About this listen

Debut novelist Michele Grant pens a juicy tale in Heard It All Before. Best friends Jewellen and Renee think they know Dallas men like the backs of their hands. But that’s before Jewellen unexpectedly falls for a guy from the wrong side of the tracks, and Renee gets lured away from her own man by a hard-bodied hottie.

Despite some other reviews, I thought this was pretty good. It kept my attention and some parts were even comical. I enjoyed it.

Great Listen

This book held my attention from start to finish and for the most part was pretty good. The narrators were all good, but I did like some of them better than others. Most parts were pretty predictable, but still several parts definitely brought out a chuckle and an audible "uh-uhnnn".

Bottom line: I would give this author another try.

Not Great But Certainly Good!

Where does Heard It All Before rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book does rank fairly high in my library. The implementing of four narrators to assume the role of each character does allow a better comprehension of their mind set, especially the male mindset since it is reflecting their POV.

What other book might you compare Heard It All Before to and why?

A bit more spice and it could hold its own to a Zane manuscript. (just a little)

interesting read

A wonderful sisterhood of friendships. I love the playful banter between the couples, and the way the author steps out of story mode from time to time to grab your attention, then smoothly bouncing back again to the wonderful storytelling.

Funny, playful, sexy!

The female narrators were monotone and extremely dull. The story was also overly detailed and the dull performance did not help.

Poor Performance

I don’t usually write reviews however this book was awful from the start. The narrators were hard to listen to with awkward pauses and the story line was predictable and boring. I tried a few times to listen but couldn’t deal past the first few chapters.

Hard to Follow

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Bought the book based on the ratings and description (a lesson!) and was sorely disappointed by the excessive descriptives (do I REALLY need to know the details of what you're wearing and thinking EVERYTIME!?!) and overused idiomatic language (to substantiate the "downness", I suppose) that seemed to be a cover for telling a good story. I found myself rolling my eyes at the characters because I didn't like them and couldn't fit them into any reality. An urban tale spun by the ever so good looking, great job, hood to riches, quick witted (not really), got-it-all-together characters left me wanting. There was absolutely NO depth or sincerity. I'd advise the author to look at the writings of Diane McKinney-Whetstone or JD Mason to see how soulful love stories are spun. Black love is a beautiful thing and deserves a good telling.

Non-poetic urban storytelling
