A Hit!!

JAK has done it again. She gives us a world that is so believable, we wish we could go visit these places and meet these people.

Amateurish and boring!

My husband and I always listen together and we both agreed that this book was amateurish and boring. The storyline is a good one and could have been a really good book, but the author's writing technique sounded like it had been written by a young girl writing her first story. The dialogue was stilted and unnatural. The narrator was completely wrong for the story, or maybe she could only do so much with the material given to her. I would be extremely wary of ever selecting this author or narrator again.

Painful to listen to

I must say that I love, adore many of the Jayne Anne Krentz Books, but I found myself cringing while listening to this story or falling asleep to "The Lost Night". I typically adore the paranormal in Jayne's stories. I also enjoy the plot replayed over and over again -- that of two powerful talents finding each other. I have not managed to finish listening to this title though I've managed to fly solo to the USA and back to Sweden and take a 11 hour train trip within Sweden... again, solo (meaning no children to watch at the time). I simply must not be a Harmony fan. It is a pity. This was my first audible listen, and a treat to myself. But it one that I could not manage.

I don't know how to be fair to Joyce Bean in this review. After-all, she portrays the messenger in this dynamic. I had a super difficult time enjoying her voice when listening about Harry Sebastian. I cannot distinguish if this is because Harry's lines were simply not pleasing for me to hear or if it were the portrayal of the lines.

Great story. But....

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would change the narrator. Her voice was grating and awful. When she made her voice deeper for the male characters it made me cringe and not want to keep listening. I know she can't help it but she kind of ruined it for me.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favourite character in the story was the dust bunny.

What didn’t you like about Joyce Bean’s performance?

She read the story very well, but her voice wrecked it for me.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

A different narrator.

Weird Book, But Decent Story

This book was average to me - not great, not bad. The story was pretty good, but all the weird paranormal elements in the book were somewhat distracting. I feel like this book should be part 2 in a series, as it was hard to understand why the setting was on another plant that is earth-like, but not earth. Some background seemed to be missing. The characters were somewhat hard to get into or relate with. I had to force myself to keep listening for the first couple of hours, but thereafter, I got into the book more and could finish it. If you have plenty of credits, give it a try, but if you are trying to be selective, I'd pass on this one.
