Loving Gigi

The Andrades, Book 5

De: Ruth Cardello

Narrado por: Robin Rowan

Gigi Bassano

Young. Beautiful. Idealistic. Proud. Gigi was raised outside the Andrade clan, but it has left her with an ache she cannot deny. When she's invited to her brothers' weddings, she refuses at first, then changes her mind and attends without telling anyone. She won't let herself love them, but she can't stay away. It's a recipe for disappointment and heartbreak...especially when she throws herself at her brother's best friend, Kane.

Kane Sander

Sexy, rich, loyal, protective. He shouldn't want her. But he will. He should stay away from her. But he won't. Love doesn't follow anyone's rules. Deny it. Run from it. Love always finds a way.

Great series

Would you consider the audio edition of Loving Gigi to be better than the print version?

I love the story line but the performance voice was not good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Gigi, she had a rough start in life but made the best of what she had.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I love listening to audio books, the performance voice was nasally.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed and cried while listening to this book.

Good story

I have enjoyed this book as I have this series. Had I didn’t enjoy the series as much as I did, I would have not finished this book because the narrator was horrible for it!

Great story, horrible narration!

Loved the story. It was a great wrap up of the series. However, having Italian characters speak with a Southern accent and British speaking characters sound like cartoons really took away from the story. It was distracting.

Another Ruth Cardello success

I just love the Andrades!! Ruth doesn't disappoint with Gigi's story. There is such chemistry between Kane and Gigi! And I liked how the family was all brought together! This book keeps you interested from the very first! The narration was good! Very easy to listen to and didn't want to stop until I finished!

Good book with loving characters

Gigi was insecure with her place in the Andrade's family.
After coming to her brothers wedding and being swept off her feet by the handsome Kane, she faces her life with the hope to be able to fit and be accepted by them. Lovely story!!

Disappointed in narrator

I feel books in a series should all be narrated by the same person. Four of the five in this series were; the last was terrible. It was like meeting the characters all over again. Instead of the characters being portrayed as wealthy Italians the narrator portrayed them as blue collar Americans....very disappointed.

Book was amazing, narrator no so much

After listening to the other books in this series being narrated by a different, amazing narrator, this other person just threw it all off. She changed the tone of the characters in the book. Some of the voices she gave to the characters we like she hadn't read the previous books before to get a feel of who they are and what they should sound like. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the book but the new narrator dos throw me off.

Great Series!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the fifth book in The Andrades series written by Ruth Cardello and narrated by Robin Rowan. This book can be listened to in one sitting if you have the time, once I started listening to it I didn’t want to put it down until the end. Gigi was raised outside the Andrade clan, but it has left her with an ache she cannot deny. When she's invited to her brothers' weddings, she refuses at first, then changes her mind and attends without telling anyone. She won't let herself love them, but she can't stay away. It's a recipe for disappointment and heartbreak...especially when she throws herself at her brother's best friend, Kane. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. This was such a great read and full of surprises.
The narrator Robin Rowan did a great job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to in one sitting. I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.
If you are looking for a great book with great characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

narrator is horrible

This was really painful to listen to. I was spoiled by the original narrator, who did a great job with accents and kept voices consistent throughout all the previous books. I will finish it but she certainly makes it less enjoyable.

Loving Gigi

Loving Gigi. I have read quite a few of Ruth Cardello books. They are quite good but almost in every single one a women in ordinary circumstances meets a billionaire is a variety of ways, and then the guy falls for the woman who in most cases is a working woman in various situations. It goes he spends most of the book convincing her he is worthy of her. I am getting a bit over some of these women, most act like spoiled brats. In this particular book Gigi acts like this, no guy would put up with the way she and women in the other books behave. The are given so much lives of luxury, helicopters, apartments and so on but the men still have to beg to be accepted until the end. Some have a bit more interest in them but others I skip on a bit particularly the sex scenes which are very repetitive.
