Publisher's summary

Sheltered preacher's daughter Haley Foster ran away from her small town to do all the "bad" things she'd never done. She soon found herself in a hotel room with U.S. Marshal Kevin Harmon. But her knight in shining armor showed no interest in teaching a disappointed Haley Lovemaking 101....

Kevin had every interest in teaching the bold, beautiful virgin in front of him a few lessons in love. But his integrity - and a deep-rooted fear of commitmen - kept him in check. Then an unexpected road trip with eager Haley put his resolve to the test. And soon they were both on a wild journey of discovery and setting a new course - for love.

I'm completely Smitten with this book/author

This was my first book by Susan Mallery. Somethimes taking a chance is so worth it. I found this book to be charming, sweet, sexy and it made me LOL more than once. And that is what I personally look for in a good book, a good escape and this book provided that. Not to mention, Plummer is an excellent job with the narration. I will purchase more from this author.

Charming

I really enjoyed this charming little read. It's a sweet love story. There's romance and passion, and a couple of riveting sex scenes. The characters are engaging and there are even a few laughs. I was worried about the relatively short length of the book (compared to most books I listen to). I was afraid the story would feel rushed or forced, but happily that was not the case. As for the narrator, I've heard perhaps a half dozen books read by Theresa Plummer, and she never disappoints. The cadence of her voice is pleasing and she does the best male character voices of any other female narrator I've listened to. Come to think of it, she does better male character voices than quite a few of the male narrators I've listened to. Given the low price of the book, it's possibly the best entertainment value I've gotten from Audible thus far.

Sweet and thankfully short

This was a very sweet story about a very sweet, sheltered and naive young woman. I can not remember a time when I was ever this naive--even as a teen--maybe as a 7 year old. No not even then. It was a fun short read but I didn't find it compelling in any way.

surprisingly good story

Any additional comments?

I chose this book cause I wanted a clean, simple love story and expected it to be the typical sappy romance. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised at the story line. It is a well written and fun story.

A Good Read!

Would you consider the audio edition of Completely Smitten to be better than the print version?

Completely Smitten with Susan Mallery

Would you consider the audio edition of Completely Smitten to be better than the print version?

I enjoy audio versions of many books because of the amount of time I spend in the car commuting to and from home. Another reason I enjoy books on audio is that I can listen while multi-tasking, whether the task be household chores, exercising, grocery shopping, etc.

I loved this book. The characters were likable, and the story was believable.

Any additional comments?

This is a great, light hearted book that everyone is sure to enjoy.

A charming, thoughtful romance.

If you could sum up Completely Smitten in three words, what would they be?

The relationship between Kevin and Haley evolves without the artifice of gratuitous sex. The plot moves along and the characters are revealed gradually in a natural progression.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Haley is a joy. Her previously curbed warmth and ambitions are gradually revealed as the story progresses. She grows throughout the story. Kevin, our hero, also evolved and his heart warms up through the story. Still, Haley is my favorite.

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved the talent show ... atta girl, Haley.

Any additional comments?

A note on Allan, the ex-fiance, what an idiot! So nice to see him summarily dealt with.

Easy to listen to, sweet story

Would you listen to Completely Smitten again? Why?

No, but I don't usually listen or read books again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Completely Smitten?

When she changed how she dressed and knocked his socks off.

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

It was an easy book to listen to and she did great with the female leads voice but I didn't care for her voice for the male character.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I smiled a lot at the reactions that Haley had to different things.

Humorus and Romantic!

Would you consider the audio edition of Completely Smitten to be better than the print version?

I have not read this specific book in print but if the narrator is really good there is another dimension added to experiencing the book. This narrator was good and the differention of the characters was entertaining. Although most of the interaction was between the hero and heroine so there was not an abundance of voices but she did very well on the male gender characters. The story by Susan Mallery was humorus and romantic and I would recommend this book although be advised there are some hot intimate scenes.

What other book might you compare Completely Smitten to and why?

I would compare this book to a Janet Evanovich book because she leans more toward the comedic side of writing.

Which scene was your favorite?

I can't say if I had one favorite scene, they all meshed together nicely.

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

No I listened to the entire book in about 5 sittings.

Any additional comments?

If you like romantic comedies this is a book you will enjoy.

A fun story that's well written.

What made the experience of listening to Completely Smitten the most enjoyable?

Susan Mallery's stories are always interesting, funny and have a good plot. I don't like real sappy stories or ones that have long sex scenes every other chapter. Susan's stories are touching and enjoyable!
