Story is great!

Revisado: 03-12-25

The female narrator….she is extremely talented but the way she paused with every other word made it sound jerky, not southern. It was SO frustrating!
I recommend this book. Just not in audio.

Could’ve been…

Revisado: 10-21-24

This story could’ve been soo much better. It has the bare bones of a great book but fell terribly short. It felt like AI wrote it as well as narrated it.
Subtle nuances and character development was completely lost in ridiculous scenes. The “soul” of the story was not even there. I can look past the virtual voice making non human mistakes.
Sorry this was a big miss and disappointment.

Great! But…

Great story. Great characters. Virtual Narration left something to be desired. Miss pronunciations and general blasé-ness that you can’t get without a real human.
Still great story. Just could’ve been better with true narration.

Listened all at once!

Revisado: 05-19-24

Fun story! Great narration and acting. I finished the whole thing in one sitting. I gave the story 4.5 stars because at the end it was confusing what exactly happened. It was very clear during the story the different “time zones” and who was where. Then the end was convoluted how it was resolved. This was disappointing since the rest of the story was so great.
Regardless, I recommend this book to any contemporary rom com lovers. It was fun and engaging. Definitely worth the credit.

Absolutely Lovely!

Can’t recommend this whole series enough!
While each book is reminds the reader of the history of the characters, they’re not really standalone stories. It is definitely better to read/listen in order. Some of the previous books end on a cliffhanger but if you have the next book in the series, it’s not a problem.
If you like sweet stories with romance and a little intrigue, read the Blackbird Beach series!

Great box set!

Revisado: 02-16-24

I loved the first three books. Angst, sweet and satisfying.

Book four left more to be desired. I was actually pretty disappointed. After meeting Hayden in book one, I expected more from him. Anna was a great heroine until the end. While I cheered her standing up for herself, she came out looking shallow and vain.
Nonetheless, hearing about the other brothers with their appearances helped.
Despite my disdain for book four, I highly recommend the series and look forward to reading/listening to the rest of the books!

Exceptional!

Revisado: 11-12-23

Awesome story! Amazing author! Crazy awesome narrator!
So why the overall 4 stars? Simply because there were more than a few times the story got too slow. Not uninteresting but slow to the point I wanted to skip a bit. I tried to but ended up rewinding because I invariably missed something.
I absolutely loved Kitty and Leo. There were times I was so jealous of Kitty, I wasn’t sure I could finish the chapter.
This book felt real. It felt like something that actually did or could happen. Were there times the characters were frustrating or maddening? Absolutely. But that’s just the mark of an excellent author.
Upon finishing, I immediately looked for more books by Ms. Slade. I haven’t found any yet. Pleeease don’t make us wait too long!
Well done, Ms. Slade. Well done.

Fun meet cute!

Revisado: 02-02-21

This is my first book by Cara Bastone in audiobook or print. I’m sold. I absolutely loved the meet cute in which the H and h meet. It was such a departure from 90% of all other rom coms! There’s some drama interspersed, plenty of sweet moments, fun comedic scenes and more than one plot twist. Not to mention the most awesome HEA. There is no cliff hanger (thank you, Cara!) but I would absolutely LOVE to hear more about Vera and Cal! We NEED more Vera and Cal!! And Elliott and Paloma! Well Cara, you just need to make this into a series...stat. Please? 🥰

I’m a fairly new audiophile but I’ve heard enough audiobooks over the last few months to make me question my Audible subscription. After listening to Luci Christian and Neil Hellergers, I have new hope!! These narrators knocked. It. Out. Of. The Park!! I love them. Now I’ll be actively looking for more books read by them. This book also had extra sound effects that added to the whole listening experience. Way to go editor(s)!!

All I all this is great book! I can’t wait to use my credits on more Cara Bastone’s books as I not so patiently wait for her next release. 😉
