Publisher's summary

In Spring Fever, the New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews delivers her delicious new escapist novel about small towns, old flames, and deep secrets

Annajane Hudgens truly believes she is over her ex-husband, Mason Bayless. They've been divorced for four years, she's engaged to a terrific new guy, and she's ready to leave the small town where she and Mason had so much history. She is so over Mason that she has absolutely no problem attending his wedding to the beautiful, intelligent, delightful Celia. But when fate intervenes and the wedding is called to a halt as the bride is literally walking down the aisle, Annajane begins to realize that maybe she's been given a second chance. Maybe everything happens for a reason. And maybe, just maybe, she wants Mason back. But there are secrets afoot in this small Southern town. On the peaceful surface of Hideaway Lake, Annajane discovers that the past is never really gone. Even if there are people determined to keep Annajane from getting what she wants, happiness might be hers for the taking, and the life she once had with Mason in this sleepy lake town might be in her future.

Critic reviews

“Kathleen McInerney perfectly presents this cheerful, funny story about second chances and true love. It's a story full of Southern charm and witty dialogue, and McInerney's Southern accents are well done. Her fake ‘sweet' voice for the villainous Ceila is enough to make one's teeth hurt, and everyone would love to have a best friend like Mason's determined sister, Pokey. A superior listen leaves one smiling.” —AudioFile Magazine

“Narrator Kathleen McInerney does the book proud, conferring subdued Southern accents on the Carolina natives and distinguishing between men and women with unobtrusive variations in key. She gives a pint-size, non-icky voice to a mystery child, Sophie, and a perky, uber-yummy Midwestern accent to the Nebraska-born manipulator, Celia. The book is a sparkler with just desserts and comeuppances dished all around.” —Newsday

“Kathleen McInerney's narration is clear, crisp, and appealing…The Southern accent she creates is effective in all its forms: soft and sweet or acerbic and cold. This entertaining, contemporary romance is perfect for light, summer listening.” —Publishers Weekly

Narration was fantastic.

This was a cute story. The delivery and narration was the best I have heard yet. I will be listening to more from this author.

My favorite

This is my favorite of all the Mary Kay Andrews books! You absolutely love it!

Love it! Great love story with plot twists.

I have listened to this one so many times. it's almost like an old friend. Love so many of the characters. And Kathleen McInernye is probably my favorite narrator.

What a well written story...what a nice change!

When I first started to listen, I was a little worried that I'd made a wrong choice, never having read any of Mary Kay's books before. However, as I got into it I realised what a clever writer she is and that I'd made a great choice. She has a keen sense of humour and knows how to tell an inhernantly female story, without it being stereotypical and 'chic lit' like. The narrator is very talented too. I think she may be one of the best narrators I've listened to, and I've listened to hundreds of audio books! The way she is able to tell the story so smoothly, all the while keeping the voices, characteristics and varied accents of each character in place; that is surely a real art. I have just downloaded 'my next listen' from this author. Maybe I've found a new author to add to my favourties list. They are not easy to come by.

Cute Story

Any additional comments?

This was a cute story set in small town North Carolina. I really enjoyed the way Andrews brought the characters to life. I didn't want to put the book down.

Loved this girly novel...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would!! It was a little cheesy, but I kept wanting to find out more and more. Wish they would make this book into a Hallmark or Lifetime movie. :)

Best MKA Book Yet!

The story was rich with a lot of ends that could have been left loose but MKA paid a lot of attention to tying up all loose ends. This was her best story BY FAR, and I have listened to over 15 of her books, including the entire Callahan Garrity series. Very entertaining and so well done!

A nice surprise

Well I personally am a huge fan of romantic comedies because they are a break from reality :) This book really delivered in a sweet story, with characters you come to "know, love and/or loathe", and it also delievered that far fetched perfect ending you find in most romantic comedies! I was really shocked with the SURPRISE that was eventually revealed near the end of the story. I look forward to reading other titles by this author.

loved this book!

What did you love best about Spring Fever?

Love the whole story line and how we may drift apart from good friends but it is so nice to know that you can always start back up where you left off!

What other book might you compare Spring Fever to and why?

I have been reading a few of Mary Kay's books and really like her writing.

What about Kathleen McInerney’s performance did you like?

i love the different way each character is preformed, you get the character just by her voice

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

it has a good few laughs and maybe a few tears

What a Southern Charm!!

Loved this story. Being from the south myself, I appreciated all the details that were incorporated into the dialogue. I also love the narrator!!! She is the reason why I got this book to begin with. She has a real talent in bringing the characters to life.
