Publisher's summary

Good girls just can't win! High school principal Judy Anne Palmer was always a good girl who never did an impulsive, rebellious thing. Ever. And look where it got her!

One night in Dallas, she meets a man and decides to indulge in a liberating night of passion - liberating her from the stigma of being the oldest living virgin north of the Rio Grande. After all, she'll never see her one-night Romeo again.

Unfortunately, the night doesn't turn out exactly the way she planned, and her one-night Romeo isn't exactly one-night stand material.

When he turns up in her hometown as a new teacher on her faculty, Judy Anne knows that she's in big trouble. Can she resist the desire that burns between her and Romeo? Can a night of illicit love be enough?

With eccentric small town characters, a bratty niece, an overbearing school board president, and the temptation of a secret lover, Judy Anne has all she can do to keep her passion from turning into the biggest scandal little Clayton Bend, Texas, has ever seen.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Narrator tried to hard, no acting ability, over innunciated to try to speak plainly.

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

I thought the virginal sex scene was funny.

Bad narrator!!!!

Really bad narrator! It sounded computerized most of the time. Story was okay. I wouldn't buy this book if I was you, it's not worth your time unfortunately:(

Juvenile

What disappointed you about Romeo and Judy Anne?

Both Roman & Julie Ann we made to be like bimbo's. I felt like the story was poorly written. The story base was good though.

Cute story with hot sex scenes

If you could sum up Romeo and Judy Anne in three words, what would they be?

Can think of four - 'Hot Sex in Texas'

Which character – as performed by Christine Padovan – was your favorite?

Didn't have a favorite. Character voices are O.K. but the narrator is actually really great at voicing the sex scenes :-)

Any additional comments?

The virgin has left the building!

Sweet Love Story

This was a weekender listen. Something for fun with no serious effort needed. Was not disappointed, in fact, it was better than expected. However, I do agree with other reviewers, the narrator was not very good with the delivery of the story. The poor narration stopped the book getting 4 stars.

WORST NARRATOR EVER

What would have made Romeo and Judy Anne better?

A different reader for starters

Has Romeo and Judy Anne turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes actually it has. I thought I'd try another erotica after reading shades of gray.....but I realize now that most of it is poorly written and therefore its probably difficult to get good readers. This lady reads like she's in the 5th grade.....no inflection, just mono-tone, and her speech is so stilted
Her British accent is hilarious! And her Texas accent isn't much better.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Christine Padovan?

I don't keep track of readers names

Fire the Narrator and send the auth back to school

What disappointed you about Romeo and Judy Anne?

could not finish the book because the narrator is so bad. The paper back will probably do ok.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Get a different narrator.

How could the performance have been better?

use a competent narrator. A good narrator can make or break a booki

Any additional comments?

might have been entertaining, but to wooden. The author might make it in 5-10 yrs. jd

WORST NARRATION EVER!!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Nobody, the narration was so bad in this book. May be less terrible to read paperback but the writing is way over the top immature and annoying. potential in the storyline but it was murdered by the writing of it and more so by the narrator.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

For one thing, she makes up words and mispronounces EVERYTHING, but that is being quite picky. In general, she read it like a childrens book, paused and emphasised in all of the wrong places like she was literally reading words not a story. then there was the voices! the main character she made to sound like a 6year old little girl??! Made it pretty weird considering all of the supposed sexual tension between her and the male interest.
I will NEVER buy a book with this narrator. honestly was the worst narration I have ever heard and I am an avid audiobook listener.

Any additional comments?

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!

So-so

I have nothing really bad to say and nothing really good. Thus, this book was so-so to me. It had romance, which was great. That was really all there was. There was an attempt at having a serious backstory, but it held no significant degree of interest for me. But I appreciate the attempt. There were 2-3 sex scenes that were mildly descriptive with very milk language used. So most of the book was not composed of bed scenes. And the narration was also so-so. The narrator failed utterly at doing a British accent. I hate that she even tried. It sounded horrible and, thus, detracted from the experience of the story for me. When the story ended it was just one other item to mark as done. No residual smile or joy or disappointment--thank goodness--after listening. Just....so-so.
