Maggie Beaumont's luck is about to change. Sure, she's known for her bad romantic choices-her former boyfriend broke up with her by bringing his new girlfriend home for a visit. And then there was the crush she had on a gorgeous young Irishman, who turned out to be Father Tim, the parish's new priest. But romantic salvation has arrived in the form of handsome, if surly, fisherman Malone. It turns out there's a heart of gold underneath his barnacle-clad exterior. Will this catch of the day turn into the dish of a lifetime?

The intonation of the narrator, she captured the humor the author intended.

The day Maggie realized that Tim was the new priest in town.

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

No but I will soon. She's a talented narrator, I wish she narrated more of this author's books.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Maggie is used to putting her foot in her mouth but does she have faith that she'll take a step in the right direction and find love in her hometown?

Any additional comments?

This was such a great find. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for a book that will make you miss the characters as soon as it ends.

Perfect story/narrator combination

Any additional comments?

I do love Kristan Higgins's books and jumped when at least two were released in audio, but Sands's performance is a kill-joy. The narration is blasé and condenscending and not worth of the book - I'm released "Somebody to Love" was performed by another narrator.

love the book!... narrator? not so much!

I love this author and this book series is great! Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Captivating

I related so much with Maggie at the start of the book. Early 30s, Catholic, dating issues, etc. I laughed at her embarrassing episodes but cringed too, because they got to be too many at some point.

Cried about Colonel. Loved the descriptions of small town living. Fantastic storytelling.

Bit long with perhaps too many secondary and tertiary characters. Slut-shaming was constant and the big misunderstanding took a while to be resolved.

I also wish there was more to Maggie and Malone’s developing relationship. Malone was too quiet and his motivation for his actions were not fully explained because he wouldn’t talk.

As it is, this is more women's fiction (Maggie's coming into her own) than romance.

If you could sum up Catch of the Day in three words, what would they be?

This is my first book of Higgins and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was funny and very realistic. The main charactor remains me of some of my younger days. The narrator handles the female voices well but struggles to vary the male ones. All in all, I loved it and am now looking for another one by the author.

What did you like best about this story?

the variation of the male and female voices

Which character – as performed by Xe Sands – was your favorite?

Maggie by far

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The end was great

Truthfully, this is not Kristin Higgins best, but still an enjoyable escape. I didn’t really like the love interest too much in this one.

Another light romance

It was a good story that kept my attention. Didnt drag on and on, and had me guessing what was going to happen, and how it would end. However, the voice she uses for ALL the men and some women in the story are TERRIBLE!!! I hope not all men talk the same in that voice, tone and accent!!!

Good story

Again Kristin Higgins nails human emotions, crazy stories we tell ourselves, and the foibles we make because of all 3, in a way hat made we chuckle!

Xe Sands, great job! The way she lowers and softens her voice to portray the man or men who attract her adds emphasis to the situations and makes me smile.

Made me laugh!
