Publisher's summary

Bell Harbor is a one-million copy bestselling series.

If Sadie Turner is good at anything, it’s putting stuff in order. So when she finds her “perfect” life in disarray, she hopes a summer vacation at her aunt’s lake house will help her piece it back together. She wants to relax, reboot, and heal the wounds left by her cheating ex-husband. And that requires time away from men. All men.

Or so she thinks.

With two slobbering dogs and two cousins living there - one a flamboyant decorator intent on making over Sadie - it’s hard to get a moment’s peace at eccentric Aunt Dody’s house, especially with everyone so determined to set her up with Desmond, the sexy new neighbor.

Desmond is Sadie’s worst nightmare. Tall, tanned, muscular...and to top it off, he’s great with her kids. But he must have a flaw - he’s a man - so Sadie vows to keep her distance.

As summer blazes on, the life Sadie is trying so hard to simplify only becomes more complicated - a new career presents itself, her evil ex haunts her, and Aunt Dody reveals a tragic secret - but maybe a little chaos is just what Sadie needs to get her life back in order.

So distracted

I know it’s all been said before
But I was just too distracted by the voice to enjoy the story!

UGh!

GREAT BOOK, AWFUL WORST NARRATOR EVER! RUINED THE BOOK! She has a good voice but NOT TO NARRATE! I couldnt take her quit after 3 chapters.

Excellent transition of voices. Lovely.

Enchanting story of love and purpose. Narrative genuine and I can see how she loves the story reading it.

Not the best

Narrator was just as terrible as all the reviews said. I thought maybe I’d still get a good story out of it if I just ignored her; but the story itself felt very immature and it was painful how stupid and naive the main character was. Ugh! Not worth a re-listen!

Performance has to be better

Another book I could not continue listening to because the performance was so droll. No good cross over in voices between characters. I am not interested in even reading the book on my Kindle. Sad, as I like the author otherwise.

Sadie Needed a Spine

Although parts of Crazy Little Thing were cute and entertaining. divorced mother Sadie had the emotional maturity of a teen and no spine.

Sadie had meekly allowed her asshole husband to verbally abuse and cheat on her for 8 years, then blamed herself for the divorce.

When Sadie met the sexy doctor Des, she didn't communicate her thoughts and feelings, just jumped to conclusions like an idiot.

What could have been a fun romance about starting over turned into a silly farce about an insecure brat. Very annoying plot that dragged on and on.

The narrator had a pleasant voice most of the time, but used irritating squeaky voices for the aunt and children.

Good...but...

I really enjoyed the story for the cute and funny and albeit cooky characters. Sweet and enduring. As far as my issue with the performance I really liked the main character Saddie's voice as well as Des. However I cringed when hearing Dody and Fontaine's voice. Both were just shrilly and hindered my total enjoyment. It is hard to hear that since I enjoyed the other voices. Still worth the listen/read.

Would be better with a different voice for the aunt.

The aunt’s voice is GRATING. The rest of the story was fair. There was some humor but the heroine seemed really dumb.

Great comfortable reading

Love the easy presentation of this world. Got lost and smothered in its fantasy. The narration managed to even bring the characters to greater heights. Going to purchase another in the serious right now!

First book I completed for 2018

I started reading the book then I started using audio while reading and the story is cool and the characters are pretty cool and I enjoyed all the comedy in the story
