Just Like Heaven

De: Julia Quinn

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

Once again, #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn transports her readers to historical romance heaven! Quinn’s Just Like Heaven is the dazzling first installment of a delightful quartet of Regency Era-set tales featuring the romantic exploits of the well-meaning but less-than-accomplished Smythe-Smith musicians—in this case, a beautiful violinist in the pitiful group who has her sights set on marrying the last unwed Bridgerton…unless her handsome, love-struck guardian has anything to say about it. Bridgerton fans will cry, “Encore!”—as will every reader who adores England’s Regency period and great love stories that are smart, witty, and lighthearted.

The best part of the book was the narrator

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I didn't love this book, and had to push myself to finish it. I thought it would get better, but it was only mediocre.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Rosalyn Landor?

Rosylyn Landor is my favorite reader, so I always look for titles that she narrates.

Any additional comments?

I don't think I'd purchase another by this author.

Pleasant stiry, fm gray as always narrator!

Not quite as steamy as some of the romance novels (not a bad thing!) just a cute love story, with more humor about the Smythe-Smith musicale! I basically love anything Rosalyn Landor narrates...she gets all the voices just right.

Great dialog

My favorite part of Ms. Quinn's books is the humorous dialog. Strong characters, supporting actors, & of course Ms. Danbury

Its just ok

I wanted to love thia book but much of the time i was waitkng for it to get to the end. The narration was perfect, the story was ok, but Im hesitant to buy another of these books unless on sale.

The story is just like heaven!

I found nothing to dislike about the story! You couldn’t help but fall in love with the main characters. Loyalty, kindness, love and family pride is all wrapped up in this beautiful story. I enjoyed reading it not just once, but twice and more. Will be one of my top favorites!

Romantic

I love the narrator!! Simply amazing performance. I’m always eager to listen to the next one.

A sweet listen

Typical of the series, but enjoyable nonetheless. Honória is a sweetheart that would be great to see on the bridgerton Netflix series.

Ok, but also a bit annoying

I found the first part of the story okay, but started to get a bit annoyed over time with the over-use of the main female character’s name. It seemed that the author couldn’t be bothered to come up with a good way to describe Marcus’ adoration and thus just kept him repeating her name. In addition, I don’t appreciate that the author writes Marcus would no longer be able to control himself when the two started making out. That’s perpetuating a stereotype of men’s uncontrollable sex drive and is one of the “excuses” used by perpetrators of sexual violence. In my opinion, a line like that is not romantic or hot, it’s dangerous and should not be used. There are plenty of other ways to describe his passion for her.

SO GOOD!

I missed the Bridgerton books. I re-read them all twice and found out there are spin offs! The book was so good, I binged this in 3 nights. Couldn’t go to bed. Hoping they make a spin off show with these books.

Lovely story.

Another great story by Julia Quinn. Loved the characters. Only negative: Its was over too quick.
