In a Fix

In a Fix, Book 1

De: Linda Grimes

Narrado por: Susan Bennett

Snagging a marriage proposal for her client while on an all-expenses-paid vacation should be a simple job for Ciel Halligan, aura adaptor extraordinaire. A kind of human chameleon, she's able to take on her clients' appearances and slip seamlessly into their lives, solving any sticky problems they don't want to deal with themselves. No fuss, no muss. Big paycheck.

This particular assignment is pretty enjoyable...that is, until Ciel's island resort bungalow is blown to smithereens and her client's about-to-be-fiancé is snatched by modern-day Vikings. For some reason, Ciel begins to suspect that getting the ring is going to be a tad more difficult than originally anticipated.

Funny and amazing

I haven't listened to a book that I really enjoyed in a bit and this one was great. It was funny and the character personality was consistent throughout the whole story. I even loved the narrator. Definitely recommend!

Witty

Very entertaining, constantly moving and fun. The humor is excellent I couldn't stop laughing during parts of the book. Great concept for a storyline. Always love to hear Susan Bennet read anything, but she does a great job giving the main character a unique personality. Great book, I plan on listening to the complete series.

Fun, twisty-turnny...

At first it was hard to follow which character was speaking, but once I caught on to the story I found it funny and different. Some twists and turns I didn't see coming. Lots of ludicrous situations throughout the story, but it was easy to let loose and just enjoy the ride.

The only (minor) complaint was that the main character was attracted to not one, not two, but three different men. She didn't have ability to discern what she wanted.

All in all, a fun listen.

Such a fun story!

Laughed out loud many times listening to this one! Great pacing all the way through. And wow, the narrator nailed the character. It’s rare to get such a perfect match of story and narration. Consider me a new fan of both her and the author! 😀

What a great surprise!

I listen to a lot of books on tape. I chose this book because I love Susan Bennet as a narrator and I though the story looked interesting. I have to say I enjoyed this book in a way I haven't enjoyed one in a long time. It was funny, sexy, exciting and frankly a lot of fun. I hope the sequel comes to audible sometime soon!

Not for me

I didn't know what this was. While the heroine is supposed to be an adult, it reads like it is written for young teenage girls. Not for me. From a purely critical viewpoint, it makes no sense to have a heroine who repeatedly gets herself in trouble because she can take care of herself, but she spends most of her time swooning over a couple guys, one a cousin, who she works with. Just not good.
