The Villa

I'm a big fan of Nora Roberts and have actually read this book several years ago. The story is great several different subplots that all come together well in the end. This is a don't miss if you love romance. The narrator does an excellent job and it was a pleasure to listen.

I have to say I was alittle unsure about this book at first, but OMG i loved, loved, loved it!
i pulled an all nighter just to finish the book which totally defeated the point of downloading it for while i was at work. i can not give it justice it was that good. i find myself telling everyone i know about it. i wish there was a spin off or something!!!!!! P/s i am listening to it again! lol
DOWNLOAD NOW, THIS IS A MUST LISTEN

I haven't read much Nora Roberts but of the ones I have read this is my favorite. Unlike many of her books it is a standalone and I found it very enjoyable. I wish she had made it into a series so I could read more about the characters.

Definitely not in the category of classic literature but an entertaining romance.

I thoroughly enjoyed 99% of this book. The narration was excellent, couldn't have been better. The characters in the story are well developed; in my opinion, the characters and the narration, not the story itself, are what make this listen very worthwhile. However, the end was quite disappointing, and, I think, not very plausible. Still, I recommend it.

A good read.

I did enjoy the book but the start of the 2nd part felt as if it had been added to make up pages - it just didn't want to go anywhere in a hurry.

An amazing twist towards the end that gets things going again. The characters are real and you can feel for them.

A good read all in all

I would absolutely recommend this book. It is a delightful tale of family, intrigue, romance (of course), wine, and has an unexpected twist at the end.

It had all of the elements of the best Nora Roberts books: strong family relationships, an interesting story line, and a bonus two romances instead of one. The insights into wine making in California and in Italy were interesting. The characters were real - I especially enjoyed the teenage girl.

I have not listened to any other stories narrated by Laural Merlington but to my non-Italian ear, she did a fabulous job.

I was much too tempted to listen to it in one sitting - and did stay up too late one evening to listen to the end of it.

It is an audiobook that I will listen to several times again, I am sure.

I loved this book! The characters were great, as well as the story line and the narrator. I didn't want it to end. I will listen too it again. I'm not a huge Nora Roberts fan but I really enjoyed this book!

Excellent book, Laural Merlington is an excellent reader, does all the voices well and her italian accent and speech makes this one of the best audio books I have every listened. Worth every penny.

I loved this book ! Kinda reminded me of my favorite show " Falcon Crest" . NRA Roberts is such a good writer in creating a whole story with different characters and angles that work perfectly transferring you to a different world. So so so good and the narrator choice was perfect for this book.

A great escape writer. I enjoyed the story and the performance. 5 Star because it was a story that kept my interest and had a good ending. Sometimes that's all I want and this book delivered just that.
