About this listen

International best-selling author Ava Miles of the number one national best seller Nora Roberts Land presents a fun, emotional, heartwarming romance about finding happily ever after in the most unlikely of places.

“I am adding Ava Miles to my list of always reads like Susan Mallery, Jill Shalvis, Kristen Ashley, and Nora Roberts.” (Marjay's Reading Blog)

She has a secret she can’t afford to be uncovered.

He needs everything to be on the table to succeed.

Jane Wilcox went into hiding when she and her best friend had to disappear to stay safe. The woman who emerged wore Jimmy Choo heels and Prada gowns and used her brilliant math skills incognito as a poker scout to help a notorious rock star poker player.

Tired from playing her alter ego, feeling like she might be safe at last, she’s given up her role. What could be safer than living in small town Dare Valley and working as a dog walker? Better yet, she’s trying to find her new sexy Inner Swan and a fairytale romance. When she meets Matt Hale in the dog park, she believes she’s struck gold.

The sexy lawyer is one of the good guys, a hero, totally boy-next-door material. He’s vowed to give his dog a good home and right the wrongs in the legal system after tragedy struck, so he’s running for mayor of Dare Valley.

Jane and Matt fall in love during sunset walks in the dog park, but soon Jane’s secret past comes back to haunt her and harms Matt’s bid for mayor. Can Jane and Matt’s love survive the controversy and find their happily ever after?

Much Ado About Nothing

While I enjoyed some parts of The Park of Sunset Dreams (mostly the dogs), I thought the plot was stupid and overly melodramatic.

Lawyer Matt wanted to be the mayor, which was portrayed like a national campaign rather a small town election, in which most residents care more about property taxes, good education and crime prevention than the candidate's love life.

Jane, dog wrangler and former poker babe, was educated at Harvard but stupid enough to think that any man who wanted to be a politician would be as coldly ambitious as her asshole father. And who really cares if Jane used to dress provocatively at poker tournaments?

Since I couldn't connect with Jane and Matt, my mind often wondered while listening. I thought that Matt's grandfather and his elderly friends were more entertaining than all the romantic drama.

disappointed

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

The book, absolutely. I love the way I can sink into an Ava Miles book.

The audiobook, No. The voice actress does the same voice for every female or male character, save one, which is done badly. Also, her enunciation is atrocious.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the book. Vivid detail that helps you feel like you are watching what is unfolding as if you were there, without making it excruciatingly detailed. Well rounded, amazing characters.

Would you be willing to try another one of Em Eldridge’s performances?

Never again.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Possibly. It would depend on casting, and direction. A miscast can ruin the whole thing, and a poor director can make a good actor fail abysmally. See: Quantum of Solace; Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights; Proof of Life; the Star Wars prequels; Etc.

Any additional comments?

No, thank you.
