What keeps happening

Previously I read the Bachelors series and enjoyed it very much. I started this series with book 2. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy that book at all. I was so surprised that around ch 10 the FMC turned immature and unlikable! All the situations & POVs were illogical. But I had previous liked the author, so I put that book aside and thought I'd give book 1 a try. Book 1, Chapters 1-9 were fantastic, silly funny but well told. Then we get to ch 10 again and the same thing happens, the FMC looses her mind! w-t-frig? All of a sudden she hates the guy because she irrationally
. 🙄 All is based on hearsay from an Uncle treats her abominablly and she detests! Why would you ever believe anything that came out of that uncle's mouth?
Even if you are leary of him, then proceed with caution. Do not recklessly start accusing a man who holds you fate in his hands? To become so violently angry doesn't make any sense at all. IRL only people with mental issues react this way. It feels lazy to me that the author just wants to rush in and SPLAT all the garbage out at once rather than build tension to allow us readers to identify with the characters or at minimum to understand their actions and intentions. Then after we, the audience, have struggled through all the muck of her misplaced childish rage , we get to a very rushed ending. This should have been the arc of the book but instead its just a few lines of completion leave a ton of unresolved threads. It's hard not to feel cheated! However, I had to remember that unlike some of the older brides in Boyle's books Georgie really is just 20years old and only 19 when she met Colin... so in that spirit, I can forgive her insanity... not sure if I can forgive E.B. but Overall i liked the love affair between this couple. I just disappointed in the scattering of open storylines E.B. haphazardly throws about.

Amazing story plot!

The author really knows how to grab a reader's attention and keep it! I've been trying to find books that begin with adventure/drama and it keeps building as the book goes along. Too many books are so much dialog and no action. This book was action from the very beginning and it just kept getting better! I'll definitely be reading/listening to more of this author's books!

I had so much fun listening to this story!!!

The author and the narrator never disappoint me. The story is sad but the brave two sisters are so funny… I wonder about the next story now?

great but...

I over the story, BUT

it felt like the author ran out of time and quickly tied up the loose ends. perhaps some of the things we didn't get resolutions for will be addressed in the next book. For example, is ANYTHING done to her uncle for how he did Georgie and her sister?

a great adventure with surprising twists

Boyle begins her story with intensity and passion then it flowed into an amazing adventure. the female characters are intelligent and talented. the hero and other dominate male characters are well-defined with logical motives. Duerden read the book with expression. I could hardly put it down because I couldn't wait to see how Boyle was going to resolve the plight. it didn't disappoint and there wasn't anything typical about it.

Great book but narrator needs improvement!

I love audible books but some narrators should practice and listen to themselves first. This one has a cadence that’s very annoying and it makes it hard to listen to. Good book though.

Don't waste a credit

The plot unbelievable, the characters had no chemistry and not even Susan Duerden's narration could save it.

Same story as the rest

The beginning of the story was good but as usual you have a female that is ridiculous. Instead of asking questions she assumes she is right. Would like to see the heroine be more sensible. I couldn't finish this book because the heroine tore my nerves up. I love this author but I just couldn't stomach Georgie any longer than Chapter 14.
