Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts come a classic tale about finding the man of your dreams right under your nose.

Ex-model Zoe Fleming is now a hardworking single mom - and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Though she would like a tenant to share household expenses. What she gets is confirmed bachelor J. Cooper McKinnon. Coop quickly befriends her son and in no time has the reluctant Zoe charmed, too. But she has zero room in her life for a man! Either this was a recipe for disaster or the best mistake she’s ever made.

Too short and typical

What did you like best about The Best Mistake? What did you like least?

I love Nora, but this was more like a generic love story, very short and predictable. Fun for a quick trip, but not a keeper after you hear it once.

Great story but only 2.5 hours and a whole credit

Disappointed that a whole credit resulted in 2.5 hours of a story. Great story, well written and presented.

Too Hard To Resist

Would you consider the audio edition of The Best Mistake to be better than the print version?

oh yes as reader is devine

Who was your favorite character and why?

Keenan, was oh so sweet. He makes your heart melt. i.e. when he kisses the hurt on our hero or offers up help that a 4 yr old has no idea what to do. Makes you admire great mothers that teach their young ones the right thing to do. Author is a pro at this as she had sons. Any book she writes which includes kids are some of her best work. She can add humor, fun and heartwarming moments.

Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrews’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love his reading style. AKA Todd Haberkorn. When he pairs up with Nora= WINNER

Any additional comments?

short but so sweet. Buy on sale

Outstanding, I love Nora Roberts books!

Mr. Andrews delivered a very interesting story! I usually listen to longer stories, however, this short story was wonderful. Excellent for a short flight or slightly longer car ride.
