Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,441
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century.

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story.

Another fantastically written Emily Henry story!

I absolutely loved the dry humor, the deep character development of each of the players and how well the story flowed. Emily Henry is one of my absolute faves. You will love Daphne & Miles.

Story4 out of 5 stars 159
The truth? Lonely advertising rep Malia Evergreen is still waiting for a soul mate, marriage, and a family. The lie? Telling every busybody she knows that she’s met someone. Now it’s a matter of finding him. Malia needs a date for a wedding. In a pinch she strikes a bargain with her former client, CEO Palmer Matterson—an arrogant, defiantly single, alpha billionaire whose best quality is insincerity. The perfect fake date.

Boring & poor female narrator
Reviewed: 08-31-23
I used to love Jennifer Probst’s books. Unfortunately, the theme of the martyr is becoming really old. Back and forth and back and forth! The protagonist always seems to take one step forward and two steps back. It gets old. But the worst part of this book? The female narrator. She should be narrating children’s books NOT steamy novels. It became confusing when she switched between the different female characters. I almost felt gross listening to her voice in steamy love scenes. It was really weird. The male narrator was fine. But, all in all, I am over Jennifer Probst books.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 157
Oldest story in the book: boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy screws up massively, girl tells boy to suffocate in the fruits of his very own unborn children. Heard it before? I'm sure you have. So what's so different about this story? Well, it's about me, The Modern Gentleman, New York City's top advice columnist, and my rather ungraceful downfall from my pristinely polished pedestal. It's about a girl I met who threw all my proven theories to the wind and left me awkward, needy, and absolutely head-over-wing-tipped shoes in love.

Painfully dull narration
Reviewed: 03-01-23
And, I just couldn’t get through the whole audio even though it is about 5 hours. The narrator made Wes sound so dull. The story never really grabbed me. Not one of this author’s best. Wish I could return it.

Ava thinks love should be found in the real world, not on apps that filter men by height, job, or astrological sign. She believes in feelings, not algorithms. So after a recent breakup and dating app debacle, she decides to put love on hold and escapes to a remote writers' retreat in coastal Italy. At the retreat, she's not allowed to use her real name or reveal any personal information. When the neighboring martial arts retreat is canceled and a few of its attendees join their small writing community, Ava, now going by "Aria", meets "Dutch", a man who seems too good to be true.

I would have given this 5 stars except the narrator of Cooper was terrible! It was as if he was reading his script for the first time. Sadly, he is one of the funniest characters, too! I love Meghan Quinn books. She is so funny and her characters are well-created and witty.

I am normally okay with Andi Arndt. She’s not a spectacular narrator but not bad. She was hard to listen to. Didn’t like the story line, either.

I love the premise of this story line. But the narration is drab and dull. No emotion in the characters voices. I will read this book but I cannot finish the Audible version! I couldn’t even get through the second chapter! Ugh!

In a sleepy seaside town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth "Evvie" Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husband’s death in a car crash. Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesn’t correct them. Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andy’s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the "yips": he can’t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he can’t figure out why.

Graham Greene’s evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.
