I enjoyed the way she presented reality of all of the challenges of parenting toddlers with so much humor. The author did a great job with all the characters - I laughed out loud

What a wild ride

Revisado: 04-25-13

What did you love best about Catch and Release?

So many things but above all was the humor that Steve brought to a wild and twisting plot. The other main character is Jennifer and you never know what she will get Steve into but his ability to add his dry humor is fantastic. This was a mystery/thriller/romance and beautifully captured each genre. The romance was soft and really a subplot to the twist and turns of the main plot.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Catch and Release?

Steve’s first meeting with “Bingo” the tough Italian mob figure who operates in Miami. Steve is impersonating a FBI agent and Bingo pulls a gun on him. Steve’s reaction and Jennifer’s ability to handle the situation were priceless.

The hospital scene with Steve was great, but will give too much away if I describe it.

Have you listened to any of Craig Jessen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first Craig Jessen book and I enjoyed his approach to the many different characters in the story. He captured the many sides of Steve perfectly and gave me the right “mind pictures” to carry me thorough the story. Good Job. Jennifer is a tough woman who has been through a lot of life. Sometimes I thought she came across a little soft, but it wasn’t a distraction. “Bingo Bob” was really fun and I could picture him with every line.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A fishing trip never to be forgotten.

All spring breaks are not the same

Any additional comments?

I looked at the reviews for the book copy and saw some people had problems with the main character (Steve) being presented in first person and the others in third person. In the audio portion this really works well as it provides a narration that is both part of the story and yet separate.

This is a great story to listen to and I am planning to gift it to friends for their summer vacation.

I heard my fantasy come true

What made the experience of listening to Carpe Diem the most enjoyable?

This is a beautiful love story that is laced with passion, sensuality and erotica. A lot of erotica is porn, but this is a well written and beautifully presented audiobook. I don’t like overly acted audio, and the narrator did a great job.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Carpe Diem?

The dinner with Justin and Sandy. Captured the essence of the struggle and the joys of the two characters who are hesitant to believe that real love may exist.

Which character – as performed by Lucy Malone – was your favorite?

She did a great job with Sandy and all her struggles.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I felt Sandy’s pain and fear as she tried to emerge from her broken marriage and live a free life once again.

Any additional comments?

This is a well written story by the author. The narrator also captured the beauty of the relationships. Deserves 5 stars for both.
