I can't stop listening!

Revisado: 06-02-15

What did you love best about Asking for Trouble?

I love listening to the little sister and her story - watching her fall in love, hearing about the struggles as the baby sister to the perfect siblings. I really enjoy getting to know the main characters - both Alyssa and Joe are very likeable characters, especially as they are both far from perfect!

What about Emma Taylor’s performance did you like?

I couldn't quite figure out Emma's accent so I did a little digging - if I found the right one, she's British which makes her American accent often sound uppity, but knowing that she's British will help me to listen to her! Even so, I have been listening to this book an hour a day or more - commuting, cleaning, riding my bike!

Fall in love with the most experienced couple!

Revisado: 04-25-15

Just for You is not as long as many of the other escape to New Zealand books, but its wonderful to hear the back story of Hemi and Reka! As always, Claire does an amazing narration, using different accents and voices. It's enjoyable to hear proper pronunciations, as opposed to what I had guessed in head while reading the stories! Not to be missed!

A good story turned great when it came to life!

What made the experience of listening to Just Not Mine the most enjoyable?

I read this book when it first came to Kindle and enjoyed it, but somehow, it wasn't one of my favorite over all stories in the series. But, with the great narration by Claire Bocking, this story has come to life and brought this characters to life - and I've fallen for them! This is quickly becoming one of my favorite audio books in the series, maybe because there is more of the great NZ accent than in the other books. These characters are charming and witty and I'm enjoying hearing them communicate instead of only reading! Definitely a strong edition to the great Escape to New Zealand series!

What did you love best about Just My Luck?

Just My Luck is fun that it shows women battling perception issues - either too pretty or too athletic - and how they live and learn.

What did you like best about this story?

I like that you get two stories for the price of one - reading about Ally and Nate as well as Kristen and Liam

What does Claire Bocking bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Claire Bocking is a great narrator in that she can switch between similar voices and accents to bring all of the characters to life.

Another winner from James!

Where does Just for Fun rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I absolutely love the Escape to New Zealand series - these stories are fun, exciting, and make passionate true love seem even that much more exciting!

This story has it's strife by way of a short term love affair and mistakes made by young people... The story is heartfelt and exciting to listen to people struggle and fall in love, fall out of love, and discover the paths they want to be on in their lives.

Definitely another winner by Rosalind James and another great narration by Claire Bocking who is so talented at switching between characters - voices, accents - she does it all and does it well!

Great Narration for one of my Favorite books!

Revisado: 08-03-14

What did you love best about Just for Now?

I fell in love with Jenna, Finn, and the kids when I first read this book several months ago, but truly hearing it in the 'correct' accents made it so much more enjoyable! I love all of the Escape to New Zealand books by Rosalind James and this is one of my favorite stories.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved hearing Harry - he's such a sweet character and hearing the performance of a small child with a NZ accent made it even more charming!

What about Claire Bocking’s performance did you like?

Claire Bocking did a fantastic job switching between all of the characters of the book - every one had their own voice and there were even different spins on the accents which I loved listening to!
