This was a decent read, fairly predictable plot but still good, on the fantasy side wherein the small town girl catches the eye of a mega movie star. Some fun sub characters in said small town, steamy love scenes, great narration from Sebastian York and Andi Arndt made this worth my time.

Started out well enough but got very repetitive once Aunt Flo showed up. Wow did I get tired of her fast. Not a lot happens in this story and it went Started out well enough but got very repetitive once Aunt Flo showed up. Wow did I get tired of her fast. Not a lot happens in this story and it went in circles with pages of repetitive dialogue and zero outcome then you'd get some Robyn Carr magic to carry you through. This must be an early book of hers....more

Its ultimately a sweet MC story. Still I enjoyed this, way more than expected. The author is Australian so there are some Aussie words strewn about. I wish the narration via Audible hadn't been with an American accent that would have made this stand out more. ...more

That and the fact that back in the day I loved the entire Tall, Dark and Dangerous series.
TD&D 13 was a huge letdown, involving so much eye rolling and 'that's stupid get on with it' comments to myself that I almost bailed. The story was just childish, it felt like I was reading YA, highschool melodrama involving Navy SEALS, very silly. The plot was uninteresting having our (teen) sweethearts stuck in a bomb shelter for most of the story, eating peanuts, making clothes and having very immature conversations about their relationship, one of which took place in the midst of making love.
Also be warned I listened to this on audible and while the two men reading are great (especially, Dion Graham) the woman narrator is one of the worst I've ever heard. She may have even been computer generated. Just terrible....more

A great virtual vacation to the streets and cafes of Paris where our transplanted American finds love again with her British translator. Interesting back stories to the characters in particular the hero, his brother and the bucket list and her job creating perfumes. I felt like I'd been on vacation after reading this feel good/escapism romance. Oh and the fact that we get the seductive voice of Richard Armitage as our hero.. yeah...more
