Pleasantly surprised

I have read most of Lisa Kleypas’ books and love almost all of them (a few exceptions). I wanted to start this series but resisted due to the negative reviews on the narration. I ended up picking it up when it was on sale so decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did! The narrator is not terrible! I didn’t mind her at all.

That being said…it is not my favorite but not at the bottom of my Kleypas books list either. Great premise but dragged a bit. I didn’t have any trouble putting it down to get things done, unlike most of her books when I stay up all night just to finish. I have the next two books ready to listen to but I also see they are about to be re-recoded by Rosalyn Landor. Not sure if I want to hold off of not yet.

In any case - don’t let the negative reviews of the narrator hold you back from giving this one a try.

A bit predictable

Author certainly tied up the outstanding bullet point for the storyline. No surprises there. No cliff hanger…no apparent sequel part 2. Yawn…

Here to take up for the narrator!

I don’t get it, in fact I have added her to my list of favorite narrators. She was great, her MFC voice was sweet and soothing, her side character voices were great, and her MMC voice was dropped just enough to not sound so feminine but didn’t sound hoaky or nasally as some do which can be very distracting. One of the most popular narrators, I won’t name names because I’m not out to hurt feelings, but her male voices always sound so nasally and oooold I cannot get into them as a romantic lead, ew, I always pass on any book she narrates. But Anna was wonderful. The story itself was fun, as some will say the MC had bad motives that made him seem like a bit of a jerk but he genuinely cared for the FC as the story unfolded and I liked it.

Another good Kleypass story

Well, it’s Lisa Kleypass so it’s bound to be good!

I was going along thinking this was an okay story but it kept getting better.

The narrator was okay. Not my favorite but I didn’t find her distracting from the story.

Great Story almost ruined by performance

The story line was one of LK's best. I usually skip through tedious dialogue, but not so with this book. Unfortunately I did not like the narrator. The female voice was too high-pitched and whiny and her male voice was just a bit lower than her female voice. If the book had been narrated by Rosalyn Landor, I would have given it 5 stars for all categories.

Lots of change ups. Nice

I liked the characters, their shared mystery was great. I wish that the heroine didn’t simper so much but the part was great.
