Life After Perfect

Boot Creek

De: Nancy Naigle

Narrado por: Mary Robinette Kowal

Katherine Barclift had it all: the perfect job, the perfect car, and what she thought was the perfect marriage. But when her entire world collapses in one stomach-churning instant, she hits the road and keeps driving until that so-called "perfect life" is just a dot in her rearview mirror.

A chance encounter leads her to make a pit stop in Boot Creek, a drowsy little North Carolina town where she can call herself Katy, soak up the peace and quiet...and drink in the bluer-than-blue eyes of Derek Hansen, a local doctor still wrestling with his own painful past. Both Katy and Derek are wary about giving romance another shot, but they can't deny the intense attraction between them. And if being in Boot Creek has taught them anything, it's to take life as it comes and never pass up a chance at true love...no matter how wounded your heart may be.

Narrator overplayed

I enjoyed the story although the narrator was distracting.
Mary Robinette-Kowel has a lovely reading voice. Had she relaxed into the read rather than trying so hard to give each character a distinctive voice I could have happily gotten lost in the story. My imagination is capable of creating character voices if given a chance. If MRK did a redo, I would gladly listen.

Average summer read

it was just ok . Needed something a little less deep. i got what i paid for.

Great story terrible performance

Loved the storyline but was turned-off by the “male voice” performances, so much so that I almost stopped listening and return the book at his introduction. If you can get beyond the performance, a captivating and emotional story.

Loved it!

I want to hang out with Katy and Angie! I love a strong female lead. Nancy, this is my favorite, and in my opinion, your best writing so far. Can't wait to see what's next.

Will tug on your heartstrings

Beautiful love story about surviving an ending of one thing and finding a way to move forward. beautifully written, characters are well created and the story flows well. I teared up on several occasions for most of the characters, not just the H/h. The narrator does an excellent job of bringing this story to life. Very good book.
