About this listen

HarperCollins asked readers what story they would most like to see from four best-selling authors. They responded....

A handsome hero returns from war, battle-scarred and world-weary. But family duty calls and he must find a bride.

A young lady facing yet another season without a suitor never expects to find herself the object of his affections.

I’ve barely begin listening, but the first story already has me engrossed and positive that I’ll get other books by this author. Hopefully with the same narrators. If you can’t get it now, put this book on your wish list.

Wonderful!

All talented authors, but I liked the second story, by Mary Balogh, the best. The stories were enhances by the performances of both Simon Prebble and Anne Flosnik.

THE THEME: A handsome hero returns from war, battle-scarred and world-weary. But family duty calls and he must find a bride.

Variety of Stories with the Same Theme!

I love the premise of this collection, and for the most part it is well executed. The individual works are characteristic of the the four writers, and if you are familiar with and like them already, you will enjoy this. Simon Prebble did a nice job of narration as well. However, he only narrated two of the stories. The other two narrations were much less enjoyable. For some reason, the woman who narrated the Mary Balogh story said the word "lover" as if she was taking part in a Saturday Night Live sketch. It was distracting, annoying, and unnecessary. I took off a star for this.

I loved this book, except for one thing...I took off one star for the female narrator. They should have let Simon Prebble read the whole thing instead of only 2 of the 4 stories, because (in my opinion) the woman who read the other two did a horrible job. You could hardly tell one character from another, and she over-acted everything. If you can get past that, you will enjoy it too.

Another great one, but...

Enjoyed the concept of the same story presented by favorite authors. Liked it and hope to see the concept again.

I must relay that the narrator Ann Flosnik breathy voice was distracting.
I like the concept of the four stories on the same characters. Listeners should pause between each, read or listen to another book.

Two narrators- one good, the other...

The first story was great and I am a fan of all of these authors, but changing from Simon Prebble to Anne ruined the whole experience. It was as if I asked the original Siri to narrate a book for me.

The second narrator was bad I couldn't finish the

I love how they were all able to stick to the basic pillars decided on for each story while also making each story unique. I wish more authors believed in the idea of team work makes the dream work because I really enjoyed this & we need more like it . the first was my favorite. I also happen to wish finding the right man could work so quick and easy in real modern life

I was very happy with this purchase! I own everything Stephanie Laurens and Mary Balogh have written so I knew I would love their stories. Was surprised and pleased with the other two authors and will look into purchasing some of their books. All the stories flowed very well and were very entertaining. I really liked finding out what 4 different authors did with the same set of circumstances. It was very enjoyable and a very easy listen. ENJOY!

Loved It!
