About this listen

Morgan Thompson likes her life just fine. She has a tight-knit family, two opinionated cats, and her job as office manager for her brother Perry’s medical practice. Perry’s an eligible bachelor, but his divorce left him gun-shy, so Morgan has fun tweaking his responses to potential dates online, using her affinity for words to make him sound impressive. When new pharmaceutical rep Zoe Blake walks into his office, though, he’s smitten, and he needs Morgan more than ever.

Zoe is beautiful and a little mysterious, and doesn’t seem terribly interested in Perry. Morgan decides she’ll need to get to know Zoe before she plays matchmaker. But soon, she’s talking books and movies and writing to her as Perry, and the more she knows, the more she wants to know, until she begins to wonder: Is she wooing Zoe for her brother? Or for herself?

It's okay?

I've always enjoyed Georgia's early writing, but this story is predictable and slightly unlikeable. The character Zoe could've had a bit more depth, and it fell short. Morgan was half the time alright and half the time frustrating, but not in the good way. The narrator was also just okay. I would listen to this book as background, but its not one to get into and stay interested.

Beers’ wonderful universe

Another gem of a take on upstate New York.

An easy going Cyrano light pairing develops over golf, drinks, and actual conversation. The romance novel pattern of a hurdle seems a little forced but I didn’t mind one bit as this particular storytelling technique held my interest and I forgave it. I will say, I miss the Lori Prince take on the universe as at times it wasn’t as easy to tell the two leads apart vocally. Can’t wait for the next Beers’ book.

such a great story

i had never heard aj ferraro's narration before. at first i wasnt sure if i liked it but then the more i listened the more i realized she was excellent for the genre. aj is authentic and a convincing story teller. i will seek out more of her work. georgia - i loved the story. again, authentic relationship issue addressed-so relatable. thanks for sharing your gift.

Love Georgia Beers, hated the narrator

I had high hopes for this latest book, but I could not stand the narrator. I honestly had trouble even finishing it. I’m sure the characters would have been more believable, and “real” but the narrator did not do them justice.
Will have to read the book myself.

Again and again

Georgia Beers does it again. A romance novel with really touching scenes. Her plots are interesting and sad and joyful. The performance was near perfect. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone.

Classic with a twist.

You can’t not love Georgia Beers’ books, and this one was not only prose it included poetry, and I loved it.
AJ Ferraro brought it to life and I loved that as well.
All in all: get it, listen to it and love it.

What a wonderful book!

George Beers has done it once again! An enthralling book with witty banter, lovable MCs, tons of chemistry, and a romantic first kiss. Only negative, and it’s really my issue, I’m just not a big fan of the narrator. I have a hard time distinguishing which MC is speaking a lot of the time. Know it’s my hearing and probably not a problem for most people.

Worth a credit

Story was pretty good. Liked both MCs, which is important to me. No unnecessary drama, likable supporting characters. Narration wasn’t bad…Some parts could have benefited from more of an emotional investment on the narrator’s part, and one of the side characters’ voices sounded a bit off from the description, but I would listen to more books with this narrator, no problem.

Who else thinks Georgia should have narrated this?

This is the first time I've listened to this narrator and the whole time I listened I just kept thinking it would have been perfect read by the author herself. (just like in Starting From Scratch) She would have been perfect! The story was cute and pretty predictable but I still enjoyed it.
