The Bride Quartet, Book 2

By: Nora Roberts

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

Length: 9 hrs and 27 mins

Publisher's summary

Since she was a little girl, Emma Grant has always loved romance. So it's really no surprise that she has found her calling as a wedding florist at Vows. She gets to play with flowers every day and work with her three best friends in the process. She couldn't ask for a better job....

And on the surface, Emma's love life seems to be thriving. Slim and sultry, she brings color into every room she enters, just like the arrangements she creates. Though men swarm around her, she still hasn't found Mr. Right. And the last place she's looking is right under her nose.

But that's just where Jack Cooke is. He's so close to the women of Vows that he's practically family. But the architect has begun to admit to himself that his feelings for Emma have developed into much more than friendship. And when Emma returns his passion - kiss for blistering kiss - things start to get complicated at Vows.

Jack has never been big on commitment, though, while Emma yearns for a lifelong love affair. If the two are to find common ground, they must trust in their history - and in their hearts.

Great Series - Great Book

Where does Bed of Roses rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This series of books ranks really high on my list of favorites in the girly love story catagory. I love almost everything by Nora Roberts and have throoughly enjoy this series of books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like all the girls in this story!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I usually listen to books on my commute but have found that I've wanted to continue listening even when at my desk at work.

THE BRIDE QUARTET

Nice easy read. Enjoyable but once you get through the four books it becomes too predictable a story.

Great continuation of Vision in White.

Have been a JD Robb fan for years but just recently started reading Nora Roberts serieses.
This series is about four friends who run a wedding planning business together. Enjoyable listen, narrator is good, but this one was alot shorter than the first. Didn't seem to be as much build up in the story.

Emma and Jack brought romance to the forefront

Nora Roberts has done a great job weaving these four stories of love and friendship together. I love Emma and Jack's story. And I love how unique each love story is to the characters. Angela Dawe is a welcomed change from the first narrator. She really draws you in.

Lived Up to Vision in White

I love listening to Nora's books on audio. I especially love the narrators chosen to read her books. Bed of Roses seemed a little dry until the end, but that was because of the writing not because of the narration. If you are a fan of you won't be disappointed

Great book.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have recommended this book to friends. Love Nora Roberts as an author.

Any additional comments?

This series makes you feel like you could be one of their girl friends. I felt really close to the characters.

Another favorite series by Nora Roberts

I really didn't want this series to end. Each of the 'brides' were women I would like to keep as best friends. Their different personalities/quirks complemented each other and were a perfect fit. All four books were fantastic with no offensive sex and little offensive language. I have all this series in books, on my kindle and in Audible. The narration really brought the characters to life and added much depth to the storyline. I miss this style from Nora Roberts and wish that she would write another series. This series and the Boonesboro are my favorite in her true romance

Great!

Would you listen to Bed of Roses again? Why?

No, I very seldom listen to a book twice.

What did you like best about this story?

It followed through from the first book very well, but stood alone well, too. I was already invested in the characters through the first book. I like listening to series.

What does Angela Dawe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The emotion and accents.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not enough time.

Any additional comments?

It was a little predictable, but I enjoyed it.

great story, not a fan of the reader

not a fan of the reader, all the voices were exactly the same. Great story

Nice escape

This is my first audible romance-- It took a little getting used to "hearing" and not reading, but I liked the fact that I could listen while I drive or do housework, so it made it an even better escape. I read the other reviews about a lisp and could honestly not hear one. The only thing that was a little weird was hearing the male character narrated by a woman. Even with her voice lowered, it was kind of odd, but I guess that's part of the audiobook package. Nice story, just downloaded another in the series.
