Critic Reviews:

"Gibson keeps the action light but dead-on delicious in Adele's and Zach's sizzling second chance at love." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Second chance love with a ghostly twist...

Not Another Bad Date is part of a series (Writers friends). Not all of the titles of the series are available as audiobook but this is the right order:

Sex, Lies, and Online Dating (Writer Friends 1)- not audiobook

I'm In No Mood For Love (Writer Friends 2)- not audiobook

Tangled Up In You (Writer Friends 3) Audiobook available

Not Another Bad Date (Writer Friends 4) Audiobook available

This book can be read as a stand alone but it's better to read in order so that you can enjoy catching up on the lives of the previous couples. This is just another great book by Rachel Gibson. Romantic, hot, funny! I just love a lost love story! Adele and Zach dated in college but Zach's ex-girlfriend tells him she's pregnant so he marries her and Adele is heartbroken. Fast forward 14 years and Zach's wife dies (there's a secondary story about the ghost of the ex-wife being on limbo, which happens to be Walmart and that's kind of weird). Adele and Zach find each other again and then the magic begins.

Narration: Nicole Poole did a very good job with this book. Great male voices and you could always tell the different characters apart. There was a bit of background noise but it didn't take away from the story. I enjoyed every minute of this listen :)

Very Good Contemporary Romance

Not Another Bad Date was a very good contemporary romance. Adele hasn't had much luck in the dating department for years, until she sees her ex-boyfriend Zack. But he hurt her in the past, so she is reluctant to fall in love with him again. However, the attraction is still there, so when these two get together, the sparks do fly. I liked the way their relationship develops slowly, and we really do get to know the characters. My one complaint is that the narrator's breath should have been edited out. After a while I did get used to it, but I would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been there. Otherwise, this was a very good, very easy going romance.

fun story, but....

it was typical, fluffy fun--enjoyable and light. However, I did have problems with the narration. I've listened to Nicole Poole in other audiobooks and really enjoyed her, so I blame the producer or director of this particular book. Every time she paused to take a breath, you hear the sharp inhale. It's really jarring, since it continues throughout the entire read. You should definitely listed to the sample and decide whether it's going to bother you.

Narrator gasps for breath.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I'm having a really hard time finishing the book due to the narrators inability to breathe quietly. At the end of nearly every sentence it's sounds as if she is taking a deep breath before going underwater.

loved this book

I just want to say that i really have enjoyed this story, it has really put me in the mood for Christmas and the true meaning. I hope you enjoy this as much as i have and as a side note this book is clean so my daughters can also hear this book they are young teens so they also like romance but i am needing them to be clean books

Heather

Kindness, Family, Christmas

I love this modern day tale of an unwed mother, with three older brothers, who want to "defend her honor". And I very much appreciate that real life Christians, when faced with a choice to love or condemn, chose to do what our Lord would do . . . what He DID do. This is a precious story of mistakes, love and redemption. And listeners who are put off by "Christian overtones", must have somehow missed the title, A Cedar Cove CHRISTMAS. There is no Christmas without Christ. And for those who have been hurt by the church, rest assured there is none of that in Debbie Macomber's books . . . so come to the stable where the Christ child lays and rest your weary soul. You will be glad you did.

What a disappointment

STORY - This sounded like it would be a fun holiday listen...a modern twist of the classic Christmas story written by a famous author. It's a novel idea that I think could have been so much better than it was. There are, of course, parallels between this story and the classic, i.e., Mary Jo for the Virgin Mary, the three Wyse brothers for the three wise men, but some of them are so far-fetched they should have just been left out. (Like seeing fireworks and saying, "Look, follow that star!") There is way too much detail that served no purpose but to drag things out. Some of the dialogue between the three brothers is so stupid and repetitive it made me want to SCREAM!!!!

On the positive side, the story is cozy and full of holiday cheer. I loved Mack, and the ending of the book is very touching.

PERFORMANCE - The narrator definitely gets an A for effort. This female narrator actually tries to distinguish between the three brothers' voices -- something which many male narrators don't even bother to do. It kinda works and kinda doesn't.

OVERALL -- I've never listened to a Debbie Macomber book before, so die-hard fans might like this story. My advice, however, is to skip it.

Heart felt.

Debbie writes so beautifully, with wonderful descriptions, so much heart felt & realistic.

You help me find things, people that I want & look forward to having in my life.

I enjoyed the narrater Sandra also.

Thank-you for the many hours of joy & good tears...

Chris G

Nice story, but...

Whenever the reader imitated male voices, she sounded like an Oompa Loompa. After a while it was annoying.

Members Reviews:

It was pleasant

I actually prefer the novels Kay writes about special senses used to solve crimes. This was fine it was well read and written, however it was a bit of a disappointment that it was simply a love story.

Disappointed

I've read Kay Hooper in the past and really enjoyed her books. I was disappointed with this one; it started with a promising story line and then just mired down with what felt like the same sappy lines over and over....the rest of the book made me want to skip to the end just to get it over with. To add insult to injury; the narrator used the most awful accents for the characters. Don't waste your credits or your time.

Don't bother

This was probably the most boring book I've ever "read". It's cheap and mercifully short, but not worth it.

Members Reviews:

Good Read

The narrator had a good tone and did the Italian, German, and English accents well. The plot line is good and I caught myself shedding a few tears while listening, really feeling for the girl. I will look for more books by this author/narrator.

Not a good listen

The narrator's accent was really, really, really bad, the story implausible. I wish I hadn't purchased.

Horrible!

This narrator ruined the whole story for me. Her attempt at an Italian accent was so terrible that it grated on my nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard. Her English accent wasn't even passable and let's just forget mentioning the Scots accent! This was not a pleasurable experience at all.

Beautiful Love Story!

I will READ more stories by this author (READ is the operative word). The story was beautiful and touching. I rated it 3 stars becasue of the narrator. While she did a good job with some of the accents she absolutely MUTILATED the accent of the men (Yohan and Christiano). I absolutley love hearing books with European accents however I think Audible should do a better job when picking narrators if they are going to attemp reading in accents. I am more cautious now upon purchasing AUDIBLE stories becasue the narrator means EVERYTHING!

okay book

It was an okay book but wish I had not wasted a credit on it.

A Tainted Mind by Tamsen Schultz

This was a long book but very well scripted. It took me on a cascading journey of a Forsenic Scientist. Off she goes for a much needed vacation. But a murder comes up on her vacation and the town begged her to stay a few days to help. She could not turn it away and gets deeply involved with the town Sheriff. The roller coaster ride begins and next thing you know it and they are after a serial killer. A

Few minor lovemaking scenes to make it tasteful. I thought it was a good read and is very descriptive about the surroundings. You can imagine their countryside settings. More of a chick book though but you won't be disappointed!

Will read more of this author

A medical examiner and a cop--a great combo. She's trying to take a vacation but gets pulled into another case with the discovery of a body and he's a cop fighting his demons. I really liked this book. It flowed well and it wasn't too easy to figure out who the bad guy was. The characters were very honest with each other in their relationship and the secondary characters were well developed. I only wish I would have started this book earlier in the day because I really wanted to finish it. I stayed up way too late as it was and had to finish it on my lunch break the next day. I will definitely buy more books from this author.

Good start to series

A good read that hooks you in and forces you to follow through to the end to find out the killer's t identity.

Totally Awesome!!!

A Tainted Mind is an outstanding, fast-paced suspense novel with a wonderful romantic element. While the plot is solid and complex, it is the quality of characters that make the story great. I am glad that this is a series because even the secondary character grabbed my interest and absolutely loved the main characters who are both extremely strong intelligent characters who have faced almost more than they can handle. This one will having you begging for me just as it does me.

Great characters, complex and interesting story.

I loved A Tainted Mind and since reading it have spend the last week burning through all of Tamsen Schultz's books, including the Puppeteer that I had already read. (A great re-read!) Nice complexity and since I love both romance and thrillers/mysteries - this is a real treat to have them together. And unlike some thriller writers - where it's really just about the sex, you really care about the relationships that are building.

Simona Bell, the lovely daughter of Lord Belgrave, has been invited by her friend, Karoline von Honentaal to stay with her family in Berlin. Simona finds that Karoline's father, the Baron, owns an amazing collection of art which interests her greatly. Alone for a moment, she finds her way into the Baron's private Sanctuary, where she admires an unusual Sedan Chair. Hearing voices and frightened she might be discovered, she slips into the Sedan Chair and closes the door.

The Baron and another man enter the room and Simona overhears them discussing an Englishman called Watson, who has been working on a new naval gun with the Marquis of Midhurst. Watson has been kidnapped by the Germans, who are desperate to learn the secrets of the gun. The Baron is persuaded to invite the Marquis to stay with him in Berlin and agrees to ask a beautiful Countess to seduce his secrets from the Marquis. Simona leaves the Sedan Chair undetected and is anxious to warn the Marquis.

When he arrives she finds a way to tell him all she has overheard, and he is extremely grateful for her help. How the Marquis enlists her in his daring quest to free Watson, how they arrange to spirit him out of Germany and Simona finds the love she has been seeking is told in this exciting and spellbinding book by BARBARA CARTLAND. If you like "Downton Abbey" you will love Barbara Cartland.

Barbara Cartland was the world's most prolific novelist who wrote an amazing 723 books in her lifetime, of which no less than 644 were romantic novels with worldwide sales of over 1 billion copies and her books were translated into 36 different languages.

Between the ages of 77 and 97 she increased her output and wrote an incredible 400 romances as the demand for her romances was so strong all over the world. She wrote her last book at the age of 97 and it was entitled perhaps prophetically The Way to Heaven.

Her books have always been immensely popular in the United States where in 1976 her current books were at numbers 1 and 2 in the B. Dalton bestsellers list, a feat never achieved before or since by any author. Barbara Cartland became a legend in her own lifetime and will be best remembered for her wonderful romantic novels so loved by her millions of readers throughout the world, who have always collected her books to read again and again, especially when they feel miserable or depressed.

Her books will always be treasured for their moral message, her pure and innocent heroines, her handsome and dashing heroes, her blissful happy endings and above all for her belief that the power of love is more important than anything else in everyone's life.
