I haven't "read" a book since 1998, just not interested....after the 50 Shades Trilogy, I have become an audio book addict! I am a very tough critic.

    For 36 years, Marcus Sullivan has been the responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his seven siblings after their father died when they were children. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned for himself turns out to be nothing but a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to shake free from it all. Nicola Harding is known throughout the world by only one name - Nico - for her catchy, sensual pop songs. Only what no one knows about the 25-year-old singer is that her sex-kitten image is totally false.

    CAROLYN says: "Another winner from Ms. Andre"
    "Nice story, can't wait for the next Sullivan!"

    Recently widowed, grieving Los Angeles midwife/nurse Melinda Monroe answers a small upstate town's ad for help. Nestled amongst California's giant redwoods, quaint Virgin River is host to many quirky characters - including bar owner Jack Sheridan, who may be just the man to make Melinda smile again.

    Where does Virgin River rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I have read books 1-6 so far and I greatly enjoy them more and more. I love escaping to Virgin River and listening to the trials and tribulations of their everyday life and the troubles that come to them. Each book seems to introduce new characters, while still keeping in touch with the old one that I have grown to love. I highly recommend this series to everyone!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Virgin River?

    When Mel first arrived at the cabin in Virgin River. Laugh out Loud Funny!


    What about Therese Plummer’s performance did you like?

    Her performance is outstanding! The way she makes the difference voices for each character, and the banter between them, sometimes make me laugh out loud, it's like I am sitting right there watching the characters talk to each other!


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When Mel was on her bed apologizing to her husband. So heart warming.

    Would you try another book from Megan Hart and/or Filomena Contessa?

    I don't care to ever hear Filomena's voice again. Too nasal-y. Megan Hart has put out some good book, this one is not one of her best.


    What was most disappointing about Megan Hart’s story?

    The storyline seemed to drag on, and on, and on. I listened to half of the book and couldn't continue.... it hadn't picked up yet!


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Her voice, I found it hard to get into the characters.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Switch?

    The bar

    With The Look of Love, best-selling author Bella Andre introduces you to a fun and emotional contemporary romance series about the Sullivan family. Because when a Sullivan bad boy falls... he falls hard. And it's forever. Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her must be too good to be true. Or is he?
