About this listen
What happens when you meet a man you can't take home to meet your parents?
Author Lorhainne Eckhart returns with a brand new generation of Friessens. An engrossing, big family romance series about family, commitment, hope, and making a relationship work. In this Friessen Family novel, an unexpected proposition leaves a young woman tempting fate that will inevitably end in heartbreak.
She looked him straight in the eye - those blue eyes that were so intense and she wondered what they'd be able to get her do? She was smart, levelheaded, and not lacking in self-confidence. She loved who she was; she had a family who loved her, and yet here she was sitting here discussing giving something to a man she would never consider giving to anyone.
Living on her parents' ranch in the middle of nowhere, most people would give anything to be part of her family and have the kind of love her parents did. But Becky Friessen needed more than quiet and stability. She craved excitement, action, a spark of adventure, and not letting anyone steer her into something she didn't want to do or living in a quiet piece of the world where nothing ever happened. Until she meets a man who shocks her with an indecent proposal that she finds herself actually considering.
He is a man she could never tell her parents about. He is a man she could never take home to meet the family. Only, fighting this insane attraction between them could have her agreeing to something that could be a one-way road to heartbreak.

I enjoyed this a lot.
I have over 50 ebooks by Lorhainne Eckhart in my digital library but, believe it or not, this is the first one of hers that I've actually read (well, listened to 😊). My husband and I like to listen to audiobooks together when we're in the car so we started this one while we were doing errands around town. We both got so engrossed in it that we finished listening to it on our Amazon Echo as soon as we got home.
While In the Moment is book 8 of The Friessens series it can be read as a standalone. I didn't feel like I missed anything by not having read the earlier books. Hpwever, I certainly do want to go back and read them now so I can learn more about the older characters in this story who have books of their own.
Becky Friessen is just starting college when she meets Tom, a handsome, sexy doctor who stitched up her finger after she nearly cut it off chopping a cucumber for salad. He's not like anyone she's ever met before and he wants her!
Tom isn't interested in having a relationship with anyone but he wants Becky and is up front with her about only wanting sex. As things go along he comes to realize how wrong he was.
One thing about this story surprised me a bit. Becky is only 19 years old, just out of high school, and Tom is 28. I know this is not a huge age-gap by any means but it just made me a little squeamish that a 19-year-old, sexually inexperienced young woman, would consider agreeing to the terms that Tom demanded. I don't think I'm naïve but will admit that I'm past 60 and, even though I was married at 18, my age probably has something to do with how I felt about this.
All-in-all, it's a really good story and does present the Friessen's as a caring family unit which is quite different from what Tom is used to. The book doesn't exactly end on a cliffhanger but it definitely left me wanting to read or listen to the next one.
About the narration: It's the first book I've listened to by Curt Bonnem and I think he did a great job. One of the reasons I wanted to listen to this book was because it had a male narrator. For some reason I usually prefer a male voice for audiobooks (although there have been some great exceptions). Since most of the books in this series seem to have a female narrator I wanted to see how this one compares. Now I just have to make time to listen to the other ones. 😊
I was given a code for the audiobook by the publisher but this did not influence my opinion of the story or my review.

Tom and Becky - 5 Stars
A Review of In The Moment by Lorhainne Eckhart
Tom and Becky - 5 Stars
I absolutely loved listening to this story and "seeing" it play out in my head as it was being read. This is another story in the Friesson family and how a cynical doctor learns that there really are families that have a strong love for each other and will support each other, no matter what comes along. Definitely one to keep and enjoy again and again.

This kept me listening!
I listened to the audio version of this book. It was my first by this author. The story had a dark side which I really wasn't quite prepared for (dominance). Having said that, the story was good. It moved along quickly and the time I spent listening was very pleasant.
The story paired a 19 year old girl/woman who has yet to start college and a 28 year old male medical student who is very demanding of his female companions. The story also brings in the Friessen family and their protectiveness of their daughter, so it wasn't all about sex. I liked that Becky exhibited enough backbone to stand up to Tom on certain things and that her family let him know that his controlling ways would not be tolerated. I listened to the ending twice to see if I had missed something, but I still felt like things were left up in the air. I guess I'll have to go to the next book!
The narration by Curt Bonnem was wonderful!

Terrifically Heartwarming & Passionate!!!
In The Moment was a fantastic read from Lorhainne Eckhart. This is the first book that I’ve ever read or listened to and I fell in love with Friessens. The story line was well written and these are characters readers will fall in love with. Becky is a first year college student trying to find her place in the world. Tom is a ER trauma doctor who not only has a dark past but a twisted way of seeing relationships and women until he meets Becky. When these two meet attraction burns hot and desire rages but will these two be able to disregard what society deems appropriate or twisted in order to find a love and relationship that works best for them? Filled with a dark past, family closeness, secrets, passion, and love this is a story that will have readers captivated from beginning to end.
