About this listen

Dressed in Victorian attire, Juliana Anderson gives guests at her cozy New England bed and breakfast a taste of old-fashioned hospitality. Whether she’s cooking up delights in her kitchen or maintaining the rooms in her beautifully decorated inn, Juliana stays busy and content. Until Webster Donovan arrives - tall, rugged, and sexy beyond belief.

The lean, dark-haired author has a bad case of writer’s block and he’s planned a six-week stay to cure it. But this beautiful woman is proving even more distracting to the cause. For prim, polite Juliana has a wild side: She rides a Harley and hides a troubled past. The moment Webster watches her take off her motorcycle helmet and shake loose those long, flame-colored curls, he finds his muse - and loses his heart. But can romance with a woman afraid to trust in love last longer than a moment in time?

Leichte Lektüre für einen Bachmittag

Would you try another book from Suzanne Brockmann and/or Patrick Lawlor?

Ich würde schon wieder ein Buch von der Autorin wählen. Um eine Englischkenntnisse zu erweitern, ist sie eine gute Wahl. Auch die Stimme des Vorlesers war sehr angenehm, allerdings hat er mir manchmal zu sehr dramatisiert.

If you’ve listened to books by Suzanne Brockmann before, how does this one compare?

Das war mein erstes Hörbuch von ihr. Gelesen hab eich schon mehr von ihr.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Die unterschiedlichen Charactere sind gut rübergekommen, allerdings wurde es mir manchmal zu schrill.

Did Future Perfect inspire you to do anything?

Nein

Just Okay

This book was an easy listen however, it was just okay for me. I have listen/read other Suzanne Brockmann books and you can tell this was one of her earlier books. I didn't dislike the book, it sort of dragged for me. The characters were well developed and the story was as well, but I got bored in the middle. It is a true romance book. It did make me laugh a few times. This is not a bad book, It is just not one of her best work. I will continue to listen and read other books by this author. This was the first time with this narrator and he did a good job.

so-so

There was nothing and no one in this story to make the reader actually care. Juliana is, in a word, pissy. Webster is appealing except for this one huge lapse in judgement--for some unknown reason he falls head-over-heels in love with Juliana--who, as I think I mentioned, is pissy.

Then there is the part at the end where I think she makes him grovel way too much.

I generally like Brockmann's non-Troubleshooter books, but this was a general fail for me.

I've listened to Patrick Lawlor perform several audiobooks in the past and I like his voice and delivery. I particularly enjoyed his reading of Brockmann's Infamous. In this case he didn't have much to work with. I do think his delivery of love scenes to be a bit too enthusiastic. A more subtle approach would make the scenes more sensuous

Cute!

I decided to get this book because it was inexpensive and I was looking for something light and easy to listen to. It was a cute story! Better than I expected. I thought the main characters charming. Definitely worth the cost!

Brockmann romance

Any additional comments?

Nice love story, fun to listen to. As always, I especially enjoyed Patrick Lawlor's performance as well. The thing I love about Suzanne Brockmann is that her characters seem so real, even in this early novel. Even the secondary characters had such a great story, I wanted to read their romance!

ok - buy when on sale

I like Suzanne Brockmann's books - but I think this is one of her older ones. It was easy to listen to, but did not grab my attention.

Suzanne Brockmann has done it yet again!!!

Have you ever wanted to go back in time to when women always wore dresses, men opened carriage doors for them, and a smile or a hand shake would have your stomach tied in knots? Sometimes, right? Well Juliana has the best of both worlds. While she can pretend to be a prim and proper victoria lady, she can also don a pair of jeans and sit astride....not on a horse but a motorcycle and enjoy the amenities of modern day...which first attracted me to the character and... no to mention the eye of Webster Donovan.

I enjoyed this book, as I have with most of Suzanne Brockmann's work. While not a mystery/romance as some of her titles have been, this one will keep you laughing, crying and even getting angry.

I have to say though, I didn't give this book 5 out of 5 because, Juliana's wining grated on my nerves just a little... but hey, if there wasn't something from stopping the two from getting together right away, it would have been a very short book.

All in all I enjoyed listening to Patrick Lawlor narrate. It is hard to find a male narrator who can portray/voice a female character without making her sound like a transgender male.

I listened, I enjoyed and I will continue to purchase Suzanne's audio books.

Thank you.

Kind of slow and boring

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I love most of her books but this one was slow and boring and I felt like I wanted to fast forward through most of it. This one won't stop me from listening to more Suzanne Brockmann books as I have listened to many that I love.

Cute story, unimpressive narrator

The story was cute for a romance, but the narrator wasn't right for the genre. He didn't provide enough inflection, character differentiation or change in rhythm.
