Just Like Heaven

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I love the story, the cheekiness of the heroine, the comedy in the tale, and of course the romantic happily ever after.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The heroine, because she is smart, funny, self-deprecating and optimistic.

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

Different people experience humour differently, so when I read the book, I found certain things funny, but listening to Rosalyn read the book emphasized different things that I might not have picked up on before.

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

I did laugh out loud on many occasions. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Any additional comments?

I love this author, I loved this narrator, and I will listen to anything by both of them!

LOVE THIS SERIES!!!

I love this series so much I have listened to it now 3 times. I'm so happy Audible has received the last book to the series. If u have never listened to Julia Quinn books this is the series to start with. Each book gets better and better and u can't wait to get to the next book. I love all of the people in these books. I hope u enjoy the series as much as I do. The narrator is amazing I enjoy Roselyn and how u can tell each character as she reads. HAPPY LISTENING 😊😊.

Sweet Story

I always enjoy Rosalyn Landor’s narrations. The story is a sweet one with some funny moments.

witty and fun worth buying

while i wish it was longer, this was a great book. very witty dialog, and the audio performance was fantastic.

The story is a sad love story...no romance!!!

loved the characters Honoria & Marcus...at the beginning was so excited for Marcus's male character then it all went down with the foot injury only to get another small glimpse at the proposal concert. the injury took over the romance...they had a quickie at concert which was supposed to be "just like heaven" it would have been nice to get a glimpse of their happiness and heaven again.
Julia got lazy on this one sorry!

Love it

This was a sweet story that I have listened to twice:-) . I love Marcus he is amazing and Anoria…

Captivating

Captivating love story yet again. Beautiful and descriptive their love brought smiles to my face.

One of My Favorite Authors and Narrators

This is a sweet, "quiet" read without the thrills and chills required by some readers. In the style of a Georgette Heyer this is a wonderful character study full of family situations and the wit so wonderfully written by Julie Quinn. Rosalyn Landor is one of my favorite narrators, in the top echelon of narrators, and her work here does not disappoint in any way. I loved her work on this book and as always was so awed by her talent and ability. I look forward to future books by Ms. Quinn about some of the characters in this book and hope that Ms. Landor is the narrator.

Glad I stayed with it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a light and fun story. It begins to drag a bit in the middle and you will want to help the characters along. But stay with it -- you will be glad you did.

What did you like best about this story?

The ending is charming and surprising. The story comes back around to a true crescendo. I was smiling all through the last.

What about Rosalyn Landor’s performance did you like?

Rosalyn is consistent, she defines each character well making it easy to dive into the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the ending musical. Delightful.

Beautiful romance with lots of humor and charm.

Julia Quin did it again.....a masterpiece. Great story that moved at a perfect pace with great characters who kept my attention. Rosalyn Landor and Julia Quinn are a perfect pair.
