Eager to hear more...

Enticing story, narrated with a soothing and melodic cadence. The descriptions of the setting transported me there. I was a little nervous about where this story was heading, but was left hoping there would be a next chapter to listen to.

Outstanding!

The narrative of this tale was evocative and mesmerizing. I felt like I was right there with the businessman, walking down the road, following the skater. I didn't want the story to end. The narration kept me riveted and I made everyone around me be quiet so that I could enjoy the scenery depicted. Excellent story by this author and narrator. Give me more!

Nice little story

Sweet little story well read with crisp descriptions that leaves you wanting more. Narration was easy to listen to with fully developed characters and vivid descriptions.

Reminded me of my visit to Italy

I visited Aviano Italy in 2011. This story reminded me of that time. The narrator had to have been to Italy or is Italian, because it sounded like the table talk that I heard every morning over my Espresso Americano at the local coffee shop. It brought back very fond memories.

Such a great story!

I truly loved getting lost in this tale. The narrator, Emelle, has such a wonderful presence as she tells this wonderful tale of a man taking a chance and following an adventure (and potentially love!). The Italian accent was so much fun to listen too; I cannot wait to hear the next book. 5 stars for such a perfect read! Recommend any time, anywhere, and especially a great way to calm you down during traffic.

Engaging and Sweet!

This was a very sweet and quick listen. The narrator kept me engaged throughout the story, which was descriptive and made me want to travel to Italy! The ending also left me wanting more and wondering what will happen next!

My First Review

It's snowing here, so I made a cup of coffee and sat down to listen to this.
I'm glad I did.
The story was descriptive, but not so much that it interfered with the flow.
The narration was great and really gave the characters.life.

Good short story and easy listening

I'm always hesitant to listen to short stories because I feel that the characters and plot are often underdeveloped. This short wasn't. I really liked the MC and the 'skating little matchmaker.' The description made me feel like I was there with the characters. Easy listening and the narration was excellent! My only complaint is that the businessman didn't meet 'her' (I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't read it). I would like to see more of that relationship and how it did or didn't turn out. It feels like a first chapter and a great starting point for a full novella.

Charming Story

A very charming story. The narration is absolutely superb. Perfect pitch, perfect cadence and wonderful, full, vocal characterizations. The narrator really kept me with the story - quite talented!
