Publisher's summary

When Brandi Michaels discovers her fiancé hopping a flight to Vegas to marry his girlfriend, she pawns her engagement ring, buys herself a fabulous outfit, and spends one sultry night in the arms of a gorgeous Italian stranger named Roberto Bartolini. When Brandi becomes the mark for a killer, she has no choice but to turn to Roberto – a man who’s destined to be either her savior or her downfall. But one thing’s for sure: She’s not going down without a fight.

Really fun book that kept me guessing!

What did you love best about Trouble in High Heels?

Really enjoyed this book. This was a new author to me that I tried during a sale, and I'm glad I did! The story was solid with a few LOL's, but the mystery kept me guessing almost until the very end. If you like Janet Evanovich type chic lit, you will enjoy this book!

What other book might you compare Trouble in High Heels to and why?

Janet Evanovich books...fun mystery with a little romance blended in

Meh.

The book was fine. I enjoyed it from start to finish, but it took me several months to make it through. This was a book that I could only tolerate in small doses, it was just to trite and obvious. I wanted to like it, it had all the elements that I want it this kind of book: the mystery, the romance, the doodah of an ex; but the whole was not more than the sum of its parts. It was not a waste of a credit, but just be aware that this is what I often refer to as a "cotton candy" book. Light, obnoxiously sweet, and only to be handled in smallish bites.

A Jewel Thief Italian Count, and Lovely Lady Lawer

What made the experience of listening to Trouble in High Heels the most enjoyable?

I liked the relationship development, they were a great team. I did not especially care of the Narrators version of an aristocratic italian count accent and speech patterns, but it was not so bad that it keep me from enjoying the story.

Cute

If you could sum up Trouble in High Heels in three words, what would they be?

Funny, fast moving, charming

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the main characters.

Have you listened to any of Amanda Ronconi’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. She did a fine job, except the Count's accent.

Any additional comments?

I have read several of Christina Dodds historical romances, so being a little familiar with her books decided to take a chance on this one. As with the Regency books, this one has the Italian Count instead of a Duke, Earl etc. It is a modern fun, light hearted take on the same type of book. Sometimes this type fits the bill after serious books. I enjoyed it.

Sweet Romance, Good Mystery

What made the experience of listening to Trouble in High Heels the most enjoyable?

The heroine, she was funny and she took no mess from anybody. She's a hoot to listen to when she dealt with everybody.

What did you like best about this story?

Who killed the pawn shop owner and why? I was really intrigued to see how that was going to end.

Any additional comments?

Good book, narrator is okay, but the story is so good it makes up for it.

Light reading

It was a cute story, a pleasant way to spend a few hours. The mother daughter relationship was well thought out and worked well into storyline. The romance was predictable.

The narrator had quite a few characters to portray and did a fairly good job with most but she should avoid Italian accents in the future...
