 - AudioFile

There’s trouble ahead on sea and land, as both give up their secrets. Narrator Megan Tusing’s sultry voice heats up a tale—half adventure, half love story—that’s full of secrets off the Outer Banks. Merrill Good, ex-SEAL and treasure hunter, falls into steamy, passionate love with Delilah Jones, ship’s cook, motel owner, and ex-con (a closely held secret). Tussing’s portrayals of Delilah and Merrill grow huskier and deeper as their lives become more entangled and their love affair gets hotter. Tussing’s voice drops as she delivers the male roles; grows childlike for Maggie, Delilah’s 5-year-old; and turns perky for Delilah’s grandmother, a former showgirl now a grandmother. A host of characters populates the search for riches beneath the sea, each with a slightly different voice—but nary a Carolina accent. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
