Best with “Call Me Maybe”

I’m not a romance reader. Mystery, suspense, science fiction, yes, romance, nope. Yet I’ve purchased and listened to multiple Cara Bastone romance books since finding her through “Call Me Maybe”. This book, like her others, is fun, relaxing, interesting and light enough to listen to while doing something else.

Okay, I just got this book for a short read to kill some time, but it took me over a week to finish it, The writing had me curious at first, the. Really roped me in. Although I listened to it in short (15 minute blocks), I kept coming back to it and re listening to sections to make sure I understood what was happening. Overall, an excellent read.

Syrupy Sweet - Diabetic Coma

The narrator did an admirable job, switching voices between characters, and kept a gentle cadence throughout.

The story starts out well with a "grab-ya" scene. Then a cute and bizarre change of setting that is silly and weird at the same time, but keeps one interested. When the heroine and hero predictably fall in love, then it is an endless saccharine exchange of gooey love language right up to the end. Had a hard time getting through the mildly contrived conflicts only to be coated in sugary devotion in the extreme. This book had so much potential to be a challenging story that kept one on the edge of the seat. However, it doesn't deliver. I wondered how the narrator got through all the sticky sweet dialogue between the main. characters?

Didn't see that one coming at all. Twust in the plot at the end. Really like the strong female characters throughout the story, Shay, Corrine, Elinor, Emma and Clara. Each a terrific role model of strength, conviction and courage. Really enjoyed this story. Narration is excellent.

Swamp Team does it again, and so does Jana Deleon! Loved this twentieth story and all of the characters. Cannot wait for the next one. Narration is superb. please never change the narrator for future stories. Thank you Jana Deleon for another sweet, FUNNY, and great mystery included with friendship and loyalty - in which to get lost! My favorite light author, by far!

Tremendously fun for long time Fortune fans. Best to have ready the other books in sequence before reading this one. That makes the story so much more enjoyable. The entire team works together on this one. Including Carter and Deputy Bro. ADORE this narrator. She is the same throughout all of the books. Highly recommend for a light, entertaining read!

Start is slow and vacuous. However, stick with it. Of course, the predictable romance is quite lovely but the concurrent stories of both families lost, and found, of dignity and personal worth, also lost and found are an underlying base. The sensitive description of chronic depression and anxiety - from all walks of life - and the alternative solutions are affirming. The message being - there is always help no matter the despair or loneliness. The subject of Chinese stigma and shame over getting therapy and medication for depression is addressed. There are very satisfying moments of love and acceptance, reconciliation and the vaguishing of one really terrible character. Also, moments of self-realization amidst the spectre of perfectionism. Resiliency eventually marks the day.

Fascinating from start to finish. A really lovely way to wind down the All Souls series. The new narrator does an admirable job! She is great, and in her own way, as good as Jennifer Ikeda. For fans of this series, do yourself a favor and get lost in this wonderful story of Marcus' past-life and the unfolding of Pheobe's new life with Marcus. Diana, et.al., are ever present and you are rewarded with their unfolding stories, too. Thoroughly enjoyable! Must read for Deborah Harkness fans!

Perhaps it's because I am too much a Baldacci fan or because I read too much of this genre, but this story was too predictable. The story was well written, but not satisfying.
