An Arrangement of Sorts

Very clean story, only a few kisses! Not much action, mostly character driven, exploring the developing feelings between the H/h. Most conflict was readily dispensed with but the 2 people were so lovely it was still an enjoyable listen. With all the conflict in the world today it was nice to escape into a quiet, gentle story.

The narrator did a good job overall; she had different voices for everyone & switched easily between them. Mostly she portrayed the emotion of the characters well, but she tended to whisper a little too often than I thought was appropriate. I got a little sleepy from time to time. I wouldn’t let it stop anyone from listening, though!

There were some editing glitches where the narrator read a phrase then paused & read it again, things like that that didn’t get cleaned up, but it wasn’t annoying. Overall, a good listen, taking all of the above into account.😊

likeable and clean

The narrator had good accents and distinguishable characters. The plot was engaging albeit predictable. I would listen to this book again.

A Very Enjoyable Read!

What witty and engaging characters! I look forward to reading more works written by Rebecca Connolly.

loved it!

super cute, funny and sweet. absolutely loved it! the main character is super witty and Corky as well as stubborn, which makes for a fun book wgile she banters with her companion!

Very nice and lovely!

I loved the story, it does drag on. They’re 80% of the time on a horse. But I really enjoyed their conversations 😌 so romantic

Interesting

Story was good and I didn't mind narration. I like the dynamics between the characters.

An unexpected delight

If you love romance, this book is for you. Well done! Jessica Elisa Boyd is a marvelous narrator!

Absolutely delightful!

If you could sum up An Arrangement of Sorts in three words, what would they be?

Beyond my expectations.

What did you like best about this story?

I was a bit skeptical about this book after reading one reader's review concerning the great amount of dialogue in AN ARRANGEMENT OF SORTS. However, we got to know the characters well through their honest, witty, sometimes reflective, sometimes bantering conversations.

What about Jessica Elisa Boyd’s performance did you like?

This is one book that I feel one should definitely listen to rather than read. To hear the English accent, the French in places, and the emotion of the character's conveyed by Boyd's performance totally enhanced the book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. In fact, as soon as I finished listening to the book the first time, I started listening to it over again, and when I finished it the second time, I started listening immediately to AN ARRANGEMENT OF SORTS the third time!

Any additional comments?

I'm hoping there will be other Audible choices by the same pair of Connolly and Boyd.

Excellent story & narration

I hope this author writes more and this narrator performs more books. Both are very gifted and talented. Well worth the credit and time!!

Really nice story that just sailed leisurely along

There are no great surprises in this book but it is a calming and relaxing read.
I enjoyed it!
