Accents....ugh

Reviewed: 2023-09-29

Ok so, imma start off by saying that I love me some E (him nd Jaclyn tgther is fire)...nd altho I did enjoy this book, I had a REALLY hard time getting past the on again/off again Boston accents. Only a 3 star for performance as a result.

As far as the story went, I really enjoyed the pace nd the back nd forth between characters. it was believable that 2 life-long friends wouldn't wanna ruin a friendship nd were nervous to let loose the feelings running rampant.

Very enjoyable little book.

Once I got used to the churchy stuff, this was a great ride.

Loooove the spice. Perfect balance of a commanding no-nonsense man nd a strong, sexually open woman. The romance matched the kink.

I had a hard time with this one. I just never got into it. There were so many characters that I had a very difficult time keeping them straight. Perhaps it would have been better in book form

Perfectly Predictable

Reviewed: 2022-02-08

Haven't indulged in one of these stories in quite a while. The romance was predictable, as was the climax, but it was refreshing for a change from what I normally read.

The narrator was great. Giving just slight changes to each character. Didn't feel like a whole production, more like your momma reading to you nd doing voices. Callie was prolly my fave voice overall.

Good listen all around.

Narrator Issues

Reviewed: 2022-01-19

I enjoyed this book but did find myself not paying very close attention several times. The story was left kind of open ended as well and I wish we would have had some closure with some things.

My biggest issue is how young the narrator sounded as the main character is a 40 year old ex cop. There was no grit to her voice. No experience. Her voice better suited the 16 year old supporting character.

Worth a listen but, for me, not one I'd pick up again.

Man, I was diggin this up until the last few chapters. I was rooting for Penny and Beau and then, just like that, I was not.

*small potential spoiler*

I mean, obvs she doesn't realize cause she can't remember everything....but he does! How are you just gonna stay with someone, allow them to love you, while your heart beats for someone else?!

Ugh.

Otherwise a well written story. I have started 2 audiobooks in the last 3 weeks nd couldn't finish them. This one was captivating enuf to keep me listening. A+ My only complaint was the narrator sounding all breathy with every word.

Kept Me Guessing

Reviewed: 2021-05-25

This was my first experience with Lucy Foley. Was a bit difficult to sink my teeth into at first but eventually I just committed myself nd it got significantly better as it went on.

I thoroughly enjoyed the narrators accents, altho there were a few, Johnno in particular, who's voice wasn't matched up in my head. Obviously, that's just a me thing tho.

The plot was intricate nd well woven. Each characters stories were engaging nd all pretty important to the central theme. All coming to fruition in a "killer" ending that left me satisfied, eventho there were some obvious loose ends.

Overall, I'm happy with it nd will be moving on to The Hunting Party.

What an insightful peek into the man I have admired onscreen for so long. I say peek but really, it was more a deep satifying dive. What a life this man has lived nd mostly under the radar. Considering his celebrity, that's quite the feat! Get lost, educate, inspire yourself, look back, but mostly...just keep living.

great listen! I normally just listen at work...so it can take a week or two to get thru most audiobooks. this one took me two days...I was hooked. the back nd forth of each character reading their letters was nice change nd immensely enjoyable. I am much like Luca in many ways so I identified with her mindset nearly the entire time. being in the grip of panic attacks nd constant anxiety/worry is a very real nd very difficult thing. Griff was the perfect fantasy man...cause obvs they all hafta have a British (or even Australian) accent to swoon over...not to mention all his other swoonworthy attributes. nd my lord! that narrator! Holy cow! What an incredible voice this guy's got! I looked forward to his chapters the most...even the not naughty ones. there was sweetness nd passion. apprehension nd bravery. love nd loss. neuroses nd calm. The perfect balance of everything in my opinion. I was feeling emotions with both characters thruout the entirety of this journey. Laughing out loud at some parts nd cheering them on in others. I even teared up near the end. this would make a helluva movie - but then again, maybe not. Wouldn't wanna ruin the fantasy.

Tough Listen

Reviewed: 2019-11-02

this one was hard to listen to. I love the Aussie accent but I struggled with understanding quite a few of the ppl in this particular podcast. As a result, I wasn't as emotionally invested as I normally get. Add to that that we came full circle without any real conclusion nd overall, I was disappointed.
