the storyline contains a bit of everything!!!

the storyline contains a bit of everything... from a mystery, revenge, mistaken identity & of course a little romance. I enjoyed the characters they seemed to come to life . the storyline also held surprises & secrets. I recommend this audiobook.

Another good Kleypass story

Well, it’s Lisa Kleypass so it’s bound to be good!

I was going along thinking this was an okay story but it kept getting better.

The narrator was okay. Not my favorite but I didn’t find her distracting from the story.

Was okay

Was a good story just not my favorite from Lisa. I say give it a read.

Great Story almost ruined by performance

The story line was one of LK's best. I usually skip through tedious dialogue, but not so with this book. Unfortunately I did not like the narrator. The female voice was too high-pitched and whiny and her male voice was just a bit lower than her female voice. If the book had been narrated by Rosalyn Landor, I would have given it 5 stars for all categories.

Love

Romance novels relax and takes you away from the real world for a moment. Thank w

Lots of change ups. Nice

I liked the characters, their shared mystery was great. I wish that the heroine didn’t simper so much but the part was great.

Story line.

I liked the entertaining story line and the character development. Thanks for a great performance by the narrator.

Narrator' accent is so fake she sounds like a kid.

The narrator's accent is so fake she sounds like a kid. The story is too slow and unbelievable.

No problems with the narrator

After reading many reviews about the narration of this book, I was hesitant. But I am glad I took the chance. I was very happy with the narration. I thought she did a wonderful job. She had just the right innocent sounding voice to read for Victoria.

I may have had a different view had I listened to the other books in this series first, because I hate it when they change narrators. But since this was the first book I listened to, it didn’t bother me a bit.

Also, I loved the story. I had read this book many years ago, but I had forgotten all the details. So it was like experiencing this book for the first time all over again.

Pleasantly surprised

I have read most of Lisa Kleypas’ books and love almost all of them (a few exceptions). I wanted to start this series but resisted due to the negative reviews on the narration. I ended up picking it up when it was on sale so decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did! The narrator is not terrible! I didn’t mind her at all.

That being said…it is not my favorite but not at the bottom of my Kleypas books list either. Great premise but dragged a bit. I didn’t have any trouble putting it down to get things done, unlike most of her books when I stay up all night just to finish. I have the next two books ready to listen to but I also see they are about to be re-recoded by Rosalyn Landor. Not sure if I want to hold off of not yet.

In any case - don’t let the negative reviews of the narrator hold you back from giving this one a try.
