Publisher's Summary:

Winnie spent years in law school and has been living on a law clerk's meager salary - the only job she could find - while her older stepbrother, Upton, makes six-figures a year writing trashy romance novels under a female pen name for the masses.

Not that she begrudges him - they might be step-siblings but they've always been more like best friends. Upton considers Winnie his muse, so when he calls with terrible writer's block, desperately begging her to come up to the summer house where he's trying to meet his deadline, Winnie relents. The truth is, while she makes fun of his profession, she secretly devours all of his novels.

As Winnie tries to help Upton with his work, she finds that with every barrier they break down, they grow closer to a truth they've both been trying to hide from one another. Because while her stepbrother might want her as a muse, that isn't all he wants. And Winnie realizes, she wants him, too - more than she's ever let herself admit. Until now.

Members Reviews:

Two Souls Seeking Love

What did you love best about Under the Sun?

The friendship and eventual love that developed between Jackson and Tracey

Which scene was your favorite?

The first time Tracey and Jackson were intimate

Any additional comments?

The characters were well developed and it was a sweet, touching tale of two people whose happiness was long overdue. Jackson put his life on hold after the death of his fiance and their baby. Tracey put her happiness on the back burner to care for her dying grandmother. It just goes to show that good things happen to good people.....

Short and Sweet!

Novellas a tricky, always want to make sure the plot and characters are well developed. Jude Ouvrard has given us both with this short romance. There is a lot packed into this story, I could relate to the Alzheimer's grandmother and taking care of her. The portrayal of this is very realistic with the emotional journey it takes you on. Tracey is now at the beach, giving herself time after her grandmother dies, when her next door neighbor Jackson comes into her life. Their story of how they come together and heal each other is warm and affectionate. I love these two, Jackson has a way that makes you feel his love and Tracey has so much to give and is willing to move her life forward. Together they are sweet and loving. I especially loved the tie the two found with Tracey's grandmother and her muffins..who knew muffins could bring love?

Ann Bumbak gives a wonderful portrayal of this story. She is perfect for a short romance with the warmth in her voice that gives you that heartfelt feeling.

A short story that's complete and satisfying

Not only was this the love story of Tracey and Jackson, it was also a tribute to people now dead that significantly impacted both their lives.

The melancholy Tracey meets Jackson soon after her grandmother has passed away. While it's a case of instant attraction, we get to see them building a relationship and working towards their HEA over a longer period of time.

I was pleasantly surprised at how complete this story was given its short length. The story is tight and well paced and includes a cast of secondary characters that enhance, rather than detract the story.

Ann Bumbak accurately portrays the emotions of the characters. A couple of times, I felt the narration to drag but speeding it up made the book sound strange.

ONE CLICHÉ AFTER ANOTHER

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

First, my normal apology because it's very difficult to execute a good story that reads in under 2 hours. Now, all I can say about "Under The Sun" is that, IMHO, it's stale and cliché-ridden. Although well written, the dialogs and situations are unoriginal. I'd like to continue to review Ouvrard's work and discover that her books are normally better.

Ann Bumbak's narration was somewhat uncomfortable.

Publisher's Summary:

Owen is a born hunter, like his father before him, and would rather spend his time in the woods than anywhere else. He doesn't have much in common with his banker stepfather, who keeps telling Owen he'll get him a job he doesn't want. He doesn't really have a lot in common with his little stepsister, Annie, either - except they both go to the same university and she seems to go out of her way to tease her stepbrother mercilessly in front of her silly, stuck-up friends.

But the truth is, Owen has a thing for Annie. He knows it's wrong but he can't help looking at the lithe, little blonde track star when she prances around wearing practically nothing. Annie is a tease in more ways than one and Owen has no choice but to endure it - until the day Annie catches him out in the woods fantasizing aloud about his stepsister.

An embarrassed Owen proposes a competition when Annie teases him and threatens blackmail. Never one to refuse a challenge, Annie steps up, and the two of them go out hunting - each other. Owen, the consummate outdoorsman, sets out to find his prey, knowing that whoever comes out on top, they'll both end up getting exactly what they want.

Members Reviews:

Sizzling hot!

Owen and Annie despise each other or do they. They made a bet and lay all the cards on the table. Very very sizzling hot encounter between them and their true feeling relieved finally. I recommend reading this book.

Members Reviews:

Voice of the heart

This was a truly good story. Narration was great. A very good book and look forward to reading more.

Very disappointed with nararrator

I really enjoy Johanna Lyndsay books normally as it's very easy listening. However the person reading this book was very disappointing. The tone and lack of difference in the various characters was shocking. Compared to previous lyndsay books it was dire.

Disappointing

What disappointed you about Voice of the Heart?

The story was not the page-turner I was expecting; it was boring and despite persisting, I still gave up half way through. I couldn't care about the characters and the narrator's voice was not easy to listen to. Not a great combination if the story doesn't grip you either.

Amazing!

Loved this book, didn't want it to end. Well narrated too. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys family sagas.

this book title was a surprise, highly enjoyable

I have listen and red a lot of Barbara Taylor Bradford books. this one was a surprise and there was not sure about it, or whither I would like it. well I liked it enough I listen to it 3 times. it can maybe hard to follow but stick with it it's worth it if not a bit sad at time . audible recommended it. I love the people do they use to read the stories to you it's like having a book read out to you when you were a child.

Titolo: Tutte le ragazze con una certa cultura hanno almeno un poster di un quadro di Schiele appeso in camera

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 3 hrs and 15 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Categoria: Romance, Contemporary

Riepilogo Editore:

Luca ha 30 anni, è un assistente universitario, corregge bozze e crede nell'amore, anche se le sue relazioni non sono mai entusiasmanti.

È cresciuto guardando "Bim Bum Bam", va in giro su una Fiat 500L del '71 e pensa che i quadri di Pollock siano il risultato dello starnuto di un pittore sbronzo pestato a sangue davanti a una tela bianca.

Una sera conosce Silvia, con la quale fa subito sesso. Lei ostenta disincanto e cinismo ma, in fondo, ha solo una paura tremenda: apparire normale. Inaspettatamente, se la ritrova davanti all'università: Luca vorrebbe riavvicinarla, ma Silvia non sembra interessata. All'esame, per vendicarsi, le rifila un 29, "il più insignificante tra i voti alti". Segue una specie di aggressione da parte della ragazza, che culmina in uno scambio di baci. Così inizia la loro storia, angosciante come le carni livide di Schiele o esplosiva e policroma come i rapidi colpi di spatola di Monet. Ciclotimici sì, ma anche meravigliosamente normali.

Una brillantissima epopea sentimentale contemporanea tratta dalla fortunata serie web "Tutte le ragazze con una certa cultura". Un viaggio divertito e dissacrante nelle inquietudini di una generazione perduta tra aperitivi, mostre d'arte ed etichette come "radical chic", "new normal", "hygge" e "hipster". Una coppia che si tormenta e si compiace di tormentarsi. Un amore che precipita nel vuoto cosmico di una generazione disillusa, ma sempre molto ironica. E, in quel vuoto, risuona l'eco dei miti del passato con cui si racconta.

Publisher's Summary:

There is nothing for it - we will have to marry for money! The Strathcarrons have lived in splendour in Lednock Castle in Scotland for many generations, but the family fall on hard times when their fortunes become depleted. An American guest, Larry Harwood, comes to stay and persuades the Earl of Strathcarron to travel to New York with him to make his fortune, leaving his wife, his son, Ewen and daughter, Moira, to the mercies of fate. Six months later the Earl returns a broken man, having lost the entire estate to the American's creditors.

Ewen and Moira hatch a desperate plan to save the castle and their very inheritance from the clutches of the American bank. They realise that their only recourse is to make good marriages into wealthy families with the hope that they can bail out their father. They head for London, and its glittering social scene with the express purpose of not returning to Scotland until they have both found suitable spouses.

But things do not go to plan when Moira meets handsome Stuart Weston again and in spite of her promise to her brother, she finds herself falling in love with him. Torn between her loyalty to her family and her heart's desire, will Moira ever find true happiness or will she be forced into a loveless marriage of convenience?

Members Reviews:

Is this really a Barbara Cartland novel?

While this novel has a fairly interesting plot typical of the average Barbara cartland novel, I find it very badly written and amateurish, something like the garbage I churned out when I first started writing myself, and now burn with embarrassment when I consider that I had the nerve to send to an editor.

Well Done

What a solid short story. Rose knocked this one out of the park. Overall, I enjoyed this performance.

Great!

I really enjoyed this fast-paced novella. Interesting story and great narration! Highly recommend this audio!

Very entertaining and enjoyable

Short sweet and to the point no fillers, a good listen that holds your interest. Fast pace action and excitement. The only problem I have is not enough information was given about (how do I say this without giving the story awayhummm) who wanted something and was willing to kill to get it. How did she learn about this, is she in some group, was that the reason she married who she married? So many questions with no answers leaving a big gap. It was a great listen that I really did enjoy.

Ms. OToole narration was great, her character voices were good, her tones and emotions were great. You know who is talking and what they are feeling. Character voices were very pleasant, males sound manly. I thought her performance was great. No background noises, no volume changes, if any breaks were taken I could not tell. Her voice blends very well with the different characters and emotions. I could really hear the pain, uneasiness and sorrow as well as pleasure and hope in the character voices. I really enjoyed her natural voice it is very pleasant to listen to. She gives a highly entertaining listen.

The author puts a few twists and some surprises in the plot that keeps the story interesting. You pretty much know what is coming but it is still surprising. As I stated above a little more information is needed to fill in the blankets but beside that it was a very good story that I feel most will enjoy.

Good story

This was a good story but too short. Which, in my opinion, prevented me from being absorbed into it. The potential was there for a great suspense novel, but I didn't connect well with the characters. I've read other works by this author, and while most of her stories are short, it seems to work well for the genre. I felt this one could have been better if a little more time had been spent setting up the plot. It was still good though, and I would recommend the read. I wasn't impressed with the narrator in this one. In my opinion, she seemed a bit melodramatic and lacked a suspenseful tone.

This was an okay story.

This is the second story I've listened to by Mrs. Brower and needless to say, she's got my attention. While I wouldn't say there was really anything original (concept) in the story, it held my attention.

Narrator: I wasn't so much a fan of this narrator.

Publisher's Summary:

Lady Elvina, theal and in love. Any day now Captain Andreaw Broadmoor would propose to her. But then she overheard him saying that he did not love her and would only marry her for her money. Elvina fled, travelling to Cumberland, where she had heard that the Duke of Castleforde was looking for a governess for his unruly sister, Violet.

Concealing her true identity, she presented herself as plain Mrs. Winters and in Violet, Elvina found a troubled, rebellious young girl who needed her help. She began to grow close to the Duke, but as their love flowered she realized that his duty to his great house came first. And that duty forbade him to marry a mere governess.

It would have been simple to tell him the truth that she was the daughter of an Earl, but pride prevented her. If he would not marry her for herself alone, then she would have none of him. How they resolved their problems and found their way to Heaven is all told in this compelling romantic novel by BARBARA CARTLAND. If you like "Downton Abbey" you will love Barbara Cartland.

They Found Their Way to Heaven is a good book.

I enjoyed reading this book. The suspense about Elvina running away and if she would get the position was not in the least suspenseful. But the ending was very different from Barbara Cartland's usual endings.
