Really enjoyed!

Revisado: 06-10-22

I started this not knowing what to expect, but I was immediately sucked in and listened as often as I could. It's a great story, and wonderfully narrated by Jim Dale (he's the reason I got this on audio actually). If you love stories with characters thrown into the unknown and learning about the new world along with them, you should enjoy this one!

loved it!

Revisado: 02-23-21

I came to the audiobooks after watching the Bridgerton Netflix series. This book focuses on Simon and Daphne, and it is really heartwarming. The narrator is awesome, and I really enjoyed listening to her.

Magical new world

Revisado: 06-27-20

This book kept me listening! I loved being on the journey with our heroine as she figured out what she stumbled into and what in the world was happening. This was such a fun imagination on hidden world within our normal one - we don't get too many details on how things work, but it's definitely a fun aspect. Not vulgar or graphic, just a fun, easy read! Highly recommend if you like magical doses in your getaway. Narrator does a great job with the voices.

Couldn't stop listening!

Revisado: 05-16-20

I got this as an Audible book, because of Amanda Ronconi, the narrator. She did a great job with an accent as Thea! I couldn't stop listening as we went on the journey with Thea to find answers. There were so many twists and turns, it was like putting a puzzle together. I highly recommend reading this book if you need a good story to escape into - it has lots of mystery sprinkled with a little romance, but mainly is about a woman learning what she is capable of and where she stands in the world. 5 stars!

Pretty good lighthearted mystery

Revisado: 05-15-20

I thought the premise was interesting, so I was hooked to finish! I wanted to know what happened to Jed! The main character, Payton has an attitude and isn't really very likeable, except I guess she does stick with her friend. Early on she just complains and criticizes everyone who doesn't like her coffee or who likes different coffee, but finally we see some character growth and nicer qualities. Her love interest is a blast from the past who has had a torch for her for 12 years, despite not seeing her. He is a good guy, but sometimes comes across as too unrealistic and perfect. Her friends Emma Jo, Betty, and the rest of the Bald Knob crew come alive and I can picture this small town with its super nosy people. This wasn't my favorite book ever, but it is a good listen and fun escape. There is strong language throughout the story. The narrator does a good job. I will be reading more from Tara Sivec.

Hilarious the whole way through!

Revisado: 05-10-20

I listened to this book without stopping, staying up waaay too late. It was so worth it though! I laughed out loud, blushed furiously, and cheered with Heidi's evolving language and self knowledge.

I picked this book because I love listening to Andi Arndt narrate, and I was excited to hear something she co wrote. I haven't read a Tara Sivec book yet, but halfway through this one I added multiple titles of hers to my "must read" list.

I think this book will be a repeat listen soon!

Laughed a lot!

Revisado: 05-09-20

I've listened to/read the whole Crown Jewels trilogy now, and I have laughed so much! The characters share their personal, sometimes cringy and awkward but hilarious, thoughts on all the things. This book continues Tess and Arthur's story and I love following along with it.

The narrators both took some getting used to - the male voice does a weird Tessa impersonation, like she is always whining, but I got used to it. The female voice does great as Tessa, and I feel like she is able to bring out Arthur's softer, less cocky side when she does his voice. I do appreciate that the same two people narrated all 3 books in the series.

(There is some cursing, if that bothers you.)

Overall, it's a great listen/read! I'm adding all the books from this author to my "to read" list!

Fun and silly romantic comedy!

Revisado: 04-24-20

I really enjoyed listening to this book and laughed out loud throughout the whole thing, usually at "did that really just happen?" moments, of which there are many. There are f-bombs throughout, which I usually don't care for, but it didn't take me away from the story. I liked both narrators once the story got going, and appreciated that we got chapters from both Tessa and Arthur's POV. I found it thought provoking about the way attention on royals/famous/public figureheads is handled from a media standpoint, especially easy to hide behind computer commenters who may or may not be extra divisive for the money involved. Highly recommend!
