Narrator was...meh

I came across Aurora Rey by chance and I’m a fan of series’s, so I decided to give it a whirl. The story itself isn’t bad. At times overtly descriptive, but not descriptive enough for most “scenes”. I just felt like the picture couldn’t be painted, completely. Also the narrator lacked emotion. It sounded more like she was reading a book to Kindergarteners about flowers, not narrating a romance novel.
I’m going to continue with the series, because I enjoy witnessing the character growth(if any) and how their beings intertwine. Hopefully the next book doesn’t disappoint.

Great book!

I enjoyed the book thoroughly. The push and pull between the main characters was interesting to watch. I especially liked that they found each other in the end...total sap moment! The narrator was also decent as well. Her spinthrrn drawl was qyite interesting to say the least. In the end, great book!

Brilliant Depiction of Learning to Trust

Lia Brooks moves to Provincetown after a ten year relationship ends because of cheating. Betrayal has caused her to push other women away. Alex McKinnon ones the Flower Pot Cafe which becomes Lia’s favorite place to do her science writing. Can they find a way to a real romance or move past each other. Great performance. Recommend.

very good romance

I loved the story, but the narrator didn't fit. The "southern" accent and "boston" accent attempts were laughable. but I really enjoyed the story.

Great chemistry

This book has great chemistry between the two main characters. A little too much agnst for my taste but overall another great book by this author.

Cute story

Cute story, I enjoyed most of the story but there were times I wanted to strangle the MC's.
Narration was okay not the best but not the worst I have listened too.

Not too bad

I enjoyed this book. It was a little slow but good overall. The narrator was not the best but I did stay connected.

Couldn’t finish

I’m so disappointed. Usually this author is a decent, not stellar, read. This one is flat as a pancake. Cardboard cliche characters who have to ponder about femme and butch-ness. There is nothing that really sparks interest, no real story. Just a series of excuses to throw in sex scenes everywhere. Will be returning this one. I got a little over half through and gave up.

Wow

Honestly this book was like watching paint dry. I tried to pick it back up every time I stopped, but finally I just gave up and returned it. Maybe if there was a different narrator it would’ve masked how dry the story is but that was not the case.

Disappointed

What disappointed you about Winter's Harbor?

The first few chapters were not bad, then boom in the bed they go. Really.

Has Winter's Harbor turned you off from other books in this genre?

No I lesbian books

Did Hollis Elizabeth do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Not bad, I have heard much worse

What character would you cut from Winter's Harbor?
