Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,308
On a hot July afternoon, a worker at an Antietam Creek construction site drives the blade of his backhoe into a layer of soil - and strikes a 5,000-year-old human skull. The discovery draws plenty of attention and a lot of controversy. It also changes the life of one woman in ways she never expected.

Good story. Terrible narrator.
Reviewed: 06-24-24
The story is pretty interesting but I just can’t get past the narrator. Can’t distinguish between male and female characters, most of them sound so strained. As bad as it gets. Couldn’t finish.

My body, broken beyond repair. The boy I’d thought was my forever. The life I’d always dreamt of. Now, Holt’s back. And he’s no longer a boy, but a man with shadows in his eyes and demons haunting him. He says he’s here to make things right. To get back a little bit of all we’ve lost. And he doesn’t show any signs of leaving the small town that has been my refuge. As stolen moments turn to days, Holt’s around every corner.

Too repetitive
Reviewed: 04-01-23
I liked the story but really, how many times do we need to hear both of them doubting themselves, thinking the other one won’t want to stay, etc. it made me want to skip forward too often after about the middle of the book. Narrators fantastic as usual for these two.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11,671
Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions - grief, loss, and anger - that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.

Had such a hard time getting past the narrator
Reviewed: 06-24-20
I liked the story but had such a difficult time with one of the narrators. Even if her accent changed through the years of living elsewhere there is NO way someone who spent at least the first 20 years of her life with her sister KIT would change the way her name is pronounced to KUT. There's gotta be some kind of supervision to the recordings, just the same as there is an editor for the written part.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16,902
It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

Fast paced and engaging
Reviewed: 08-06-18
This is a standalone mature Roberts book, more complex and with grittier story lines and eclectic characters. Darker than her usual although still maintaining the romantic aspects that are her standard. Nora Roberts can tell a story, and this one is fast paced and has a number of twists and turns hat help to keep the reader's attention.
January LaVoy was very good, even though you couldn't always immediately distinguish who was talking her tone, pace and emotional narration were spot on.

Everybody knows Logan O'Toole, world famous porn star. Except then Devi Dare pops into my world, and pretty soon I'm doing things that aren't like me - like texting her with flirty banter and creating an entire web porn series just so I can get to star in her bed. Again. And again. With Devi, my entire universe shifts, and the more time I spend with her, the more I realize that Logan O'Toole isn't the guy I thought he was. So maybe I'm not the guy you thought I was either.

Not interesting
Reviewed: 04-11-17
This book wasn't bad, it was just dull and couldn't manage to keep my interest.
Jacob Morgan is solid, but the female narrator was all wrong; it remains a mystery how editors & publishers are ok with these narrations that are both robotic and over dramatic.

Hero's POV much better
Reviewed: 03-16-17
About a year ago I listened to "Breakable", the guy's POV of this same story and its successor although a standalone. I liked that one much, much better. It had more depth and less teen angst.
The narrator wasn't half bad but I had a very hard time getting past the fact she pronounced the main character's name as jack-well-in.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,673
I'm naturally gifted on the field and between the sheets. With flashy cars and enough media attention to put the royal family to shame, I'm the definition of most eligible bachelor. Every man wants to be me, and every woman wants to tame me. Until Camila. The moment I lay eyes on her, I know I have to have her. She wants to keep me at arm's length. I want her naked in my bed. She says I'm bad news. I have three weeks to prove her wrong.

Story was fine, nothing special, a little contrived and predictable.
I have to say Zachary Webber is really growing on me. It took me about 10 minutes to realize who he sounded like with this accent: Chris Hemsworth!

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wisecracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were 18? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

Thoroughly enjoyable listen
Reviewed: 03-11-17
This book was an endearing, low angst, hot and romantic. Authors managed to tell a beautiful love story while showing the very real and constant uncertainty and contempt gay people have to deal with every single day.
Both narrators were spectacular. Great voices, vulnerable, funny and honest. The dual POV was fantastic and I appreciated how they both sounded the right age.

The only thing in Colin Mulligan's life that makes sense is taking cars apart and putting them back together. In the auto shop where he works with his father and brothers, he tries to get through the day without having a panic attack or flying into a rage. Drinking helps. So does running and lifting weights until he can hardly stand. But none of it can change the fact that he's gay, a secret he has kept from everyone.

Distracting narration

The story is lovely, genuine and compelling.
The narrator, despite having a beautiful voice, breaks sentences down in the most irritating manner. Everything's so chopped it makes it very hard to keep the attention on the story.
