About this listen
Author Jamie Beck returns with an engrossing series about family, friendship, and starting over. In this first Cabot novel, a legacy of secrets tests old friends seeking a second chance at life and love.
On the second anniversary of her husband's suicide, Colby Cabot-Baxter is ready to let go of her grief and the mistakes made during her turbulent marriage. Her fresh start comes in the form of A CertainTea, the restaurant she's set to open along Lake Sandy, Oregon, with help from her family. But when her executive chef quits just weeks before the grand opening, Colby is pressured to hire old family friend Alec Morgan. His award-winning reputation could generate buzz, but their friendship has withered since her husband's reckless dare cost Alec's brother his life.
Distracted by guilty secrets concerning the tragedy that changed his and Colby's lives, Alec self-destructed and lost his famed restaurant. With his career in tatters, he's determined to use this opportunity to redeem his reputation and to help the woman he's loved from afar find happiness again.
But secrets have a way of coming out. When Alec's do, they might destroy the new life he and Colby have rebuilt together.

Erin follows her heart - in love and otherwise - living a bohemian lifestyle on a shoestring budget and honoring her late father’s memory with a passion for music and her fledgling bath-products business.

Story
Nothing short of a miracle can restore Eliza Hayward’s Christmas cheer. The job she pinned her dreams on has gone up in smoke—literally—and now she’s stuck in an unfamiliar, if breathtaking, small town. Precariously close to being destitute, Eliza needs a hero, but she’s not expecting one who almost runs her down with his car! Rescuing Eliza is pure instinct for tech genius Aidan Caine. At first, putting the renovation of his lakeside guest lodge in Eliza’s hands assuages his guilt—until he sees how quickly he could fall for her.

From the beginning 'Before I Knew' pulled me in.
I enjoyed the book so much that I had my 85 year old Mother listen to it also. We are going to listen to the whole series.

Another great book by Jamie Beck.
This was another really good read. I got the audio version and the reader/narrator, Siiri Scott, did a very good job. I am looking forward to the next book, as well as others by Jamie Beck.

Debating on just reading it myself
If you could sum up Before I Knew in three words, what would they be?
Complex Family Drama
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator has me debating on finishing the book by just reading it myself. When she reads as the female characters (Most of them anyway) it's fine. It's when she is reading the male characters, she makes them sound so malicious, which i don't believe that is what the author is trying to convey. I listen to audiobooks all the time and often narrators develop/define each character's voice very clearly so it's easy to follow along. There were times when i wasn't sure whose voice she was in. Except for the moms, she was really good with differentiating the moms voices.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were points where i was close to crying, the various relationships are complex. Some made more dramatic than necessary.
Any additional comments?
Read the book before listening.

Terrible narrationL
I couldn't listen. I turned it off after 45 minutes. I'm not sure if it was that she sounded angry, or if she just over annunciated everything, but I could not focus on the story. I have never done that before. I'll read the book.

narrator detracts
I found it hard to enjoy what is probably a very good story due to the narration. Speeding playback helped but didn't solve all problems. That being said, the characters were sympathetic and interesting. I am looking forward to book 2, but may have to risk eye strain by reading the book instead of listening to the audio.

Ok
The storyline was good the narrator was poor. The heartache of loss is great then blame of a losing someone to a rare is tragic but the story never got to the proper steps to heal it is deeper and i was disappointed that she didn't go there. But still a fan.

Great Story
The narrator over annunciates. She sounds like she's reading a story to a pre school group of children. Everything else about the story was wonderful!
