Awestruck wonder

Revisado: 05-14-19

This book is amazing. I am so grateful to have received it for free as one of my May selection. I’ve always love nature and suspected that it would be good for my health both physical and mental, but this book reinforce all those notions. It’s engaging. The production is off the charts good. There’s moving stories and compelling facts. I will definitely listen to this again and ask my husband to listen to it with me. Definitely worth a download!

Stilted Narration Takes Away From The Romance

Revisado: 07-07-17

Where does The Owner of His Heart rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would say out of the past ten I listened to, maybe 7. It's a fun story and I could not stop listening because I wanted to know what happened next. It was taxing to get past the narrator, though.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lena! She is incredibly sweet but sure of herself. Her honestly and sense of right and wrong made her a heroine I wanted good things for.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Leyna Baltimore?

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Clementine Dove who read, "His Pretend Baby". Leyna Baltimore was stilted and it sounded like she was reading the script instead of acting out the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Sure... but I couldn't because of life and the narrator.

Great Story! Uneven Narration.

Revisado: 07-06-17

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Nothing about the story itself. It was so good. "When Dimple Met Rishi" is the perfect Bollywood meets YA romance. I love the author's descriptions and the internal dialogue of both the main characters.

What was one of the most memorable moments of When Dimple Met Rishi?

Dimple and Rishi's non-date.

What didn’t you like about Sneha Mathan’s performance?

I'm not sure which on is Sneha, but the male narrator was SPOT ON he sounds like a 20-something Indian man, but the female narrator, wow... she sounds like a woman in her 50's so it was so hard to follow Dimple's story.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

YES!

Any additional comments?

No. I think I'm going to return it because of the narration being so bad. BUT it's definitely a story I would want to own in paperback.

Encouragement is a Superpower

Revisado: 05-06-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Surprised by Motherhood to be better than the print version?

It's quite special to hear Lisa-Jo's beautiful South African accent.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Surprised by Motherhood?

When Lisa- Jo describe Jesus knitting through the night, weaving the moments of our life and the surprises together and smiling at the beauty of it all.

What does Lisa-Jo Baker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

You can hear her deep love for her country, her family, and most of all her God. Listening to her story inspired me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, because I didn't want it to end. I stretched the listening out over days.

Any additional comments?

Lisa-Jo’s book is a Mama’s coming of age tale. As a South-African woman-child, who lost her mother at eighteen Lisa-Jo vowed to never have children, yet Jesus in his great patience and wisdom walked beside her towards a man who loved her something fierce and next to her in a new role (one of many she filled) of “Mama” where He could show her the Father’s ferocious love for his daughter. Lisa-Jo’s words are poetic, oftentimes heartbreaking, always Shalom soaked. The truth in her story made me whole. While listening to her read, healing occurred in the deep places where my own hurts around motherhood hid behind lies. Seriously, I think I fell in love with both Jesus and my family anew after listening to, “Surprised by Motherhood”.

Not Even Worth $7

Revisado: 03-23-14

Would you try another book from K. A. Linde and/or Natalie Ross?

Probably not. I think K.A. Linde is a good writer, she can describe steamy scenes well, but other than that, I found the story lacking in authentic connection between the main characters. She also relied on too many stereotypes the characters were all one dimensional. Natalie Ross is a good narrator, but I think her male voices sounded too similar.

Would you ever listen to anything by K. A. Linde again?

No. I really wanted to like this book. For the price and the length I gave the book so much more lead-way to impress me, but when I was indifferent about starting part two, I realized I really did not like this book and probably wouldn't like anything else by this author.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Natalie Ross?

I think Jill Redfield would have been wonderful.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Off the Record?

It wasn't a matter of too much, as much as not enough deep meaningful conversations between Liz and Brady, and that's' not the editor's job, it's the author's.

Any additional comments?

I really wanted to like this book. I did, but I hated it. I felt Brady was just a spoiled brat on steroids, "I want political career, I want sex with Liz, I want it all on my terms. Give me now!" This is how I felt every time Brady talked about their relationship or every time he treated Liz like a booty call. I wish they had more public banter and love/hate dynamic prior to the first time having sex at the gala, that would have built tension and respect for the characters they they are both strong willed, intelligent people. A debate on campus where Liz is thrown in as the moderator and her bias happens to show through would have been a fun scene to see how they navigate this mutual respect, intense attraction, and the impossibility of truly being together. To me, they just seemed like two twenty-somethings looking for a summer fling. Brady visiting Liz to cuddle her when she was almost in a drunk-driving accident, wasn't enough to get me thinking Brady was worthy of her love. I think it would have been sweet if she tried to come on to him in her drunken stupor and he refused to have sex (thereby showing he cares about her as person and not a sexual outlet) but kept her talking to help her get over her shock from getting pulled over, watching her friend go to jail, and nearly dying. It would have showed some interest in her as a person and not an object. He doesn't even realize that she's a merit scholar until 10 hours into the book. Crazy! I wanted more conversations and romance between the two. Yes, yes, I get it they wanna tear jump each other like rabbits. Cool. Great love scene, but I have to ask, where is the love? At one point I started feeling sorry for Liz and wondered why there's even a contest between Hayden (her cute editor who respects Liz as a journalist and friend) and Brady, our super sexy spoiled brat. This book is not even worth the $7 I spent on it.

Horrible Narrator!

Revisado: 02-19-14

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I wouldn't give this book the my worst enemy, desperate for something to listen to while working out.

What was most disappointing about Tara Sivec’s story?

I couldn't get into the story, the narrator was so wrong for this story.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her voice is more suited for an older character, not the twenty year old, virginal college student. I couldn't get past that. Then when the perspective changes from the female protagonist to the male there was no change in voice inflection. I was confused until I read reviews that the story was written from both perspectives. I stopped listening at that point.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Seduction and Snacks?

Can't answer that...couldn't get into the book.

Any additional comments?

Please change the narrator.
