great book and series but narration...disappointed
Reviewed: 05-30-17
I am an avid audio books listener, and although there was nothing particularly wrong about the narration, I found myself really disliking the story and characters while listening and only enjoyed the printed version.

But when a thief steals her card case, she determines to retrieve the time-traveling artifact.

Not a very well written book
Reviewed: 03-21-17
What would have made Must Love Breeches better?
The premise of the book was good, but overall the story was very superficial and included minimal historical details beyond what you could Google. This was trivial compared to the fact that the heroine who is a historian and works for the British museum and who was repeatedly described as being a Jane Austin fan, couldn't seem to grasp the rules of British society or the limitations imposed on women during that time. I just found her general cluelessness inconsistent and frustrating.
What was most disappointing about Angela Quarles’s story?
The characters were inconsistent and not developed with detail. Also some problematic time travel an acronysms. If you need to explain it in a website instead of in the story, thats problematic.
What aspect of Mary Jane Wells’s performance would you have changed?
Nothing. Reading was good.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Must Love Breeches?
Everything in the " will she or won't she" category and anytime she "forgets herself".

The selection began with 35 girls. Now, with the group narrowed down to the Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's love is fiercer than ever. The closer America gets to the crown, the more she struggles to figure out where her heart truly lies. Each moment she spends with Maxon is like a fairy tale, filled with breathless, glittering romance. But whenever she sees her first love, Aspen, standing guard, she's swept up in longing for the life they'd planned to share.

Okay overall. The love triangles good. Characters are a bit shallow and story flimsy. Fun summer reading. Hunger games "light"
