nice and light

Revisado: 02-01-21

Light regency romance - a nice escape book. The description says “hilarious events” - yeah, not so much. However, it was a charming book and the narration was good.

I received a promotional code for this book.

still good...

Revisado: 02-01-21

I really do like these time traveling taxman books. The main character is so very human and just like so many people you meet in real life. Narration was good; very suited to the story and character.

I received a promotional code for this book.

paranormal aspect is good

Revisado: 02-01-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I am sorry to say that I listened to this a while ago and forgot to leave a review. I liked the paranormal aspect of it - very well done. I don’t think the cover (beefcake cop) suits the story. I don’t remember the details fo the narration - which probably means it was good!

I received a promotional code for this book.

entertaining

Revisado: 02-01-21

I listened to The Forever Sleep in one session (it’s a short story). Very engaging. The narration was fine and the story spun out its backstory in a good way. Although a somewhat heavy handed commentary on online device use, it was a good listen and I recommend it.

I received a promotional code for this story.

thoroughly enjoyable

Revisado: 10-12-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This was a good one. I am a fan of the narrator Helen Taylor (and, in the interest of full disclosure we have met in person and I like her) and she never disappoints.

I don't know exactly when this book is set but it sounds like the 50s or 60s. There is a curmudgeonly professor and an independent business woman ... and it works.

I got a promotional credit for this book (I think).

Another good one

Revisado: 10-12-20

Have listened to the 2 prior books in the series and this one was definitely better than number 2 (IMHO) - good series.

pleasant regency romance

Revisado: 10-12-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This was a nice regency romance and one of the best duet narrations I have heard. The book itself had a few too many (IMHO) modern takes on issues such as women's rights/independence, child abuse, etc - yes, I know those things all existed but the take on them by all the main characters was more modern than period.

Romance was nicely developed and characters were engaging.

Good - enjoyed it

Revisado: 07-19-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This was a cute story, well-narrated. Masie is trying to escape her tabloid past but it keeps following her as she tries to become a private investigator by apprenticing to a private investigator in her old home town. Her Hollywood (shallow?) life has given her a real knowledge of clothing designers and cutsie expressions - both of which she uses a lot (perhaps just a bit too much for my taste, but not a big deal). The pronunciation of Julio with a J really threw me but eventually I picked up that he was Italian so assume the Italian pronounce it with a J rather than the Y sound of Spanish. The mystery was good and the characters interesting. A good listen all in all but not, to be honest, riveting. I received a promotional code for this book.

All around good book

Revisado: 04-27-20

Narration was good, plot was good, characters believable. The premise was incredible (she talks to dead people) but done very well - including the converting of the skeptic.

I may have received a this book via a promotional credit ... can't remember.

Oddly likeable main character

Revisado: 04-16-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The main character is an egotistical jerk for at least the first third of the book. And yet, you like him, or ... at least want to see what happens to him ,,,for which I give a lot of credit to the writer. Takes talent to do that. Great and believable character growth for him.

Mixed review of the narrator: for the main character - just great. As the narrator voice, he was a bit over the top for my tastes. Unfortunately, there were also several mispronunciations (usually misplaced syllable stress) that were distracting.

I used a promotional code and received this audiobook at no cost to me.
