Critic reviews

"Well written...I loved No Strings Attached and recommend it wholeheartedly." ( The Lesbian Review)

Great narration

after listening to hundreds of books and enjoy lesbian literature, I learned to appreciate a good narrator. No matter how good a book is, a narrator can give you either a good experience or disappointing one. In this occasion I think the narration added value to the story and elevated it.

Simple toward simplistic

Late in life coming out out story. Sweet but nothing to it. I’m not sure how they have built a whole series on this.

Great book.

This was a really good middle age coming out story. It delt with real life issues. it delt with how hard it can be to have a sexual friends only relationship. It had a really good mix of sub characters. The Author did well keeping me engaged and interested. The flow of the story was really smooth.
The nartation was better than I expected. Me being an Abby Craden Fan Girl.
I have to say the only thing I didn't like was ...
The sudden ending , and the short time robin had with the kids.
other than that I loved it.
you have to read it for yourself, it's worth it.

Great story

I remember my coming out and the worry and struggles I had. I found myself excited for these woman and actually cried too. The humor was entertaining and kind of took some of the edge off some of the intensity ar times. I would have liked to have seen a bit more depth given to the women who owned the coffee shop. maybe next time. Excellent as a audio book. Narrator could read to me anytime. loved it.

No Strings Attached

Well this was an enjoyable story about a divorced mom who is discovering her attraction to women after a long marriage.
The story flowed along nicely. It almost seems like it was page after page of some very detail sexual encounters. I was surprised at how much sexual activity there was. It wasn’t too much just more than usual. I liked it and I would recommend it.

The narration was of course spot on.

real life another 5 stars for me

The characters in this book or so spot on for me. It kept me wanting more. This actually could be a true life book which of course keeps my interest. The narrator did a fabulous job and of course the topic of the book just hit home for me.

An Amazing Read

I completely enjoyed this read ❤️. I loved the characters and the storyline leaves the reader compelled to keep coming back!!!! I encourage any new reader to try this book—then continue on with, “The Pink Bean” series. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy 😉.

Loved It

This was a good story. It was very detailed. I did not want to put my phone down.

Great book

If you’re a “late-bian” as referenced in this book as coming out later in life... this book is for you. The main character is a 44 divorced mother of 2. This is a positive book to read. One of Harpers more innocent stories. Great nonetheless. Angela Dawe is good. Only thing I was a tad bit disappointed in as far as the narration went was I’ve heard Angela Dawe speak with some impeccable accents in other books (specifically her renditions of Lee Winters stories) and I know she can pull off Australian accents. I was surprised she went with typical American English voices instead. Specifically for the main character, who is Australian. Still great narration regardless. Great book. Hopefully this series gets even better from here.
Onto book #2 😃

Enjoyed it very much.

Well developed characters and a good story. I will be sure to listen to the next book in the series.

Great

It is a great book and well narrated. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great story

Great story that you could hear over and over again. Looking forward on hearing the next book of the series.
