Generic and predictable...

I bought this based on the other reviewers but really wished I wouldn't have! It was predictable and generic..the characters were weak, the voices the narrator used were annoying and didn't fit the characters. I couldn't finish it...

Narration terrible

I am on part two, a total of about 7 or so hours in and the female character starts and continues to sound like some insipid weak character who has a high squeeky voice with odd pauses in her sentences like "I (pause) dont (pause) know (pause) what (pause) you are (pause) talking (pause) about." You get the point. The irony is this woman is suppose to be so strong and tough and has been through so much and to make her sound like a little meak thing makes it just awful. The male is OK but could be better. I have heard great narration before and this is not one.

The storyline I like, but it is really hard to get through and at this point i am only finishing it to not feel like i totally wasted my money

This audiobook could have been Really Good with a different narrator.

Overall...

Overall this was an intriguing story.
What I couldn’t handle was Maggies’s whining over and over about her stretch marks, her saggy breasts. Over & over !!!
Drove me bonkers.
Otherwise was entertaining

ok

The story of Baby Love was very good but could have been great. I know I will never listen to it more than once. There narriators vocalization of the heroin was so weak. It reminded me of the "Kung Foo" 70s TV show. I could over look it once, not again.

Narrators voice detracts from story

I really wanted to like this book. I tried to see past the annoying voices, especially Rafe, but I couldn't. The heroine was too weak. With one chapter left in the book I gave up.

ok storyline, bad narration

loved the strength of the main characters and the family. narrator made the woman sound 10 and the man like an old perv.

Heroine was a whiny wuss

The performance made a character that I had previously considered strong seem mealy and weak.

Heart Warming

Loved this story, the narrator Suzanne Toren, one of my favorites, brings all the people to life.

stirring novel

My first book from C. Anderson and I very much liked it, will definitely look for others! The usual romantic story, with the broad-shouldered man be the hero for the weak female. It has some thrilling bits, sometimes almost a bit too horrid and realistic, but then it gets very romantic also. I especially liked the description of the landscape and the harsh weather conditions.
The narrator did quite well, though it's never easy speaking such a variety of characters, especially towards the end.

good book, terrible narrator

I loved this book when I read it, but the narrator was so bad that she ruined it for me. She read the main character, Maggie, with an annoying simpering falsetto. I did like her male voices, but unfortunately, that's only half the time. I would suggest a pass on this one.

Baby love

Lovely story kept me on the edge of my seat , Catherine Anderson at her finest great story line and wonderful characters
