Sassy Lady

De: Becky Barker

Narrado por: Alexandra G. Haag

The story is about a big city girl who takes a job on an Oklahoma ranch. She meets and gets temporarily stranded with loner Curt Hayden, the foreman, and a man with a past that has made him wary of love.

"Ms. Barker strikes gold with this sensitive, yet snappy romance featuring a most memorable pair of lovers." (Romantic Times Bookclub)

"A delightful read. Ms. Barker's story is exceptionally well written, and her characters are both fun, and deeply moving. The white-knuckle ending of the audiobook will leave you on the edge of your seat, until you reach the last page and grab the tissue box, and say, 'Damn, That was a great book' I look forward to seeing more novels by this very talented author.

Lovely!

Lovely sweet story with a little heat. I really liked sassy lady Maggie. She hit Curt’s soft spot, and they both could finally be happy. HEA.

Excellent narration by Alexandra Haag.

Tremendous story!

Sassy Lady, by Becky Barker, is a sweet and fresh story about a city girl and a country boy whose paths cross at the very beginning and their lives criss-cross back and forth until the very end. Maggie comes out to the ranch to interview for a job and finds herself in the middle of a storm with the ranch hand, Curt. He's a definite grump, but you can tell that he has a good heart and he's very protective of Maggie. The sparks fly even when he's teasing her about her fear of mice and spiders. But Curt has built walls around his heart because of a terrible experience with a woman, long ago. He doesn't dare to think that things would be different this time around. Maggie had no problem falling for him and just as things are going well, he has an accident that requires a daring rescue. I really loved this story, the characters were tremendous and it moved at a steady pace until the very last word.
The narration by Alexandra G. Haag was very good. Her dynamic, emotional voice, solid pace and modulation of the story are perfect from start to finish and the characters feel alive.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book written by Becky Barker and narrated by Alexandra Haag. Maggie Malone needs a change in her life so she has traveled to Oklahoma in search of that change. The secretarial position on the McCain ranch fits the bill perfectly. Curt Hayden is the sexy ranch foreman at the McCain ranch.

The narrator Alexandra Haag, did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. She did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

This book has a great story; if you are looking for a great romance,then you need to get this book. I am looking forward to the next book by this author. Once I started listening to this book, I didn’t want to stop until the end.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

A good strong female character!

This was a great story! Maggie and Curt were an interesting couple.The city girl is having to become a country girl. Although her fear of spiders and mice showed the first night when she was stranded at his place, she proves herself intelligent and helpful in all circumstances. Maggie was a really strong female character.
Even though she wasn't his type and he didn't feel like he had anything to give her, Curt definitely was protective and took care of her. They had lots of chemistry right from the start I loved that he picked her up and put her in his bed when it was cold that first night and the morning after when they woke up!. A nice hot start!
There's as much heart in this book as there is heat. A great read by Becky Barker!
The narration by Alexandra G. Haag was very good. Her character voices were outstanding and the overall performance was the same.

SASSY LADY

Maggie moves to the country and takes a job on a large ranch. This story follows her as she meets Curt and neither wants to start a relationship but both likes each other. They both has issues in the past that makes them uneasy to fall in love. Alexander Haag does a good job narrating this book.

DNF - narrator

I tried repeatedly to listen to this, but just couldn't get past the narrator. She just didn't appeal to me, and listening was a struggle.
