Story4.5 out of 5 stars 39
Walter Pimsey was distinguished, gruff, sophisticated, and a bit of a bully. He was all of those things. And by Saturday morning, he was also quite dead. After a 12-year absence, investigative reporter Hope Walker has been back home in Hopeless, Idaho, for two weeks. Her scorecard? Lost a job. Gained a job. Got hit by a car. Made up with an old friend. Reunited with an old enemy. Made herself a new enemy. And met one seriously handsome Sheriff.

Contrived relationship with her bestie
Reviewed: 03-01-24
The story is cute, but I really dislike how they characterize the best friend and it definitely seems like someone who doesn't understand women's issues wrote in detail about the difficulties women experience with their bodies after childbirth. It's a little annoying and the parts that are supposed to be funny seem a little forced.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 637
Merry Stewart has had enough! Enough of her brothers, whose behavior would make even the most improper lady blush. Enough of their Highland home, which would surely have fallen to ruin were it not for her. She dreams of escaping into the arms of her betrothed, Alexander d'Aumesbery-even though they haven't yet met. But when they do, Merry is devastated. It seems he's no better than the men in her family.

Narrator ruined funny parts
Reviewed: 01-24-22
This was a great story, but the narrator ruined what was supposed to be funny because of how contrived the voice for the character was. She is also very monotone and doesn't give the characters much depth or feeling, which really takes away from the story. Would be much better read by a different person.

Great book but narrator detracts
Reviewed: 04-15-20
This book has a lead character who is in her twenties, but the narrator definitely sounds to be significantly older than this and makes the story awkward as the voice doesn't sound like it goes with the character. She also sounds like she has a dry mouth at times. This story would have been much better if it didn't sound like Grandma was reading it aloud. The narrator does a good job, but the voice does not align with the characters and makes this book feel awkward.
