47 never felt so good!

This is my favorite Kirsten Ashley book! Thank you for making Amelia in her late 40's! We need more women like this helping society see that being in your 40's isstill YOUNG and sexy! Great story and kept me entertained from beginning to end.

Good, long slow

slow at beginning, finishes with a punch. i enjoyed it beginning to end. awesome read.

Ok

I waited until I read all three books in the series before deciding to leave a review. This one was my least favorite. I really struggled with the main characters but then there were moments I really liked.

Mickey was too much of a jerk to Amelia and I think he gave off way too many mixed signals. I don't like how he made her feel when he told her it wasn't happening in the beginning especially after trying to draw her into his family. Even when he finally pulled his head out of his behind, he still wasn't that great with her.

I'm a bit confused with Amelia's behavior before she changed for her kids. It sounded like she didn't really do all that much wrong but then sometimes it seemed she did. If what I got out of it, her kids did not treat her very well for what happened.

Once they were together, while I still didn't love Mickey, I did love some of the things that happened. I'm pretty torn on how I feel about this book so I rated it in the middle. I don't think I will read this one again.

As for the audio book....same narrator from the first book and I have the same issue with how much older she sounded. I'm curious if anyone else felt the same about this.

Good "feel good story" line

Great story. Sometimes the descriptions were to long and pointless. A little slow at first but I stuck in there and really got involved.

A good read

Enjoyed Soaring very much. Only thing that put me off is the constant swearing. Felt the story could go without it.

very good I enjoyed the entire book, a lot of sex

I enjoyed listening this book, didn't get enough hours in a day it seemed, good story

I needed that KA UMPF

I listened to my first audiobook so this review is of that. What a way to start as well, as it is almost 24 hours long.

First the narration: I felt like I was listening to Mary Alice’s voice on Wysteria Lane. This was an interesting, but a good thing. She did the man’s voice well, but sometimes I felt like she didn’t change the octave in her voice quick enough. This did not take away from the story, but it was noticeable.

For me, audible was enjoyable but also it felt like I was observing rather than putting myself in Amelia’s shoes. Not a bad thing, just, different.

I needed to get some serious spring cleaning done and this was the perfect long beautiful book to do so because listening to audio let me be a SUPER MOM!!

In typical Kristen Ashley form, she draws you in. There is something about her storytelling ability that is addictive and mesmerizing.

That said, this is a three for me. I felt like I missed something and that it was very anticlimactic. I have read at least a dozen other KA books and they have felt longer and longer, and sometimes that huge thing happens in the last hour, however, it never happened. Unless I hit fast forward somehow? I thought more was going to happen with Boston Stone and with the fire investigations. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and it didn’t.

This was a beautiful love story. It truly was, but I didn’t feel like we got that much of a story. I got to see two amazingly beautiful families blend and fall in love with each other.

So if you need to get lost in the typical Kristen Ashley way, you will. If you are looking for big explosive things then there are a ton of other books by Kristen Ashley that will deliver that. This will give you older characters that are very relatable, with a second chance at happiness.

Too much

I love these stories, but way too much descriptive sex. Most of us don’t need that kind of detail. I’ve taken to just fast forwarding through them after awhile and they really do nothing for the book.

Great book

This was funny and a great read. Would recommend highly. I love the romance and like the humor and the combining of two families

True KA awesomeness!

There is not a single book I don’t love by Kristen Ashley! Soaring is no different! I loved this 2nd book in the Magdalene Series. The imagery she writes is amazing! Be ready to be transported to Maine! Enjoy!
