Story
Jackie Baker likes to pretend. She pretends she's happily married to her handsome, successful husband. She pretends she's the perfect mother to her two beautiful children. She even pretends that her secret job as a phone-sex operator is noble and fulfilling. But after years of pretending, Jackie's life is about to unravel. Her husband may be having an affair. Her mothering skills may be less than stellar, and her new client with the alluring voice is about to send her spiraling.

What made the experience of listening to Limerence the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed listening to the book being brought to life by the reader. I listened to it on an airplane and closed my eyes and the reader brought each character to life with different voices and inflections that kept me pulled in.
What other book might you compare Limerence to and why?
I don't have a particular book, but it was very interesting to travel inside Jackie's mind...
What about Catherine Hunter’s performance did you like?
She did the different voices *very* well. There were a number of accents required: Brittish, NY, little kids, male and female
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have loved to, but broke it up between a few plane rides on a recent trip.
Any additional comments?
It's always interesting to hear what goes on inside the mind of one who supposedly 'has it all' and it's a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. It's a well written story and leads readers into a world - phone sex - and psychological discourse that isn't run of the mill. It's a psychological thriller of sorts and it's well done. I learned a lot and was entertained. I certainly recommend this book.
