Unique love story
Revisado: 08-10-23
I never write reviews, but it saddened me to realize no one else had reviewed this wonderful book yet. I was so happy to see Linda Kage finally made audio books. I devoured the available Forbidden Men books in a couple of days and started looking through the other books she has. Unlike the Forbidden series, I hadn't read this book already. I decided to give it a try and I wasn't disappointed. It's different than anything I've listened to in a long time.
Heartbreaking at times, but the strength Isobel has and unrealized optimism Shaw has makes you root for them all the way through. The final conflict would seem childish under other circumstances, but considering the life Isobel has led, It's easy to understand how it happened. It was nice to read a book where both main characters are genuinely good people from the start and they both had kind, loving parents. It's quite rare to see in books today and while I love those types of books too, this was a nice change of pace. It was slightly slow moving and I would have liked a little more excitement, though.
The male narrator was pleasant to listen to. However, he didn't do a good job with the cooks' voice. She sounded like an old man. It would have been better to use the same voice as Isobel. That said, it's still definitely worth buying. Thank you, Linda!

Early in her life, Josephine Malone learned the hard way that there was only one person she could love and trust: her grandmother, Lydia Malone. Out of necessity, unconsciously and very successfully, Josephine donned a disguise to keep all others at bay. She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept herself distant. While Josephine was trotting the globe, retired boxer Jake Spear was living in the same small town as Lydia.

Can't get past the awful male voice
Revisado: 11-02-20
I love Kristen Ashley but I'm going to have to finish this book by reading. The narrator needs to work on her male voices. She made Jake sound like a poorly acted character from a noir film. I kept waiting for him to call her "doll" or "kid". It completely changed the way I saw the character in my head. Such a disappointment - and since I purchased this book over a year ago and just got around to listening, I can't request a refund.
