Publisher's Summary

Award-winning poet Marisa de los Santos crafts an irresistibly touching debut novel. Love Walked In is a contemporary tale, steeped in nostalgic, cinematic charm, of love in all its forms.

Unapologetically idealistic about love, Cornelia Brown appears to catch the break of a lifetime when the dashing Martin Grace, her own personal Cary Grant, comes strolling into her life. But it is Martin's connection to 11-year-old Clare Hobbes that touches Cornelia's heart in ways she never imagined.

Dreadful audio quality

While the story was lovely and the characters engaging the whole book was ruined by poor audio quality. There were constant "breakthrough" laughs and chatter. Bad form for an expensive book.

Glad I had the paper book as well

Enjoyable story, but I was hoping for more focus on Clare. I did not enjoy the background noises, shuffling, laughing and swallowing of saliva. Also I imagined Dr B kinder than she interpreted it. Clare was read beautifully

Better when read instead of listened to

What disappointed you about Love Walked In?

"Belong to Me" is one of my favorite books, so I thought another one by the same author would be a no-brainer. After listening for a couple chapters, I realized I had read this book sometime in the past. I don't think I finished the book either.

If you’ve listened to books by Marisa de los Santos before, how does this one compare?

I've only read books by her before.

What didn’t you like about Jennifer Ikeda’s performance?

The voice she used for Martin made me nuts every time I heard it! It totally didn't fit with his "movie star" gorgeous persona.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Any additional comments?

I love Claire's character, but the rest are too "dreamy" to be believable.

maudlin

Tiresome. Trite. Dimestore philosophy and literary references that add nothing to story. A few cute scenes and characters wrapped around sentimental cliche.

REALLY good!!

After the other reviews I was hesitant to get this but I REALLY liked it! The narrators both capture the characters, the thoughts, the emotions, the tone. Cornelia is at first surprisng, and yet once you get to know her, the narrator sounds just like you think Cornelia should. And Claire's narrator,not a child at all, portrays the thoughts and feeling perfectly. There are some very poignant thoughts and the narrators really do bring to life the main characters. The interepretation of the male voices was not as great (especially Tao) but they're passable. The story is simple and yes, predictable, but the thoughts and the observations throughout are interesting, sweet, and touching and, I thought, worth the experience.

Great story, some definite production issues

Loved the story and the voices of the narrators. The production left something to be desired. Somewhere around chapter 8, background noises became obvious - laughter and conversations. On a couple of occasions, the narrator seemed to take a drink. I would have expected these issues to have been dealt with prior to finalizing this for sale.

Great book - well written, well narrated

What made the experience of listening to Love Walked In the most enjoyable?

Loved the whole story - flowed well

What does Jennifer Ikeda bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she brings life to Cornelia and does well with the other characters

Distracting Performance, Interesting Story

Would you try another book from Marisa de los Santos and/or Jennifer Ikeda?

I like Marisa's characters, but the performance was incredibly distracting--lots of saliva sounds and background noise from Claire's reader, and overacting in Cornelia's reader :/

Good story, but

I enjoyed this story but found it annoying that in many parts you could hear talking in the background. If that would have been fixed, it would have been much better.

Great story

Would you consider the audio edition of Love Walked In to be better than the print version?

I really liked this book. I think I would have liked the print version better for one reason. The voice of Cornelia was perfect. The voice of Claire did not fit and to make it worse, there was talking and laughing behind her voice. I found that very distracting. If I hadn't liked the story so much I would have quit.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Love Walked In?

The realization of love was one of my favorite moments. When love just hit.

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

This book almost made me cry. It was definitely a story that pulled me in and moved me.
