Hold on My Heart

By: Tracy Brogan

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

To build a future, sometimes you have to tear down the past... Chicago event planner Libby Hamilton can turn any bland setting into a dramatic venue - but when she abruptly loses her job, and her fair-weather boyfriend moves to another state, Libby suddenly finds herself back in the tiny town she grew up in. Worse than that, her father wants help transforming an old schoolhouse into a vintage ice cream parlor and Libby must trade in her power suits for power tools.

Widowed restoration specialist Tom Murphy can rebuild just about anything - except the shattered relationship he shares with his teenaged daughter. Hired by Libby’s father, Tom isn’t interested in sharing the details of his personal life with the beautiful, spunky Libby. He just wants to get the job done. But she is tenacious - and sexy - and it doesn’t take long before she breaks down his walls, builds up his hope, and gets a hold on his heart that won’t let go.

Hold on

It was a slow start but i love a great love story. A lot of ups and downs..,glad i kept reading.

Okay story, but narration was stiff.

The dialogue was performed well enough, but I found the narration unnatural, stilted and awkward.

Narrator voice too irritating

Loved the story but the narrator's intonation was nasal and she drug out the end ing of every sentence. almost couldn't finish the book.

Nagging, Overdramatic voice ruins the story

Would you consider the audio edition of Hold on My Heart to be better than the print version?

absolutely not!! I could barely handle listening to it. I started the book through the audio version and thought I hated the book, but then I read some and it was much better. I only listed to it for parts when I couldn't read and I really wanted to find out what happened next.

What other book might you compare Hold on My Heart to and why?

I have read and listened to all of Tracy Brogan's books and they are all great on paper. I have hear this voice in one other book (not Tracy Brogan's) and I hated it there too.

Would you be willing to try another one of Angela Dawe’s performances?

No!! I will look for her name and try to avoid the audio version of those books as much as possible!

Surprised at how good book is

I really enjoyed Ms Brogan’s writing. Very down to earth & funny! I laughed out loud several times. Quite witty! I will read more of her books!
