Not For Sale

De: Cynthia Dane, Hildred Billings

Narrado por: Erin Bateman

One not-so-simple renovation project is about to get dirty....

Nobody knows how flip like Reese, a woman with nothing to prove to her family of real estate kings. When her mother's chronic affliction almost claims her life again, Reese knows that there's only one way to save her family.

All she needs is a leave of absence from the corporate office in San Francisco and a toolbox full of lesbian stereotypes.

Has fate finally come to rural Oregon?

Kimberly is a mild-mannered property manager who only wants to do her job and go home to her nosy parents...

And fall in love, because a woman can only be untouched for so long!

Reese's unruly and disruptive renovation projects promise to make Kimberly's life hell. Too bad she's enamored with the handywoman from the moment they lock eyes.

The feeling? Absolutely mutual.

Life's about to get more interesting - and sensual - in a sleepy Oregonian beach town!

This was so cute and fluffy!

I really liked it! A warm and happy romantic comedy with good chemistry between all the characters

Best listened to at .85x or .90x

The narrator is fine, but she rushes through the story like a racehorse. slowing down 10-15% makes it much more enjoyable. Hopefully the narrator learns over time to take is slower and let listeners savor her skills. :-)

I love the location of the story. Brookings is one of my favorite stomping grounds.

This story is about adults?

If you like cheesy, adults that act and talk like they are 17 then this book is for you. Narration makes them sound like teens. One of the main characters sounds so naïve, simple, and a huge airhead. The other one is an out of touch rich girl who says she’s not rich even though her family has a huge real estate empire. The sex scenes are so immature and cheesy. Super cringe! I haven’t even finished it yet and there are 2.5 left and I’m not sure I can finish it.

Great Place

to sell a condo in not So. Korean town USA. Witty, funny, and hot and steamy. Korean meets Metaterian. Everything you can expect for Dane and Billings.

Great listen..

I really liked this book. Interesting story with diverse characters. The narration was excellent with the different accents.

Enjoyed the story

This is a new author for me, I enjoyed the story and the narration was good other than I had problems distinguishing when I character was thinking something or saying it. I'm not sure if that was the writing, the narration or just me. I will definitely check out other stories from this author\narrator.

Absolutely Great audiobook!

5 ⭐ for narrator and of course for the story! def recommend if you enjoy this genre!

Readers pitch needed to be a little heavier. Story book tale over done no real surprise.

Not Very Interesting

I wasn’t going to write a review for this, but since there aren’t any I figured I might as well.

The story had a few interesting moments. Mostly the scenes with the MCs and their families. The interactions between Kimberly and Reese just hurt to listen to. Seriously, ouch! There were SOOO many awkward moments between them. And not the funny quirky kind of awkwardness.

The story was also kind of boring. I found myself constantly having to rewind because I zoned out. Both of the MCs seemed adolescent and just plain uninteresting. I didn’t really care about them or their (seemingly) forced relationship. I honestly don’t see what they saw in each other. They didn’t have much in common or similar interests, and by the end, I was just ready for the book to be over so I could move on.

The narrator didn’t help the story. IMHO, she may have even taken away from it. Not sure if it was the writing or the narrator that contributed to the juvenile tone of the story but I wasn’t a fan. And her accents were terrible. Some of them weren’t too bad (Kimba’s mom) when she only had to speak a word or 2, but for prolonged monologue it was just bad.

This was the 2nd book I’ve listened to from these coauthors. I enjoyed the first one (Kiss and Tell) and thought that narrator was much better and fitting for the story. I’d probably buy another book from them because I liked that one but I am going to return this one. Hope this helps.

Happy Reading :)
