Banner Elk Breeze

Mountain Breeze Series, Book 1

By: Ed Robinson

Narrated by: Timothy G Little

Breeze escapes his demons in Florida by moving to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. He and Brody are settling into their new life when he stumbles onto a plot of marijuana plants on public land. Knowing a thing or two about growing weed, Breeze befriends the mysterious mountain man tending to the crop. When his new friend is killed, he tries to help law enforcement solve the crime. When the authorities prove reluctant, he is forced to take matters into his own hands. In the process, he transforms from boat bum to a true man of the mountains.

A derailment of a good series

I enjoyed Breeze and his boating adventures. When Breeze suddenly went to the mountains of North Carolina I was disappointed but as a NC native, I thought it would be ok. Two things ruined this book for me. First, the narrator reads it as if he’s reading the words for the first time. With unnatural pauses and little inflection. Second the magical mountain man skills that Breeze suddenly develops just don’t make sense in the story line. Of course you need to suspend disbelief to follow Breeze in any of these books. But Breeze besting some meth bums, or locals in a foreign country, or being a master boat handler all fit with the character. Coming from the flatlands and suddenly being supernaturally skilled in the woods because he spent a few weeks with Pop is incongruous. I’m skipping the rest of this series and this narrator and returning to the sea with Breeze in the next series.

You shall reap what you sow…

I liked the story. The narrator was ok but not quite right for this character. The previous narrator was better with voice for these characters and better than the original narrator beginning the Trawler Trash series. However, I will indeed continue this series to the end. They are approx. 5 hrs long and great for driving to/from work and doing activities around the house while listening. Thanks for the stories.

great road trip book

made 300 miles fly by in my car. kept me intrigued throughout the story

Still interesting...

The story of Breeze is still quite interesting and I will remain a listener. My issue with this particular book however is the surprise of yet another new narrator. It derails me when they get a new narrator because I'm used to the characters sounding a certain way. This particular narrator also seemed to be almost whispering at times which I didn't understand why. Oh well still a good read but please stop changing the narrator... This is the same thing that derailed me with Tim Dorseys series about Serge A Storms...

Great story as usual

I didn’t particularly care for the “new” narrator. If Ed could go back to the very first guy he used, I’d be ecstatic.

Entertaining story

the time passed quickly as I found myself getting into this story from the start.

Breeze, Robinson, Little- great team!

Have read two Breeze books, one in Florida and one in the Blue Ridge, and loved both. Hard to put down and now can’t wait to start the next!

Narrator Review, Still love Ed Robinson

Enjoyed the start to the new series (although) I'm a boat bum at heart. My less then steller review is about the narrator. He has no reflection or pitch change to his voice. He is completely monotone. He sounds the same whether it's Breeze's voice, Brody's voice or Cody's voice. Sorry just not a fan. But sill love Ed.....

big change for Breeze

I enjoyed story, I've lived in the mountains and moved to the Gulf Coast. it's interesting to see grease live on the water and move to the mountains. I appreciate situational awareness and oneness with his surroundings it was described in this book. I thought Timothy G Little did a very good job narating the story.

not at all as good as the trawler trash series

not as good as the trawler trash series. Should have left the body alone and called the cops.
