This is my first book by Jennifer Theriot. This was a story about Noel needing a change in her life. Deciding how and what she needed to do to make better decisions. It was a great Christmas story about finding love and self worth. I’m glad I read it and am intrigued to see what else I can find by this author. The narrator did a good job on this and helped lead the story where the author wanted it to go. Totally recommend this audiobook and this author!

Noel is trying to get over a bad divorce but with a string of hope that keeps dragging her back, can she put the past finally behind her and find love.
Noel is trying to recover from yet another deception that her ex-husband has done across her and is feeling pretty low at the moment, when her friend and customer invites her to come on a business trip to get over the heartache, she was not expecting to find love.
Leon is on a trip to his friends wedding, but when he meets Noel in the bar at the restaurant and they get on so well, will one night be enough. Until he rocks up to the wedding and he see Noel and can’t believe his luck.
This is a lovely story and a true overcome your past book. I love the banter between the two main characters and the story is well written but I want more, I want to see the after in this story. I hated reading the betrayal behind her ex-husband as Noel was such a giving person and although he had cheated on her before you would think he would mend his ways and try and give the relationship another go but no sadly. I feel she had to go through this for the author to give her a happily ever after with Leon.
This was my first taste of this author and would love to read more in the future.

Unwrapping Noel by Jennifer Theriot (audiobook narrated by Sara Gordon)
A Christmas romance story that I really enjoyed listening to. I love Noel’s spunkiness and sarcastic humor. Noel has had a tough year after finding out her ex husband has cancer and helps him through his treatments. When she gets a call from one of her favorite clients she’s worked with for years, Noel jumps at the chance and flies out to California for a new project. Noel meets a gorgeous guy in the hotel bar who turns out to be on the project group too. What happens next, you will have to listen/read it!
Sara Gordon did a wonderful job reading the book. I love how well she acts out each of the characters. I know I’ve listened to other books Ms. Gordon has read and I always enjoy them.

This is the first book I’ve heard by the Author. Sara Gordon is a fantastic narrator and she had me laughing.
Noel is a great PR lady and knows what she’s doing. When California calls she heads down thinking she’s helping a friend. When she finds that she is falling in love. The quote I chose for Noel is: “Yes, of course, it’s me, Dave. Who else would’ve fallen on her a** in the driveway? Why aren’t the damn lights working? I thought you said you were getting them fixed.”
Leon is in town from New York to help his friend out. When he meets a female he becomes forward. After finding Noel in the arms of another man he leaves. The quote I chose for Leon: “Ouch. Very nice. Or not so nice, I mean. I actually felt that. So what am I supposed to do now? I gotta make a living you know.”
Highly recommended for romance lovers.

Unwrapping Noel by Jennifer Theriot Narrated by Sara Gordon Five Stars
Unwrapping Noel is hands down the best holiday story I read/listened to this year. It made me laugh and cry, which is how I like to judge my books. This one brought awareness to being happy with yourself no matter your size. Noel and Leon are wonderful characters with a real connection. The witty banter was extremely entertaining. If you’re looking for a good holiday romance, I highly recommend this book. This is the first book I listened to narrated by Sara Gordon, but definitely not the last. She brought the characters to life. Her voice was smooth and she really landed those sarcastic quips thrown about.

This audio book had me laughing within the first chapter. Noel is hilarious and real I can feel myself in her. She’s a true inner womens dialogue. A women scron is not one to be messed with. Dave what a dickhead. He is what you call a despicable human been. If your ears are delicate you may need an adjustment. Leon is amazing I love his character. The narrative who does this book both female and male do. It very well. I have throughly enjoy all the voices who have done this audio book. I listen to this book in one sitting it is brilliant and I would highly recommend it to someone who wants a realistic romance story with the real world aspects.

USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Theriot (pronounced Terrio) hails from the Great State of Texas. She is a career woman, working as CFO for an award winning, female owned real estate investment firm. Once her kids flew the nest, she felt something was missing and discovered her passion for writing on a dare from two of her girlfriends.
Jennifer took a chance that there could be an interest in romance with middle aged couples who are finding themselves at a crossroads and wrote her debut novel Out of the Box Awakening, a second chance at love, contemporary romance featuring an older female heroine. The book centers on the hope of finding happiness and passion through unexpected heartache. She characterizes her writing as ‘Grownup Romance from the Other Side of 30’
In her limited spare time, Jennifer enjoys being outdoors; preferably somewhere on a beach curled up with a good book. Spending time with family and friends, watching a baseball game and enjoying a good bottle of wine are usually on her to-do lists. Jennifer has three grown children and is also ‘MiMi’ to six beautiful grandkids – all of whom she adores.

Out of the Box Collect: A Second Chance Romance Series by Jennifer Theriot was definitely a marathon read.
I enjoyed each of the three but I felt the third book was the best of the three. The first two had time where they seemed to lag for me but the last book kept me reading to the point I was mad when I had to stop long enough to cook supper.
The kids were great but Todd was by far my favorite one. There were little things I loved like the Longhorns and Cubs connection since those are my teams and references to different areas here in Texas. Also loved how Olivia wanted to take care of herself even when she really didn’t need to because Ash was just so amazing, almost too amazing but she deserved it.

Out of the Box Collection by Jennifer Theriot was an emotional, sweet, up down collection, that gets all the feels going.
Not my first read from this author, so I knew going in that I was in for something good. I was not disappointed in the least.This collection got better with each book, and the growth, feels and characters just added to the layers of goodness that just oozes out of the pages. Detail was rich, the plot flowed and the feels were real. I felt like I was apart of the story, and as sad as I was for it all to end, I felt satisfied with the overall conclusion and the way this series was finished. I have to say for a three book collections, the reading was so easy that it was a pretty quick read. You just get sucked into this world, the complexity of the situations and storyline, trap you to the point that you forget you’re reading, and just, be, in the moments.
Overall this collection is worth your time and energy. It has everything you ever wanted in a feel invoicing adult romance. Keep tissues handy, cause there-are some moments that spark the tear ducks. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get lost in this beautifully crafted read.

This collection contains three books, Awakening, Regifted and Everlasting by Jennifer Theriot. Book one, Awakening, is all about Olivia and how her life is about to change. There are so many characters to get to know, so much relatability, so many feelings, second chances, first loves. This book really had it all. As a book one it could have ended as it is. It ends happily, enough, there’s a good amount of closure, however, this IS a set so YAY there is more!!
Book 2 is Regifted and is a continuation of Olivia and Ash’s discovery. Discovery of each other and their love. Life is good for Olivia and just continues to get better. However, some unimaginable twists are thrown in and things aren’t as perfect as they seem.
Book 3 Everlasting is O.M.G. This book continues status quo until it doesn’t!! I can’t even with this conclusion!
A complete adventure in 3 books! I can’t wait to see if Theriot gives us more of these characters…she just has to! Highly recommended!

The Out Of The Box Collection by Jennifer Theriot contains the 3 full length novels Awakening, Re-gifted and Everlasting in one collection. I have read several books by this author but this collection has become my favourite. I love that Jennifer Theriot often writes about older characters instead of the usual 20 and 30 somethings that most novels contain these days. This box set centres around 60 year old Ash and 57 year old Olivia who find true love later in life when Olivia’s husband of 30 years dumps her for a younger women. Another thing I loved about this collection is the secondary characters. Olivia’s 3 children, Ash’s 3 children, the members of Tommy’s band and all their significant others all play a vital role in the series. They are not just secondary characters. We get to delve deeply into their lives too and they are a very valuable addition to the story. The series just wouldn’t be as good without these characters. One of the main themes from this series is just how important family and close friends are. I loved the bond that existed between all the siblings and the boys in the band. There was such amazing camaraderie between them all. Special mention has to be made for Todd, he is adorable and made me laugh so much. I also have to add that Theriot throws several curveballs at you. Just when you think you know where a particular storyline is leading…boom! You are taken on a different journey. I will admit that several times I really wanted to kick the author’s backside when she threw in a WTF!! Moment. This collection is definitely a 5 star read. I LOVED it.

Out of the Box Collection was an absolute beautiful read! This will tug at your heartstring and the emotions you’ll experience is like riding a rollercoaster so I suggest to have tissues nearby! Jennifer Theriot has a way of consuming you into her world and this book won’t let you up even when the emotions get real!
This is one of those stories that you cannot simply finish reading and walk away. It puts many things into perspective about your own life and family.
We follow the lives of Olivia and Ash. Olivia’s husband has left her which was completely heart breaking but she’s trying to prove her independence. Ash is a man that has completely enthralled Olivia and he finds himself having feelings himself but will they act on it?
This is one of those books that I’ll read over and over again. It was beautiful as it was emotional and highly recommended

Out of the Box Collection that features Out of the Box Awakening, Out of the Box Regifted and Out of the Box Everlasting was a 5+ read. My emotions were all over the place and I needed several kleenex to make it through.
We start with Olivia moving to Chicago to be with her husband who just transferred for work. When she gets there his friend Ash is the one who picks her up. And of course her husband conveniently seems to be out of town, alot. She starts to see a side to Ash that is something that she never had with her husband, they enjoy each others company but never cross a line. When Olivia gets some devastating news, Ash is there for her. Can there possibly be a future for these two?
As we move forward through all three books we see so many different levels of life experiences with twists and turns. There is tragedy and some hidden secrets that resurface. I really was rooting for Olivia to find the happiness that she truly deserved and Ash tugged at my heartstrings. All of the secondary characters were great, I loved all the kids and the band members. I did not care for Olivia’s husband and his actions. This story really makes you think about things as you are getting older. You don’t realize how much you rely on some people until they are no longer there and you are left trying to rebuild. The details of the story were amazing and pulled me right in. Having all three books at once was great, I didn’t have to wait to find out what was coming next. If you’re looking for a great second chance romance series, this is a must read. I highly suggest 1-clicking and getting started as soon as you can.

Out of the Box Collection by Jennifer Theriot includes three romantically themed novels in this series. This was an enchanting set of stories that pull you into the depth of the stories and the development of the characters from the beginning. Highs and lows are bundled within the story line and take the reader on an emotional charged journey. The story flows effortlessly from the first to the second book and then to the final and third story. I absolutely enjoyed the characters as they battled through obstacles and circumstances working towards where they each ultimately come to within the final story. Beautifully written by a talented author.

Out of the Box Collection by Jennifer Theriot. This is an amazing collection. 5 stars is not enough.Out of the box Out of the Box Awakening is the first book. It’s the story of Olivia Peters whose husband has just left her and turned her world upside down. She thought her life was over but she ends up enjoying her new experiences and new life more than she could imagine. She ends up in Chicago far away from her life in Houston but she meets Ash Harper. He’s a handsome, has a great job and seems like he has everything except what most don’t know is he has a deep dark secret. Out of the Box Regifted is the 2nd book and its the continuation of Ash & Olivia’s story as they are engaged. Their families become blended and of course problems arise from that. When tragedy strikes will their love survive or will they break up. Out of the Box Everlasting is the final book of the series. Its the story where Olivia and Ash’s love is tested most of all. Will they come out still together or will trouble tear them apart. This is such a great Box Set. You feel so connected to the people in the stories that you feel like family. You will laugh, cry and get upset. When books move you like these they are ones to be cherished! I recommend reading them in order to get the real flow of the story. You won’t be disappointed!

Out of The Box Collection by Jennifer Theriot consists of the whole three book series, book 1 Awakening, book 2 Regifted and book 3 Everlasting. This wasn’t my first-time reading Jennifer’s work, but I can honestly say that this was my favourite of hers so far! I loved everything about this series, from the raw and real storyline, the relatable characters, the flow and I especially loved how this series followed an older woman and her journey to rediscovering herself.
Jennifer Theriot wrote with so much detail that it felt like I was really following along with this incredible group of characters. Though this storyline primarily followed Olivia, I really appreciated all of the supporting characters, it made this story feel really well rounded.
I highly enjoyed this collection and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for their next romance read!

Out of the Box Collection was a wonderful set of stories by an author whose books I absolutely love reading! Every single book had me hooked from the beginning and I fell in love with all of the characters. The way in which the author wrote about these characters made me truly feel that I was a part of their story, feeling all the emotions that they did. The realistic feel that they had been given again helped me become fully invested in what was happening in their lives. I thought that this series was particularly well written and probably my favourite stories by this author so far. They are the kind of the stories that after you have finished reading them they make you think about what you have read, for me this shows that the author has really allowed me to connect with the characters. The storyline was captivating, I found myself turning the ages quicker and quicker just so I could find out what was going to happen next and I loved that being a box set I was able to go straight from book to book without having to wait! Overall a truly fantastic series, one that I thoroughly enjoyed! I cannot recommend it enough and I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

Out Of The Box Collection (A Second Chance Romance Series, The Complete 3 Book Collection) by Jennifer Theriot
5-stars
Out Of The Box Collection features three novels by Jennifer Theriot hat cannot be read as standalone books. I love having them grouped together since each one picks up where the other ended. The collection features the novels Awakening, Regifted, and Everlasting. The novels follow Ash Harper and Olivia Peterson. Awakening introduces these two amazing characters as Olivia comes to terms with her husband leaving her. The second book, Regifted, continues to follow these two as they live and figure life as a newly engaged couple while Olivia also embraces a new version of herself. Book three, Everlasting, continues to follow the engaged couple as tragedy strikes. Their love is challenged in this third novel more than any.
I loved the character development in all of these books. Ash and Olivia’s families become blended and I love how accepting everyone was of each other. There were many times I was literally laughing out loud and other times when I would tear up for one of the characters. The storyline was easy to follow in these books and it was edited well. The settings were descriptive and easy to visualize. I appreciated the focus on love and family. This emotionally investing collection is definitely worth 5 stars and I highly recommend it.

Holy moly, what a collection! I was so invested in this series. The writing style took a couple chapters to get into the groove for me, as they were in my opinion, talking in a way that wasn’t used in normal conversations. It didn’t take away from the story it just took a bit to get used to. I really loved these characters and i was just along for the ride to see what happened next. The main characters were great but I wish we could be in Tommy and Todd’s heads too. Or even just Ash! This is mainly about an older couple with grown children, but we do see new relationships blossom along the way. This had ups and downs and man were the downs really down. But it made the story what it was. Highly highly recommend.

This boxed set features the complete OUT OF THE BOX trilogy.
This series is almost too realistic at times. It causes all the feelings to show themselves. At times it was like being on a roller coaster and other times like being on a calm lake in a quiet boat.
I cannot have imagined reading this trilogy one book at a time. Each story picks up where the last one left off. Characters continue to grow and change during the whole story. There are layers and layers to these stories. It is absolutely a multi dimensional story that has a very defined beginning, middle and end.

Out of the Box Collection: A Second Chance Romance Series: The Complete 3-Book Collection by Jennifer Theriot
5 Stars is nowhere near enough……
Jennifer Theriot has plucked me out of my real life world and inserted me into a story that has completely consumed me for the entire time I spent reading it, and here I am afterwards still completely in awe of this author.
I chose this series because of the authors name being on the front covers, I have fallen in love with this authors writing reading a few of her other books…Reading this series has literally ruined me…I just can’t…. The other reason I chose to read this series was because of her taking a chance and going outside the box and featuring characters that I myself can completely relate to and understand.
I can honestly say I have never read a series that hit as many emotions as this series did. I felt everything deep within and seriously feel like I was transported into this dysfunctioning beautiful group of people. I love family sagas but this one went to a whole different level for me, and the bonds that were already in place and then those that were formed in this series again were perfection, one friendship in particular just blew me away. I cried so hard at times while reading, I had the air knocked out of me at times, I shook with anger at times, but I can tell you that I savored every single word on every single page.
Ive actually come away from reading this series with a few new thoughts about life and truly wish I knew how to join together the words to explain how much I appreciated this story.
This author is a master storyteller and not only will I reread this series many times but I will also own these books and will treasure them forever. I have a few favorite series and each one for reasons that keep them at the top of my list, this one as of this second and I am sure for many more seconds to come is my favorite this year and definitely at the top of my favorite series of all time.
I cant express in words how much I loved these 3 books..Thank you Miss Theriot!!!

Out of the Box Everlasting (Out of the Box Book 3): A Second Chance Romance Series by Jennifer Theriot
I’m going with 5 stars because thats all im allowed, but this book is deserving of so many more.
I am completely Speechless…Finished this part of the series about 30 minutes ago and can not even function right now.
So much happened in this book and Im wore slap out, a better word would be ruined, or shattered, or shocked…I just don’t know…
I’m gonna try to write a review for this book, I will however not get into any of the storyline itself because first, there is too much, and second it would ruin the whole series if I did that. I mentioned in my last review that I feared many of the bonds in this book would be tested and I was doing a lot of praying… Well that praying never stopped throughout every page. I don’t know if I have ever been affected so drastically by words in a book, but when I say there were times it took my breath away I’m not even kidding, and when I say I couldn’t read some parts till I dried my eyes I’m not even kidding. I felt this story deep within me and I was constantly being derailed because I would think oh I know what is going to happen and then that which I thought would happen didn’t and I’d end up shaking my head because it would take a whole different course…A brilliant course!
I can’t even comment on the last quarter of this book…I’m just thankful that this author will never know what I was thinking or the names I may or may not have called her.

5++++++++++++ Stars
Omg my heart is racing and I’m thanking all that is holy that I have Everlasting ready on my kindle. This series is killing me, I don’t think I’ve ever had my breath took away while reading quite like while reading this part of this series…Tommy and Emily’s wedding about ruined me…then I’m rolling with laughter when Todd goes to pick up the amp from Ash and Liv’s not knowing they were there..OMG…WMD had me dying!
I’m so beyond impressed that there is no predictable going on…there was a couple things I was so afraid were going to blow up and so far I’ve been pleasantly pleased that Miss Theriot decided to blow up other areas throwing me totally out of whack.
The bonds are still as strong in this part and I’m totally in love with Todd……scared for the next part, I have a feeling these bonds are about to be completely tested and I’m praying for so many things going on and can not wait to begin the next part.
Loved this book so so much! and this could end up being one of my favorite series ever and I cant even go on because I must start book 3.

Out of The Box Awakening (Out of the Box Book 1): A Second Chance Romance Series by Jennifer Theriot
5 +++++++ Stars
HOLY MOLY!! I so completely and sincerely utterly LOVED this book. I actually can’t believe I am able to not move on to the second one so that I can write this review. It’s already a given how much I love this author but she has taken it to a whole new level with this story.
I cried so hard when I read the last sentence..I could feel everything going on at that club, I could picture all of the kids, I could picture Ash and the love that was pouring out of him and I could almost feel the feelings that Olivia was feeling at that point.
The bonds that were written about in this story were beyond amazing and each character is a favorite for one reason or another, well, except maybe one and that one worries me just a bit so I’m bracing for that but have complete trust that Miss Theriot will handle whatever happens and comes up in the future of this series.
Saying that I am completely invested in this story is an understatement and I can not wait to begin Regifted.
I am so so happy I picked up this series, I’m not getting a whole lot done when it comes to being a real life adult but oh well, it will all be there waiting on me when I finish.
Thank you Miss Theriot for giving me a character that I can relate to!

Out of the Box Collection is a three book boxed set which contains the complete Out of the Box series for you to enjoy. It is an emotional rollercoaster ride from beginning through to the end. You will have your heartstrings pulled and plucked, tossed from one emotion into another- but the story and characters will pull you back for more. Definitely worth the read.
The collection contains:
Out of the Box Awakening (Book #1)
4 Stars
Out of the Box Awakening is the first book in the Out of the Box Series by Jennifer Theriot. It is an emotionally charged women’s literature/contemporary romance with an older, more seasoned main characters. It isn’t what you would normally expect from a romance, as Ms. Theriot takes us one a deeper, more realistic and emotional journey. This is a second chance romance, with new beginnings, finding oneself/self-discovery, learning and growing, and much more. We meet Olivia Petersen who has her ‘perfect’ world turned upside down by her husband’s betrayal, leaving her out of her depth, confused, and away from her comfort zone. Ash Harper is Liv’s husbands’ former army buddy, who has experienced much pain himself. He has baggage and secrets- but they share a connection that neither can deny. Fate throws they together, and there will be choices to be made… so will they find comfort and happiness in each other? Is he her Mr. Right- Or just Mr Right Now? You really should read the story/series and discover all the emotional details for yourself! An enjoyable story, even though it was a little cheesy and predictable in place, the emotional content helped to balance the story.
Out of the Box Regifted (Book #2)
4 Stars
Out of the Box Regifted is the second book in the Out of the Box Series by Jennifer Theriot. This story starts off where the first book left off, so I really recommend reading Book #1 before starting this one, as there is important character details and storyline contained in that book which will give you a greater appreciation of what’s happened/happening her, and knowing all those details will enhance your reading experience of this book. I really appreciated getting some more insight into the characters, secondary characters included. The story also was less predictable than the first book, which I also liked. We follow along as Ash and Olivia’s story unfolds, getting a front row seat to all the developments, as well as the obstacles they encounter along the way- which will test them, while also adding drama and angst to the story. Another emotional addition to the series and has me highly anticipating how their story will play out! Bring on Book #3!
Out of the Box Everlasting (Book #3)
4 Stars
Out of the Box Everlasting is the third and final book in the Out of the Box series by Jennifer Theriot. It packs quite a punch, and not just emotionally. It is quite intense, suspenseful, dramatic, and nerve-wracking… and is my favourite of the three books. It was a little bittersweet to read as I wanted to know how everything would play out, so I was completely invested in what I was reading, but also a little sad that the series was coming to an end. There was so much character development and growth throughout the series, especially for Olivia- who grew the most. There was heartache, emotion, romance, love, mystery, suspense, tragedy, secrets, twists, unexpected developments, and much to overcome for the characters on their journey towards happiness. Ms. Theriot certainly put them through their paces, that’s for sure. Again, this story picks up where the previous book left off. So, having said that, I really recommend reading all the books, in sequence, so you have all the details that you need to full appreciate this book, and the series as a whole. As expected, Ms. Theriot didn’t disappoint, as this is both clever, and a fitting conclusion to the series!
If you love to read realistic and relatable stories, with plenty of drama and emotion, and interesting and likeable characters- then this is definitely the book for you. Three books in one- you can’t get better than that. #Winning!!!
