I have been a Susan Elizabeth Phillips fan sor a long, long time. Her books Have always been much anticipated and have been an automatic purchase on day of release since I picked up Nobody’s Baby but Mine on impulse when it was released.

Therefore I just could not believe it when I eagerly started reading Come Dance with Me and quickly discovered that there was not one single character except for the baby that I cared what happened to. The writing was as always excellent the characters that left me cold. It was just not my kind of book.. Sorry Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

A Pleasant Surprise

Revisado: 05-14-20

Sarina Bowen’s books are an automatic purchase on day 1 of release for me. But for some reason the blurb giving the details of this story just didn’t do it for me and I almost passed on this one. I am so glad I decided to take this book on trust.

There are some excellent reviews posted here so anything I might write would just be redundant. I will simply add my recommendation. It’s very good Book.

This Should Have Been Better

Revisado: 05-02-20

This book had an interesting story line and some very likable characters but was ruined for by too much profanity, unrealistically overprotective male characters, dialog that was more often than not shouted instead of spoken, and bratty children whose bad behavior was regarded fondly by their parents . I am guessing that the author was trying for funny but I just found it forced and out of place. Because I liked the story I stayed with the book much longer than I normally would have but the bratty kid finally became too much for me and I didn’t finish it.

Magic!

Revisado: 02-11-20

Jamie and Wes are are one of those literary couples that have so much chemistry that the listener can almost hear the sizzle in the background as the story is being read. And of course it only makes the sizzle louder that Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan are two of the best narrators in the business.

Worth the wait

Revisado: 08-07-19

I fell for Silas when he first showed up way back in Rookie Move. I have been saving an audible credit for this book ever since I learned this book was on the way and got it within 30 seconds of learning it was finally available. Totally worth the wait. It is it is so good. I’m not sure what I think of the narration yet. Both narrators are new to me but I think they will probably grow on So glad I had saved an audible credit for this book.

Interesting

Revisado: 03-22-19

I purchased this book when it was first released but I had a difficult time with it and gave up after about a quarter of the way in. My biggest problem was with the female narrator. She just didn’t feel right for Breeze. Also unfairly, the book just wasn’t Cake <sigh>

But yesterday, coming down off my Keith and Sam high from J. Bengtsson’s latest release in the Cake Series Rogue Wave I decided to give it another try and thank goodness, this time went much better. I finished it in the wee hours of the morning happy that I had made the attempt.

I still feel that Callie Dalton was not quite the ideal narrator for Breeze but Zachary Webber turned in his usual outstanding performance. As another reviewer pointed out the audiobook probably would have been better had he narrated it alone.

Still I recommend Like the Wind. J. Bengtsson is a great story teller.

An old and much loved favorite

Revisado: 12-31-17

Lately audible has started offering up some of my favorite books. I was delighted when I found September by Rosamunde Pilcher. But the narration! Oh My!!! When the narrator speaks in her normal voice it’s fine. She has a very nice voice. But when she tries to do voices or accents it literally makes my teeth hurt. I’m not going to return this book because I love the story too much but I thought about it.

Not Quite as Good as I Expected

Revisado: 12-28-17

It took me a while but last night I finally finished Prairie Fires. I Liked it but not quite as much as I expected I would. I am am not sure I wanted to know quite so much about who Laura Ingalls really was. I think I would have preferred to have kept the romanticized picture of Laura Ingalls Wilder that has lived in my imagination all these years rather than the real woman. Her books helped me develop a life long love for historical fiction

I thought that the author did a very good job of giving the reader an accurate picture of the places and time in which the books are set. I really loved that about the book. However it’s my opinion the author used up way too many words on her daughter Rose Wilder Lane who was a real piece of work. Another reviewer said all there was to say about her.

An Old Favorite

Revisado: 11-03-17

Kathleen Geillis Seidel has been a favorite author since I first started reading romance novels years ago. I love her writing style, wry humor and strong character development. They are the ultimate comfort reads based on realistic working class characters without much angst, nothing very bad happens and you always get a HEA.

This book has long been a favorite that I have reread many times. But until recently it has not been available on audible. I was delighted to find it. Perhaps unfairly I have downgraded the performance part of my review because the readers voice is so far from the voices of the characters that had become established in my head.
