Amazing as Always
Reviewed: 07-30-23
As always, Rachel tells a story in ways that leave me thinking. Her connecting of current political situations to those in the past is necessary because we forget so easily. More than forgetting though, we really don't know what we are not taught. So thank you, Rachel and your amazing team of researchers and producers for educating us!

On the surface, it appears as if Zari Woods has achieved everything she set out to accomplish: fame, money, a supportive best friend, and loving parents. But to a person on the neurodiverse spectrum, a loving woman is elusive. When Frankie moves into her neighborhood, Zari starts her final quest, a happily ever after. Frankie is beautiful, kind, and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Zari despite her quirks. Unfortunately, Frankie already has a girlfriend. Sort of. It’s complicated.

Awesome Read

This novel has made it into my top five favorites. I love the main characters, especially since one is on the autism spectrum and so beautifully depicted. I love that both women's voices are revealed and balanced. Great read.

My Favorite Story
Reviewed: 09-01-21
This is one of my favorite love stories, read by my very favorite narrator. A win win. It is adventure, set in a world that has enough references to this world but so much more fantastical. Aurora, who has been traumatized by the brutal loss of her father, maintains her humanity even as she seeks revenge for his senseless murder. When Aurora rescues Evie from a cage that would have delivered her to same fate as her (Aurora's) father's, the two women find a safe place in each other. Passionate and poignant, this is an awesome read.

Brilliant depiction of a flawed main character who evokes tremendous empathy. So difficult to do successfully. Natalya Tsvetnenko is a paid assassin who falls in love with her mark and chooses to protect her instead of completing the job. An epic love story.
And ... the narrator is wonderful. she made the story come alive.

The whole "big city, successful career, loyal, hot girlfriend" experiment has been a miserable failure for veterinarian Tess Robinson, so she's moved back home to a small town in the Scottish countryside. She doesn't count on a run-in with the stuck-up, maddening, local landowner Lady Susannah Karlson, who tries to boss her around as if she owns the whole town, which she sort of does. Closeted, wealthy, ice queen Lady Karlson's having the worst year - becoming widowed, being embroiled in a public feud over her vast estate, and now finding herself at odds with the sharp-tongued new vet.

loved storyline
Reviewed: 11-24-19
I was particularly interested in this novel because it picked up on characters from my favorite Jenny Frame novel, Unexpected. But it was really hard to listen. Even if I weren't so used to having Nicola Victoria Vincent reading Ms Frame's novels, I would still hate the narration. The accent sounded so fake and jarring it spoilt it for me.

But a betrayal sends her reeling into an existential crisis and, needing fast and ferocious change, she decides to cut it all out. Tess Upton is good at her job. It isn’t just that she’s an expert stylist. She’s also a dedicated listener, experienced at hearing her client's desires and gently guiding them toward the needed shifts in their lives. She’s not comfortable, however, with talking about her own needs-- and she’s deathly afraid of change. When Kensi asks Tess to cut off all her hair, it isn’t just a hair cut. It’s a fresh start for both of them. But when their pasts keep tangling with the present, can they still hope for a future together?
