Nora Roberts does it again!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I'd have to say that I enjoyed Gran the best. Her independence and spunk is something that I wish I will have at her age.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Peter Berkrot?

This would depend on the type of book he's narrating. In my opinion he's not one for romantic books. It took me a while to get use to his gruff narration. But after 15 minutes I enjoyed it.

Any additional comments?

This is a typical Nora Roberts book and her usual character plots. Her humor and her touch of mystery are spot on.. Which is why I enjoy reading her books. This is the first time that I listened to one of her books on audio.

Swept Away

Fast moving storyline. Loved the strong characters. The lead female character's pushiness was a little over the top but I guess it worked for this situation. Enjoyed the narrator's accented nuances for the various characters.

Excellence

Nora Roberts is a true storyteller, she winds a tale so thoroughly. Grabbing your attention from the first sentence until the last. Suspense, romance and twists.

Good Mystery

Love it. Abra was great! she stole the roll in this book. i would lidten to iy again.

Whiskey Beach

This book was amazing. The ending could have been a bit better but very good storyline.

Nice twist at end.

Good story over all. Nice twist at the end. Liked all characters with story. The narrator did an excellent job with his variety of voices. Not the first time I listened to his narration.

Good plot; terrible, terrible narration

I'm sure the narrator does well with some genres and has a nice voice, but the women's voices he did for this book were so bad beyond belief that it really took away from the story. I was not sure how to rate, because the book itself is good Robert's fare, but the narration was so terrible that I'd recommend someone just read the book instead of listening.

Enjoyed the story

I don’t like language I enjoyed the the book. It was predictable but I enjoyed it

Nora Roberts is great

loved it, as always Ms. Roberts kept me interested all the way to the end

Narrator

I’m only a couple chapters into this book so I can’t accurately review the story but I can tell you my feelings on the narrator. I HATE his voice. It’s not that he has a terrible voice but it does not at all match up with a Nora Roberts story. He sounds like he’s in the middle of telling a joke the entire time. I keep waiting for the punch line. And his “lady voice”!?!?!? It sounds almost exactly like Adam Sandler’s voice when he’s pretending to be a grandma. It’s beyond distracting. I’ve never written a review about the narrator, or even had any strong feelings about the narrator but every time I turn this book on it makes me crazy. I hate it. I LOVE Nora Roberts so I’m desperately trying to get through this book but the voice is so distracting that I couldn’t even tell you what the plot is beyond can’t think about anything but cheesy comedy and Adam Sandler dresses as a woman.
