A needed perspective on the story

Reviewed: 12-24-22

I loved hearing the story from Edward’s view. Not only that but you get to hear what everyone else is thinking. Edward never tells you exactly what the others are thinking so to hear it in his head answers a lot of questions. It clarifies Rosalie’s actions and helps make more sense.

I would enjoy hearing the rest of them through Edward.

Love the series just not this one

Reviewed: 06-02-22

I love Cat and Bones, but this story is truly Cats story. Telling Bones side leaves out a ton of the actual story. Not to mention I’m so used to hearing Bones accent in the other narrators voice that this one just fell flat. I have it 3 stars only because I love Cat and Bones.

Terrible narration awesome story

Reviewed: 07-14-21

I love this storyline but the narration is terrible. She talks too fast, without any change in voice for characters making it hard to follow along.

Thank God for the lady that said the unabridged version of this book is out on YouTube for free. I was prepared to skip this one but wanted to hear the story progression but couldn’t handle the narration.

I’m listening to the unabridged version now on YouTube.

Love the series

Reviewed: 08-21-20

I love this series and the characters. It’s lacking without Tavia Gilbert to narrate though. Tavia does such a good job with the characters,especially Bones, that without those established voices it takes away from the performance.

Didn't want it to end

What made the experience of listening to Men in Kilts the most enjoyable?

You have two people that fall head over heels for each other at first sight. An american mystery writer and a Scottish sheep farmer.Even though it is only written from the female leads perspective so you don't get to hear what he is thinking you can see it in his actions.

Who doesn't love a good Highland romance.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved watching the relationship grow between the two. I didn't want the book to end. I could have listened to more of the daily lives of this couple. There was never a dull moment that was for sure.

What about Cassandra Campbell’s performance did you like?

I think she did a good job with the accents and the characters. She was easy to listen to and the story flowed so smoothly it was almost like watching it unfold. I didn't have any trouble knowing who was talking.

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

I did laugh out loud a few times and even rolled my eyes some. I didn't cry but there was drama there. Nothing was really a surprise and I could tell what was going to happen but I really didn't want it to end where it did.

Found it boring

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment. I love the Stephanie Plumb series and Diesel is one of my favorite characters so I picked this one up. It's just weird to have him interact with the exact same character as Stephanie only the name is different.

Not to mention there is just way too much that is too far out in left field. I couldn't find anything tangible in the story I could grab onto. It's just a little over the top. Like it's trying too hard to be part of the Stephanie Plumb series.

Snarky and fun

What made the experience of listening to Hard Day's Knight the most enjoyable?

I like an Alpha male paired with a strong, smart, and sarcastic female. Can't help but laugh at some of the one liners.

Any additional comments?

I love Katie Mcalister and this book did not disappoint. All of her books have a strong female lead paired with a strong Alpha male. I didn't guess the villain in this one until late in the story but it was a good read.

Dissappointing

Any additional comments?

Really wish I hadn't picked this one up. It appears to be a bunch of very small anthologies all run together. They are big enough for explicit sex to happen once and there is more sex than there is story.I only made through the first 3 stories and that was 6 minutes.

Epic continuation of Outlander

Reviewed: 04-05-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Even though it's a little confusing at first, if you loved Outlander you need this book as well. Outlander ended with Claire and Jamie in the hot baths of the Monastery with Claire about to tell Jamie she was pregnant.

This book starts with Claire and her 20 year old daughter on the doorstep of Roger Wakefield in Scotland. Her husband Frank has died and she is about to tell her daughter the truth. She needs Roger to locate what happened to the men of Lallybroch so she can tell the end of the story.

Once she starts the telling, Claire and Jamie are in France and Claire pregnant. They are trying to stop the rising of prince Charles to stop the battle of Culloden.This book takes the story from here all the way to Claire coming through the stones. It ends with even more story left to tell.

This is an epic love story and the author has done an excellent job putting the story together. There is so much in this book and the one before that each could have been 5 or 6 novels on their own. I don't think if they were chopped up they would have had the same effect. The story needs every bit of the storyline as the author has laid it out.

The narrator is perfect. She had the English and Scottish accents from t he first book and then threw the French in this one as well. She does a marvelous job. I never lost track of who was talking. Excellent job on both.
