    New York book editor Maris Matherly-Reed knows a best seller when she sees one - even if it is just a tantalizing partial manuscript submitted by a writer identified only as P.M.E., with the return address of an obscure island off the Georgia coast. Maris is intrigued enough to search for him.

It has all the twists, turns and romance that grabs you and won't let go. You won't want to stop it until you've reached the end.....AND....then you'll want to start all over again.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

    Would you listen to Outlander again? Why?

    I have actually listened to it too many times to count already!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Outlander?

    Too many memorable moments to pick one! Everything in the story touches your heart and stays there forever.


    What about Davina Porter’s performance did you like?

    Davina Porter is the absolute best at reading like a Scot. I cannot imagine reading the book in print. I could never sound as wonderful as Davina and her accent MAKES the story come alive.


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

    The book is just one moment after another that moves a person. Jamie's love for Claire is always a very moving moment.


    Any additional comments?

    The entire Outlander series is great. Diana keeps the story going and you just want to keep reading. I've never physically been to Scotland, but I feel like I've been there many times through the story. It has made me scour the internet for pictures of Scotland and particularly the area the story takes place in. Apparently, a movie and a TV series are in the making.........I along with millions of others are patiently waiting for this to happen. I cannot get enough of OUTLANDER!!! If you haven't read it......you best get started.....you won't regret it!

    History has all but forgotten.... In the spring of 1708, an invading Jacobite fleet of French and Scottish soldiers nearly succeeded in landing the exiled James Stewart in Scotland to reclaim his crown. Now, Carrie McClelland hopes to turn that story into her next best-selling novel. Settling herself in the shadow of Slains Castle, she creates a heroine named for one of her own ancestors and starts to write. But then she discovers her novel is more fact than fiction....

    Oh my........this is a WONDERFUL book! I am an avid "Outlander" fan and am now a Susanna Kearsley fan also. I wish you had more of her books to listen to. I love the style she wrote this book........jumping back and forth between centuries. Such an easy listen and emotional roller coaster. I could have just wrote this review with four words.....I LOVE THIS BOOK ! I want MORE!

    When it comes to the holidays, no story brings us back to the true spirit of giving like O. Henry’s classic "The Gift of the Magi". So this year we’ve asked some of your favorite Audible narrators—Audie Award winners Katherine Kellgren, Oliver Wyman, and Jonathan Davis—to bring to life this timeless tale, plus two more of O. Henry’s gems: "The Cop and the Anthem" and "The Last Leaf", in this holiday collection.

    This was a GREAT book. It kept me glued to my Ipod. So many twists and turns and each one connecting to the other. This was my first David Baldacci listen and I'm off to get one more. If they are all as good as this one, I'll be his #1 fan!

    Ignoring her insistent best friend, some interfering do-gooders, and the ubiquitous dog Fred - not to mention her suddenly raging hormones - 40-year-old Nina thinks anyone but Alex would be a better bet for a relationship. But the more silver-haired stiffs she dates, the more she suspects it's the young dog-loving doctor she wants to sit and stay!

    Agnes Crandall's life goes awry when a dognapper invades her kitchen one night, seriously hampering her attempts to put on a wedding that she's staked her entire net worth on. Then a hero climbs through her bedroom window. His name is Shane - no last name, just Shane - and he has his own problems.

    I have just discovered Jennifer Crusie's books and can't get enough of them. "Agnes and the Hitman" is hilarious. I found it hard at first to get used to the narrator when the sound was in an echo chamber, but soon learned to love it. People around me think I must have "lost it", because I walk around laughing out loud. I want more and more of Jennifer Crusie!
