Disappointing book...
I have to agree it is very difficult to finish this book. First the narrator is horrible and the quality of the sound is awful...it is a shame AUDIBLE. You have a reputation and a brand to keep, it is not about the money people pay to listen. Even for free, you should take it out and make it right!
I loved Ruth Cardello's book Lone Star Series and then I started to search for other books but this one was a disappointment...
The story was simple and the heroine annoying at times (very shallow and with a weak back bone).
I do not know if she improved with time but I might give her another chance. Andrade's series not so sure...
Okay
I was going to give this book a 4 star until Juliette moved in with Geo. It was like all her strength as a character just left. I felt like the plot needed some work. It takes about a day to get from New York to Europe but the author made it seem like a few hours. How did Julie get home from Venice. It's not a cheep flight for a women who was supposed to be broke. I liked Julie. I thought she was refreshing but the author made Geo too mean for too long in the book. The sex scenes felt rushed and not too sexy. This book needed to be longer in order for the writer to take her time with character and plot development. The book felt too rushed.
Good book
I enjoyed this book very much. As usual Ruth Cardello has written a story that captivated me. Gino and Julia start off their relationship with a bump on his head and as the story progresses are involved in a very bumpy ride.
But of course, as is true of the majority of romance literature, there is a happy ending.
I loved the way Gio had difficulty believing he had done anything wrong whenever he upset Julia. He had a lot to overcome in that department, but in others he was superb. And he was very romantic, sometimes to the extreme, but I'm not complaining - it made good reading.
Julia is not a dumb bimbo by any means. She comes across as responsible, caring, level headed and very lovable and has a great sense of humour.
The narrator, Kim Thompson, did a good job.
I just have a complaint with the quality of the recording as the constant buzz in the background was very annoying.
come away with me, even better
I really enjoyed reading this book but now listening to it made the experience double. I love how this narrator read it. Her tone matched each emotion exactly as I read it myself.
I really liked the story, not the narration
Would you try another book from Ruth Cardello and/or Kim Thompson?
Billionaire falls for regular girl. I loved it!
I will definitely try another book by Ruth Cardello. This story was a break from the heavy angst and dark books I had been reading. However, I don't think I will listen to another book read by Kim Thompson. The narration sounded like it was done in the reader's basement. There was humming in the background.
