"A disappointment...."
I usually like everything I read by Nora Roberts, but this book was a bit of a disappointment. The main character(Gwen came off as very immature and churlish, and she seemed incredibly stupid for acting on an assumption that could have been easily clarified. Since she and Luke had this explosive chemistry between them, how hard would it have been for her to just ask if he had been involved with her mother? Since this is the premise of the entire book, I found myself rolling my eyes several times over the sheer lunacy of it all. And the fact that Gwen blamed Luke for everything rather than taking any responsibility for her own actions was just ridiculous.
The narrator did a good job with the southern accents, but that only made Gwen's southern belle character even more annoying. Not Nora's best work.5 of 7 people found this review helpful -
"Not the best."
What disappointed you about Her Mother's Keeper?It was very slow and didn't keep my interest. I could have stopped in the middle and never finished it. The story was predictable and not what I've come to know from Nora Roberts.
Has Her Mother's Keeper turned you off from other books in this genre?No. I love me some romance novels. This one just didn't strike my fancy.
What about Therese Plummer’s performance did you like?The performance was fine.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Her Mother's Keeper?There were quite a few times that a thought or action was reiterated. After the third time I start thinking, "All right, I get it!"

"Stopped the book..couldn't listen anymore"
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?A better story as well as the accents. I couldn't get into the story at all and I love Nora Roberts.
What could Nora Roberts have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?I have no clue. Maybe this was written on a bad day or just the narrator
What do you think the narrator could have done better?The simpleton Louisiana accents. It made me think of a civil war plantation house. Ugh
What character would you cut from Her Mother's Keeper?Have no idea I stopped half way through
Any additional comments?It was cheap, it's the only reason I got it but I have never stopped listening to a book before. I just couldn't take it. The accents were killing me

"Good story - kept my interest"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?This book was good, kept my interest and was worth the price ($4.95). Very typical Nora Roberts book (which is a good thing).

"lovely but controversial romance"
Where does Her Mother's Keeper rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?It keeps you on suspense until the end. Lovely story. Four starts

What does Therese Plummer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?She performs beautifully, leading the story with its characters, but leaving margin to your imagination.

"Too much accents in the reading"
Is there anything you would change about this book?Yes, make it less predictable
Would you ever listen to anything by Nora Roberts again?Yes
What didn’t you like about Therese Plummer’s performance?Too much of trying to portray the character rather than read the story.
What would have made this romance irresistible?more background story of the characters. They were not very well developed.
Any additional comments?It must be an early Nora Roberts book - her other books are much better.
