Kiwi Gold

New Zealand Ever After, Book 4

De: Rosalind James

Narrado por: Emma Wilder, Tom Janson

I'm an adventurer, not a girl-dad.

When you grow up with a single mom and quadruplet baby sisters, you find out two things. You can change two diapers at once, and you don't want to. Anyway, my job was finding gold. And however much I liked New Zealand, it had already been explored.

Now, rescuing a woman dressed in a nightdress at a costume ball? That worked for me. And holding her up against the wall, to shield her from the cops, was pure enjoyment.

Driving with her to a barbecue, a fruit salad in my lap, and her twins - her girl twins - in the back seat? Out of my comfort zone.

And that was before she started asking me for dating lessons, and wondering how to explain that she couldn’t have sex before marriage.

I had it under control, though. I was coping. Until those four sisters of mine decided to go looking for their sperm donor.

Falling in Love...

Another wonderful and fun book by Rosalind James. She has a way of writing twists and turns in a story to make you not want to stop. You'll enjoy this powerful story and cheer on the characters. Her children characters are always so well done. That's the the parts I enjoy the most. This was not my favorite story but still worth listening to.

Great story as always

I love this series and the other series by this author; as always the characters are special and I have fallen in love with New Zealand from listening and reading the many books set there. The narrators are excellent and complement the story and each other.

I enjoyed it so much!

I love all of the Kiwi books! The descriptions of the all the towns and cities make me feel as if I've been there myself. Its actually number 1 on my bucket list because of them. I love how she can take a situation and put so many spin offs in it. In kiwi gold she goes in to religion, death, birth of multiple babies, single parents and so much more. It keeps you unable to put it down. I did lose some sleep trying to listen to just a little but more. I also love hearing the characters from her prior books in them, but if you haven't read them it's fine because it's not a sequel.
As always I can't wait for her next book!!!!!
As for the narrators I always think Emma Wilder is so amazing. She can easily do many voices old,young, male, female. She's one of my favorite narrators.
Tom Janson was a great addition. I didn't think I would like the dual narrators but I surprisingly enjoyed it.
Although I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own and I would have definitely purchased it on my own.

Funny and sad and everything in between!

Layla and Lachlan have many family issues to make it through before they can make it to each other . The story of how they do so is funny and sad and everything in between . There are surprises no one could see coming even the main characters. Both of them have issues - all of this together makes a great story that keeps you interested til the happy end . Having it in audio just makes it even better !

An Entertaining and Heartwarming New Zealand Roman

Another wonderful unique New Zealand romance from Rosalind James! I initially became a fan of Rosalind James because I loved her sports romance series, often set in New Zealand. Rosalind has a knack for writing fascinating characters with varied backgrounds, so every story is one of a kind. The New Zealand Ever After series has included a variety of great characters with their stories of finding a wonderful life partner.

Kiwi Gold is no exception, with Laila, a widow who had been raised traditionally Muslim, trying to make an independent life for herself and her two young daughters; and Lachlan, an independent geologist who was raised in a non-traditional household. Laila and Lachlan are a study in contrasts, but are drawn to each other from their first meeting. Their relationship story is heavily influenced by the families they were raised in, which add conflict and humor to their budding romance.

A major treat in Kiwi Gold is to spend time with favorite characters from the previous New Zealand Ever After books, especially with Poppy, who is a close friend to Laila.

The Kiwi Gold audiobook was a great listen. Emma Wilder and Tom Janson did an excellent job bringing the story to life - from the friendly banter among friends, to the strained and tense situations to the sweet and steamy romantic interludes.

I highly recommend the Kiwi Gold ebook, and the audibook.
