Historia
When you walk out of a cult with a driving license and the clothes on your back, you can face some challenges. How does a cooker work, and what do you cook on it? Is microwave pizza actually food, and how many times can you eat sausages before you never want to smell them again? And what do people put in all those bathroom drawers?

Great Story meets Great Performance
Revisado: 09-16-22
Rosalind has written a wonderful story that delves into more than just a typical romance (which is a totally Rosalind thing to do). How do you fit into the outside world after leaving a cult but you still hold with some of the beliefs that you have followed all your life? How do you embrace your freedom, your new world, meet the expectations of those who love you, and still stay true to who you want to be?These are a few of the feelings that Rosalind manages to explore while telling the gentle love story of Gabriel and Oriana.
The story is wonderfully brought to life by Emma Wilder (who never disappoints) and Calum Gittins (who nails it in my opinion). This audible version of Kiwi Sin was truly enjoyable and should not be missed. I highly recommend it.

Historia
Rescuing a woman dressed in a nightdress at a costume ball? That worked for me. And holding her up against the wall, to shield her from the cops, was pure enjoyment. Driving with her to a barbecue, a fruit salad in my lap, and her twins - her girl twins - in the back seat? Out of my comfort zone. And that was before she started asking me for dating lessons, and wondering how to explain that she couldn’t have sex before marriage. I had it under control, though. I was coping. Until four sisters of mine decided to go looking for their sperm donor.

Another Great Combination of Story & Performance
Revisado: 04-15-22
Rosalind James has never disappointed me with her stories and this is no exception. This story of Laila and Lachlan contains all the elements I look forward ti in Rosalind's books: importance of family love, good friends, humor, romance, and some spice. Emma Wilder and Tom Janson do a great job of bringing the story to life. As much as I enjoy the story, I equally enjoy the way Emma and Tom brought the story to life. I totally recommend picking up this book.

Historia
Luka Darkovic has some tackling skills. He hadn’t planned on using them to bring down a runaway dog the size of a Shetland pony, especially not when his neck is already buggered. At 33, a rugby forward protects his vertebrae.... He’s even less happy when the dog’s incompetent owner turns up in his hospital cubicle the next day with a plan to fix those vertebrae. He prefers his life simple and his neurosurgeons drama-free. And definitely less distracting.

Another Great Love Story!
Revisado: 09-20-21
Just One Look is a great addition to the Escape to New Zealand series. I have often described Rosalind’s books as including more than just romantic love between two people but also love of families, extended families, and friends. While Just One Look touches on those other forms of love, this is clearly the story of two people who find love when they least expect it but need it the most. Elizabeth and Luka’s story, beautifully brought to life by Emma Wilder, is emotional, touching, humorous, and, at times, very spicy. You also get to catch up with some characters from other Escape to New Zealand series. I highly recommend this book and believe it deserves more than Just One Look and I am awed by the combined talents of Rosalind and Emma.

Historia
When discipline is your life, structure’s a good thing, and Owen Johnson’s got plenty of both. An All-Pro NFL center who’s also a cattle rancher? Yeah, that’s structure. His marriage didn’t work out, but then, he picked the wrong woman. A Wyoming ranch doesn’t look nearly as romantic up close. Not to a model, anyway. Next time, he’ll choose better. Not, for example, a 19-year-old ball of fire like Dyma Cardello, who’s just starting on her own journey. To become an astronautical engineer. After about five years of schooling. Which she’s focused on like, well, a rocket.

Another Not to be Missed Experience
Revisado: 06-12-21
The combination of RosaIind James and Emma Wilder continues to amaze and delight me. Despite not being sure what to expect from a story about a 19 year old college freshman and a 26 year old NFL player, I should not have worried because Rosalind can handle it all. And Emma certainly was wonderfully able to bring it all to life.
As with every Rosalind James story, this is more than just a romance. Devil in Disguise touches on so many types of love and relationships: romantic; parental; sibling; and even that love between good friends. While reading this book I experienced happiness, excitement, sadness, angst, anger, and joy and probably a few more emotions too. While listening to Shame the Devil (Portland Devils book 3) before reading Devil in Disguise isn’t absolutely necessary, you will enjoy the story more if you do. I highly recommend listening to Devil in Disguise.

Historia
Harlan Kristiansen may not be good at many things, but he can sure catch a pass. He’s an All-Pro at charming a room, too, and then there’s that Norse God thing. He can even figure out how to tackle a woman and save her from a charging bison. On skis. What happens when you drop that game-winning pass, though, and your house is too big, too weird, and too empty? When your dad’s a mean drunk, your mom took off a long time ago and stayed gone, and all your money can’t keep your little sister safe? You fall back on what you know, that’s what.

This Pair Never Disappoints
Revisado: 02-14-21
I have said this before and hopefully I be able to say this again: the combination of Rosalind James' stories and Emma Wilder' performance is wonderfully awesome and entertaining. I will leave it to others to describe the story except to say that once again Rosalind has provided more than just a romantic love story but a story that includes the many aspects of love that comes with family, friends, and just living life. That's not to say there aren't some very spicy scenes included. Combined with Emma's vocal performance, which never ceases to impress me, this was a perfect pairing of talents to keep you enthralled. You will definitely not want to put this book on pause.
I highly recommend experiencing this performance of Shame the Devil,

Historia
People who say “love is trust” probably didn’t grow up in a cult. My name is Daisy Nabhitha Kittredge. I chose it myself. As an RN in the emergency department in one of New Zealand’s largest hospitals, there wasn’t much left in me of the 16-year-old girl, covered from neck to ankle and not allowed to make eye contact with a boy, who’d run away with five dollars in her pocket and terror in her heart.

So Much More Than A Romance - Not To Be Missed
Revisado: 08-26-20
My best and favorite description of Rosalind James' stories is that they are not just love stories but life stories. And Kiwi Strong is no exception to that. Kiwi Strong is an emotional ride featuring a cast of strong women and men. While the story focuses on Daisy and Gray - the supporting cast are just wonderful. And they are all brought to life by the exceptional vocal talents of Emma Watson and Tom Janson. Although the steam doesn't rise in this book as early as some other of Rosalind's books - the heat does rise in this story. This story and performance are not to be missed!

State of my professional life: Brilliant, if counted in terms of sales of eight Poppy Cantwell children's books starring my often-confused blue hippo, Hazel; the very substantial proceeds from selling my Kiwi Adventures New Zealand glamping business; and any number of glossy magazine articles about my charmed existence. Of course, I couldn't seem to write or draw anymore, but that would pass. Surely.

Awesome Combination of Story and Story Telling
Revisado: 05-13-20
It is no great secret that I am a big fan of Rosalind James' stories and this story only adds to my fandom. Stone Cold Kiwi grabs you in the first chapters and keeps you enthralled. Once again Rosalind weaves a tale that is more than just a romance as it contains shining examples of parental love shown through Koru and Poppy. However some steamy scenes are included. And I love that we get to meet some of my favorite characters from the Not Quite a Billionaire series.
I will say that in the beginning I enjoyed Emma Wilder's narrations better that Tom Janson's but by the end I was appreciating both. I highly recommend this audible - it's so very entertaining and not to be missed.

Historia
Christmas means summer in New Zealand and All Blacks wedding season, too. Plans made and plans changed, because no matter how well you plan, life happens. Especially if, say, you’re marrying your late husband’s brother, you’ve got a couple of kids in the mix, and everybody’s talked too much about all that already. And then, there’s the rest of the family. A stepbrother who’s carried too big a secret for 30 years and needs to lay that burden down.

Another Winner for Rosalind & Emma
Revisado: 03-01-20
This is another wonderful pairing of an amazing story and vocal talent. Emma Wilder brings to life Rosalind James' characters and what characters they are. While knowing the stories Just Come Over and Just Say Hell No is not mandatory before getting Just Say Christmas, it will add to your enjoyment of the story. This story is full of heartwarming moments of parental love, familiar love, young love, and what truly makes and defines a family as well as those steamy scenes that Rosalind does so well. In Just Say Christmas we get to follow Marko and Nyree and Rhys and Zora as well as several of the secondary characters who really needed their stories told. It is a must addition to any Escape to New Zealand collection.

You don’t find many too-pretty rich boys in the New Zealand Defense Force. Turns out there’s a reason for that. Fortunately, you can find your true self in the oddest places. Of course, you can lose yourself in those places, too - at least some pieces of you. Since I was back home with a new leg, some facial alterations, and time on my hands, I might as well help out my sister. Showing a buyer around New Zealand’s ecotourism sites, having a few adrenaline-fueled adventures? Fine. It wasn’t like I’d never been camping, unlike the walking tornado that was Miss Karen Sinclair.

Another Winning Story with Great Performances
Revisado: 07-20-19
I have really enjoyed Rosalind's books and Emma's performances. However with this audible we get a bonus with John Hartley's performance. When I first read Kiwi Rules I thought that it was almost like reading Karen and Jax's journals, now i feel like they were read to me. That feeling was reinforced by the two voices. It took a little while to get use to but I do think they complemented each other and really augmented the experience.
While this is a stand alone novel - if you have read the Not Quite a Billionaire series you get reacquainted Karen and also visit with Hope and Hemi. And you get to meet Jax - another awesome Rosalind character. Once again Rosalind exceeds all expectations and this story goes deeper than just a romance. This is such a wonderful heartfelt story of overcoming obstacles, having adventures, testing limits, and finding love. Be warned that this story has some very, very steamy scenes.
It is such a good story that my only complaint is that it was over too soon.

Rhys Fletcher is not in love with his sister-in-law. That would be a very, very bad idea, and he doesn’t entertain bad ideas. He also doesn’t lie to himself. Both of those things can’t be true, so he’ll do what he’s done since the long-ago night when his brother, Dylan, turned up in an Auckland bar after a brutal rugby match between their two teams, and introduced his new girlfriend - a dark-eyed, much-too-young girl named Zora. He’ll lie. Now, his brother’s gone, and Rhys is back in New Zealand and settling into his new job as the head coach of the Auckland Blues

Revisado: 03-21-19
I really enjoyed this pairing of Rosalind James' story and Emma Wilder's performance. The story of Rhys and Zora is full of humor, passion, love, and redefines what a family is really made up of. Emma's vocal characterizations bring to life all the wonderful players. As a plus you get to re-visit some of the other people you have met in previous Escape to New Zealand books. As usual there are some very spicy scenes so be ready to need a fan.
So get a glass of wine, a fan, and settle down to be greatly entertained with this passionate yet heartwarming story.
