Hidden Sabotager!

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased review. What a wonderful Audible book. It grabbed me from the beginning and held me to the end. Jackie Paxson exhibited an outstanding talent for character and plot development. Chrissy harbours a love for Max but his womanizing ways is a turn off for her. I must admit I thought there was a better choice for her. But alas, I was wrong and I fell in love with Max . He is ready to change his ways when he finds himself falling for Chrissy. However, there are several forces trying to tear them apart. His interactions with her daughter, Mariah, are heartwarming and priceless. He becomes very protective of Chrissy and Mariah. The visit to the sloth statuary will have you laughing out loud as will many other scenes in the story. Both of them have a great group of friends to support them and leave the listener laughing. An incident happens that causes Chrissy to leave Max, but will family and friends help them to reunite?

Overall I enjoyed the narrator. There were times when her words didn't flow smoothly and I didn't like some of her male voices. I thought she did improve as the story progressed. She did an amazing job of portraying the emotions and personalities of these characters. I felt that I really experienced the emotions and desires that the characters felt, and therefore brought this story to life.

I highly recommend this Audible book. It is one that I will reread. The story is charming, delightful, funny, heartwarming, heart-wrenching, and passionate.

Even Better with Audio

I had read this book before but enjoyed it even more with audio. This is a great rom-com with heat and crazy antics from the young, old, and furry. The narrator isn't my favorite but I did like her more this time than last (maybe she really isn't a Talia?).

Romance

I enjoyed the narrator.

I really enjoyed book it is the second in this series. It has romance , It is a lovely story and I would recommend .
