About this listen
Love was a four-letter word, and trust was an even worse five-letter word that Joy Marshall had no patience for. Young, beautiful and a successful attorney, Joy is any man's dream, but since her life became a nightmare after her father divorced her mother, she wants nothing to do with the heartache that love can bring.
Lance Bryant isn't fooled by Joy's cold hearted exterior. He knew she was the one for him at first sight, and would stop at nothing to help her find her way back to love. But even the charismatic Lance Bryant is no match for the pain that has been inflicted on her heart. Joy will need a spiritual intervention that only God can bring if she is ever to truly open her heart and mind to the possibility of love for a lifetime.
The Marshall family discovers that although weeping may endure for a night, Joy Comes in the Morning, so you might as well go on and praise Him anyhow.

Story
Omega Addams thought it was a typical work day until a detour on the way home changes everything. She's almost killed, but an innocent bystander, Mitchell Franklin, takes a bullet for Omega during a gas station robbery. In the aftermath, Omega has no idea that God expects her to “pray it forward” until a spiritual battle unfolds before her eyes. Another innocent bystander is in trouble; unless Omega gets her prayer life together, others will die without Christ. It's a chain reaction that highlights the responsibility of a Christian—hot, cold, or lukewarm.

The Jamieson saga continues with the Queen of the family in this inspirational romance. She's the mistress of flirtation but Philip is unaffected by her charm. The two enjoy a harmless banter about God’s will versus Queen's, who prefers her own free-will lifestyle. Philip doesn't judge her choices — most of the time — and Queen respects his opinions — most of the time. It's perfect harmony sometimes.

Good Carry Over
This was a good followup to Tears Fall at Night.
I liked it but thought it was a waste of a chapter to repeat the entire 1st chapter. Good storyline and look forward to the rest of the books in this series.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting aspect of this story is when the blended family had to be in the press box together. The least interesting part is Joy's anger towards her dad, even when her mother had forgiven Joy's father.
Did Lisagaye Tomlinson do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, although I did not care for her voice I definitely could tell the difference in the characters.
Was Joy Comes in the Morning worth the listening time?
Yes, and I was so glad when Joy let go of her anger.
