steamy and suspenseful

Loved the way the plot moved quickly and the romance developed between the 2 main characters. The narrator did the different voices of the lover's parents, grandmother and bad guys very well!

Love this Story

I know I'm late to the books, but this is one of my favorites.Some of the voices to the charters are a little off, but the story over writes that.

Great plot. Fantastic narrator. Had me to the end

Loved the entire storyline. I was anticipating every twist and turn. A must listen. Romantic!

Smoking

I loved the story and the narrator! I just can’t stand the cigarette smoking. A sign of the times.

Good book!

Fun to travel back to a time before cell phones. Interesting colorful suspenceful story line.

Good story

I enjoyed this book and I thought the reading performance was good. Now, on to the next one!

Escapism

Light predictable escapism, no suspense as we are told who the bad guys are up front. Did not like the fact that they just glossed over the early domestic abuse in the relationship like leaving bruises on someone can be brushed away with flowers. But it was written a long time ago, narrated sounded like she was an extra in gone with the wind. But Dora’s character was fun and i loved that she was unapologetically a bit materialistic and bratty.

Typical storyline and distracting background noise.

The story was typical but I was distracted by the annoying background noise. I kept thinking who’s talking in the background.. they could re-record this audio to be more professional!

Easy Listening

I have enjoyed listening to this book....not the best Nora book I have ever read but good strong main characters and alot of effort went into the story setting.
