Julie Garwood is among the most critically acclaimed - and popular - romance authors around, with 36 million copies of her books in print. And now, with The Ideal Man, Garwood is poised to expand that already huge audience.

Dr. Ellie Sullivan has just completed her residency at a large urban hospital. While jogging in a park nearby, she witnesses the shooting of an FBI agent in pursuit of wanted criminals, a couple identified as the Landrys. The only person to see the shooter’s face, Ellie is suddenly at the center of a criminal investigation.

Agent Max Daniels takes over the Landry case. A no-nonsense lawman, he’s definitely not the ideal man that Ellie has always imagined, yet she’s attracted to him in a way she can’t explain.

Ellie heads home to Winston Falls, South Carolina, to attend her sister’s wedding. Shortly after she arrives, though, she receives a surprise visitor: Max Daniels. The Landrys have been captured, and she’ll be called to testify. But they’ve been captured before, and each time the witnesses are scared into silence - or disappear before they can take the stand. Max vows to be Ellie’s shadow until the trial, and it isn’t long before sparks fly....

Not too short, not too long. Julie never disappoints, neither does the narrator, Christina. Good job!

Enjoyable novel

I have all of Julie Garwood's books.
I have this book on my nook and the audio version as well. I was especially pleased with this narrator. So far, she has been the best narrator of the 15 I have heard. She put more life into the story than the others I have listened to.

Great story!

I have been a fan of Jennifer Ashley for a while now, and The Ideal Man, as narrated by Christina Traister, did not disappoint!! The characters are well developed, and although it is a relatively short novel, their relationships are well established. I only wish that JA had turned this book into the first of a series. I thoroughly appreciated this listen. Definitely Credit Worthy! Enjoy!

Should be a Series...Loved It!
