Catch a Kiwi

New Zealand Ever After, Book 6

By: Rosalind James

Narrated by: Emma Wilder, Calum Gittins

Breathe, smile, and move on. When you’re writing the next chapter in your rags-to-riches-to-rags story, you need about a million quotes like that. I might have been short on inspiration, but I had determination. That was it, except for a very young cousin and a very old campervan, but I was all about starting over. Nobody knew me in New Zealand other than a series of café and motel managers, and anonymity suited me fine. Manlessness suited me even finer.

Until the day when that campervan rolled down a South Island hillside in a tropical cyclone and trapped my cousin Delilah inside, and an extremely rude stranger helped me get her out. Now, I had no campervan and possibly even less inspiration. I still had determination, though. Determination not to let one Roman D’Angelo, no matter how rich or bossy he might be, run my life or mess with my inner peace. I was serene. I was independent. I was in control.

I was in so much trouble.

I Love Returning to Rosalind James’ New Zealand

Before its release, I had been looking forward to listening to the audio version of the latest Rosalind James book, Catch a Kiwi, and I was not disappointed as I enjoyed it very much. With the New Zealand setting and so many returning characters from previous books, it was a lot like coming home. The book touched on many themes, not the least was about new beginnings, whether geographically, emotionally, mentally and so on. The narration is excellent and does so much to bring the written words to life. It is a very enjoyable and entertaining book and fans of the romance genre, especially those who are fans of Rosalind James’ work, will love it. If I have any criticism, I think it ran a bit too long and that brought a bit of repetition. A solid four stars.

I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. I was neither compensated nor expected to write a positive review. The opinions stated are solely my own.

never cried so much

this book was a ruff start for me. but oh boy I'm so glad I stayed with it. I love how Rosalind brought so many characters together in this beautiful book.

From Pauper to Princess and back again

I enjoyed the story line and enjoyed that the characters were gently flawed. At first I thought the romance was evolving to rapidly. But this is Rosalind’s storytelling, I should have known better. It’s an interesting story with twists and turns and a few worthy cringe moments. And for good measure a few spicy moments. Roselind’s stories are always worth a good read.

this book is a hoot

this book is a hoot the main characters Roman and Summer seem to spark of each other and they each have there own baggage and Summer's cousin in a hoot

you will also catch up with some old friends if you have read or listened to Rosalind's other books in this series Koro, Hemi, Hope, Matiu, Poppy, Grey and Daisy

so if you like a rollercoaster of a ride when reading a book then this book is definitely for you as it is definitely a rollercoaster as characters in this book are definitely characters and you come to love and hate them and then love them again

I look forward to the next book in the series

Rosalind James never disappoints

Both the MC are strong, independent, and accomplished but have been hurt before. The characters are multi-dimensional and likable. We get to see beloved people from earlier books that are part of an extended family. I appreciate that this author's books are longer than many contemporary romances so we get to know and feel these individuals - I admit that I get attached and don't want the books or series to end!

I have learned so much about New Zealand, its culture and Maori traditions that I would love to visit.

Narrator Emma Wilder is awesome, and along with the male narrator (his name has slipped my miy) seem to do a good job with accents, though I haven't heard enough Kiwis' to know for sure.
