Resumen del Editor

A famous child psychologist, who has authored several best-selling books on raising children, discovers he doesn't know as much as he thought he did when he meets a pediatrician and mother of three. Neither of them imagined how their lives would change when they shared a flight headed for Las Vegas for a medical convention.

For Jack Winston and Victoria Feingold, whatever happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. It follows them back to Chicago.

Jack doesn't want to fail, but he's not sure he's emotionally prepared to live with Victoria's three children. Not to mention her mother, sister, dog, and needy ex-husband.

Grand Central Station is a fast-paced ride and a lot of fun!

Delightful Romantic Novella

A delightful contemporary romance starring a best selling pediatrician, who gives advise on child rearing, and a hard working woman, also a pediatrician, with 3 "real" kids.

A STORY IN VIGNETTES

GRAND CENTRAL STATION is a stand-alone, sweet, contemporary, comedic romance that includes a talking family dog.

I have an aspiring author whom I have been speaking to, and I coached him recently that “a problem has to be presented to the reader.” In this story, there are many words, and various vignettes, but there is no problem to be resolved.

I wanted to like the story, but it didn’t go anywhere except to Vegas to get married.

I’m not even sure why the family dog talked, since his voice didn’t add anything to the story.

As you’ll notice, even my blog post is in vignette… because I can’t get a flow from the book. Should I pick up something else from this author? Have you read anything by her and loved it? Tell me what you think.

Narration: Marsha Casper Cook has a sweet British nanny voice. Unfortunately, each sentence ends up being a clipped separate entity, and I think that affected the story.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobookworm Promotions Adopt-an-Audiobook, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Sweet

I guess this was a nice story, although there’s a lot happening in a short amount of time. It was primarily the story of Victoria & Jack, then there was her sister Eva and her mother Grace, finding happiness as well.

I didn’t like the narration much. Sangita Chauhan definitely has a pleasant voice, but used it for each and every character, even the dog’s (which was weird and didn’t add to the story at all). Because the story was about so many people, it made it very difficult at times to know who’s talking.

A Cute Enjoyable Cozy

Grand Central Station was an appropriately titled fun quick cozy. It was an easy listen with likeable characters and storyline and a relaxing way to spend a rainy afternoon. Two busy people, Victoria and Jack meet and fall in love in Vegas and Jack gets a built in extended family. This is the first book I've listened to written by Marsha Casper Cook and I hope to hear more from her.

Sangita Chauhan's performance was terrific. I enjoyed listening to her. She had a wonderful tone with great voice inflections making this an enjoyable listen. I'll listen to her again as well.

a quick pleasant romance

Marsha Casper Cook has penned a charming, sweet romantic short listen but in that short time it packed plenty of content (without being rushed)
The characters are wonderfully crafted and sound pretty honest. Their romance is sweet but also complicated by Marsha's extensive familial commitments. The story, though not long covers enough to make it enjoyable and believable.

sangita chauhan does a wonderful job with the naration, managing to convey emotions and characteristics as well as ensuring it was clear who was talking.
I received a copy of this book through Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review.

Grand Central Station

Grand Central Station was a great name for this story, there is just so much going on with all the family members and the kids and dog. I love how her mom encouraged her to move on and pushed her to her favorite author. The characters are very likable except maybe the sister and ex. Although they both just needed a push in growing up. The talking dog is cute. Overall, a fun listen. The narration was nice, and she has a lovely voice, I only wish she had distinguished each character. I would get lost wondering who was talking. However, she did do her job she narrated not acted.

I liked the story

Narration was good, there is a place or two sere they repeat a sentence but otherwise it was an interesting story.
