Sandra Marton's "Emily: Sex & Sensibility"

Revisado: 11-26-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'm a sucker for stories where false assumptions and well-intentioned half-truths lead to a tangled web of the protagonists' own making--but only when the misunderstandings are well-motivated and understandable. This book has that, and so much more.

What about Devra Woodward’s performance did you like?

Devra Woodward captured the emotions of the story well, and enhanced the story itself with her performance.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There are a number of moving scenes, but I really fell for the glimpses of the extended Wilde family presented in the book. They served to show that this story is oriented in a much larger world of overlapping characters and storylines.

Any additional comments?

Emily's attitude and outlook on life really drew me in to the story. With her background and upbringing, she could easily have been a pampered party girl, but she strove to make more of herself and it was her determination to become more than just another Wilde that made her likeable and sympathetic even when you knew she was digging herself into a hole that would eventually collapse in around her.

Marco is definitely an alpha male, but one with a wry sense of humor and a way with one liners that kept him from becoming unapproachable. The chemistry between Emily and Marco was hot, and the ending very satisfying.
