Just Another Harlequin Romance

Formula: Boy meets girl, they're perfect for each other, they fall in love, one has a secret which becomes insurmountable, a nefarious villain, a tragic misunderstanding drives them apart - but true love always prevails. Throw in a bit of sexual titillation . . . because it sells.

It was Valentine's Day. I succumbed to a weak moment and bought this. Oh well, no calories.

Great narration!

As always, I enjoy Sparks’ books. The only thing I can’t stand is the darn head-hopping.

I seriously don’t understand how so many authors can dedicate a chapter—or at least an entire section—to one person.

But Sparks will hop back and forth in sentences. It seriously takes away from the story, as I’m trying to figure out who’s talking.

Anyway, good story. While sad in parts, there is a happily ever after, something you can’t always count on with his books.

Well worth reading/listening. I do both. I find myself not wanting to allow the apps to update my location, often re-reading or re-listening to the story.

Loved it!

the narration was amazing! I love when they can really change each voice so that you know who's talking, but especially the emotion! I love me some Nicholas Sparks, but the ending left a little more to be desired. Either way, still another one I'd recommend to friends!

Love the Story line

This is one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books, having said that I was not a big fan of the narrator when he used his "female" or "kid" voice.. I will reread the book but probably won't listen to it again.
