Resumen del Editor

Writer's block, nibbled nails, plagiarism, oh my! And did I mention romance?

Life for Adda Sinclaire, New York Times best-selling author and historical romance writer extraordinaire, reads more like a country song than a breathless, bodice-bursting affair. For starters, she has no romance in her own life.

That might have something to do with the fact that her husband - correction, ex-husband - ran off with Stick Woman, whom everyone knew would never be more than a mid-list author anyway. To add insult to injury (and another verse to the country song), her ex not only took their dog but gave it to Stick Woman. If that isn't enough, Adda has come down with a horrible case of writer's block, finds herself gifted with a Bible that is determined to speak to her, and is the unwitting target of a romance cover model's misdirected advances.

Just when she catches her breath-and quite possibly the eye of a certain fabulously good-looking man (ahem...her new editor) - her arch-nemesis gives the pot one final stir.

An Interesting and Funny Journey

I really enjoyed this romp through a romance writer's life. It is well writing and easily pulls in some Christian themes without getting "preachy". Not sure what one reviewer is referring to. The epilogue has an interview where the fictional interviewer asks the audience (the reader) some questions. This is a marvelous example of "inspirational" fiction. I encourage you to check it out.

spectacular

Tamara Leigh took me for journey I really enjoyed. Being an author is something she understands but not something I know. her conflicts and conflict resolution felt good as well as her character development. I did not feel I needed to fix anything.

The World Of Romance Novelists

I have never enjoyed a storyline more. I was so engaged, that I listened to the book in its entirety in one day. It was intriguing, romantic, suspenseful, and humorous all rolled into one. It also gave you a bird's eye view of how we view people and stigmatize them. It was also a reminder of how highly we think of ourselves, but we're really not "all that" and a bag of chips. I salute Ms. Leigh for presenting a modern story, that enthralled me, even though I'm more of a fan of her medieval writings. Mary Sarah is a terrific narrator and is a whiz at doing all of the voices accurately throughout the book. I own all of Ms. Leigh 's other audiobooks, and I'm not sure why it took me so long to take a chance on this one. I'm glad that I finally did. Thanks Audible.

Love this author/ narrator combo

I enjoy this author/narrator so much, thought it was about time I write a review. To all my fellow navigators of romanic fiction. If you enjoy traveling to another time and place in style and avoiding the gutter, then Tamara's books are for you. Clean and fun. I have not been disappointed. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Great!

I would love to read more Christian chick lit from Tamara Leigh. I have recently rediscovered this series as well as the Carolina series. I actually still have paper backs of the Carolina series from years ago. I’m going to check out Mrs Leighs other books but would love for this genre to really come back.

Sarcastic sassy Heroine

I loved this book as an ebook and I've just finished listening to the narrated version. I couldn't stop listening! The narration was excellent and was just how I heard the characters in my head. Well except for the male characters, they were a little strange hearing a woman's voice deepening to portray it, but I soon got used to it.

I really enjoy Tamara Leigh's historical novels, and I also enjoyed this contemporary novel

Touching

I will admit, when I first started listening to this book I thought perhaps this is a book that is better if it is read on paper. But I was wrong. This book is charming. Adda is sassy, articulate, and whitty. I truly enjoyed getting to know her and watching her faith develop.

Best writer ever!

Her stories are poetry. You cannot help but sink into the heart ache and triumph of her characters. Laugh, cry and love without the graphic depictions. Tamarac tales will enrich your life. Don't miss any of her books you'll want audible and print copies to read over and over again.

Fun, honest, moving

A fun and entertaining book with honest and thoughtful characters. The plot was well developed and it was excellently read.

My new favorite by Tamara Leigh

This is my second contemporary read from Tamara Alexandra. I read nearly all her medieval fiction, for the most part I really like them.

I was reading this fiction along with the book captivating by Stasi Eldridge a non fiction, simultaneously.
Wow it was quite powerful together as I dealt with hurts in my own life (thanks Stasi) and ran to my fiction love story only to find Tamara's character Adda hitting a crushing point of abandonment in her life (thanks Tamara). Then I cried, and cried, and then cried some more. God was out to get me no matter which book I read, (thanks Jesus).

I must also say that ms agliotta is also the most gifted narrator I have heard and adds so much life to ms Leigh's characters. It's much funnier when she does the narration as oppose to the voice in my head.
