    What a waste of a credit. I started reading Karen Kingsbury's books last year because they were a great source to help me when I was going through a very hard time. I had no problem with her story lines as far as that goes or the audio component on Audible when I was reading her first series, the Redemption series that I finished just a few months ago. I never had any issues with it up until now. I noticed that on every page, the narrator skips a few sentences and it makes it very hard for me to enjoy the book or keep up with her. I don't understand why this is happening with her book entitled Fame that I'm reading right now. If this keeps happening with the other books in the First born series, I will never buy another audiobook from her again. Something needs to change because this is a big waste of the credits when I was actually enjoying the audio versions of her books. This issue needs to be fixed, if possible.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I Just Love the Baxters!

    Last year, I discovered Karen Kingsbury's books and I'm bound and determined to read as many of them as I can! I've read some of her standalone novels and different series but my favorite is the series about the Baxters. As soon as I read my first Karen Kingsbury book, I was hooked and wanted to read more about this beautiful family! I read the Redemption series last year and am continuing on with the Firstborn series, which is next in the series order.

    Dayne Matthews is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood. He's got the looks, fame, fortune, and the lifestyle that goes with it. The one thing that he's missing and that he longs for is a family. After discovering a major secret about his life, he longs to be with the family who would give him that love and comfort he desires.

    Katy Hart is the director of Christian Kids Theater (CKT) in Bloomington, Indiana. She loves her work and feels she is right where God wants her to be. When an opportunity she has been longing for her entire life is presented to her, she has to consider if it's worth it because of some horrific events in her past with that lifestyle.

    After taking a bit of a break and reading some other books, it was great to be with the Baxters again! I had forgotten some events but I was able to pick up where I left off. I love that these books are clean and wholesome, with good values, and focus on God. The characters regularly pray and refer to Scripture while the books maintain a contemporary fiction feel.

    There is an order in which the Baxter series books were written and I personally feel it is in a reader's best interest to read them in order so you can more easily understand the flow of events. The series order is: Redemption, Firstborn, Sunrise, Above the Line, and Bailey Flanigan. If you are new to the Baxters, start with Redemption.

    I love the Baxters and have already started Forgiven! This is a series you definitely don't want to miss!
