THE CAMERA LINES

A WONDERFUL SWEET ROM COM, THE NARRATION WAS GREAT, AND FUN TO LISTEN TO! I CANNOT WAIT TO LISTEN TO MORE THIS AUTHOR!

Fun Listen

This is a fun and quirky listen with a whole cast of interesting characters that I enjoyed. I do feel like there were a few side characters that might have had their own stories but I'm not certain. Overall it's a sweet little romance with good narration and a light and playful listen.

8 male models and 1 feisty photographer.

A young photographer takes on 8 male models. Her job is to follow them for 1 month. Live with them........ in her own wing of the mansion. She is confident, feisty and very good at her job. She earns the respect of the guys.
A fun and funny book that deals with some serious issues. No sex or bad language.
Loved the narrator. Perfect pacing. Lots of characters. Lots of voices. She brought them to life for me.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Story Origin.

Funny and Emotional!

This is the third book in the Life in Chatswain City Series, a Romantic Comedy. Esmeralda's story is funny and emotional. She is a beautiful character, feisty, kind, and supportive. I liked the humor in the story. The side characters are interesting. I liked Esmeralda's triplet sisters. Michelle Croll did a great job bringing this story to life. Looking forward to listening to The Do Over, the next book in the series. #StoryOrigin

HILLARIOUS STORY. LOVED IT

STORY IS WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

ACCEPTABLE FOR TEENS AND UP. MOSTLY CLEAN.
HAS SCENCES WITH NAKEDNESS, DISCUSSES INDUSTY SEXUAL CRIMES WITH HANDS ON ENCOUNTERS.

FUNNY AND DRAMATIC THROUGHOUT. HAD TO LISTEN STRAIGHT THROUGH.

NARRATOR MICHELLE CROLL WAS GREAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW

Simply beautiful!

Josephine, Lola Louise and Esmeralda are triplets and Esmeralda owns the wedding photography business Truly Madly Love. She's had enough experience dealing with bridezillas, that it should be a piece of cake to spend a month shooting photos with a house full of models. What the modeling agency hadn't told her was that the 8 models she'd be sharing the house with were all gorgeous males. Mac Lee, head of the Lee Modeling Agency, is a woman on a mission; a mission to open a modeling agency with an entirely different business model. One that is dedicated to making the lives of the models better and worksites that are safer. She is tired of those companies that have models trembling in fear if they've gained a few pounds or those who find themselves in uncomfortable situations, but that's all for the future. For now, she's entering a competition that, if she wins, will earn her a full spread in a fashion magazine and wants Al as the photographer. As Al meets each of the models when she arrives at the house, their looks are the first thing she notices, but their personalities shine through. The emotions that flow through the characters cover all the highs and lows. This is a sweet and sexy story of sisterly love, deep friendships, falling in love, falling in like and the compassion Al shows in getting to the very soul of each of her brothers and her boyfriend. Yes, she falls in love and I wasn't expecting the one! Michelle Croll did a wonderful job with the narration. There were a dozen separate voices and I was able to keep everyone straight. Very well done!

Model's house

Loved it! It has a unique storyline, with some great characters. I am not into reality TV, but I could see this as if I was watching it on reality tv. I appreciated that the story is clean, and there is no bed hoping. The triplets all have individual personalities and separate lives, but are also intertwined.
Good story line with well-developed characters. I recommend this book to others who enjoy sweet and clean romances. Narration was great.

8 Male Models & 1 Woman Photographer Rom-Com

Parents- PG13- great for High school and up, drugs and eating disorders are a topic
Language- PG- pretty clean
Violence- PG- a couple fist fights
Sexual Content- PG13- Mostly couch snuggles and kissing, couples that live together but no bedroom romping in the book, there is a scene with naked male models (not described in detail), **trigger warning- molestation, sexual assault and rape is a topic but again not described in much detail

One spunky photographer that's dealing with her triplet sister going through breast cancer... She gets hired to do some documentary photography for a new model agency following a group of 8 male models, she must share the mansion with them for a month. There's so many quirky and fun characters and drama that goes on in the model realm that this was a lot of fun while dealing with some hard topics at the same time. Overall was a pretty clean and fun read.

Narrator- Did a great job, had good differentiation and was fun to listen to.

Very Cute RomCom

I enjoyed the 3rd book in the "Life In Chatswain City" series. Esmeralda Jacobson, a photographer, was given the chance to live in a mansion with gorgeous male models for a month. The story was fun and delightful. The characters were complicated. I appreciated that the author shined a light on some of the difficulties that plague the world of modeling. Michelle Croll's narration was fine and her performance kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
