topic well done

Revisado: 04-17-25

I like that there was a strong female lead who knew herself well enough to make strong decisions. it took a while for me to care for the male lead because I thought perhaps he was too much of a pushover, but he did come through in the end. I appreciate that autism is part of the storyline here, and that it is done in a positive realistic way. I am not a Tolkien fan but fully enjoyed the story anyway. it was not difficult to enjoy it despite not being a fan.

well done

I was not sure they would be able to bring this all together, but they actually did a great job. a little bit of time travel fantasy that I would generally avoid but it actually worked out quite well. both characters were likeable and you got to understand the more deeply than many characters and most books

enjoyable

Revisado: 05-26-24

although lately I have been not finishing several books because they are boring, I found this one engaging and I stayed remaining with it. I also appreciated the fact that the sex scenes were implied behind the closed door and not explicit. I will say that I had to look up to confirm that possums are living in the Caribbean, and was actually semi-pleased that they actually followed through to form on that. although I've had enough experience with a possums that even when when they faint and fall over I would not pick them up

top notch

intelligent heroine. Hero was less realistic than she was, but its a nice fantasy that men are as open and loving as that. realistic difficult struggles with relationship with God during war.

not my favorite

Revisado: 01-21-24

Usually I love titles by Richard Amooi. In particular i enjoy the use of humor and the lack of unnecessary sex scenes. However I can't recommend this book. I haven't decided if it is the story or the narrator, I got 2/3s through but could not complete it. The actions of the niece were very juvenile and unexplainable, The acceptance of her actions was really ... hard to explain. Because of this he hero and heroine were really not highly likable. I didnt respect them and didnt enjoy their story. The father was difficult, and generally unlikable but also realistic - perhaps the most realistic character of the lot- but I was not engaged enough to get to the end. I don't normally say this about stories, but I generally like the author and I wonder if different narrators would have made it seem like a totally different book. Generally I adore this author, I just cannot recommend this one title

lively surprise

Revisado: 12-31-23

this was an excellent story . I read very few stories that I can read/listen to without rolling my eyes at naive characters and formulaic sex. I get so frustrated that so many romances are overshadowed by formulaic sex or naive preachieness. Neither was present here. and I enjoyed the characters enough that I was more engaged with the story than with skipping chapters or stopping in the middle of the book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

thoughtful

Revisado: 11-04-22

I'm not sure that this book belongs under under romantic comedy.. It was more like a story, calmly told in a thoughtful way to get the listener to think about it, to think about how their actions influence or are influenced by others. there is a storyline that included cooking competitions that certainly demonstrated interest and passion in that field. we would all love to meet a soulmate, and it is a good story for that. but i cant say i laughed at all. theres a satisfaction to the book as there might be to a good meal, and many of the life lessons shared through conversation may be familiar to mature readers, but the speed is very slow and not much is accomplished other than to remind the reader to be true to yourself. i cant say it was a 'feel-good' story. but neither was it naive , juvenile, or a total fantasy. i grew to enjoy the narration, and it was a nice listen for driving or bedtime. cant say it was climactic. but if you are looking for traditional romcom, this is not it.

thoroughly enjoyable

Revisado: 08-26-22

I had delayed listening to this book although I was familiar with the author. however I thought it was one of her better books, and it was very well performed. entertaining and actually believable, despite giving the impression it was going to be a shallow relationship. I actually enjoyed this author a lot and encourage you to not put it off like I did out of fear of it being not enjoyable. laugh out loud several times and well worth the time invested

not my style

Revisado: 03-17-19

I thought this would be a thought provoking book. I've tried to decide if it is the narration or the author and I think it is both. I simply cannot get any interest in the language of this book. I cannot bring myself to engage. try a clip before you buy.
