Publisher's summary

The first time Travis North lays eyes on Liana McDermott, she's wearing the most hideous bridesmaid dress he's ever seen. He doesn't immediately recognize the world-famous super model who is attending her cousin Enid's wedding at the country club he owns. Thanks to Enid's shameless matchmaking, Travis and Liana become acquainted and later embark on a two-week fling intended to be free of emotion and entanglement. As Liana's return to work gets closer, however, Travis wonders how he'll ever let her go when the time comes while Liana considers whether he might be her true north. Two high-powered careers, two amazing weeks and a love that comes along just once in a lifetime. Is she ready to give up her career for a different kind of life? Does he want the same things she does? After insisting on an emotionless affair, she can't very well ask him. Or can she?

Wrong narrator?

The narrator, while she has a great voice, her delivery was so flat I don't think she did the book justice. She may be better not doing a romantic story. Her announcing the chapter was more lively than happy scenes.

My mistake

What would have made True North better?

I bought this book based on a few reviews and the price was right. I need to remember to read more reviews and listen to the demo. I didn't love the performance and I probably skipped a third of the book so I wouldn't have to listen to book porn. I would've liked some substance- this book didn't have it.

What was most disappointing about Marie Force’s story?

It was a mindless read- and did the writer get a bonus for every "sweetheart" written into the story?

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Holly Fielding?

Gah!

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

All the pet names and graphic sex

Looking for a well written and gripping romance?

This is not it!

Apparently I need to write 20 words, so I'll add shallow, unrelatable, insulting and utterly uninspired.

Typical romance novel

This was a typical romance. The female character was a model. The narrator gave her an, "I'm bored" voice. The story is based on two beautiful people; the man chasing the woman. I won't be re-reading it.

IDK what to say….

It’s hard to believe that this is the same Marie Force that wrote the Fatal and First Family series. I didn’t find the dialogue as engaging and the male leads (both) were big babies and would storm off when things didn’t go their way. Where is the Nick in this story? Ugh, nowhere!
The narrator’s voice is too sweet and monotone for the book. She sounded depressing.
If I hadn’t had to use a credit, it would’ve been okay (maybe as a Kindle read and listen), but I didn’t see that it was worth the credit - especially if you’re a Sam and Nick fan.

Loved the story...

I read the book years ago and was excited to find it on Audible. But I am disappointed in the narration. Ms. Fielding 's performance sounds lazy and unimaginative. She comes across as bored and really didn't do justice to this wonderful book.

Hang in there

I really struggled to get into this book, as the Alpha Male, pushed the woman a bit too much for me. she said no, he said you'll like it... it set my teeth on edge. Once I was able to get past those first few chapters, I was happy with the rest of the book. It ended the correct way.

Okay story but poor narrator.

The story of famous models and pulled them up by the bootstrap guys. It would be an average read, except that the narrator is too monotone and will put you to sleep. I forced myself to listen to the entire book. The storyline starts out weak but gets better. However, the narration never improveds. Recommend you read the book rather than listen to this version.

Ok story.. less than ok narration

I have mixed feelings about this story and the narrator.
Story: while it was sweet and the happily ever after was very satisfying I must say that there were actually too many sex scenes that didn't add anything to the story. It felt like sex was a filler of about half of the story. Also, this story includes two romances and both females are high profile top models (celebrities) that leave everything behind for men. Meanwhile the men don't sacrifice anything at all for them. I don't like that message. Two weeks of romance and love and women just fall at the feet of their men.

Narrator: While the Ms. Holly Fielding has a very nice voice and her male voices were excellent, she did a voice for the Heroine as groggy. It almost put me to sleep. I doubt any top model would have such a tired groggy voice. So every-time the heroine spoke it was flat and sleepy.

This is not Ms. Force's best work so you should try the Gansett Island series first and only get this title if you get it on a very good sale.

Great Love Story

I've listened to this story three times - it never gets boring! Great summer read - even in Florida;)
