About this listen
One brokenhearted girl, three meddling sisters, and an intervention plan called The Monday ManDates....
MEET JULIETTE GUSTAFSON
Juliette, the eldest sister of the Gustafson Girls, is heartbroken after breaking up with her noncommittal boyfriend of almost ten years. Determined she isn’t “getting over Mike” quickly enough, her three sisters devise The Monday ManDates; an intervention plan requiring Juliette to endure what turns out to be a series of remarkably disastrous blind dates: TheraPaul, Frisky Frank, TAZ the rock star, and the stoic Tim Larsen, among others. Then there’s Victor Jarrett, the police officer with an affinity for pulling Juliette over when she’s at her very worst. But no one is more surprised than Juliette when she meets the only one who can right the wrongs in her past and change her future. But will she let herself fall in love with him?
MEET THE GUSTAFSON SISTERS
When Paul and Simone Gustafson are killed by a drunk driver, the lives of the Gustafson girls change irrevocably. Although raised by loving grandparents, it’s the G-FOURce—the Gustafson Four Sisters Club—that binds them together when their differences would tear them apart. All grown up now, Juliette has become the quintessential doormat, Renata, the self-appointed matriarchal figure. Phoebe is—according to Renata—borderline narcissistic, and Georgia is on the verge of a major identity crisis.
Then there’s Angela Clinton, the senior class darling who drove her cherry black 1970 el Camino into the side of their parents’ car on the night of Juliette’s high school graduation, leaving the girls orphans. Angela’s prison sentence is winding down; soon she’ll be eligible for parole and moving back to town. Will the G-FOURce be strong enough to hold the sisters together as they step into the eye of the storm that’s been brewing for the last fifteen years? Will they finally be able to let go of the past and embrace the future, no matter what it holds?
Note: The Gustafson Girls series is Christian Women's Fiction with strong elements of Romance.

Secrets can be funny things. We think they keep us safe, but more often than not, they spill out when we least expect and make a mess out of everything. It's a truth Scarlett Jo Newberry knows all too well-a truth Grace Shepherd and Zach Craig are about to learn the hard way. As the lives of this boisterous pastor's wife, polished news anchor, and beleaguered divorce attorney intersect in the tree-lined streets of Franklin, Tennessee, scandal threatens to topple their carefully constructed worlds.

Story
Veterinarian Aislin O'Shea runs a busy clinic. She wasn't looking for a relationship. She’d already had the perfect one. She certainly wasn't attracted to fancy pants executive, Ms. Zane Whitman -- she wasn't her type. Zane Whitman had it all. Stellar career, wealth, exclusive social circle, and models vying for her attention. Impulsive, emotionally charged Aislin was not her type. Two women from the opposite side of the tracks. Neither one expects meddling from an unexpected source on the Other side. Neither one knows the train is coming.

What a great story
What a great series. Loved listening to Juliette's story, beautifully performed by the author herself. I'm glad I got the stories of her sisters and their own love stories as well - meeting up with all of them throughout the series. Highly recommended.

Clean, sweet romance
I found this story to be amazing. The characters were well developed and the story line, while intense at times, was engaging and I found it easy to invest. I loved Juliette's neighbor, Mrs. Cork. The story was well narrated by the author. I am looking forward to reading or listening to the next book in the series.

I read these stories awhile back and was nice to have an audio to listen to them again. One can only imagine after ten years, no wonder Juliette is heart broken. Thanks to three meddling sisters, and they humorous ways we have a delightful story. Given audio which Becky added to the story. Given audio for my voluntary review

Fun, creative and great audio
What a good story!
I feel like I know these sisters: Juliette, Renata, Phoebe and Gia Gustafson. Ms. Doughty is masterful in her character creations. I’ve read these all out of order, but it doesn’t much matter. The reader gets to know each character In a book of their own, and we learn about the sisters as they interact with each other.
This story is about the eldest sister, Juliette. What an interesting person. Being in a long term relationship with someone who after 10 years doesn’t seem to want to commit to marriage is enough for anyone to tailspin. Juliette does.
Her sisters have an intervention. Their decision is to set her up with dates on Mondays with men each of them know to get her out of her slump and see what being with someone other than Mike is like. The result is hilarious.
Loved, loved, loved Juliette's reactions to each one, especially the musician/biker. He's the best character I've had the joy of reading about in a long time...(and we get to read more about him in Phoebe's story).
Great faith issues and life changing decisions. Well done.
Oh, and given the opportunity to listen to it read by the author? Do it! Ms. Doughty has a marvelous reading voice and she knows how to create the different characters so well. Sheer pleasure.

Juliette's journey
A wonderful read. Great narration. Juliette is floundering after breaking up with her long term boyfriend. Her sisters' idea of helping is to set her up with blind dates every Monday. Meeting Victor and Taz change her outlook and help her to find God.
