Beowulf for Cretins

A Love Story

De: Ann McMan

Narrado por: Christine Williams

2019 LAMMIE Award Winner: Best Lesbian Romance!

English professor and aspiring novelist Grace Warner spends her days teaching four sections of Beowulf for Cretins to bored and disinterested students at one of New England's “hidden ivy” colleges. Not long after she is dumped by her longtime girlfriend, Grace meets the engaging and mysterious Abbie on a cross-country flight. Sparks fly on and off the plane as the two strangers give in to one night of reckless passion with no strings attached and no contact information exchanged.

Back home at St. Albans, the college rocks Grace's world when it announces the appointment of a new president, the first woman in its 165-year history. Cue Abbie - and cue Grace's collision course with a neurotic dog named Grendel, a fractious rival for tenure, and a woman called Ochre, in what very well might be Grace's last real shot at happiness.

This full-length novel reimagines and expands on the short story “Falling from Grace”, which was originally published in the award-winning story collection Sidecar, by Ann McMan.

Very sweet

Sweet, romantic and funny at times. Also, super PG. The reviews claiming passionate and sensual are a little misleading. The author skips love scenes entirely. They don’t even wake up next to each other. A few kisses and then skips to the next day every time. Still enjoyed the book, but if you were hoping for at least little steaminess you won’t find it here.

wonderful

A marvelous romance of the most wonderful. i love McMan's work this is a great addition to her many wonderful works.

I loved both the story & the narrator

The dialogue was witty. The story was a bit slow but far from boring. Main characters & side characters are likable. The narrator Christine did a great job!

Extremely Entertaining!

I laughed out loud many times, loved the character development and would highly recommend!!

For Cretins!

I love all of Ann McMan’s books. She brings genuineness to all of her quirky characters! I almost started listening to this again as soon as I finished it. As in The Jericho series you will love the characters of St. Albans! I highly recommend this book. I would have given it 10 stars if I could. Christine Williams brings truth to all characters and is spot on!

Excellent

I loved everything about this, from the story to the narration. A must listen for Lesfic fans, and one of the best from Ann McMan

Wonderful book

Another fantastic book by Ann MaMan! Christine Williams delivery of the narration is again icing on the cake! I strongly recommend all of the books written by MaMan and performed by Williams. The delivery of the dry wit and emotions is beautifully done.

Fun Story

Christine Williams could read the want ads and I would listen for hours! Ann McMan never disappoints and the narration of course was stellar.

Another Winner!

I don't know how she does it but, I hope Ann Mcman never stops writing. I have read all her books or listened to them on Audible and have never been disappointed. I actually read this one first and found out it was on Audible and couldn't resist getting it , especially having a wonderful Narrator in Michelle Williams....it was wonderful and I am impatiently waiting for her next book. Just get it....it's a no brainer!

Romance & a lot of fun!

This was such a fun, witty romance. Ann McMan writes some of the most entertaining dialogue I’ve ever read. You can’t go wrong with this one.
