Be True to Yourself

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

As I listened to this story, I kept nodding my head as I listened to Alida's experiences working at a large corporation. Falling into a job...getting promoted repeatedly but feeling like a fake on the job...stress, anxiety and sleepless nights... Yeah, been there, done that! Either Ms. Lumas was channeling my life, or she's done her research about what it's like to be an artist in a non-artistic environment. Happily, Alida has the courage to make the break with corporate life, and she finds she can be herself and be valued for who she truly is.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Alida's Way?

The conversation with her mother when Alida announces she's going to make a living as an artist is almost IDENTICAL to the conversation I had with MY mother under similar circumstances.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

This is read by the author, and her delivery is just not as smooth as a professional narrator.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Trying to avoid spoilers here... Alida's reaction after the scene on the rock took me by surprise. Was it added to fulfill the "boy loses girl" stage of the classic romance plot?

Any additional comments?

Despite a few flaws, I enjoyed this book, perhaps because it rang so true to (my) life. I was rooting for the lovers and rejoiced in their HEA. It's worth listening again.

Relatable Main Character

At first, I really identified with this character. She is an artist working in the business world so she can afford to pay her bills and have a decent life. I enjoyed that aspect of the book and she decision to leave the corporate world. Where this fell a little short for me was in the language. The dialogue between characters and the self-talk didn't seem very natural. Had this had natural language and dialogue, I think I would have enjoyed it more.

I do like when author's narrate their own books. It gives a better idea what tone the author really wants for the book.

Publisher's Summary:

Exactly who was the mysterious stranger who caught Joanna's eye and instantly had such an incredible effect upon her senses? On holiday with her twin brother Paul, she was minding her own business, sipping an iced drink in the lovely old town of St. Malo, when the impertinent blue stare of a rather disreputable looking busker totally unnerved Joanna. She tried to flee from him, but fate decreed they should meet again, in circumstances where she felt forced into giving him aid.

Within days, Jake had won her love, but Joanna was soon to discover the awful truth. Her penniless drifter had deliberately lied, cruelly deceiving her as to his real identity. Angry and hurt, Joanna vowed revenge.

Members Reviews:

Jake made the story Joanna was childlike

Any additional comments?

This was an interesting listen of a woman who had been hurt in the worse way from the man she thought she loved. She moves on never going to make that mistake again. I wouldnt say she is a snob even though she does come across as one from time to time. I even understand why she thinks the way she does for the most part. There is nothing worse than being used by another person getting what you want and throwing you to the side.

Ms. Phillips narration was wonderful. I just love her accent as I got lost in the story her voice adds so much to the listen. This is the second audio I have listen of hers I love her character voices you have no trouble knowing who is talking or it is male or female. She gives such wonderful emotion to her voice you are never left guessing to what each are feeling. There was no background noise or any place where the volume was higher or lower than any other place in the audio. Ms. Phillips gives you a very clear, clean audio that pulls you in. I could picture the ocean as it comes in and out as the narrator voice takes you away from one scene to the next you picture each one in your mind. I cant wait to listen to more from this narrator her voice is so pleasant you forget you are listening.

The author gives you a nice story of pain, hurt and sorrow along with secrets he is hiding. Once these comes out can Joanna forgive Jake or will she make him pay? Will she take her revenge or will it back fire on her? I had no trouble feeling the pull between Jack and Joanna from their first eye contact the author and narrator really pull you in. I loved Jack from the start but I do feel I would have felt the same as Joanna did from the start. Joanna I had a love hate relationship with at time she was very likable and other times she just seem so childlike. I thought she over reacted when her brother tried to help her from being hurt. She was an adult and made her own choice but she blamed him because she was to hot head to think things through. At time I like her but at the end I didnt care for her at all.

This was a good story with a great plot it is believable I have no trouble seeing something like this happening. For me this isnt the best work of this author I have read others I enjoyed more but it still was a good story. The author gives some great touching scenes that does hook you. She did throw me at the end with the Christian part since that wasnt anywhere else in the story. It sure isnt your typical one but adds to the read.

Sweet Story

I got this book via audiobook boom.com. This is Jake and Joanna's love story. It is filled with things that are slightly unbelievable.

Book Review of The Beauty in the Beast by Regina Puckett

This is a beautiful and touching story about how people are different in the ways they deal with pain, especially childhood pain, inflicted by parents or those who are supposed to give love. The two protagonists come from very painful childhood experiences: Holly, from hate and rejection, and Dr. Knight, from frustration and abuse, both by parents who should have shown them love. But each dealt with their past differently; Holly, with the determination not to allow her past to determine her future, and Dr. Knight, determined to allow his past to control his life, to the point of looking at life and living life with mistrust.

This book is very well written, grammatically correct. The only problem I found is with the formatting which was very poorly done, giving the impression that the author did not make use of professional formatting. Otherwise, this is a very enticing and interesting story.

Liked

This is a very short story that includes two main encounters between the main characters, Alec and Holly. Holly was really sweet. Despite Alec's behavior toward her, especially in a room full of other students, she continuously saw the good in him. Very few people would be able to see that. At the end of their first encounter, Holly finally stands up for herself and her choice of words was just right. Her encouragement to Alec at the end of the second encounter was beautiful, although it seemed a little unrealistic since they have just learned about each other.

I liked Alec's personality. We are able to see how he just can't keep himself from saying the stuff that he does to Holly. It makes him seem more realistic since not everyone in the world is like Holly. There was one thing that seemed a little iffy to me. In the first encounter, the stuff that he says to Holly is not only cruel, but not something that would go unnoticed at a university setting.

For some reason, a lot of the more contemporary stories that are similar to the Beauty and the Beast, tend to make the Beast like character a little too beastly than needed. I say this because this story reminded me of the Belle and the Beast, a Hallmark Christian Romance. In this movie, the male depicted as the beast, goes extremely angry one second and then calms down immediately the next second. Although Alec doesn't do the screaming and yelling, there was some similarity between the two. This story was definitely better than that movie but I couldn't stop myself from making the comparison.

All in all, I liked it! The plot was different and nicely organized. The story ends a little too quickly but it does become sweet when Alec's feelings are revealed. It was especially nice to relax and read for the current cold weather.

Needed more...

This story had potential, but it ultimately fell flat to me.

Rose

My dad is Miller Duffy of the Duffy Gang. He's my hero, but he's got real problems with Marines. Well, that's going to have to change. Especially now that Ian Cazio is back in town. He's not just sinfully handsome, he's kind and caring and he wants me. Should I give it to him? This could be risky.

Ian

The whole Duffy clan is no good. When I ended up stationed near my home town, the last thing I wanted was to run into them again. What I didn't realize is that old Miller Duffy has a daughter, and she is something else. Beautiful, strong, and curvy. What I'd do to make her my own.

Members Reviews:

Enjoyed.

I enjoyed this military romance story. Rose and Ian are great characters with a good story. The drama was interesting and the conflict good, this story kept my attention until the end.
